Interiors & Design

Luxury restaurant as a stage

Studio Debonademeo designed the Contraste luxury restaurant in Milan, creating spaces that resemble theatrical stages, with different colour schemes for each zone.

Conversion for private use

Spacious floor plans instead of many small apartments: The interior of the house in Au in the Bregenzerwald has undergone major changes during the renovation by Firm Architekten. It has retained its typical regional appearance.

Luxury in the smallest of spaces

In Rotterdam, the two practices Star and Board have squeezed four rooms, including a whirlpool, into a 6.89 m² apartment.

A house within a house

The pharmaceutical company Roche Diagnostics has a new, vibrant meeting place for its employees: The project, called Herzzone (German for Heartzone), was designed by Studio Alexander Fehre.

Attractive working environment

The Berlin-based company Relaxound commissioned Ester Bruzkus Architekten to design a working environment that offers a variety of spatial scenarios and atmospheres.

A playful synthesis of the arts

Near Valencia, Ana Milena Hernández Palacios and Christophe Penasse of Masquespacio have transformed a house built in 1925 into an expressive living space and studio.

Live, relax, make music

Firm Architekten designed Haus LP in the winter sports resort of Schoppernau. The typical local timber construction also provides space for a rehearsal room where the client gives music lessons.

Prayer room with mountain views

At the foot of a mountain slope, the new church designed by architects Inuce can be seen from afar. The sacred building can seat 1000 people.

Forest of knowledge

Studio Hinge has designed a library under tree-like wooden columns at the Cricket Club of India in Mumbai.

Beneath the roofs of Madrid

In the centre of Madrid, Gon Architects have converted a small, low penthouse flat into a bright, open-plan space with sophisticated zoning.

Homage to architectural tradition

Skagen Klitgård House by PAX Architects unites three generations under one roof. The design of the holiday home is inspired by the local Danish architecture and history of the town.

A room with a view

Fashion in a central location

In Milan, OMA have designed a flagship store for fast-fashion brand Bershka that redefines the role of the store in the age of online retailing.

A family refuge

Hécourt has 300 inhabitants and is located in the Eure Valley just 80 km west of Paris. The village is the setting for Studio Guma‘s transformation of a farmhouse and two outbuildings into a second home for a family. The project was carried out with few structural interventions.  

Experimentation with space

In Geneva, Bureau have transformed a former dental practice into an experimental sequence of spaces that tests the possibilities of apartment design and functionality.
