ELECTRIC BLUE 1.42

Bright, expressive, bold - this is how you can describe the #electricblue42 project The owners of this apartment also stand out among the majority of customers for their courage in making decisions. First of all, I was inspired by their attitude to rich colors in the apartment. At the very first meeting, I formed an association of this young couple with clean, bright blue.

Parque Austral Offices

For the office building at Parque Austral, our main goal was maximizing the usable space, which led us to opt for a single circulation corridor. Along this corridor, we incorporated intermediate spaces serving as reception areas for the offices, each offering its own distinct atmosphere.   Gonzalo Charon Gonzalo Charon This idea sprang from a desire to break the monotony of the corridor and give it an open, spacious feel to avoid any sense of confinement. Our vision for these areas – the reception, the corridor itself, and the offices – was to blend seamlessly, forming the heart of the project with its own unique character.   Gonzalo Charon Gonzalo Charon Gonzalo Charon We wanted tenants to...

Doro Apartment

IntroNearly a century ago, Battersea Power station started producing electricity for London’s expanding population.  Along the river Thames, boats carried the black coal to feed the enormous steam engines that once pumped dark clouds into the sky from its notorious four chimneys.
