The central theme of the project is playing with contrasts at different levels, being the main characteristic of the store the clash between the high-tech and low-tech. All the strategic decisions and material choices are made seeking a sophisticated balance between the roughness and the delicateness, the chaos and the order.
Fittings, shootings, casting PUFF is a film studio with three technically equipped & soundproofed rooms for these uses. The corridor, also used as a waiting space, runs along with the premises, from the reception -hidden behind a set of mirrors, controlling the access- up to the two-level production room.
A topography of dropped ceilings in navy-blue hides the installations (A/C, electrical,…) and adjusts the spatial proportions throughout the project. This visual & formal game, rendered in navy-blue cork, reduces the sound impact outside the film studios and enhances the acoustic comfort.
Designing a new studio space for a long established and leading environmental graphics firm meant creating a spatial experience that provided continuity with their work ethic and yet explored new inter-relationships that could foster creative thinking.
The design process began with a deep understanding of the rituals of the creative group; headed by Anthony Lopez. On an everyday level their zen-like approach towards a barefoot office, sharing a communal lunch, multiple spaces for informal reflection, outdoor pads for the all-pervasive phone calls, amongst others, shaped the spatial configuration. The need for larger gatherings such as their bi-weekly Forum and other office social events, also informed the design process.
Bureau for Visual Communication and Interior Design has created a further state-of-the-art Porsche Studio in Seoul, South Korea. Porsche Studio Cheongdam opened in one of the most exclusive districts in the Asian metropolis on June 18. After Porsche auf Sylt in Germany, it is the second Porsche Studio to be designed under Designliga’s retail concept. In addition to further refining the concept, interior design and furnishing system, the creative agency is responsible for the visual identity and architectural realization of Porsche Studio Cheongdam.
What path should automotive retail choose in our age of digital anonymity and shifting social values?
Filux Lab is the new art laboratory of the “International Festival of Lights Mexico – FILUX”. It works as an independent space destined to consolidate the “sense of artistic community”; it serves as a meeting point between artists, experts and the public.
Filux Lab’s international program is based on experimentation, production, promotion and exhibition of cultural projects which take light and cinema as their starting point. In this way, it establishes itself as a global reference from Mexico to the world.
Located in the city of Merida, Yucatan, the colonial house that contains Filux Lab represents a versatile space that works as a gallery, as a workshop and as a place of coexistence, camaraderie and research for artistic purposes.

“Vase House” is a dance studio. We hope it’s a place to teach and practice dancing, and an indoor “structure” that everyone could use, experience and get involved in through their body movements. Participants are encouraged to engage in body interaction. Hence, it is designed to be very soft with a small area. The notion of the circle is always implemented in the logic of the overall design. Through the combination of this basic shape, it naturally derives rooms with different functions, like lobby, dressing room, practice room, classroom, corridor, etc.
In order not to waste the area, the corridor and the leisure room are combined for mutual consideration, which brings about a more important function, that is, imitating the VIP private room in the classical theater with seats, short supporting walls, and windows. Multiple semicircles are connected in series on the plane to form a private corridor, which is convenient for “spectators” to sit in to have a rest, wait, and watch the “performance” in the dance studio at the same time.
This little office is situated at the same terrain as a house, in a small town in the middle of the pampas plain in Buenos Aires province, Argentine.
Funcionally we needed a work table an a library with a sitting place to read. As we had few metters to build the work was synthesized in a pure concrete prism. We pierced the facade with a floating volume which allows to generate a singular site without adding area.
The place is a suburb of Sendai city in Tohoku Japan. It is a roadside location along a national road. Connecting information and people is thought to be important about the new business. That’s why most shared offices are located in well-accessed areas to create a business community, in Tokyo. As a different approach, we have designed a shared office that moves objects and people, taking advantage of the characteristics of the building and the location. We thought about connecting with the share office function, leaving the warehouse function and the delivery yard function that the building originally had. Users have shared offices that can do everything from business start-up, production, and delivery of goods. The operation of the shared office is a logistics company in Sendai City and supports logistics operations that take into account even overseas expansion. It is a facility that aims to expand into the world from Sendai city in Tohoku Japan, a local city.
This Place is a digital design studio with locations in London, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Seattle. The design for their Seattle workplace in the Fremont neighborhood illustrates This Place’s core work approach, emphasizing collaborative, open and multifunctional spaces. The digital design studio is divided into three interconnected zones: a collective open workspace at the core that encourages focus, with semi-private project breakout spaces to encourage collaboration and multi-purpose social areas radiating from it and ringing the perimeter. A seamless adjacency between the three zones reflects This Place’s interest in cultivating an open-ended creative work environment.
This small block of Professional Studios is located on a tiny corner lot in La Paternal neighborhood. The urban situation for insertion is somewhat particular, as La Paternal is the typical sort of popular neighborhood, with a low scale, certainly neglected, bohemian, a soccer fan (the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium of Argentinos Junior soccer team, which is called “the World hotbed” by its supporters, and where Diego Armando Maradona started his football career, is just two blocks far from this building), with an interesting accessibility to different areas in the city and, since very few years ago, steadily growing and being renovated…
The morphology with which the corner was conformed emerges from the structural resolution, in the manner of juxtaposed and stacked concrete plaques by gross table generating full and empty spaces, with a kind of sculptural treatment, granting identity to the building, integrating it and “making a city”…
