Highsnobiety’s “The Shell,” designed by VAUST Studio, emerges from a blend of diverse creative visions, functional requirements, and spatial dynamics. This space transcends traditional retail, evolving into a dynamic platform for layered and ever-changing storytelling.

A Spatial Narrative

“The Shell” serves as a spatial narrative, moving beyond conventional shop design. It reflects tales of honesty, authenticity, and Berlin’s raw essence, embodying Highsnobiety’s contemporary flagship vision. The space is vibrant and dynamic, constantly evolving to feature cutting-edge brand installations. More than just a display and sales area, “The Shell” interacts with visitors, sharing unique stories.

Four-Layer Design Approach

VAUST Studio’s interior design unfolds in four distinct layers:

  1. First Layer: This layer preserves the rough surface of the building’s skeleton, enhanced with detailed artistic finishes.
  2. Second Layer: Permanent installations are integrated into the first layer, showcasing Highsnobiety’s core collections and accessories.
  3. Third Layer: Artistic spatial interventions serve as functional retail furniture, defining Highsnobiety Space’s visual aesthetic and language, blending with a generic “under construction” feel.
  4. Fourth Layer: Aligning with the third layer, this layer offers brand partnerships the freedom to create visually striking temporary setups within the Highsnobiety Cosmos.

Contrasting Themes

The design contrasts old and new luxury, exploring themes such as roughness vs. sleekness and heritage vs. modernity. Industrial materials are repurposed for a contemporary luxury context while preserving the building’s history. Existing architectural elements remain intact, creating a dialogue between past and present.

Blending Classical and Contemporary

Furniture pieces blend classical aesthetics with contemporary materials, resulting in captivating architectural elements. For instance, classical column moldings are applied to industrial styrofoam, creating an unexpected contrast. The design preserves the heritage of the existing architecture, paying homage to Berlin through floors, walls, and raw brick columns.

Captivating Atmosphere

The space features a sanded concrete floor, warm grey sprayed ceiling, and rough columns and walls that tell the building’s story. These are contrasted by sleek interventions, such as stainless steel shelves embedded in the walls. An ERCO lighting concept enhances the atmosphere, while the checkout area juxtaposes contemporary materials like wired glass, polystyrene, and stainless steel. A stainless steel paravent with wired glass and mirrors conceals changing rooms, adding a touch of voyeurism with wired glass partitions.

The result is a captivating and dynamic space that not only reflects Highsnobiety’s refined vision but also engages visitors in an ever-evolving narrative.

In the bustling city of Coimbatore, a serene haven of architectural brilliance emerges. The Hacienda, designed by Jasem Pirani and Huzefa Rangwala of MuseLAB, combines traditional Spanish hacienda elements with modern design principles. This project, MuseLAB’s most ambitious and largest to date, adheres to the ancient principles of Manaiyadi Shastram, native to Southern India, dictating specific sizes and layouts.

Integrating Tradition with Modern Design

Situated on a sprawling 39,400 square foot plot, the design contextualizes the home within Coimbatore’s geographical setting. Featuring charming courtyards, lofty arched openings, sloping roofs, and seamless indoor-outdoor spaces, the design pays homage to both Spanish and Chettinad architectural traditions. The 12,000-square-foot residence centers around a courtyard, connecting social areas on the ground floor, including an open-air pool, lounge, dining space, and family room, all set within meticulously landscaped surroundings.

Dynamic Spatial Interplay

The design emphasizes dynamic spatial interactions and thoughtful gestures. Jasem Pirani explains that the project focuses on showcasing the floor, forms (such as vaults), and selected elements within each space. Collaboration with local artists and craftsmen enriches the design, highlighting the creative use of light and space. The swimming pool, a 75-foot-long vault adorned with black and white mosaic tiles, stands out as MuseLAB’s most daring project.

Embracing Horizontality and Natural Landscape

The layout embraces horizontality, enhancing the natural landscape and creating a unique indoor-outdoor experience for its occupants. While inspired by hacienda design, the home also honors Chettinad vernacular architecture, evident in its central courtyard. Sunlight filters through skylights, creating an evolving visual experience as it bounces off the walls and floors.

Crafting Meaningful Gestures and Moments

MuseLAB’s design philosophy transcends mere visual style, focusing instead on creating meaningful gestures and moments. Inspired by intricate Chettinad decorative floors and Spanish tiles, the design employs restraint with pixelated pattern flooring in the courtyard. Bold expressions, such as the flamboyant floralesque tile around the pool vault, add captivating visuals. Larger marble pieces in the formal living room, stair foyer, and library evoke timeless sophistication.

