We designed this well-lit and spacious apartment for a young woman using natural materials.  Our goal was to create a minimalistic and modern-looking interior design that wouldn’t be loud and flashy; elegancy and practicality permeate the entire project. We didn’t choose the layout; the developer did. Yet, their decision to place an internal load-bearing wall at the center of the apartment turned out to be a welcome one; we created a ring layout around it. The bedroom leads to the kitchen, which leads to the bathroom and entrance hall – and vice versa. The customer asked us to wall off a portion of the bedsit to create a proper bedroom; we placed a semi-blind wall and a wood slat room divider that lets the natural l... More

The new headquarter of Bautechnik at Terlano (Italy) gets its characteristic from its neat cut shape that rises from the basement. The façade facing the street presents one single green surface that links the architecture with the landscape. The storehouse is located mostly underground and illuminated by natural light thanks to the translucent façade. The offices are lifted up from the ground and only reachable by a staircase made of stainless steel that finds itself in the entrance area of the building. The open spaced offices have a glazed façade that faces a square which enables eye contact between the inner and the outer working spaces. More

The design concept took shape as an interpretation of the minimalist perception characterizes Apple stores worldwide. The show room was designed with black and white colors, that do not overshadow the presented products, and the contrast between the colors creates both a dominant and a silent look – the black stands out with its intensity at the front of the store and in the flooring of the space, while the white shade dominates the central space of the hall. The designated ergonomic furniture complies accurately to the store’s needs, as it is a central element in the design and used for storage purposes as well. The planning in general adheres with the retail perception of Apple stores worldwide. It is minimalist and nonetheless succeed to... More

Achieving for highly personal and emotional effect the project suggests the image of a luxurious contemporary environment. Diffused light and the extensive use of decorative carpeting - combined with a long black velvet curtain bounding the interior walls to hide lounge and meeting spaces - provide a general atmosphere similar to a hi-end fashion store.Absolute black is chosen to emphasize the decorative qualities of the ceramics on display. The exhibition is organized through independent volumes - sort of tridimensional frames - which offer a controlled view on the individual products and mark a clear but fragmented path full of visual overlaps.Meeting and lounge spaces are both characterized by abstract huge look-a-like chandeliers: large...

This summer house serves as a yearly retreat for a family that lives internationally. The symbolic center of the Armenian home has always been the traditional stone oven, which was the main principle of the design concept for this home. Inspiration was drawn from traditional vernacular Armenian architecture, in which a tonir, a fire pit used for baking bread, is positioned in the center of the home with a hazarashen, an opening in the roof to admit sunlight and release smoke, placed directly above.

The apartment forms part of an elegant industrial brick building dating back to the late 19th-century, located in the Shoreditch district of London. The original, rather disjointed layout saw the apartment composed of a kitchen, a living room, a double bedroom and two bathrooms, all served by a corridor with an adjoining utility room. The renovation project is the result of a successful collaboration between the architectural firm and an Italian London-based interior designer. The functional necessity of obtaining a second bedroom was combined with the desire of the client to enjoy a large open-plan living area. The architectural project has therefore redefined the spaces in order to give centrality to the living area, to which the various... More

These six houses on three adjacent plots should be noticed for their bold black and white facade with far from being a decorative element reveals the very nature of this project. Not a solid block but a labyrinth of outer spaces communicated with the dark stone cladding ribbon flowing from one to the other in 3 directions and provide natural light and cross ventilation in the houses at different levels. Located on a main highway in Kuwait, the houses differentiate themselves from their surroundings by their stark façade design. With two contrasting colours, the façade is designed to define the individual houses, while achieving unity amongst all six. White stucco material is used as the base for all the houses, while dark grey bands of st... More
