WHAT WE DO
1. ARCHITECTURE
-
We develop architectural and interior projects for residences, workplaces, retail and hospitality, alongside exhibition design.
Our work follows the entire process, from the initial concept and spatial organization to detailed design, construction coordination and final implementation. Each project begins with a careful reading of the place, the existing conditions and the needs of the people who will use it.
A central concept guides layout, movement, scale, light and material choices. It is carried through plans, sections, construction details and interior elements, providing a consistent direction as the project develops. The work includes material and color palettes, lighting proposals, custom furniture and the selection of furnishings and equipment. Technical decisions and aesthetic choices are developed together, with attention to function, budget and the practical requirements of construction.
We coordinate with engineers, specialist consultants, craftspeople, manufacturers and contractors, connecting the design to its execution. Our involvement extends to specifications, procurement and site coordination, following construction and installation through to completion. Throughout this process, we carry the original concept into the decisions that shape the finished space, maintaining a clear relationship between intention, detail and everyday use.
2. CMF & SENSORIAL RESEARCH
-
Rooted in architecture, our research into color, materials and finishes (CMF) and sensorial design examines how material composition, texture, color and light influence perception, atmosphere and emotion. This work extends our practice into the development of material concepts, objects and spatial installations, while informing the way we approach architectural and interior projects.
Each study begins with a central concept that gives direction & meaning to the choices that follow. Alongside aesthetic exploration, we consider the ethical values a proposal expresses and the relationship it establishes between people, materials and place.
The process combines material experimentation, color studies, visual research, photography and composition. Synesthesia, rhythm, memory and cultural references can serve as working tools, allowing sensations and ideas to be translated into patterns, surfaces, material palettes and spatial propositions.
Research can lead to new CMF directions, experimental surfaces, objects and concepts for installations. Art direction helps develop and communicate these investigations through material compositions and images.
