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.
As a compact city, Hanoi is in the process of strong construction. Along with that process, thousands of high-rise skyscrapers are rising that result in the development of the working environment.

Located on the second and third floors of the Carhartt Detroit flagship store at 5800 Cass Avenue, the Carhartt Workshop is a collaborative community space conceived as part of the 132-year-old apparel company’s ongoing efforts to support and serve the hardworking and skilled tradespeople of its Detroit hometown. Detroit-based McIntosh Poris Associates developed the design of the Workshop, which was directly informed by Carhartt’s core principles of integrity, perseverance, and hard work.

Central to Judith Neilson’s vision for the JNIJI is the concept of understanding history and influencing the future of society through independent, investigative journalism and the discussion of ideas.
These JNIJI objectives align to the conservation, restoration or adaptation of two heritage listed buildings and the addition of a new element.
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.
Largely untouched since it’s construction in the 1970s, a complete redistribution of this Barcelona penthouse was undertaken in order to adapt to a contemporary open plan lifestyle. The project’s design responds to a modernized approach to an overall classic building and the will to preserve its inherited elegance, altogether aligned to the clients’ preferences. Superfluous partitions were removed, connecting all day areas into a large fluid space thus avoiding corridors. Special attention was given to the custom designed pivot elements that organize the open plan into different settings. A granite high bar countertop, three extra-large marble center tables and a hovering fireplace create a sequence of interrelated atmospheres. Each of them was conceived as a strong monolithic element that calls for a spontaneous floating circulation around it. In this way, the former fireplace was detached from the wall becoming a singular free-standing piece.
A room overlooking the town square, that’s totally redesigned by the creative studio Visual Display [interior, identity, stories] to transform the previous tavern into the new entrance of the 2 Michelin stars restaurant “Agli Amici 1887” in Udine.
The space turns into a place to enjoy a welcome aperitif, fully becoming part of the proposed gastronomic experience, indeed anticipating it. The concept was therefore born with the idea of making this space – which is in fact the customer’s first approach to the kitchen and the philosophy of chef Emanuele Scarello – a place suspended in time, silent, surprising, and representative of the very essence of the restaurant.
Three elements the rectangle, the circle, and the triangle creates a sculptural composition in a two-floor apartment. 120 square meters are divided into two floors.

The main bathroom has a romantic bathtub situated just under the roof window, while other areas (WC and shower) are hidden in two separate dark zones.
In August 2013 the City of Amsterdam gave the go-ahead for the redevelopment of an old store room under one of their offices on Jodenbreestraat in Amsterdam into a multifunctional plaza. This plan is part of the new flexible housing concept for their offices, which can be densified through realization of such plazas. CUBE is, after a closed competition, asked to develop this 530 m2 plaza. According to the City of Amsterdam it had to become an attractive area with an extraordinary appearance.
