Inscape Meditation Studio
INSCAPE, a new meditation concept, opened in Manhattan 2016. Archi-Tectonics designed the Inscape concept not only as a one-off, but also for worldwide distribution. The first PROTO space in Chelsea occupies a large 6000sf ground floor. The space contains a set of large volumes; ellipsoid meditation spaces; a “Dome Room” and an “Alcove room”, an extensive retail space, as well as a lounge for guests. An important element of healthy living is found in lifestyle changes, meditation and ‘cleaner’ live-work environments. When developing the Inscape meditation concept, prefab construction, renewable materials, such as bamboo, linen and cardboard, became the driver of the spatial configueration.

Camino a la Piedra
In this project we worked with the idea of variable context as the main axis of the design process. This idea, although widely debated, is far from being finished. Especially when we understand the idea of context from different angles and beyond the usual notions that have to do with sites or with sociocultural backgrounds.We consider that the material aspects, and the atmospheres that can arise from them, suppose a source of concepts that can perfectly be considered as contextual. These atmospheres can be deliberately sought, presenting by itself a form of context. They can also be the unintended result of a series of design operations, also acting as contextual variables. This work, dedicated to meditation, aims to achieve a s... More

The church in Stella is an appreciated spiritual place for people from far and wide, not least because it is located along the popular Sigmund Freud path in the alpine woods at 1300 m.a.s.l.
The conversion and renovation of the building dating back to the fifties is aimed at reevaluating the existing structure and making it more attractive. The main focus of the modification is in achieving a friendly and inviting atmosphere and a well-defined architectural structure.
The east facade of the building was broken through to provide the church interior with more daylight. The huge rectangular opening behind the presbytery bathes the interior in light and underlines the pursuit of linking inside to outside, in a way spiritual to profane.... More
Brooklands Hotel
Efficient consumption is playing an increasingly important role both on the racetrack and in sanitary facilities
Located in the heart of Weybridge in Surrey, near London, the luxurious Brooklands Hotel is completely dedicated to marrying tradition and modernity. Brooklands was once the world’s first purpose built race track and the hotel has been redesigned with a knowing nod to the legacy of the race circuit that surrounds and runs through it. The new Brooklands Hotel combines the traditional aspects of the original races of the 1920s and 1930s with contemporary architecture and design that are individual and luxurious at the same time.
The Art Déco inspired interior design is all about the race track that surrounds the hotel - and G... More
