A glance over this place shows us a C-shaped space, which fits the proposed program. It is a small office dedicated to customer service. The rectangular floor plan, to which the communication core of the residential building in which it is located is subtracted, distributes the space in a large corridor attached to the dividing wall and two rooms.

For a rural location just outside Istebna in the Southern Polish Beskidy mountains, BLUEROOM has designed and delivered a Villa. The Client requested a unique destination for family get togethers, to receive and entertain guests, and to rent out as a holiday home. The design merges the progressive desires of the Client with traditional vernacular design regulations on a strongly sloping site. This generates a Villa with two faces.
The project brief required the provision of a working space and a sleeping area in a 10m2 room of a ground floor apartment at an “Altbau” building in Friedrichshain, Berlin.
The 3.40m height of the room allowed the sleeping area to be located at the top part, leaving the ground floor free for a generous workspace.
The clients wanted the staircase to the mezzanine to be comfortable and sturdy, but with a light appearance.
Ideally to be used also as a bookshelf for few books.

The house is located in the western area of the city of Córdoba, in an urban neighborhood that has large green areas, such as La Costanera del Río Suquía, the Botanical Garden, the Arroyo El Infiernillo, and several ravines.
In a minimum plot of 12.5m x 21m in front of Infiernillo, a 200m2 house was built for a family of young professionals.
The land had a natural slope of one meter ten (1.10m) descending towards the corner, given this characteristic it was decided to work on two levels, one yard (plus 1.50mts) and another access (plus 0.10mts). To give the projected level, the patio was filled with the material extracted from the excavation of the foundations.
Located at one of the oldest neighborhood in Salvador da Bahia, the project for this old abandoned building was presented to the architecture team as a challenge, not only by the historic point of view, but the need to conceive and establish a dialogue between the existing elements and those added to the space. Only 2km away from the Historic Center, the idea was to transform this existing building into a coffee shop.
Located in a dense hilly forest on a narrow peninsula of land, the Bioprocess Innovation Center responds to the rich topography as it weaves together building and landscape. The existing landforms are preserved and reinforced through terraced parking with a public path that steps down the hillside. The design organizes along the path and is comprised of a series of sliding tubes that float above the forest floor as they frame views into the landscape and connect the occupants with nature. The design fosters collaboration as the path transitions into a collaborative walkway inside with multiple types of gathering spaces.
To serve a rapidly growing area of the city, the Raleigh Parks and Recreation department partnered with Clark Nexsen design the new, health-focused Abbotts Creek Community Center. The healthy living themed facility houses a high bay gymnasium space with sup-porting classrooms, fitness spaces, and staff space. Complimentary outdoor athletic and fitness spaces are also included.

BLUEROOM proudly presents the sketch design for an Off-Grid Villa in the south of France.
The team researched the design potential for building a patio villa on a 1.000 m2 site, in a region in the south east of France. The Client requested a striking, contemporary design that blends into its natural context. A residence that can absorb changing needs in the future, such as extra children, in-living parents or in-living nurse. BLUEROOM welcomed this task as a balancing act between expressive and subtle design, to create a compact patio villa that facilitates both the interaction between its users, as well as the comfort of privacy when so desired.
Villa Banalia is both a renovation and an adaptation of an old industrial storage building.
Formerly used as an office next to a warehouse, this renovation project maximizes its ideal location, its spacious structural layout and its longitudinal orientation compared to the old warehouse now used as a small assembly plant, the building is transformed into Perfect residence for the new owner in terms of proximity to the workplace and a contemporary home.
This housing property sales center is in the new city of Nanjing. The old Nanyue Mountain is an exclusive villa district surrounded by richly natural landscape. The center situates at the east side of the property with three levels.
Working in concert with the conceptual lifestyle of residing within mountains and waters, the interior design stresses the importance of the seamless combination of space and God-made environment while echoing the strategic marketing orientation.
