Doruk Nilüfer Hospital

ZOOM/TPU

The Doruk Nilüfer Hospital in Bursa, Turkey, has just been shortlisted in 2024 Inside World Festival of Interiors. And no wonder, the fluid volume and integrated lighting set it apart in the healthcare sector. It’s the creation of İstanbul-based architectural and interior design firm ZOOM/TPU, which was founded by Atilla Kuzu and Levent Çırpıcı in 1994 and has made a name for itself with futuristic interiors. The name ZOOM/TPU offers an insight into the company’s design process: ‘zooming in’ on details of their work ranging from construction plans to custom-designed furniture.

Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra Hall

MAMA

The Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra Hall in Vilnius stuns with dramatic criss-crossing lines of LED light. It’s the work of Mama architects. Principals Marius Mateika and Indrė Ankudavičienė say their focus is on the listener. They say that their objective was to achieve an entirely new acoustic standard, tailored specifically for symphony orchestra performances of the highest calibre. They also meticulously devised the standard elements such as rhombuses, triangles, and both smooth and ribbed planes and assembled the interior using these components.

Raaya

NULTY

International lighting design practice Nulty has produced a lighting scheme for Raaya by Atmosphere, a private-island retreat situated in The Maldives. Brought to life by Panchshil Realty and Pune-based design practice Dar & Wagh, the 5-star resort was shaped by its paradise location. Clean architectural lines and wide-open spaces ensure that the views out across the island take precedence, and an earthy material palette blurs the boundaries between the interiors and the landscape.
