At the center of their new office is a House archetype, which serves as both an everyday meeting space and a separate office booth. This oversized architectural model is waiting to be transformed into a real-life house, and it embodies their commitment to creating spaces that are both functional and beautiful.

Surrounding the house is a carefully curated mix of different areas that support their work and inspire their creativity. The material area showcases a range of textures, finishes, and colors that they incorporate into their designs. The office desk area provides a dedicated workspace for their team members, while the front lobby is a welcoming space for clients and visitors as it features a heart-shaped light that serves as a symbol of their commitment to creating houses with heart.

Moving towards the back of their office, you will find Circe’s office, which is designed as a black thinking box. This space is where the core of their business takes place, as they collaborate with clients to create bespoke house designs that meet their unique needs and desires. The floating picture frames, the coloured light, the blue skies with crafted clouds and the millimetric mirror are meant to inspire creativity and imagination, reminding them that the possibilities for designing truly exceptional spaces are endless.

Overall, their new office space is designed to embody their passion for architecture while also providing their team with the tools and environment needed to excel in our work. They believe that by creating houses with heart and using a variety of different materials, they can help their clients find happiness and joy in the spaces they call home.

Studio Sisu is designed to address the physical limitations and isolation of an industry fractured by small studio business models. It brings together complimentary businesses to create opportunities for discussion and interaction amongst peers. Encouraging creative collaboration of ideas and skills creates an environment otherwise inaccessible to small businesses or individual practitioners.

Using a mixture of high and low cost materials, furniture and fittings has allowed the design to create a highly crafted and unique environment within the specified budget. The inclusion of refurbished antique furniture and fittings allows the new building work to sit comfortably alongside the existing factory structure.

 For this corporate project, developed on 250 m², Schuchovski Arquitetura transformed a broad atmosphere – intended for only two partners and five employees – in a truly warm and welcoming space. The use of wood, the choice of powerful works of art and exemplaries of design furniture (such as Vitra armchairs and Tom Dixon lighting) collaborate in creating such an atmosphere. The project is also characterized by a clean and pure concept, in the essence of minimalism, yet extremely refined with the use of marble and metals.

Located in Canberra, the joint venture between LDK Healthcare and Cromwell Property and delivered by FDC Construction and Fitout breathes new life into five buildings, each with two wings, previously occupied by the Federal Government Department of Social Services. As much an exercise in human-centred design as it is a case for adaptive reuse, Gray Puksand’s design champions a resounding connection between place, community and care, while empowering residents with a deserved sense of freedom and dignity that goes unparalleled in the aged care and retirement living sectors. The central philosophy aims to provide a better quality of life for seniors in an environment that provides a sense of wellbeing and homeliness with an approach that responds to the core values of love, decency and kindness (Published wit Bowerbird).

Square Feet Studio‘s biggest challenge was working with the small but very tall footprint and accommodating their client’s desire to have more seating than their first brewery. So they designed a mezzanine that allows the beer-making process to be viewed from different vantage points, each offering its own particular experience. Structure for the upper level was carefully coordinated in and around the brewery’s production area to maximize functionality and safety. Each seating area allows for different vignettes and moods, all with little moments of discovery. To complement Three Tavern’s well-loved interpretation of traditional Belgian-style beers, designers embraced a feeling of mystery and curiosity surrounding their intriguing new flavor profiles debuting at this location (Published with Bowerbird).

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a German literary luminary of the 18th and 19th centuries, also appreciated the institution’s very special nature, since even back then the Red Eagle menu featured an outstanding selection of delicacies. Today, the restaurant still hosts the longest-standing regular meeting of patrons anywhere in South Tyrol, with guests gathering to debate and discuss current topics.

Artist, host city personality, life artist, original, jack of all trades: This is Karl Kamaun. A young team of architects and designers, noa* (network of architecture), designed the new dining area of the traditional “Vögele” restaurant in the middle of the historic center of Bolzano.The redesigned “Kamaun Stube” aims to become an inspiring tribute to Karl Kamaun. Two opposing walls, one with a ceiling high self-portrait, the other with an ancient photograph showing the artist at work, evolve within a special dialogue that aims to define the new atmosphere.
