Attitude on St-Denis is a retail boutique in Montreal that specializes in plastic-free beauty products. From the moment you step inside, the design of the space reflects their commitment to sustainability and a connection to nature.
The lush planter beds filled with a mix of moss, rocks and branches are strategically placed throughout the store to mimic a journey through nature on a boardwalk creating a natural and serene environment. The use of natural materials such as granite, lime plaster, and white oak gives a tactile and earthy feel to the space.
Located across from Seattle’s popular Ballard Locks where Lake Union meets the Puget Sound Pagliacci Pizza’s newest location honors the legacy of a historic structure while demonstrating an appropriate path forward for future use. The original design is a heavy timber replica of a six-beam Haida house a traditional style of building by the Haida Tribe which opened in 1939 as a Native American curio shop before serving as a restaurant space starting in 1945. Today, the building has been thoughtfully reimagined for Seattle’s beloved pizza chain by the talented team at Floisand Studio Architects.
The client approached us with the willingness to design a jewellery boutique at one of the prime locations in Ahmedabad, named CG Road. This 1500 sq. ft. carpet area boutique store is designed to be serene, with neutral white walls and minimal texture added by veneering furniture.
The main aim of the design was to amalgamate creativity, functionality, and practicality to provide a completely immersive experience to the client and the customers. It was to be kept in mind that the design should not only be trendy and refreshing but also maintain a certain degree of the classic timelessness the brand stood for.
Electric Pawn Shop takes birth as an F&B bar in the back of the H-Hotel, reading the traces of the restaurant that was once there. It projects to the inside the movement, light and speed of the cars on the second of November bridge, generating a theatrical play of reflections.
The project takes its inspiration from the 70’s Chinatown of New York replicating its dark and dystopian vibe whilst staying true to the essence of UAE’s culture. Consequently, the metropolitan environment shaping the bar is characterized by an after-dark dining feel, retro chairs, and red neon interiors where good music and exotic cuisine could merge to create a holistic sensory experience. We envisioned creating a new nightlife atmosphere unfolding a new generation of Asian bars through a venue that fuses counter culture and underground music. The limitations and possibilities of the tenant space were something we took into consideration, as we looked deep into its left-over textures.
The building brings together the three brands of the company Manifattura Valcismon S.p.A. – Sportful, Castelli, Karpos – in a single commercial space of 1,500 square meters of covered area located a few steps from the group’s historical headquarters.
The building is spread over an area of 8,700 square meters on a single above-ground level with an irregularly shaped floor plan, where a secondary volume is grafted to the main building. The main volume is articulated in six irregular pitches with different slopes and inclinations intended to recall the skyline of the surrounding pre-Alpine peaks while the secondary volume, of more modest impact, is concluded by a flat roof.

Although Karlín started out as an industrial district of Prague, it has transformed dramatically during the last few decades. In the everyday life of the wider Prague city center it plays a part determined largely by this ongoing transformation. Considering all the requirements of modern living, Karlín has become popular for housing, work and leisure.
For the new Fragment Apartments we have come up with a unique and visually strong architecture, which is responsive to the context, both past and future. In addition to formal and functional aspects, a natural connection to the surrounding public space is what extends the building out, makes it more accessible and completes it visually and functionally. A monumental David Černý sculpture is an integral part of the program, resulting from artistic collaboration on the project from the very beginning.
Designing building at small corner plot in the vicinity of the existing housing development was a real challenge for us. In the context of business, its great advantage are good exposure to the surroundings and close proximity to a very popular leisure resort, which is located at Lake Paprocany in Tychy.
When a legacy jeweller brand from Hyderabad approached groupDCA to design their flagship jewellery store in the city– the vision and values of the brand were to be the touchstones for the project. Tibarumal Gupta launched his jewellery brand in 1920 crafting lavish and exquisite jewellery that came to adorn the city’s elite including the then Nizam of Hyderabad. Taking this legacy forward, today the brand strives to represent its core values of creativity, beauty and authenticity through traditional yet contemporary handcrafted jewellery.
We barely had time to take a picture before February 24 and the war in Ukraine came.
The gelateria had been open in Odessa for a couple of weeks and it was closed and the windows were boarded up. We didn’t know for a long time if it would ever reopen.
“ТАЮ” translates from Ukrainian as “I’m melting,” and the menu only includes ice cream and juices.
We were looking for a simple solution, simple materials, and one clear idea that would create and unite the whole interior.
For the design of this matcharia, we sought to escape the traditional, with minimalist references that were translated into the organic forms that constitute the concept of the project. The base of light tones was used in order to bring a greater breath to the space and serve as a blank canvas to work on the green that is the brand’s signature at some points within the project.
