Baugruppe D2
Somewhere between the daily madness of real estate sharks, major investors, and gentrification, a popular alternative model has developed in Berlin over the past decades – the building group (Baugruppe). The D2 building group, consisting of fifteen families, was fortunate enough to secure one of the last vacant plots in a central location in Neukölln. The design task for IFUB* was to create a building that is well-integrated into the city, ecological, yet modern and friendly, with lots of greenery and shared spaces in the courtyard and on the rooftop.

Terracota office
The office space is located in one of the buildings in the center of Kyiv, Ukraine. The workspace is separated from the hallway area by a hanging cabinet.

The original concrete structure was retained and we used it as the main design element. It serves as a stage for the workspace. Large glazing opposite the concrete columns completes the ring of this area. You can see a couple of seating areas with poufs. There are many cabinets and shelves in every room of the office.

Hotel Sexto Sentido
In contrast to the hotels developed in Cancún, designed to satisfy the growing demand of visitors to this Caribbean jewel, Hotel Sexto Sentido is a Love Hotel designed by DIN interiorismo´s team thinking on the city inhabitants. The focus on the target allowed to shape a concept that was not related to the sea, a challenge enjoyed by this group of creatives.
The selected theme were the emotions which were then refined to those related with the best of sexual intercourse. Joy: the pleasure feeling for a delightful event. Euphoria: the sense of optimism and wellbeing produced by satisfaction. Lust: taking its vibrant side, the disordered and untamed sexual desire. And Ecstasy could not miss: the maximum state of plenitud... More

Seestadt Aspern - Site D23
The planning site (D23) is situated in the southwest area of the Seestadt Aspern /1220 Vienna. The three building sections with 4 to 5 storeys and a total of fifty homes are the first freely financed condominiums in this suburb. French windows, brick construction and spaciously dimensioned balconies and terraces ensure an amenable home feeling and revive almost forgotten qualities in housing.A special highlight of the project is formed by the colourfully ornamented cement tiles in the stairwell. Inspired by the aesthetic and tradition of (Viennese) Jugendstil / art nouveau, the modernist design radiates its own unique aura and identification potential for the residents. More

The Children's Museum
Owing to Her Majesty Queen Rania’s wish, a special institution was planned and designed, to be the first of its kind in the Kingdom, providing an interactive learning environment, nurturing the power of imagination and the spirit of exploration and self-discovery in children ages 1-14.
Design Statement: The beginning idea came from the “kids toy box”, where one finds building blocks with basic colors such as red, blue, orange, yellow…, in addition to the abundance of platonic masses and shapes that attract the child’s attention to explore, imagine and learn through the act of playing. This is summed up in the old Chinese proverb: “I Hear And I Forget, I See And I Remember, I Do And I Understand”. Design Guidelines: The challenge was to tra... More
