Oman Across Ages Museum
Located in Nizwa, Oman, is an architectural masterpiece, known as the Oman Across Ages Museum. Inspired by the forms of the Hajar Mountains and their canyons, the building houses of 9000 square metres of exhibition space, in which visitors can explore an impressive collection of artefacts and information showcasing Oman’s rich cultural heritage.The project is centred around the true understanding of form and material and the interaction of light in all its forms, which is why the lighting choices follow the architectural order. Therefore, each luminaire is specifically chosen to support the overall vision.

Arpa arredamenti
For the restyling of the Arpa Arredamenti headquarters, we proposed to the customer a composite material cladding of a very particular colour called “sunset”, which was then further enhanced by the compositional choices.

The special iridescent paint used gives a continuously mutating perception of the colours of the panels depending on the incidence of the sunlight. This means that the different sections of the building will take on different colour hues depending on the time of the day.
To make the most of this feature, the façade has been made more dynamic through an update of the old geometries, changing the inclination of some panels, so that the light will always hit at different angles.

Lloyd Soonvijai Sales Gallery
The design of the Lloyd Soonvijai Condominium sales gallery is truly remarkable in its ability to balance the urban energy with the serenity of a residential area. This one-story building, with its trapezoid shape and slanted front facade, offers an outdoor space that is both functional and visually appealing.
PANORAMIC STUDIO
The columns clad in aluminum composite, arranged in a random pattern, serve as a representation of the hybrid urban tissue concept and the blend of the city's energy with the surrounding greenery. The zigzag pattern of the front closure, alternating between timber and glass, further enhances the building's aesthetic appeal and reinforces the idea of a hybrid urban tissue.

Hachette Livre Headquarters in Vanves
The complexity of the site called first of all for a detailed constructibility review. All constraints were modelled on the current PLU (plan local d’urbanisme – local urban development plan) – building heights, street alignments, distances from buildings on neighbouring plots – in order to obtain the greatest possible constructible volume. From this potential form, an initial model was developed, enabling us to define the various design options possible under the current regulations, as well as possible adaptations that could be envisaged in the event of the PLU being revised.
This review established the broad lines of the project with respect to its urban location: the largest volumes are situated facing the street (Rue Jean Bleuzen),... More
