What began with a “Stübli” (a cosy parlour) for the new villa in Luxembourg became a holistic design concept. A truly distinctive space was created according to the vision of the design team who worked with the motif of the “Four Seasons”. Warm and cosy in autumn and winter, and minimalist in spring and summer, this building benefits all year round from the individually selected materials and design details specially developed for the project. There is a truly unique “Art de Vivre” that can be felt as soon as you step into the impressive entrance.

The red copper will oxidize with the passage of time, which makes time meaningful to the space and is a clever makeup. It can make the space classic and eye-ca... More

A modern single-family house with an area of 350 m2 was built in Starachowice, a city located on the border of the Swietokrzyskie Mountains and the Ilzeckie Foothills.

The interaction between the spaces inside and outside is extremely compelling and of great visual appeal. The driveway is a simple curve brick wall which screens the o... More
