A-1102

 Flat A1102, perched on the 11th floor, feels like a home in the sky with a front-row seat to the iconic Lalbagh Garden. From this height, the view stretches endlessly—a blanket of green that shifts with the rhythm of the day, from soft morning light to golden evening hues. The balcony here isn’t just about the view; it opens wide to let in a constant flow of fresh air, breathing life into the entire home and creating a rare openness in the heart of the city.

WING HOUSE

Given the protracted construction history, the site had accumulated a vast array of discarded raw materials. The design team’s first endeavour was to creatively repurpose these materials, ensuring sustainability while infusing the home with character. For instance, reclaimed wooden pieces were skilfully reimagined into bespoke doors and furniture, while hollow metal pipes were cut into circular rims and transformed into an intricate MS screen for the backyard. This ethos of repurposing set the foundation for the residence’s aesthetic and functional evolution. The spatial planning adhered to a sachin verma hierarchy of privacy:The ground floor was conceptualized as an open, welcoming space for family interactions and guest... More

S.Be

The project entails a complete renovation of a small apartment for a young professional. Simone Furiosi   The initial design approach involved the demolition of all existing walls that rigidly delineated the rooms.  Simone Furiosi Instead of doors, the spaces are now separated through ceiling lowerings, lines of color, and custom-made furniture.A perspective view encompasses the entire space in its entirety, from one facade to another.  Simone Furiosi Like small brushstrokes on a blank canvas, the color doesn’t define the main functions of the dwelling but rather the voids: the spaces traditionally considered liminal gain their own importance and become a series of chromatic and semantic references wi...

Crava Studio

When we approach the history of architecture and sculpture, it is inevitable that we speak of marble. The luxury product, marble, quartz, quartzite, etc can add glamour and character to the given space. The very process of selection of these products is tedious and challenging. Our client Crava studio wants to make this process simpler by offering a display centre in heart of the city.   A.J Architects We planned to design the small studio as a unique premium space with a sense of “young vibe”. The design concept adopted was “Time Collage”, which means a new space-time area, that is, the third space where different elements of the past and present coexist and provides a new trend created by a combination o...

LONG ISLAND GRAND RESIDENCE

The Long Island Residence is an expansive and lush 24,000 square foot French style abode surrounded by Italian garden with sweeping views of the NYC skyline. When Giusi Mastro, Founder and Owner of ORA Studio NYC met the client, the exterior home design and look were already established by the client, who wanted to emulate a French style mansion that he had in his mind and his heart all his life. With the help of a local Architect, he mapped out the proportion, look and orientation of the house. The client knew that he wanted to have a classic exterior with interiors that reflect a modern and contemporary home and sought an Interior Architect with a likeminded sensibility.  Richard Cadan Photography “The client wanted to in...

Copper Cube Haus

A second home for a professional with an itinerant lifestyle, this apartment was designed to create a sense of stability and repose between trips. The crux of the spatial intervention was the opening up the existing linear compartmentalised orchestration into an upbeat, almost studio apartment-like setting. The hero of the narrative was the kitchen block that was delineated into a detached cuboid (free from the ceiling and walls) that would serve both as a bar/serving counter (from the living room side) and a cooking space. The distinction was intensified by sheathing it in copper — giving this house its name: Copper Cube Haus. The burnished cube overlooks the living area with its compact sofa and a small dining cum discussion table,... More

Labor Chair

Simple and reduced chair Labour with its shape and design fits easily in various spaces. What makes this chair somewhat different from other standard chairs is a very rich and spacious seat that is wider and deeper and makes it extremely comfortable and cozy. An ergonomic and reduced three-dimensional backrest in the shape of a half-moon is additionally responsible for its comfort. At the same time, with the fullness of its shape and the way it is connected to the rest of the construction, this chair gives the necessary amount of luxury and unusuality. By choosing European walnut for the wooden part or leather-covered seat, an ideal combination of elegance and nobility is obtained. More
