Residenza B05

Residenza B05 is an interior architecture project in which colour is used as a design tooland as a spatial organizing principle. The layout is structured around a central corridor,from which the rooms unfold through a sequence of thresholds and visual transitions thatdefine functions without relying on rigid partitions. The corridor, conceived as the connective spine of the apartment, becomes an inhabitable space in its own right. A large custom-built wardrobe integrates the laundry area, while a burgundy ceiling and softly rounded corners guide movement and ease circulation, transforming a passageway into a lived-in environment.

Arbeit

This project was a conversion of an existing garage into the new home of a startup software company.  Designed around a set of OSB-clad boxes, the design plays with solid and void, with the boxes forming an irregular composition in the main garage workspace, but resolving in an ordered, formal elevation in the adjacent workroom.  Color animates the spaces, creating a playful contrast with the white and neutral palette of the open areas.

APT TESTACCIO

Located in the Testaccio district in a building of the early '900, between the Lungotevere and the Slaughterhouse, the apartment overlooks almost entirely on the plane trees and the river, creating a different scenario in every season. The restructuring has focused on the redefinition of services and a new general concept to make the environments more functional and adherent to the needs of the new client. Caption Caption The interior design maintains the original conformation marked by load-bearing masonry and develops from a distributive filter, apparently treated in a neutral, silent way that actually welcomes the natural light and color coming from neighboring environments, animating in a different way depending on the positi...

Hotel La Venta

One of the most important abilities of interior design is to create a new image for the spaces taking advantage of what you already have injecting an updated productive atmosphere to prolong wedge life. Hotel La Venta needed to leave behind its 80s style taking a quantum leap into the new millennium supported on DIN interiorismo´s experience.    The project´s target revolved around a new spirit joyful and fun so they started to play with its name. It was in its basic definition and synonyms that they found the concepts that marked the guidelines to add into the love hotels family.   The common thread is the uninterrupted exchange of strokes, shapes and colors imprinting dynamism to the walk between the rooms f...

Hotel iPico

The design concept and name of this Love Hotel, done by DIN interiorismo´s team, derives from its location in Texcoco municipality and the famous international horse fair that is celebrated here since 1978. The name iPico plays with the word that indicates reference to everything related to the horse and a funny double meaning in Spanish that makes a rogue recall towards the objective of visiting the hotel.   Another element used as part of the concept for the interior design are the illustrations from the famous weekly publication: El Libro Vaquero (The Cowboy Book), which happened to start being published in the same year of the fair, consequently were considered as an ideal element to integrate the old wild west with a very...

Apartment for Art Collectors

Our clients, passionate art lovers and collectors, enlisted us to combine two apartments on the 17th floor of a Fifth Avenue building, offering panoramic views of Central Park and the city. Their goal was to create a space that would showcase their art collection—paintings and sculptures—while providing a neutral backdrop. We transformed the original, segmented layout into an open floor plan that evokes the feel of an art gallery. The design serves as a canvas itself, with soft white walls and a concrete floor featuring irregular bronze inserts. The living, dining, and kitchen areas flow seamlessly around a central volume, displaying art on all sides and creating a light-filled, uninterrupted space. To preserve the gallery amb... More

LH135. Restoration office building

Restore means to work with the history of what we have inherited from the past and, simply, make it look towards the future... That requires looking back with affection but without nostalgia.   When we were asked to carry out the restoration of "LH135" building, as opposed to completely transforming the spaces, our main concept sought to embrace the valuable elements of the original industrial design and made them look towards the future. Originally designed by an engineer, during our first visit to LH135 we found an old industrial building, characterized by a concrete structure of regular columns and beams, terrazzo floor tiles pavement, a granite lobby and an imposing limestone façade.    We decided to restore all these elements and leave...

Eindhoven Strijp S / Gebouw Gerard

The urban master plan and the expressed departure points formulated within the master plan formed the starting points for the integration of new functions and the associated design for ‘Gerard’. The transformation concept for ‘Gerard’ is in line with the distinctive core values of the context, the factory buildings of the ‘Hoge rug’. These being: the strong structural basis, the structural skeleton, the modular articulation in the façade, the functionality and flexibility of the plan, wherein the structure of the building takes the lead. The approach of the design can be referred to as a structuralistone, it has developed a grammar based on the structure of the main construction. With this grammar and by introducing air and light, i... More
