Project • By Alta Idea Design StudioApartments

Vienna City_

On Gatterburggasse, a quiet street in Vienna, this apartment occupies a nineteenth-century building with the understated grandeur typical of the city’s historic architecture. Yet following renovation, many of the residences inside had become largely interchangeable: white walls, neutral finishes and little to distinguish one interior from the next. The brief here was not simply to furnish the space, but to restore a sense of identity. Every interior begins with the person who lives there. Before furniture, colour or decoration, there are habits, memories, rituals and the private details that shape daily life. This apartment became a reflection of its owner: a home designed less as a composition and more as a portrait. The client, a... More

Villa La Cicada

Perched above the port of L’Estaque, in the north of Marseille, Villa Lacicada sits on a hillside of white limestone overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Designed by Architecture Nature and led by Isabelle Berthet-Bondet, the project explores the dialogue between light, landscape and Mediterranean living. Built on a narrow sloping plot, the house integrates naturally into the terrain through a composition of white volumes cascading along the site’s topography. The architecture plays with shadow and brightness, creating a sequence of terraces that structure the domestic program and open the house toward a panoramic south-west view of the sea. Florent Joliot Florent Joliot The spatial organization unfolds across two main... More

Gremnos House

The Gremnos House project includes the reconstruction of an existing traditional cell (cell from the word keli in Greek) built before 1955, and the design of a main residence and an independent guesthouse, thoughtfully integrated into a rugged landscape characterized by striking geological formations. The site’s unique topography presented the greatest challenge, as the new structures needed to be placed on the limited flat areas between the rocks, preserving and highlighting the natural formations rather than altering them. Excavations were carried out with meticulous care to avoid disrupting the natural landscape. Vangelis Paterakis Vangelis Paterakis Vangelis Paterakis The main residence comprises two stone volumes...

P.H. Condesa

Located in the Condesa neighborhood, this apartment belongs to a young couple with an active social life who approached us with the request to reconfigure their social area. The initial assessment revealed a narrow, enclosed kitchen that disrupted the flow of the public space within the home. With the understanding that the kitchen often becomes the heart of gatherings and social events, we proposed a layout centered around a large table that serves both as a food preparation area and a communal hub. This move redefined the kitchen as an open, versatile, and welcoming space.

Also, it creates a healthy working environment which is much more natural and pleasing. This allows a conveni... More

Universal socket Covers

In 2010 designer Erik Boogerd discovered and invented the Universal poweroutletcover as a product model, also the trigger for starting the brand Suit'd Suits (meaning: 'Suited Covers') and the production company behind it (called 'Suited Products') later on.With the Universal poweroutletcovers, or Cover Models, we present a simple but effective method for making the standard and often yellowed plastic power outlets / sockets more appealing.How it works?
