Unit 00

At the top of a building with an exposed brick façade, we designed our own home: an 80 m² penthouse conceived as an intimate manifesto of our way of understanding architecture and interior design.This penthouse, located in a town amid Valencia’s rice fields, is more than a home: it is the personal dwelling and manifesto of its own designers. A project where interior design becomes an intimate statement of values: the pursuit of the essential, honest materials, light as atmosphere, and the quiet balance between tradition and contemporaneity.

Chromatica

Intervening within the historic fabric of Padua requires a sophisticated mediation between the layers of memory and the desire for contemporary domesticity. This renovation project, developed over a surface area of 75 sqm, undertakes a distributive overhaul to maximize spatial usability, responding to the desires of an eclectic clientele—whose taste ranges from Pop vibrancy to refined retro suggestions. Caption The rewriting of the home finds its starting point in the definition of the horizontal plane. The choice of oak flooring laid in a Hungarian herringbone pattern is not incidental, but constitutes the generating matrix of the entire intervention: a strong and elegant geometric layout that, recovering the tradition of histo...

Sectilis

In the center of Treviso, the interior design of the Sectilis penthouse is configured as an exercise in spatial rewriting that works on the balance between the geometric rigor of fixed elements and the superficial treatment of finishes. The intervention, developed over an internal surface of 122 sqm, addresses two distinct compositional themes: the management of long wall curtains in the living area and the geometric resolution of a sleeping area with an irregular floor plan. The living area is conceived as a fluid continuum, unified on the ground by sand-colored cement resin flooring that acts as a neutral and bright horizontal plane. Set upon this base is the project's true organizing device: ash wood. Moving away from the logic of mass-... More

Operaprima

The interior design of this penthouse is defined through an investigation into the continuity of living, where matter is not intended as a simple covering, but as an architectural device capable of enhancing and ordering the space. The intervention explores the theme of the open plan, replacing traditional wall partitions with a system of functional backdrops. The goal is to create an environment where the boundary between different domestic functions is perceived as a fluid transition, orchestrated by the tectonics of fixed elements. The expressive lexicon is dominated by research into the potential of natural stone. Travertine becomes the generating element of the surfaces, explored through different processing logics that change its tac... More

Seville Penthouse

The flat is located in the Remedios neighbourhood in Seville. It is a penthouse with a large terrace that is definitely the main feature of the project.  The refurbishment of the dwelling seeks to recover the potential of the space and the natural light, as before the intervention the flat was dark and very partitioned. To achieve this, it was necessary to enhance the indoor-outdoor connection, placing the terrace at the centre of the operation. The predominantly daytime rooms (living room, dining room and kitchen) were unified along the main façade. In this way, the terrace is presented as a spatial and visual extension of the dining room and living room to the outside through two large wooden sliding doors. Angeles Molina... More

Villa "K"

On a beautiful, panoramic, steep plot next to the forest in Budapest a three-storey family house built in the nineties became obsolete.

In thirty years, these areas have been transformed, the value of real estate has multiplied, while the hillsides became overbuilt and confusing. Our aim was to merge the building into the nature with its dark colours and natural materials compensating the chaotic suburban cityscape.
