Mogilany

The estate of houses is situated on a gentle slope of Góra Mogilańska – a place offering an exceptional view. To the south, the area opens to a magnificent panorama of the mountains, with the summits of Pilsko, Babia Góra and the peaks of the High Tatras; to the north it overlooks the panorama of Cracow and the surrounding hills with the Camaldolese monastery dominating the landscape. Situated in the immediate vicinity is the Mogilany palace-and-park complex, the town’s market square and a 17th century church. The whole – the urban pattern and architectural solutions for the individual houses – has been subordinated to the idea of full opening to the surrounding landscape. The buildings situated along the hill slope form layouts of the interiors of estate streets and private gardens. The perspective of each of them is closed by a distant mountain landscape. The houses, separated from the streets by stone walls, open up to far views from the garden side.
