Soft Light Villa
Soft Light Villa is an interior shaped around warmth, ease and the changing rhythms of family life. Set within a Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland villa on a typically constrained site, the architecture works through light, colour and material to make a compact home feel more generous.

The experience begins at the threshold. A sage-painted front door inset with watermelon-coloured glass casts softly tinted light into the house, setting the tone for the rooms beyond. Nearby, lemon-coloured muffled glass defines the home office, separating it from family life, introducing a little optimism to every working day.

Residence CEDAR
The semi‐detached urban residence built in 1910 on the slopes of Mount Royal, near the city center, was acquired in 2020 by the current owners. The residence had to be renovated given its age, the lack of maintenance and the state of degradation of several elements. The building had been the subject of several more or less interesting and successful interventions by the previous owners. Nevertheless, several original elements were still present and needed to be highlighted. It should be noted that the original building had undergone an extension in 1920 designed by the Montreal architectural firm Ross and Macdonald.

OMA thinktank AMO realizes Off-White store in Paris with a feast of textures
Like the earlier work of OMA, the Kunsthal in Rotterdam, the Paris Off-White store is a feast of textures and materials. The store’s distinct different atmospheres are conceptualized into the three architectural characters of the courtyard, the gallery and the flea market.

Praça das Flores
Located in Lisbon, in the central and iconic area of Praça das Flores, this project transforms an apartment with 5 rooms into a Guesthouse. The initial structure of the apartment is maintained and the spaces are organised according to a hierarchy of space occupancy – internally the spaces are grouped in different areas- rooms, living areas, kitchen and circulations for guests and service circulation.The rooms were designed to provide moments of calm and serenity for our soul, as a reminder of the name of the Guest house “Casa c’alma”, given by the owners. The furniture is eclectic and the colours used are soft, and it was our intention to mix vintage and contemporary pieces, returning to the feeling of being “home” and belonging to a... More
Modular
COSMIC unvelied at ICFF New York (14-17 May of 2016) its MODULAR expanding collection, designed by Álex Armenter. It is the extending original idea of offering made-to- measure bathroom furniture with new countertops, washbasins and modules. The new range maintains its current aesthetic and is true to the original design in proportions, lines and style.
The extended collection incorporates new continuous countertops with integrated washbasins or washbasins and above-counter washbasins. In this way a new option more in-tune with current tastes is added, with the added benefit of having chosen Cristalplant ® Biobased solid surface as its material, which is made in Italy and is internationally recognized for its properties. Regarding the a... More
