The energy efficiency, the type of material, but also the source of the materials, their recyclability, their insulation … and also the quality of the working spaces, the quality of light, the conscious use of water.

The challenge of the concept was to communicate a successful meeting beetween an international style and Italian way of life. Our project has focused on some Italian excellences. Italy is well known for industrial design. So we were inspired by the best of Italian production: furniture, lighting, etc..

But it is very well known the concept of Italian masonry , italian experience in the dough, italian fine craftsmanship. So we decided to design a straight line, a great wall that links between two floors.  Image Courtesy © Luc Boegly This wall was total covered with handmade Venetian plaster. A third element was the decoration of the rooms: it is performed with projects aimed with Autodesk software, but they show projects and drawings by the most famous Italian designers.

Another important element in the color are the maintaining of original floors, which cover a large surface area of the project. A third idea was idea was to create a contrast with the environment through the green color chosen for the wall.  Image Courtesy © Luc Boegly Original Details. Some workbenches were made in cement. This suggested to us the idea of including the ancient tools for technical drawing, as valuable evidence of the design history. We brought these ancient tools to the technological elements such as the choice of plants to view or sliding glass doors.