A Continuous Conversation Between Spaces

Both architecture and interiors are part of a continuous journey, a conversation between spaces. MuseLAB’s collaboration with local artists and craftsmen infuses the home with authenticity and character. Bespoke furnishings and handcrafted details tell a story, adding depth and personality. For the homeowners, the Hacienda offers a transformative retreat, reminiscent of a cherished vacation.

A Beacon of Creativity and Connection

As the sun sets, casting a warm glow on the hacienda-inspired abode, it symbolizes the power of creativity and connection. MuseLAB invites exploration, dreams, and the creation of lasting memories in this beautiful and authentic home in the heart of Coimbatore.

San Mateo 6, a historic site and a key location in the “La Movida” movement, now hosts GILDA HAUS, a new project by CODOO STUDIO. The goal was clear: create the next must-visit destination in Madrid. The challenge was to merge various concepts into a single cohesive space, combining the feel of a traditional tavern, the vibe of a classic cocktail bar for after-work gatherings, and the energy of a diverse electronic music DJ scene.

A Versatile Day-to-Night Space

GILDA HAUS is designed to be functional both day and night. It’s a place where patrons can eat, socialize, and dance, adapting to different needs throughout the day. The dynamic design includes various areas that transform from daytime social spaces to vibrant nightlife zones.

Celebrating Madrid’s Spirit

The design pays homage to Madrid’s vibrant lifestyle, inspired by the 1970s work of Gianfranco Frattini. The space reflects the essence of modern Madrid while celebrating its rich cultural history.

The Power of Color

Color is the central element of GILDA HAUS’s design. The space features a 360-degree monochromatic orange theme, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. This orange palette is enhanced by vibrant electric blue and fluorescent orange accents. Different materials, textures, and high-gloss paints interact with the lighting to produce varying nuances, making the space dynamic and engaging.

CODOO STUDIO has successfully created a multifaceted venue that encapsulates the spirit of Madrid, offering a unique and memorable experience from morning till night.

In the Gambetta Apartment renovation, Jean Benoît Vétillard Architecture skillfully blends added forms with existing geometries, amplifying the flat’s inherent theatrical character. The 100-square-meter Haussmannian flat, characterized by its mostly cornerless rooms, curved walls adorned with moldings, and hidden doors, served as the primary inspiration for this project. The renovation extends and enlarges the original plan, emphasizing its lines of force.

Depths of Field in New Composition

The new layout of the apartment creates a series of depth-of-field effects, resembling more of backstage and stage spaces rather than conventional serving and served spaces. This reorganization of the domestic areas is achieved through the strategic placement of multifunctional furniture made from oiled okoume wood and brushed aluminum.

Functional and Hidden Spaces

In the redesigned space, the front of the kitchen conceals access to the child’s bedroom, while a bow window shapes a modular tatami area. The living room is multifunctional, housing a large library as well as the parental bedroom, enhanced by geometric mirrors.

Preserving Original Structure and Materials

One of the key advantages of this renovation design is its respect for the original structure, which remains unaltered. The renovation allows the original materials to shine through, bringing back the natural light of Boulevard Gambetta, the white stucco, and the oak parquet floors, all of which reappear in their original splendor.

Den Da Coffee Shop continues its journey in Saigon with a new store, capturing the essence of old Saigon in its design. This latest chapter aims to bring a refreshing atmosphere to customers by integrating the nostalgic charm of Saigon’s past into the modern-day coffee shop experience.

A New Chapter at Phu Dong Roundabout

Located at the Phu Dong roundabout, this new branch of Den Da Coffee Shop offers a unique experience that blends the best elements from its history. Whether you’re a long-time patron or new to Den Da, this store promises to deliver satisfaction the moment you step inside.

Vintage Inspiration with Modern Functionality

KSOUL Studio has drawn inspiration from what some may consider outdated by the younger generation. By using vintage, yet highly functional materials and colors, the design evokes the construction trends and social atmosphere of the 1990s.

Structural Elegance and Nostalgia

The store’s structure features separately aligned window panes reminiscent of the iconic building at 42 Nguyen Hue Street. Elegant arrangements of grindstones and step-tread tiles, common in old Saigon households, traverse the store space. Traditional bricks form the bartender area, adding a unique touch to the overall design.

