House KO

Lights. shadows. materiality. surfaces.

Comprehension of life’s routines for visually comfortable and meaningful interiors.

HOUSE KO

The language of the project is simple horizontal and vertical line geometries, which are orientated towards the lakeside and the town views.

The place of the private residential owners is the combination of past, present and future in the form of a timeless interior that is structured from a series of interactions between surface, choice of materials, proportion, shadow and light. We look into two ways: into the past and into the future.

Timeless and sophisticated.

INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE

OBJECTS

EXECUTION SERVICE

While working on interiors, be they private homes, shops or hotels, the first step is to connect to the client’s needs and their daily routines, followed by the understanding of the unique spatial characteristics, proportions, lighting, shadows, and any particular vocation. The goal is to create timeless and visually composed interiors that adapt to everyday life with carefully conceived materiality and where all objects are selected or designed to be loved over a lifetime.

Objects, silent companions of a lifetime.

We conceive precious one-of-a-kind objects to respond to the mood of the interior with which we work. Material choices are a pillar of the process: we design exclusively starting from natural substances, such as glass, metals, wood and stone. We master their features so we can use them to the fullest. For the realization, we refer to a network of expert craftsmen with whom we have built a solid collaboration over time.

Experience and connections. Over the years we gathered experience aslocal partners for on-site project development and execution on behalf of big international companies.

We combine strong expertise in reading and understanding the project with the knowledge of cultural territorial specifici-ties and a network of suppliers to develop projects locally with success.
