SpatialMore identifies where value is lost, structures

decision processes, and connects data, strategy and design

across urban and architectural scales.

SCROLL TO EXPLORE

Strategic decisions shaping spatial design — from buildings to urban systems.

01

Defining whether the challenge is structural — related to processes, roles and decisions
within the project or spatial, requiring design.

02

Based on the nature of the problem, defining what decisions need to be made, by whom and when —
so they support the project instead of blocking it.

03

Developing the most effective solution — a structured strategy or a spatial concept ready to act on.

SpatialMore was founded by architect
Bartosz Kołodziej as a consequence
of experiences across Poland,
France and Germany — on residential,
commercial and infrastructure projects.

Bartosz Kołodziej
2013
Architectural practice — Poland, France Office buildings. Commercial interiors. Observing how spatial decisions shape outcomes.
2017
Infrastructure architecture — Germany Metro stations. Residential developments. A pattern emerges: systematic approach is critical.
2024
Research into decision-making at SGH Warsaw School of Economics. Behavioral economics applied to architecture.
2026
Founding SpatialMore
12+ years of international experience
on large-scale, complex projects
in architecture.
Recognized at the 2025 IARP Scientific Award Competition for research on decision-making in spatial practice.
SpatialMore was selected as a semifinalist in the 2025 EEC Startup Challenge.

Bartosz Kołodziej studied Architecture and Urban Planning at the Faculty of Architecture at Cracow University of Technology, graduating in 2014. He gained his early experience at Nicolas Laisné Architectes in Paris, working on winning residential competition entries. He then continued his career in Cracow, at Schwitzke Górski and nsMoonStudio, where he worked on commercial interiors and office buildings.

In 2017, he moved to Germany and joined netzwerkarchitekten in Darmstadt. There, he worked on residential developments and large-scale public infrastructure projects — metro stations in Hamburg and Munich — across all project phases, from concept to execution.

Through these experiences, he began to notice a recurring pattern: spatial projects bring together different disciplines, stakeholders, and decisions that rarely speak the same language, regardless of the scale, function, or location of the building. A persistent gap kept appearing in the way individual project participants understood a given problem and, consequently, in the criteria they adopted when seeking a solution.

To better understand the mechanisms behind this, he expanded his work beyond traditionally understood architecture by completing postgraduate management studies at the Warsaw School of Economics (SGH). There, he focused on the application of behavioral economics to decision-making in spatial practice. His research was recognized in the 2025 Scientific Award Competition of the Chamber of Architects of the Republic of Poland (IARP).

In 2026, Bartosz Kołodziej founded SpatialMore to close the gap between different ways of understanding spatial challenges, the decision-making process, and their translation into design.

Everyone involved sees only part of the problem, but no one sees how it all comes together.

Spatial decisions are distributed across multiple actors, each operating with its own logic, priorities, timelines, and definition of success.

Different participants in the spatial process — public administration, urban planners, investors, architects, and specialists — interpret the same problem according to different priorities, without a shared structure that would allow them to be aligned.

This leads to fragmented outcomes, misaligned priorities, and built environments that fail to fully satisfy any stakeholder.

Every spatial challenge is transformed through a structured process, from raw data into spatial form.

Bridging analysis and design

Spatial decisions are shaped as much by measurable evidence as by cognitive biases.

Our process is built to bridge this gap — structuring what is known, challenging how it is interpreted, testing what is uncertain, and turning decisions into clear spatial forms.

It is built for developers, cities, companies and institutions facing decisions that are too consequential to get wrong.

Input
Data
Comprehensive spatial data from multiple sources.

Urban data, demographics, economic indicators, environmental factors and regulations are combined into a single, coherent view of the site clarifying what is known from the outset.
Processing
Analysis
Revealing patterns and relationships.

Spatial relationships are analyzed to identify correlations, assess constraints and evaluate development potential uncovering what can and cannot be built.
Exploration
Scenarios
Exploring possible development paths.

Multiple scenarios are generated and tested against changing conditions including market shifts, regulatory changes and environmental factors to understand how different decisions shape outcomes.
Iteration

Strategy
Turning insight into decisions.

Analysis and scenarios converge into clear strategic choices grounded in data, tested through modeling, aligned with stakeholder priorities, and aware of potential cognitive bias in decision-making.
Output
Design
Translating strategy into spatial form.

Design is not an afterthought. It is integrated throughout the process ensuring that strategic decisions become buildable architecture and coherent urban outcomes.
