The Nest House

Rather than designing around rooms, The Nest House was designed around routines. Every space responds to the daily rituals of a young family, transforming ordinary moments into intuitive experiences through thoughtful planning, hidden functionality and carefully considered design. From the very beginning, the project focused on understanding how the family lives, gathers and moves throughout the day. The result is a home that feels effortless to inhabit, where every element has a purpose while maintaining a calm, uncluttered atmosphere.

Residenza B05

Residenza B05 is an interior architecture project in which colour is used as a design tooland as a spatial organizing principle. The layout is structured around a central corridor,from which the rooms unfold through a sequence of thresholds and visual transitions thatdefine functions without relying on rigid partitions. The corridor, conceived as the connective spine of the apartment, becomes an inhabitable space in its own right. A large custom-built wardrobe integrates the laundry area, while a burgundy ceiling and softly rounded corners guide movement and ease circulation, transforming a passageway into a lived-in environment.

Villa Lujo

Villa Lujo is a celebration of balance — between the grandeur of neoclassical French architecture and the fluid ease of contemporary luxury. The core idea lies in translating classical symmetry and refinement into a light, sculptural form that breathes with movement. The central glass wave, both an art object and a metaphor, embodies this duality — tradition meeting innovation, stillness meeting flow. YODEZEEN YODEZEEN YODEZEEN YODEZEEN The palette blends timeless nobility with contemporary restraint. Fine marbles with soft veins — in ivory, sand, and pearl-gray tones — define the architectural rhythm. Polished brass and sculpted plaster details reference the classical heritage, while large glass... More