A Harmonious Blend of Old and New

KSOUL Studio’s layout integrates vintage and retrospective elements with modern innovations to create a comfortable and satisfying environment. Green-coated walls evoke the feel of old houses, while round-shaped, orange-painted inox LED cases illustrate the fusion of old-school and new-school styles.

Commitment to Tradition and Modernity

KSOUL Studio seldom undertakes projects with traditional and vintage elements due to the risk of appearing outdated in a modern society. However, their commitment to this project is evident in their ambition to materialize a narrative that resonates with Den Da enthusiasts. This design marks a significant development, reflecting the modernization and urbanization that Den Da has embraced throughout its history.

Located in Paraíso, Brazil, the RR Apartment underwent a stunning renovation by flipê arquitetura and Nati Minas & Studio in 2022. With an area spanning 2153 square feet, this project reimagines space, blending original materials with innovative design concepts to create a harmonious living environment.

Design Concept

Natália Minas and Gabriela Mestriner envisioned a fluid layout that seamlessly integrates organic furniture designs throughout the apartment’s living space. Embracing the style preferences of the young couple who call this apartment home, the design prioritizes social interaction and entertainment, with the bar serving as a focal point—a dynamic space for gatherings and socializing.

Revamped Aesthetics

Reuse was a fundamental principle guiding the renovation process, leveraging the apartment’s existing features such as marble flooring and quality cabinetry. The previously dark bar underwent a remarkable transformation, incorporating organic forms and texture-rich finishes to infuse the space with warmth and visual interest.

Transformational Interventions

The social area of the apartment underwent comprehensive interventions, maintaining the original floor while introducing new textures and a rounded design ceiling. Structural changes in the bathrooms posed challenges in balancing existing elements with modern design concepts, resulting in a harmonious blend of old and new.

Balancing Elements

Achieving balance between existing architectural elements and contemporary design was a key consideration. The project juxtaposes the coldness of marble with warm textures, cleaner design aesthetics with elaborate baseboards and crown moldings, creating a cohesive yet visually intriguing interior space.

Embracing Texture

Texture plays a central role in the apartment’s design, evident in fabric choices covering the bar and rustic treatments applied to the island, countertop, and shelves. Itaúnas granite, with its unique rusticity, adds character and depth to familiar materials, transforming them into distinctive design elements.

Conclusion

With its light colors, diverse textures, and striking bar design, the RR Apartment renovation offers an inviting and engaging space for its residents and guests. By reinterpreting materials and embracing innovative design concepts, flipê arquitetura and Nati Minas & Studio have redefined living spaces, infusing them with warmth, character, and a sense of modern elegance.

Designed by Alberto Campo Baeza and MQ Architecture and completed in 2023, this pavilion seamlessly integrates into the museum’s existing structure while offering a distinctive space for exhibitions and events.

Conceptualization and Design

The architects envisioned a structure that exudes simplicity and sophistication while complementing the aesthetic of the main building. The pavilion, arranged perpendicular to the existing complex, creates a unified space between the two structures. Its strategic positioning allows for functional efficiency while maintaining visual harmony with the surroundings.

Architectural Features

With a floor height matching that of the existing buildings, the pavilion maintains a consistent architectural language. A central avenue serves as a common access plane, providing transparency on the ground floor and leading to a lobby that doubles as a bar. The transparent design of this space enhances spatial continuity and invites visitors to explore further.

Functional Spaces

The pavilion houses various functional spaces designed to accommodate diverse exhibitions and events. A double-height room for Murano glass showcases translucent walls, creating a captivating display of transparency. The temporary exhibition hall, located adjacent to the lobby, offers ample space for conferences and events, with the flexibility to adapt to different uses.

Outdoor Integration

Outside the pavilion, the Olnick Spanu Pavilion serves as a transitional space between the museum and the new building. Connected through the main avenue, it acts as a special reception area for new works before their incorporation into the museum’s collection.

Future Potential

Anticipating future needs, the pavilion’s design allows for potential expansions, including basements for additional development. The integration of semi-basement spaces beneath the Murano area offers opportunities for classrooms or other educational purposes, enhancing the pavilion’s versatility.

Environmental Considerations

The architects carefully considered environmental factors, including the influence of the existing wetland area, mitigating any potential impact through simple geotechnical measures. The pavilion’s design ensures topographical suitability while maximizing natural light and ventilation.

The Robert Olnick Pavilion exemplifies a harmonious blend of architectural beauty and functional efficiency, enhancing the MagaZZino museum complex and providing a versatile space for exhibitions, events, and educational initiatives.

