The facade of this house has the shape of a keyhole.
A key to open “my house”, which is standing along a narrow street of a crowded town, is designed as a key itself on the façade of this house. A house can be called a key, which will open up your life happily. Such a small key, this house is a key!
Our concept for the Neil Barrett flagship store in Tokyo is based on the minimal cut of the brand`s fashion design and parallels its approach in using the same design parameters of fixed points, folding, pleating and cut outs. Rather than defining a single room or space, our design creates a circular passage allowing the customer to experience the space in multiple ways and interpretations. Furniture staged in key points throughout the store creates the spatial concept of a narrow enclosure changing to an open condition. In two formal elements the design shifts between architecture and sculpture, where a compact mass of surface layers unravel and fold to form the shelving display and seating. The emerging folds will be used as display area for the NB accessory collection.
This project is a two-storey school center that arises as a rehabilitation of a pre-existing structure, which is expanded in order to meet the needs and programmatic space, with the addition of three volumes.
In a land consolidated by history, as is Tuscany, if you want to express originality that isn’t trivial or, worse still, elegantly empty, it’s better to surrender immediately and identify past themes that can accompany us into the future. Fabio Capanni Workshop has been pursuing this path for some time. The redesign of the basement of the old convent of Sant’Agostino has been the chance to have a direct confrontation with history.

URBAN STRATEGY
The proposal for the new kindergarten and multipurpose hall provides to rearrange the lot in question via a solution that has its strength in simplicity, bridging the gap to the free sides of the area: the volume of the school is supported throughout via Nola, while the cube-shaped multipurpose hall marks the public entrance into via Ferri. In this way the volumes effectively reply both to its urban intensity, as public buildings in connection with the city, and to its function of prodrome respect to the internal vacuum. The volume of the school follows the type of its urban surroundings: set back from the road edge for the access and oriented along north-south axis to support the development of the future green line that will go from here till the lake of Lugano. The multipurpose hall chairs the empty neighborhood public gardens by adding to its collective function the one of gate of the park.
