Warsaw's 'Mozna Zwariowac' by Thisispaper Studio

Zuzanna Gąsior of Thisispaper Studio has transformed a former office space in a historic building at Marszałkowska 140 into the first therapeutic clinic for the 'Można Zwariować' Foundation. Founded by Ania Cyklińska and Cleo Ćwiek, creators of a podcast dedicated to mental health and wellbeing, the clinic embodies their vision of a welcoming, thoughtful space that transcends traditional therapeutic environments.

Housed in a building under conservation protection, the project required delicate precision. Formerly a law office for over 40 years, the space underwent a complete “reset” to shed remnants of its past. The original layout of four symmetrical rooms and a central corridor was retained, but thoughtful interventions redefined its purpose. A central pillar, once a design challenge, was reimagined as an elliptical column — a sculptural centerpiece that unifies the space and directs focus toward the “living room,” envisioned as the clinic’s beating heart.

'Można Zwariować' redefines what a therapeutic clinic can be. Warmth replaces austerity, and artistry takes precedence over formality. Every detail — from lighting and furniture to artistic accents — is imbued with intention, creating an environment that nurtures comfort, presence, and transformation.
