HOSPITALITY DESIGN OF THE MONTH
NO. 3
In this bar concept, the interplay between sleek marble paneling for the bar counter, industrial concrete flooring, warm metallic accents, and plush upholstered seating creates a refined and inviting atmosphere. The soft glow of integrated lighting highlights the geometric shelving, enhancing the luxurious yet minimalist aesthetic. The use of lush greenery adds a natural touch, softening the structured lines and complementing the warm neutral tones. The result is a sophisticated and harmonious space where materials and textures work together seamlessly.

RETAIL DESIGN OF THE MONTH

A simple and elegant retail environment can reinforce the brand's image and identity. It communicates a sense of sophistication and attention to detail, aligning with the brand's values and appealing to its target audience. By experimenting with the color green, we convey serenity, creating a calming atmosphere that invites customers to engage with the brand on a deeper level

Every concept we develop serves as the foundation for designs that are both forward-thinking and deeply personal
RESIDENTIAL DESIGN OF THE MONTH
NO. 4
In this concept design study we showcased a stunning modern residence where an open-plan layout maximizes natural light through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. These windows seamlessly connect the interior with the lush outdoor landscape, creating a fluid transition between indoor and outdoor living.
LOBBY DESIGN
Corporate and residential lobby design in NYC
Our goal was to conceptualize a peaceful residential lobby with direct access to the elevator, using natural materials to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Rich wood paneling and built-in seating add comfort and texture, while polished Calacatta marble flooring enhances the space with its refined, reflective surface. Floor-to-ceiling glass draws in natural light and opens the space to the surrounding greenery, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the outdoors
CORPORATE DESIGN OF THE MONTH
NO. 6
This residential lobby embodies serene minimalism with a warm, welcoming touch. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with soft natural light, creating gentle shadows that shift throughout the day. A sculptural wooden reception desk serves as the focal point, offering a quiet elegance that complements the space’s calm atmosphere. Two rounded white lounge chairs provide cozy seating, their organic forms echoing the softness of home. A leafy indoor tree and a small potted plant add natural vibrancy, while polished concrete floors and vertical wood slat detailing bring texture and warmth. The overall effect is a tranquil, sophisticated entryway that feels both refined and inviting.
