Verde Arancio
Personal work l 2024
The design of this concept store is rooted in the striking image of green marble with vibrant orange veins. This bold combination of colors served as the foundational inspiration for the entire project. From this initial reference, the design process unfolded, focusing on creating a space that balances elegance and modernity.
The furniture and interior elements were carefully developed, featuring clean, geometric lines that complement the richness of the materials. Green marble, stainless steel, and orange velvet became the key materials, each chosen for its texture, color, and tactile qualities. These materials are thoughtfully applied throughout the store, creating contrast and harmony in different areas. For instance, the green marble is used in prominent surfaces, giving a sense of solidity, while the stainless steel adds a contemporary, industrial touch, and the orange velvet introduces warmth and softness.
The geometric theme extends beyond the furnishings to the ceiling design. A coffered grid structure defines the ceiling, with glowing arches that provide uniform lighting and emphasize the store’s open, airy feel. These architectural details not only highlight the merchandise but also guide the customer’s experience, creating a sense of movement and flow throughout the space.

Geometric Elegance
Personal work l 2024
This architectural project envisionsaconceptstorefora luxury brand, set in the heart of Paris, where fashion and architecture intersect seamlessly. During the research phase, the vision emerged for a chic store featuring minimalist furnishings and basic geometric shapes.
Central to the design are rectangular boxes, conceived as elegant displays for the brand’s merchandise. These rectangular elementsinformedaseriesofsimpleshapesutilizedinallaspects of the furnishings, from standing displays to the store’s ceiling. Symmetry guided the overall design, fostering a sense of order and harmony throughout the space.
Soft lighting and large mirrors on the walls enhance the store’s spaciousness, creating an inviting atmosphere that exudes luxury and sophistication. The predominant color scheme of black and white was chosen for its timeless elegance and its ability to accentuate the displayed products. The blurred aspect of the renders gives to the images a nostalgic and dramatic vibes and is made on purpose.
La Torre Europea

Madrid
Theprojectpresentsitselfasabigandintricatechallenge,wherein the conception of a hybrid-program building has demanded a diligent contemplation of myriad variables and requisites. The crux of the challenge lies with the intent of harmonize a vast array of activities within a singular architectural framework, ensuring both functional efficiency and aesthetic congruity.
La Torre Europea imposes itself on the elegant skyline of the Spanishcapital,soaringtoaheightofninetymetersandengaging in a dialogue with highly significant buildings for the community, such as the Royal Palace and Almudena Cathedral. In particular, we are referring to a multifunctional building that willhostanAcademyofFineArtsforItaliansinthecityofMadrid.
For this reason, the selection of materials, spatial arrangement, and appearance of the building has been very crucial, as all these aspects must harmonize with eachother, creating a proper balance between functionality and aesthetics.
Thetwentyfloors,includingtwodouble-heightlevels,aredivided by four load-bearing blocks. These blocks not only ensure high stability for the entire structure but also accommodate various services.Specifically,twoelevatorshaftsareprovided,distributed across two different sets of floors, along with a staircase and restroom facilities.

The project presents the opportunity to utilize the citizens’ plaza as a distinctive, exceptionally vast public area, suitable for communal gatherings, concerts, exhibitions, or even subdividing it into a series of smaller pocket plazas surrounding the central one.Eachminiatureplazacanadapttotheneighboringactivities andenvironment,providingtheoptiontohostmoreorlessprivate events, which may require protection from traffic and noise, as well as safety measures for children and youth.
The linear pedestrian and bicycle bridge spanning Hugwangdaero ensures the seamless connection between the southern and northern plazas, even during peak traffic hours.
At the heart of the central plaza, precisely at the convergence of the two levels (urban level and -5m), where the central park and the east-west sunken plaza meet, a striking panoramic tower is introduced. The tower’s positioning, deliberately offset from the southern sightline to the Jeollanamdo regional office building, maintainsitsvisibilityfromthepark,offeringanelevatedvantage point to overlook the panorama in all directions.
