The most elegant residential Barcelona, in the quiet area of Turó Park, treasures some jewels of interior design whose owners rarely open their doors. We look out as privileged observers to a house of generous dimensions, with a total of 260 square meters, by the hand of Alex March, author of its interior design.
The need of its owner was to give it a renewed air: “my client wanted to have another relationship with her space, an inspiring, timeless, elegant, cheerful, balanced home, with soul and character” explains Alex March who highlights the sensitivity for art of the owner: “she is in love with art and, in particular, with the works of the artist Iñaki Moreno”. In addition, in this project, the will to preserve, recover and rejuvenate the pre-existing elements of the house, located on a farm of the 20s, has been a priority.
This project is located on Antonio Ferrandis Street and is part of the P.P. Quatre Carreres. The location is especially privileged because it is located on the southern edge of the city, separating two radically opposite plots and scales, admiring the large expanse of orchard that extends to the Albufera Natural Park and with visual continuity to the sea.
The residents of the 260m² apartment, located in Campo Belo, São Paulo, had already lived in the apartment for some time and adapted it to their needs, until they decided to leave it as they had always dreamed of! To make the dream of the couple with three children come true, the interior designer Daniela Berland Cianciaruso, who runs the office Estudio Glik de Interiores, revised and brought a contemporary, fluid concept with touches of color to the property, leaving the new layout functional and with a lot of personality.
Project Beaumarchais takes place in a little alley, calm and vegetal, sheltered from the noisy neighborhood.
The former commercial unit has to be transformed into a loft. The existing space is defined by its structure, metallic ceiling and beams, cinder blocks on the walls, by its 3.85m under the ceiling and by its depth, with only one facade towards the exterior to bring light in.
This project is a private residence located in the links Golfcourse development in Thirteenth Beach, a small coastal town located along the Victorian Coastline.
Being located in a fairly ‘residential’ housing development, we responded to the clients brief by creating an inward focused, Courtyard house. Providing the residents with a sense of seclusion within a rapidly developing housing estate.
From the exterior, the house is clad in a black stained timber, creating a simple, solid form when viewed from the street.
What were the inspirations and key concepts for the development of the project?
As I am interested in Thai vernacular architecture that usually feature a wooden structure such as Thai house and barn. I would like to preserve local memory and culture by complementing each other functionally and environmentally. “Boonbun Pocket” is witness of a past era and living examples of specific constructive techniques, styles and materials from other time, especially a wooden structure.which the owner also has a passion for the reuse of wood material in building. Maintaining them is therefore essential in making local communities feel a sense of belonging and shared history, especially if the building is a meeting place in itself and a wide range of activities.
Tying together the old and the new, Picket House engages with its streetscape and surrounding heritage character. Subtle material transitions between the existing and the new acknowledges its contextual relationship.
Sited in a suburban context, the house’s corner site provokes a dialogue between its occupants and the surrounding community through the archetypal picket fence. Offering opportunities for social engagement between the layering of fence, façade, existing and alteration – the rhythm of the pickets establishes moments of exposure and concealment between the street and inner private gardens.
D&P named this interesting housing project π House because the whole house looks like from a distance Pi Archimedes constant in geometry. And the biggest inspiration to make the house is Pise Wall.
The design concept was inspired by the owner of the house – a French gentleman who has lived and worked in Vietnam for nearly 30 years. He has a deep love and a great passion for Vietnamese traditional art and culture.
The design for this residence focused on two essential principles: accessibility, so the clients could successfully age in place, and flexibility, allowing for ample spaces to accommodate their large, multi-generational family. Thus, the home’s layout includes an elevator, family suites, living and entertaining spaces, kitchen and dining spaces, an office, pool, spa and gardens. A material palette of stone, wood and bronze provides the backdrop for an international photography collection, which includes Atta Kim’s image of Fifth Avenue.
A minimalist design concept was chosen for this interior design project, with a focus on a monochromatic color palette and a limited range of textures. Calacatta marble was the dominant material used, with other materials chosen to complement its tones. In the common room, a natural stone wall with vertical linear carving serves to highlight the organic character of the material.
The common room is bordered on two sides by stained glass windows and offers a view of Vake Park. Within the monochromatic interior, the rays of the sun entering at different times add a distinct atmosphere to the space. To provide protection from the sun’s glare, gray blinds have been installed.
