At the foot of a hill and surrounded by lush vegetation Casa M is located at the center of an exclusive paradise in which everything was considered in order to enjoy to the most the wonders of nature.

The design was based on the client´s needs together with whom we elaborated the architectural programme in a 440 sq. m area. The main zone is formed by the dining & living room and a private space: the family room, where the most important daily activities of the family will take place. The overhanging box design is formed by two sides of black granite and the other two in glass, separating the primary spaces and giving privacy to the family room, as well as the necessary transparency to benefit from the apartments natural light. The box has indirect lighting on top and bottom becoming a grand central lamp.
The Greeks, as well as the Etruscans and the Romans used compluvium in aristocratic dwellings to lead rainwater to the impluvium. This opening, which was made in the center of the domus, was initially used to vent the smoke from the fires made in the homes. Over time, this aperture kept growing in proportion favoring the lighting, the ventilation of the rooms and the collection of water that was carried out in the impluvium.

The project of the apartments in Moscow for a young couple. The main objective of the project was to unite three separate apartments into a single functional space.

The color range is monochrome – white, grey, black, plus the natural color of wood and bright accents of furniture and textiles.
