Breaking the uniform cuboid emphasizes a different function for the ground floor compared to the first and second floors. Additionally, these two volumes are distinguished by the finish of the facades.

ATTICO MP

Renovation on the top floor of a residence overlooking the Marche hills. On the west side, where there was a large balcony, two large windows were opened to enjoy the view. By "emptying" the attic, the living-dining area was enhanced by enriching it with the installation of a modern fireplace carved into the wall; a row of storage units between the living and sleeping areas simulates a real spine, which is the origin of the interior distribution. Simone Tommasini Simone Tommasini Simone Tommasini Simone Tommasini The resin floor blends in with the outdoor floor of the long balcony in a draining version. A 6kw photovoltaic system powered by heat pump and induction cooktop complete the intervention. Simone Tommasini... More

This goes back to another foundation of the startup: transparency. &ldqu... More

Yuliawave store

INTRO The concept of the store is based on natural, monochrome materials that complement each other and are responsible for the bold character of the brand. One of the inspirations was the concrete walls, which we cleaned of paint, showing the aesthetics of concrete and building structures. The lack of a large number of familiar finishing materials on the market has become a challenge for us. The initial idea of using non-finish coatings and showing the "nature" of building materials has made sense. Daniel Annenkov Planning solution The planning solution is built on two halls:main and private. They are separated from each other by a multifunctional core, which comfortably accommodates fitting rooms, an open warehouse area, a manager'... More

Private house in Paros

The property is located in close proximity to the sea, but due to the nature of its topography, there is no direct view of it. The area has low grass and shrub vegetation and no existing natural protection from the sun.

Caption The house is completely sunken into the ground and consists of 13 modules with a square-shaped plan that are combined in different ways to create a spatial organization. The modules are divided into residential units and patio units with the basic principle being that each residential unit has at least one adjacent patio. Th... More
