Extended Cabin
How can architecture become performative and emerge as one of the main characters of the theatrical stage?Extended Cabin begins with the question of how an architectural work can be presented to a theatrical audience without reducing it to a fixed and static object. The narrative of the performance takes place within the space of a metro cabin. Accordingly, the project proposes that the representation of an architectural section on stage should no longer function merely as a static image of a space in the background of the performance, but instead become a dynamic process and the central subject of the work. Rather than being conceived as a final section, Extended Cabin is imagined as architecture becoming a section—a form of ar... More
Stage
Stage, the center of authenticityWorthy of the timelessness of ceramics, every detail of the Stage collection is meticulously captured through contemporary design and the lightness of wood colours.
This collection elaborated in porcelain stoneware and with a digital printing technique allows for a greater detail of the wood veins. Stage presents an effect that is typical of the natural essence of wood, which is perfectly captured through a completely smooth surface, what enhances an extremely soft and pleasant touch.
The colour palette is warm and with enveloping shades, typical of wood. Stage consists of four colours – Cream, Beige, Cherry and Brown – and two surface finishes: natural and honed.
By adding the honed finish, i... More

Ring Music Studio
A Living Space Designed Around Music
Initially conceived as a recording studio, the project evolved into a more comprehensive spatial program as architects reinterpreted its potential. Unlike a conventional recording studio, the design aimed to create a hybrid space that not only facilitates music production but also fosters social interaction and interdisciplinary engagement. With the architects' vision and the client’s support, the studio transformed into an organic platform centered around music, seamlessly integrating professional interactions, creativity, and social exchange. Beyond its function as a recording studio, Ring also holds the potential to serve as a hub for alternative cultural movements, providing a flexible environ... More

The Joyful Apocalypse
Bruges Triennial 2024: Curated by Shendy Gardin and Sevi Tsempala.
Once the epicentre of trade and a site for all kinds of gatherings, the medieval courtyard is nowadays more a passageway or waiting area for its many visitors.

With The Joyful Apocalypse, Traumnovelle enters into a dialogue with the courtyard and formulates a radically different alternative to the typical situation. Their installation exploits and reactivates the entire site and transforms it into a place of wonder and play. Visitors will recognise materials such as scaffolding and aluminium panels in the work, not to mention silver curtains. These follow the contours of the courtyard and reflect the 9-metre-high structure. The... More

Marquee & Avenue Nightclubs at the Marina
The concept from the very first meeting was to make the best nightclub in the world. The intent was to create a Nocturnal Carnival, a ‘playground for adults’. The blend of technology and design and the collection of different unique venues (both Marquee and Avenue in one location!), allow the space to morph over the night, and change from season to season, offering a truly unique experience every single visit. Marquee is set up as a series of follies on three different floors that the guests get to explore and discover.
There are multiple bars each with their own design twist, and while Marquee has the best table service in all of Asia, the space is playful for all guests with actual amusement rides guaranteeing a great... More

Cloud Tower – Open-air pavillon Grafenegg
The open-air stage adds a new accent to the historic palace park of Grafenegg. The stage roof unfolds as sculptural motif and rises up like the crown of a great tree between the existing treetops. The reflections in the metal surface create the feeling of a “cloud-capp’d tower”, the “Wolkenturm”. Based on the fundamental acoustic principles of “what you see you hear”, affinities are explored between perspective and acoustic space. Earthworks and embankments have created artificial hills, into which stage and auditorium merge smoothly in topographical relief. Ingenious planning of viewpoints and spatial sequences opens up a multi-stratified space. The “Wolkenturm” has the function of both stage and pavilion within the landscape garden.
