Moschino is opening a new flagship store in the heart of the French capital on rue Saint-Honoré. Creative Director Jeremy Scott wanted to transform the magnificent late-18th-century building in pierre de Paris into an exhibit-like space inspired by modern art galleries.
The new store concept, which was conceived and curated by architect Fabio Ferrillo in respect of the original essence of the interior, covers 270 square meters divided on two levels between the ground and first floors, which are visually connected through a two-story space and imposing curved staircase that becomes the focus of the architectural perspective.
The owners of an old high-ceilinged typical parisian style workshop asked FREAKS to design a ponctual living space that could evolve according to their different activities allthrough the day.
We proposed to work on the night part as a mezzanine on top of the bathroom and kitchen located in the back of the volume, taking advantage of the height.
In the foreground, a large monolithic and sculptural mobile cupboard includes shelves and a folding table and organizes the space in many configurations depending on where it is positioned.
“La tournette” is the name given in french to the rotating stage used for theater or opera that allows to quickly change the scenery while eventually participating in the staging itself.
This renovation and transformation of a Parisian top-floor apartment is surrounded by the magnificent Bois de Boulogne and the Jardin du Ranelagh, with 360-degree views of the city’s historic monuments, from the Tour Eiffel to La Défense, Les Invalides, and Longchamp. Originally split between two floors and fragmented by countless rooms, bathrooms, walk-in closets, kitchens and service rooms, the apartment, abandoned for over thirty years, is now undergoing a total makeover to become a light-flooded penthouse surrounded by vegetation and reinterpreted as an ‘eye on the city’.
This project for two 200-seat lecture theatres and a series of teaching spaces provided the opportunity to effectively transform a courtyard at the centre of a city block. The project reveals the site’s urban potential for its users, neighbours, visitors or passers-by, and responds to a need for simplicity and coherence, with a mix of functional logic and aesthetics.
The heart of the block at 143 Avenue de Versailles in western Paris’s smart 16th arrondissement belongs to the Université Paris Descartes. Its formerly cluttered appearance was due to the number of buildings and structures that had accumulated above the one-storey car park that filled the whole courtyard. The key to the space’s transformation was to make it functional and to enhance it.
The design for the Terminal 7 club in Paris was developed by Estudio Guto Requena as a digital dreamlike environment—an invitation for people to leave their concerns outside and give way to dream and escapism.
To do this we created a grand interactive sculpture that occupies the entire dance floor. It was inspired by the idea of planting five seeds that grow into five large trees that join their branches overhead. The structure was designed using parametric modeling (computer generated form) that simulates the growth of trees. The result is a rhizomatic grid that shelters visitors within. This metallic grid is illuminated with the endless combinations of colors and optical effect of LED lights allowing flexibility of use that transforms the space according to different needs.
Through a tailor-made project in which taste and design unite and a passion for beauty and goodness, AMlab reinterprets and concretizes the vision of Philippe Alléosse, according to the New York Times, one of the three best Fromageur Affineur of the world.
The result is an atypical shop, with a strong character in which the exposure of cheeses comes out of the common by highlighting the value of the refining process.
The concept has two distinct characteristics: the point-of-sale exhibition that reflects the outward-looking offer and the staging of the cheese that is presented as a jewel. The architectural lines of the project, characterized by a vault reminiscent of the maturing cellar, give a greater vision of the space.
The complexity of the site called first of all for a detailed constructability review. All constraints were modelled on the current PLU (plan local d’urbanisme – local urban development plan) – building heights, street alignments, distances from buildings on neighbouring plots – in order to obtain the greatest possible constructible volume. From this potential form, an initial model was developed, enabling us to define the various design options possible under the current regulations, as well as possible adaptations that could be envisaged in the event of the PLU being revised.
This one-room flat is located in one of the oldest part of Paris, in a mid-seventeenth century mansion townhouse. Connected to the groundfloor of the yard, what were the former stables became the kitchen of the master flat above. Then, it of was abandoned during 70 years, until 2013, when detached and sold apart. Anne Rolland’s Studio undertook in 2015 to refurbish it as a cosy one room flat.
The project that RATP has entrusted to us consists of the realization of 2 housing buildings imbricated with a bus center.
In a specific and referenced work based on emblematic Parisian operations such as the building of the Atlas passage designed by Eugène Beaudoin and Marcel Lods or the one by Henri Sauvage located rue Vavin, the first building of our operation, implanted rue du Père Corentin, presents a stepped facade combined with terraces to solve the wide gap existing between the buildings that surround it : a R+2 Mansart-type pavilion and a R+12 building resulting from the modernity implanted freely in disregard of any alignment. This work of graduation also emanates from a desire to open this very narrow street to the sun, to the sky, and to desaturate the noise of the street by avoiding the bottleneck of 2 facades strictly in vis-a-vis. Thus, every dwelling offers a possibility to plant on the entirety of the linear of its facade and contributes to the realization of a future suspended oblique garden in the perspective of the street.
The Atelier Zündel Cristea just delivered the “Hôtel d’entreprises Binet” in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. Located in an area rapidly regenerating economically and socially, this project was created to provide technical support to young companies in the process of maturing, with open space floors for co-working and floors designed for a range of uses.
