The album, whose title means "dwell more beautifully," presents the work of renowned Polish architecture studios done in the last four years. The presented designs are urban homes and apartments, suburban homes and vacation homes. They confirm the distinguished role our architects play in setting the latest world trends in design. The text by Beata Majchrowska brings out what is most interesting in contemporary interior design and architecture. The architects' and stylists' propositions in this album can inspire and encourage the reader to take bold steps in creating a space all one's own.
The publication was nominated for awards in the Polish Association of Book Publishers Competition for Most Beautiful Books of the Year 2008.

"Mieszkać piękniej" [Live more beautifully] - a slogan that became the title of a fascinating album. It was published - and what a book it is! - by the small Buffi Press which specializes in elegant, well-thought-out editions ... The pictures show something usually hidden and inaccessible - private homes, well-designed by Polish architects ...
I warn you against reading this album - envy might begin to gnaw at us, we'll start planning alterations, we'll fall into debt. But at the same time I warmly recommend that you read it, because the more beautifully we live, the better we will feel."
Grzegorz Sowula, Rzeczpospolita, 1/20/2009

"Yes, it can happen. What is more, it can happen in Poland. A journalist and a photographer have created an extraordinary album about architecture and interiors. It deals exclusively with Poland and what has been achieved in the last four years. World-class design, taste and extravagance which designers of homes for British high society wouldn't be ashamed of. This is groundbreaking, essential for lovers of interior design."
Łukasz Modelski, Twój Styl, 3/2009
