The word elysium in Greek mythology meant the island of the blissful – a place on the western edge of the earth where the gods can transfer their favorites alive, immortal heroes living there in constant spring and without worries.
When designing the spa in the middle of the historical center of Bratislava, we came out from the need to break free from the daily cycle and calm down. This space is a meditative hiding place from the outside world. We build the concept of an urban spa on the perceptions of space as a temple for the body. The reference is the historical public baths Grössling, which are located nearby and provided visitors with the purifying procedures of body and soul.
Feeling at home, while embodying the unique corporate identity of international consulting firm, Accuracy: this is the challenge that L’Abri took up by designing refined workspaces that rhyme with conviviality.

This is an interior design for a boutique in Kusatsu, Shiga, that sells clothing, kitchen, and household items, focusing mainly on apparel.
Inspired by the items that the shop sells, we sought to construct a space based on the abstract theme of whether it would be possible to visualize a peaceful atmosphere.
We derived various usable dimensions from the existing frame structure and the buried and hidden facilities, derived a uniform grid of marble tiles that would be the base, and generated volume using compositional rules to give a sense of tension.
We then added finely textured materials and natural and artificial light to compose a space where tension and softness coexist.
The client approached us to design their main office in a new space they had purchased to fulfill their growing needs. At our disposal was a tight commercial space and overwhelming spatial requirements. So our initial thought process started by segregating their functional requirements and defining a smooth circulation between various departments. The visitor and back end staff movements were defined and spaces were assigned accordingly.
Petroleum is a project for the reconstruction and modernization of Ins Petrol office building. The concept of the project is inspired by petroleum, its aesthetic qualities and wide use as a production raw material. Petroleum is an architectural story about oil and its fluid, dynamic, living aesthetics, metaphorically transformed into bespoke furniture, literally used in the structure of the selected materials.
The interior design of the restaurant is a special subject in the field of interior design. The personalization of these premises depends on several factors such as: location, kitchen and target audience. In the case of Blue River restaurant, the inspiration came from the view that opens behind the window.
Located on the bank of the Dniester River, the restaurant borrows the colour range and decorative elements of the interior from nature. The panoramic windows contribute to an ideal fusion with the entourage. To add to this feeling, we personalized individual elements of the interior as much as possible. The colours of the finishing materials are strongly related to the natural framework. We opted for calm hues levitating between sand-coloured grey and brown, but which emanate elegance. The colours of the furniture represent a mix of beige, grey and turquoise. The neutrality of the colours is heated by the structure of the wood.
The Serra da Estrela Restaurant underwent a remodeling intervention to adapt it according to the brand concept of this famous chain of restaurants, known for its characteristic dishes of the gastronomy of the mountainous regions in the interior of Portugal.
When we originally designed this building, it was located on a long, narrow lot that overlooked Sagredo Street in the San José Insurgentes neighborhood on the short side. The project became complex in addition to its shape because the owner wanted it to house more cars than required by the regulations, shortly after they acquired a plot of land on José María Velazco street which adjoined the existing one at the back and formed an “L” shaped property, which again complicated the project since he wanted the parking to be solved with ramps and not car lifts as in the previous project, this merger changed the project again and plants were achieved that could be divided into four offices per level.
The Cookillage Apartment was designed by the Studio Insayn Design Society based on the open concept inspired by the landscape and atmosphere of the beach, in order to promote the daylight into the spaces and the fresh feeling of the sea.
This project was created for a young and very special client and her baby on the way, excited to have her apartment adapted to her needs and those of her baby too. Cookillage was designed according to her personality discovered after some meetings together and filled questionnaires.
Equador 804 Apartment is a renovation project located in Cascais, covering approximately 33m2, aimed at income generation through short-term rental.
The proposed functional program included a kitchen and a bedroom, in open-space format, a bathroom, and also the use of the outdoor balcony as a living space. As this is a relatively small area, the first step of the intervention involved in the elimination of all non-structural elements and walls, except those configuring the existing kitchen and bathroom, releasing the entire spaciousness of the apartment.
