We are the slaves of our own visual, auditive or senzitive experiences.
We live an internal universe which determines us in the cultural perception. In Bucharest, we are characterized by the extraverted, vocal, filmic spirit. We like to have it all.To be exuberant, to live for the moment. The reward of instant pleasure fills our soul.

Beretta showroom was designed in a particular fashion that is a mixture of classic and industrial style. The Gallery, where premium hunting weapons are displayed, is designed in a more classical way, only the furniture and the lightning being modern. However, the rest of the showroom has a more industrial style with black metal furniture and high contrasts. The reception is the element that synthesizes best the entire showroom: a massive wood and black marble desk with an industrial tridimensional metal structure. The white elm sculpture gives an organic feel to the entire space and accentuates the purpose of the showroom: selling hunting weapons.
The whole project was meant to provide an intimate environment in a densely populated area relying on energy and resource efficient eco-design.

The building occupies one of the few remaining lots in an old neighborhood of historical and architectural value in the central area of Bucharest.
The space-structure gives the urban presence of the proposed building a weight that counterbalances the extent of the glazed surfaces, while the retraction of the central span and the asymmetry of the cornice are aimed at dividing the house into two volumes closer to the neighboring scale.
