CLINIC DESIGN

The project proposes a different way of doing health facilities, based on the idea that health is related to wellbeing, and as a consequence of recognising that most medical spaces tend to be impersonal, cold and inert.

It was crucial for the project to communicate human warmth and first class technology. The interior design makes both concepts present in all the spaces, but in different ways, emphasising human warmth in the consultation and care areas, and technology in the medical intervention areas.

In order to break with the general appearance of the medical spaces, the management of scale, natural light and colour was fundamental to guarantee welcoming atmospheres. For programmatic needs, we had to fragment the open floor plan, creating small capsules within larger scale ensembles that generate a spatial scheme easy to read for patients, guaranteeing privacy conditions, without compromising natural lighting and spatial amplitude.

The project is composed of four main boxes located towards a central space understood as the public space within the project. Around it there is a volume for the hospitality programme, another for the wellness spaces, one more for the consultation areas and a final box for the clinical intervention area. The idea is that the circulations and activities of each section of the project do not cross each other, preserving the intentional atmosphere of each environment.

APARTMENT DESIGN AND DECORATION

In this apartment the kitchen is the heart of the house, everything is designed around it. Materials play an important role: gresite, terrazzo, lacquered and perforated metals… materials that have an industrial background, but in this case they are integrated together with a controlled use of color that is very present throughout the design.

Every detail, from the shutters that substitute curtains, the shower screens with bulls eyes or the wardrobes are custom designed. For the decoration, we have tried to incorporate contemporary furniture  in combination with design icons and new pieces that we have design for the house.

EXHIBITION DESIGN

The proposal is part of the general trend of creating private spaces where individuals can relax and achieve a state of wellness, but it moves away from the way these spaces are usually presented. The project avoids white as a purifying element and from any current or regionalist manifestation that transports us to other distant places. On the contrary, it materializes as a universal and global response. It takes as a reference, great milestones from the modernism and the international style, which during the 1920s and 30s imposed a new way of understanding design, interiors and architecture from the perspective of functionality. From this moment on, luxury will no longer be linked to the complexity or impossibility of an ornament. Works such as the VILLA CAVROIS by Robert Mallet Stevens serve as the main reference along with the current proposals for the new Acne Studio stores by Arquitectura G or Max Lamb.

APARTAMENT DESIGN

The project is located on the second floor and has plenty of ventilation and cross-light. The bedrooms and living-dining room look out onto the exterior and the kitchen and hallway overlook a large courtyard, which is why light is a key element in this project.

We chose to incorporate elements of the modern movement and a controlled chromatic range as if it were the Villa Savoye: white, creams, greys and black accents for the lighting, sockets and door handles. Colour would be incorporated into the textiles, furniture and decoration. In contrast to the neutral box, a range of bluish greens for the kitchen, cupboards and the microcement in the bathroom are in charge of contrasting with the rest.

The glass blocks are a perfect tool for dividing rooms and allowing light to pass through. The kitchen is a key piece, which is why it is made up of high units in oak wood and low units in petrol blue.

The master bedroom in beige and oak wood flooring generates a much warmer feeling. The curtain filters the light from outside. The en-suite bathroom encourages this duality with a part in beige and the shower area in a dark petroleum blue in microcement which we access through an arch.

APARTAMENT DESIGN AND DECORATION

The project is located in a 1920’s building. The flat has high ceilings and 3 balconies to the outside. The concept is to create a unique, open and versatile space. The wardrobe, bathroom and kitchen modules don’t reach the ceiling, establishing a secondary height of 240cm to avoid a heavy and closed feeling.

From the beginning, colour was considered as another construction material. With the high-gloss ceiling plane, the walls are prolonged and the sensation of light and spaciousness is multiplied.

The curtains play a fundamental role in providing privacy and versatility in the living room and bedroom.

In the end, the idea was to look back, learn from the masters and give shape to a modern and contemporary home with very marked roots, creating a temporal duality using colour as a nexus of union.

APARTAMENT DESIGN

This project is located in the heart of Ciudad Lineal in a 4th floor with great views and incredible light.

The floor plan of the project was practically established by the original distribution and we opted to unify the living-dining room with the kitchen, leave the bedroom in the same place and change the entrance to the bathroom to optimise the distribution. Once again the project has a single door – the bathroom door – and thanks to the curtains we compartmentalised the different spaces, giving more privacy and opacity to the bedroom as opposed to the common areas.

The references were clear from the beginning. We looked at the chromatics used in the Le Corbusier + Pierre Jeanneret project, hence the light blue ceiling, the cream-coloured walls and the continuous nude-coloured micro-cement floor. The kitchen becomes the protagonist of the space, enhancing it with terracotta and maroon.

In the bathroom a checkerboard in maroon and blue is placed in contrast with the nude tiling of the walls, we decided to keep the original terrazzo in the bedroom and use the textile to complement the materiality of the projeWe understood this project as very intimate from the beginning, so we recreated an everyday scene with HECHO products – www.thisishecho.com- in order to show a domestic scene in its maximum splendour as if it were a frame from an Almodóvar film.

OFFICE DESIGN

The 400m2 offices are located in a 1920’s building on Serrano Street in Madrid. The original state already marked the future distribution of the project divided into three main areas. In the exterior area and overlooking Serrano street is the reception, the waiting area, the meeting rooms and the main office. In the centre is the first work area with the communal kitchen and bathrooms, and in the back area is the workbench area and two offices.

The building had a herringbone pine floor, high ceilings, mouldings, boiseries and solid wood carpentry. We decided to integrate these classic elements with more contemporary design touches and more vibrant colours.

As soon as you enter, you are greeted by a custom-made counter in camel and mirror and its semicircular shape accompanies you inside. The first meeting room with touches of maroon and terracotta is located in the entry. The second meeting room, this time in blue colours, is the one that connects with the main office.

 

The Cubro kitchen was proposed as an oasis of tranquillity and warm, calm colours. Beige is the main colour, but green complements it.

OFFICE + HECHO SHOP DESIGN

The project was complex because the studio was going to be shared with Estudio Reciente and also going to coexist with HECHO, homeware shop. This is why we decided to have one open space in the ground level where the office and the shop where going to cohabitate, leaving the underground level for the bathrooms, storage, kitchen and meeting room.

 

We wanted to have a flexible division so we decided to use curtains to divide both programs being able to create to possible configurations. The materials of this upper floor help to create an industrial atmosphere where color plays an important role creating a contemporary and bright space. The underground level is conceived as an explosion of warm colors.

 

The bathrooms were thought of as an evolving atmosphere. Floors, walls and ceilings are made from a square reticule of beige tiles and abstracts shapes in different colors that colonies the space randomly, creating a playful environment with a surprising effect.

APARTAMENT DESIGN AND DECORATION

The Project is a 110 m2 living space with concrete structure and it is located in the 5th floor with a big terrace with views.

 

We decided to make a big space with the living room and the kitchen area. The warm colors and the noble materials like wood, marbles or contrete are the protagonists of the space. Also, we decided to play with some focal points in black color to connect every space in the Project.

 

We use white microcement for the walking areas and the corridor’s doors are totally integrated with the walls.

 

The toilets with the marble sinks are the protagonists of these spaces. One of them in pink and beige tones and the other one in a intense dark blue.
