Arches

Bei der Renovierung dieses eleganten Hauses im Zentrum von Mailand ging es darum, historische Elemente zu erhalten und sie mit neuen Gestaltungselementen zu verbinden. Der zentrale Kern des Hauses ist die Diele mit der Kassettendecke, die Räume und Formen schafft. Durch die Farbe wird die Architektur emanzipiert und entwickelt sich von einer vergangenen zu einer zeitgenössischen Phase. Puderblau ist die Farbe, die den gesamten Raum bedeckt, zusammen mit dem Weinrot, das in die Portale eindringt, die von den Kurven von Piero Portaluppi inspiriert sind. Durch die Portale erreicht man das Arbeitszimmer und das große Wohnzimmer, in dem sich sowohl die Fernsehecke als auch das Esszimmer befinden. Davide Arena Davide Arena... Mehr

Marusho was founded in Yokohama 55 years ago. We were in charge of the renovation design of the 1st floor sales floor, staircase, and façade, in continuation of last year's second-floor clothing area. In contrast to the 2nd floor, which was mainly a formal Kimono for weddings, the 1st floor displays 3 types of Kimono which are Furisode for coming-of-age ceremonies, Hakama for graduation ceremonies, and　Shichi-Go-San　for kids. Caption The façade before the renovation had curved wall with white tiles, which did not match the image of the Kimono. For this reason, we added a gate-shaped structure to hide the curved wall, and a straight wall covered with exposed-aggregate finish parallel to the road was created. Peeler louve... Mehr

Happily, their views and needs matched with our approach and together we were able to establish a design proposal with which we applied for state funding and subsequently the school won the finances needed for the realization. Teachers wanted to have the proper facilities to prepare children for the professions of the future, like environmentalist, computer specialist, robotics engineer and others in the STEM field. To answer their requirements, we proposed that each of the laboratories of the refurbished center has its distinctive feature in a specifi... Mehr

Anthos was born from the desire to achieve a design that simultaneously takes advantage and enhances the architectural features of the space.The original space consisted of a single tunnel-shaped room divided into four squared bays with vaulted ceiling. The concept envisions the division of space into two functionally different zones:The first three bays host the clothing display while the last bay contains a mirroring wall, the cashier desk and the accessories display as a background of the composition.Furniture seizing focuses on a geometric module based on the subdivision of the bay into three parts.Lighting represents an important part of the project. In fact, integrating lighting within the pieces of furniture, allows an optimal exhib... Mehr

Aim of the programme was to turn neglected and forgotten space into an area open to meetings, concerts and artistic events, thus a reclamation to city inhabitants. NAWA is the cr... Mehr