Central to the restaurant’s ambiance is the open kitchen, akin to a culinary stage, where various architectural materials converge, resembling diverse ingredients in a recipe. From unfinished perforated aluminum to rough stucco, red-colored MDF cabinetry, and transparent lacquered birch, each material contributes to the restaurant’s visual and tactile palette. The volumes of the kitchen, accentuated by overhead rings of lighting, exude a clean and transparent aesthetic, enhancing the overall design cohesion.

Celebrating Material Qualities through Detailing

The design ethos celebrates the inherent qualities of architectural materials, unveiling their textures, thicknesses, and depths through meticulous detailing. Notably, the use of red-colored MDF showcases a unique approach where the color permeates the material’s interior fibers, akin to the revelation of a cross-section, evoking a sense of authenticity and craftsmanship.

Maximizing Site Attributes and Geometry

Situated on the ground floor of the Suhrkamp Verlag building, the restaurant leverages the site’s inherent features, such as exposed concrete ceilings and expansive glass fronts, to preserve a sense of openness. A triangular welcome desk resolves the site’s complex geometry, fostering a serene dining atmosphere conducive to relaxation and enjoyment.

Thoughtful Furniture Selection and Lighting Design

The dining area furnishings, curated by Studio Coucou, feature custom-made tables in fine plywood, polished steel, and Forbo linoleum, complemented by chairs from Please Wait To Be Seated and custom wood banquettes upholstered with Kvadrat corduroy fabric. Lighting fixtures by Valerie Objects and large overhead rings designed by Ester Bruzkus Architekten further enhance the space’s ambiance and functionality.

The Fusion of Design and Dining Experience

REMI’s design narrative underscores the parallels between architectural design and modern gastronomy. By treating architectural materials with the same reverence as culinary ingredients, Ester Bruzkus Architekten has crafted a restaurant that mirrors the essence of a well-prepared meal: vibrant, meticulously detailed, and a testament to the artistry of its creators, chefs Lode van Zuylen and Stijn Remi.

The revitalization of 77 Washington, undertaken by Worrell Yeung Architecture, represents a significant restoration and redesign endeavor. Originally a six-story, 38,000 square-foot masonry factory from the 1920s, along with four adjoining historic structures, the project breathes new life into these buildings. Situated in close proximity to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, this ambitious project pays homage to the area’s rich heritage and the architectural styles prevalent in early 20th-century New York warehouses.

Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future

The renovation project not only respects the site’s historical significance but also aims to create a versatile, multi-functional workspace adaptable to various tenants. This includes accommodating sprawling artist and photography studios in the adjacent structures. Max Worrell, co-principal of Worrell Yeung, emphasizes the importance of preserving the existing historical elements while integrating modern functionality seamlessly.

Blending Old with New

A key aspect of the design philosophy involves thoughtful juxtapositions between old and new elements. Contemporary minimalism coexists with the weathered patina of original materials, highlighting the complex’s rich history. This delicate balance ensures that the architectural heritage remains prominent while meeting the demands of contemporary users.

Central Focus: The Factory Building

At the heart of the complex lies the six-story factory building, serving as its focal point. Flanked by three one-story structures to the south, a central courtyard bathed in natural light forms a serene oasis within the urban landscape. The removal of a garage to the factory’s left allows for the creation of a lush garden and communal bike storage area, enhancing the workspace environment.

Restoration and Preservation Efforts

Worrell Yeung’s restoration efforts extend to the meticulous preservation of original storefronts and brick walls. By reclaiming the site’s history, they create visually striking spaces filled with natural light, evoking the industrial charm of bygone eras. The integration of elements such as glass block clerestories and dark blue exteriors further enhances the cohesive identity of the complex.

Celebrating Heritage Through Materiality

The interior design pays homage to the site’s industrial past, with materials like diamond plate floors and unfinished steel accents evoking a sense of rugged authenticity. Collaboration with local artisans, such as Navy Yard-based woodworkers, ensures that historical elements are repurposed creatively, enriching the workspace with unique features like custom furniture pieces.

Embracing Light and Space

Light plays a crucial role in the design, with large windows and strategic openings maximizing natural illumination throughout the complex. Grid patterns, a recurring motif, not only add visual interest but also serve functional purposes, as seen in elements like steel grids covering elevator shaft openings.

Conclusion

The transformation of 77 Washington Workspace by Worrell Yeung Architecture exemplifies a harmonious blend of heritage preservation and contemporary innovation. By honoring the past while embracing the future, the project breathes new life into historic structures, creating a dynamic workspace that reflects the essence of its surroundings.
