AY STUDIO 就行 Imperfect Beauty Pursuing personal beauty is an entangling journey. It demands being at peace with oneself and accepting the imperfections that make us perfect for one another. These imperfections are not mistakes; they are marks of uniqueness and badges of courage. They are not meant to be hidden but shared and celebrated. In the same way, every building has its personality, complete with imperfections. Confronting these quirks instead of fixing them offers an opportunity to create unique spaces. Embracin... More

Zadkine Beauty&Design Lab

Krill-Office for Resilient Cities and Architecture designed a flexible, immersive cobalt blue learning workshop for Zadkine students: the Beauty & Design Lab.  Located at the Karel Doormanstraat, a shopping street in the heart of Rotterdam, a former covid test site was repurposed as innovative learning environment for blended learning. Mixing physical and online education has been taken as central theme in this design. The space derives its color from the bluescreen; a cobalt blue floor continues with a gradient on the walls. When curtains are closed, entirely blue spaces are formed in which customers can be scanned for virtual avatars to enable digital fitting of cloths, jewelry and make up and to digitally try out different hair...

Amalfi

Multifunctional solution designed as the union of the massage table and the pedicure station, Amalfi is a complete work tool, equipped with 3 electric motors for height, backrest and leg adjustment. The horseshoeshaped mattress is specially designed with an easily removable section which, once reintegrated, offers a large and comfortable work surface. The elegant base features a built-in hydromassage tub, equipped with the Hydromassage Pipeless system. It is therefore possible, through a simple hydraulic arrangement, to transform the classic treatment cabin into a wellness spa cabin with extreme practicality, offering a multifunctional station and complete pedicure spa.

Villa Bunkherr

The biggest challenge of the project Bunkherr came up at the outset of the collaboration between the client and the architects. The attractive hillside property was located in a former holiday home neighborhood set amidst a picturesque landscape in Hesse, Germany. Due to great dedication, perseverance and a tenacious struggle for the client’s strong desire to build their home in this very attractive place, a construction permit could finally be successfully acquired. The design is based on the idea of a human back, which divides the property into two areas: a public hillside area, which contains the entrance to the house, the garage and a spacious, plaza-like courtyard - an inviting place to share time with friends and neighbors. Eve... More

Office Castle Waldenburg

The unusual atmosphere of the entire office is further enhanced by an interesting collection of various art objects such as paintings and sculptures by well-known artists. In cooperation with the Gallery Cyprian Brenner, numerous exhibits were carefully selected and placed in suitable places throughout the entir... More
