Kitchen as Threshold
A structure between living, producing, and coexisting
In the age of digital mobility, space is no longer bound to singular functions; portability, multi-connectivity, and spatial ambiguity have redefined the everyday landscape. Today, a library, a café, or a kitchen is no longer confined to its original role — each can become a workspace, a social interface, or a site of production.
While this transformation has already taken root in public and semi-public realms, the real question lies in how such multifunctionality can be integrated into the domestic scale — particularly within spatial constraints.

Club Abbey
The founders of Club Abbey partnered with Studio Ninetynine to develop a renewing concept with the happiness of both parents and children in mind: Club Abbey is a hospitality venue, play area and community all in one and should offer an altogether distinctive experience where families are immersed in a space like no other.

Design concept
With a focus on natural materials yet colourful accents, the interior design responds to a challenging site, a historic villa with a classic brick facade, high ceilings and two modern fully glazed extensions on opposite sides.

Mediterranean Modern
Looking for a formal frame that would consistently answer the requests of the design brief, we were inspired by a style that can be defined as Mediterranean Modern. A style expressed by residential architecture scattered along the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, interpreting elements of classicism in a contemporary way - arches, iconic staircases, rough surfaces and earth colors. Casa Malaparte in Capri or some of the vacation villas of Gio Ponti on the North Italian Riviera are examples of this architectural style.

Darabad Residential
The Darabad Residential was very challenging due to the location of the site, which was located on the slope of the mountain, next to the river. In the concept of the project, an attempt was made to see the contrast between the mountain and the river, in order to do so, the project was made up of two volumes, one of which circulates in the direction of the river and passes by it, relative to the other. The larger and rotated volume that stretches in front of the river has a façade made out of break and the smaller volume that is placed on the side of the mountains has a façade of cement.

Poli House
Our team’s main goal in developing the «Poli House» architectural project was to harmoniously blend the house's architecture with the surrounding environment. Stone, wood, and glass are the primary materials used in this house’s exterior and interior design.
Andrii Shurpenkov
The whole project of the house can be described as a small private complex consisting of three buildings - the main house, a guest house, and a gazebo. When designing, the Bezmirno team connected all zones into a common structure, in a single style.

Mondi Headquarters
A multidisciplinary team for a diverse, digital and sustainable future Mondi recently went through a rebranding, positioning itself as a leader in the paper and plastic packaging industry. It focused on sustainability, friendliness and openness, which all had to be communicated in the new space. It had to have a killer look but also be highly functional from an architectural perspective, while including fresh technology and interactivity.
Martin Sighart
That’s why a multidisciplinary team of experts was hired, with Responsive Spaces and Startaparat as the communication, project management and budget lead, responsible not only for creative solutions, but also for the production of the entire project.

osch Campus II
In 2018, we were asked by the leading German designer Robert Bosch Kft. to design the concept for the new Bosch Campus II headquarters of the Bosch representative office in Hungary, which is planned on a 60 000 m2 site. The German management decided to modernize the existing and leased buildings and create a new research development center for nearly 1800 engineers. All this is made necessary by the large-scale changes in the automotive industry.

City Cross has been reimagined as a new, dynamic, and lively destination in the centre of Adelaide. Representing a crossing point between retail and commercial in the CBD, City Cross, affectionately abbreviated to ‘CX’, brings an elevated dining and retail experience to the City’s existing Rundle Mall precinct.
Drawing on Buchan’s extensive knowledge of lifestyle and dining precincts, the architectural vision was to create a unique space for City Cross in the market, to create a destination that was timeless and reflective of its material context. Extensive research into the end user and close collaboration with the client has created a space which takes design to a new level, creating a memorable experience for bot... More

Pentridge Village
The former Pentridge Prison site is set to transform into a vibrant and sustainable urban village that celebrates the rich cultural history of the infamous gaol.
The design blends the old with the new. Buchan’s design for the retail and entertainment component combines heritage buildings with thoughtful, contemporary design. The goal is to invigorate an important historical asset to create a shopping centre and community piazza featuring a retail and laneway dining precinct and represent the scale and character of the well-known prison.

Tribe Hotel, Malta
Leading Manchester-based designers SpaceInvader have created the interiors scheme for a new-build, 9-storey, 95-bed Tribe hotel within Malta’s fast-developing airport city complex for client Claret Group in partnership with Accor. The owners of the Skypark development in Malta, where the hotel will be located, invited bids for one of the sites to become a hotel. The bid by Tribe - the new ‘affordable luxury’ brand from Accor - together with a regional Maltese consortium won the bid and Malta-based architects AP Valletta Ltd have now designed the building envelope, with designers SpaceInvader creating the hotel’s interior concept.

A Journey Through 60-Year-Long Vegeta History
To mark the 60th Vegeta anniversary, we organised a “60-year-long journey”, a unique train journey from Zagreb to Koprivnica and back staging all historical phases of this iconic Croatian product.
We’ve brought our guests to revisit 1959, the year when Vegeta was first created in the Podravka factory. In cooperation with Brigada, for the first time ever in Croatia, an entire train turned into an event restaurant. On the way to Koprivnica, our guest could enjoy a celebratory menu, as well as a special entertainment programme which continued inside the old Vegeta factory in Koprivnica with a play that told the story about how Vegeta, thanks to scientist Zlata Bartl who created it, set out to conquer the world. This beautifu... More

The One Croatian Story
The exhibition showcases a 20-year-long collaboration between Adris Group and the creative agency Bruketa&Žinić&Grey
Collaboration is a shared journey with its own flow and events, and this journey is reflected in the design of the exhibition “The One Croatian Story”, inaugurated in the Adris Gallery on the occasion of the twelfth Weekend Media Festival. This journey, which represents the works as checkpoints of the creative collaboration between Adris Group and Bruketa&Žinić&Grey, is displayed as a series of cut circles that are expanding and shrinking, allowing the visitor to navigate through the works and stop in each circle to contemplate the meaning behind each exhibit. According to the curator’s visi... More

CONCEPT
Concept is a Margres collection that explores the softness and elegance of limestone. In a perfect symbiosis between classic and avant-garde architecture, Concept has the capacity to join harmony and sophistication in one only collection.
Produced in coloured paste porcelain stoneware, this collection is inspired in limestone, a very elegant and soft stone. Interpreted in porcelain, Concept presents a great resistance, which offers new possibilities and uses. In order to turn this collection more realistic, it was developed a mica effect, which can also be found in the original stone. More
