Corporate Office Interior - TX

In contemporary corporate interior design, openness and transparency are expressed through design choices. One of the most effective materials supporting this is woven wire mesh for corporate interior design, which allows architects and designers to define space without sacrificing visual continuity. Woven wire mesh lets designers define areas without closing them off, keeping spaces visually connected while still clearly organized. The final result is an environment that feels open, active, and easy to navigate. In café and hospitality-style spaces, wire mesh often plays a key role in shaping the experience. Gantries over bars and mesh-framed enclosures help establish zones while staying light and inviting. The Banker SZ-4 woven wi... More

Ville Thalia

In the landscape of the Euganean Hills, in Abano Terme, the Ville Thalia project reorganizes a plot through the composition of two distinct building bodies: a single-family residence and a two-family building. The intervention chooses a contemporary architectural language, based on the clarity of volumes and the control of proportions, distancing itself from traditional forms to assert its own geometric identity. The genesis of the project starts from an essential and linear floor plan. To prevent this simplicity from translating into visual staticity, the design of the first-floor elevations introduces a decisive three-dimensional variation. The main envelope, characterized by sand-colored plaster, is interrupted and rhythmed by the inser... More

Villa Victoria

In the province of Padua, the Villa Victoria project stands out for a precise stylistic choice that moves away from conventional white standards to explore the richness of dark and enveloping tones. The intervention works on the density of the space, where light serves to enhance the tactile and chromatic quality of the surfaces. The generating element of the internal composition is the chestnut oak floor. This continuous, brown surface acts as a noble base upon which the living area volumes are set, through contrast or assonance. The kitchen is resolved architecturally through columns in liquid bronze metal, whose luminous vibration serves as a backdrop for the central island: a stone monolith with warm veins, a material that reappears pu...

We extended the main bedroom onto the front balcony and changed the bathroom layouts so the main en-suite has views and is open to the main bedroom. The emphasis is on the open plan living and main bedroom space. The second guest bedroom is smaller and less important. One of the more crucial designs was that of the ceiling and lighting.
