A small take-away coffee shop in the center of Barcelona called OKYGO. The idea of the place was to create an interior completely opposite to the atmosphere of the old city streets. The ultra modern and urban design of the place gives the feeling of being in a parallel reality, as if you suddenly find yourself inside a 3D rendering or the metaverse.

One of the walls is completely clad with panels that imitate metal, while the other walls and the floor have a continuous shape thanks to a seamless microcement cladding; there are no skirting boards or moldings here. All brackets are concealed. Table lamps integrated into the Krion countertop add a touch of homey comfort, but here it mor... More

One Plus Partnership immerses cinemagoers in a hyperreal theatrical cityscape
In Wuhan, China, a new cinema immerses visitors in a hyperreal theatrical cityscape. Designed by Hong Kong-based interior design studio One Plus Partnership for Wushang Dream Plaza Mall, the design takes the long-established opening film credits of a bustling streetscape as its inspiration. Under the theme “busy city”, the designers reimagined the aerial views of cities in an abstract form, presenting an interior space as a futuristic fantasy.

The residence sits gently on top of a buried podium, replicating the pre-exiting natural topography. “This hollow post-war neighborhood has been transforming gradually, overtaken by recent developments that rely on size, rather than spatial quality,” says Arshia Architects. “The concept set out to reduce the massing of a rather large project in order for it to l...

Bangladesh Railway office building
Bangladesh Railway is an extremely important organization with a proud heritage. Therefore the head-office building of Railway needed to be such a building that will be an iconic building in the city.
The way the building has been conceived is that of a multi-faceted sculpture that shifts away from the harsh sun light of the west and faces towards the south-east. This faceting not only improves the quality of light and reduces heat gain inside the building but it also creates an abstract sculptural quality of which will make the building extremely unique in the skyline of the CDB of Dhaka city. The building-abstractness will give it a timeless character which we feel is befitting for an organization like Bangladesh railway.
