“To help a child, we must provide them with an environment that allows them to develop freely” – Maria Montessori.
Taking this phrase as a design premise, we needed to serve the client in a specific way, thinking like children. Firstly it would be necessary to choose colors that could suit the children, taking into account the importance of primary colors.

The idea of renovating the 1917 townhouse and make it Hype Studio’s new headquarters came in the end of 2015. It seemed like the perfect place to put into practice the concepts we believe and pursue in our work.

A couple with two grown up sons approached us having a generous site with an almost 360° view and the idea of building a modern and cozy house. The house needed to be a good place to entertain guests and friends and at the same time maintain the panorama created by the garden. Thus, the house was built with fluid spaces, with generous lighting and crossed ventilation, that could be easily integrated or isolated to be used together or independently changing integration and privacy as needed.
