Deep Dive

Deep Dive is loosely inspired by the worlds of Charles Darwin and Jules Verne, as well as a dash of 1920s speakeasy—capturing the human spirit of curiosity and imagination. Accessed via a nondescript entryway tucked discretely between the two Amazon Spheres, the bar unfolds as a journey.Deep Dive is created out of one of three residual spaces located between and below the spheres (Graham Baba also designed Understory, a multipurpose exhibit venue that occupies one of the other two spaces). “When you descend, you enter into this dark relic that's tinged with a sense of Victorian magic and mysticism,” notes lead architect Jim Graham of Graham Baba Architects. The design embraces its inherent spatial li... More

Grand Hyatt Xi'an

Grand Hyatt Xi’an takes reference from the spirit of the Silk Road and reinterpret into the elegant contemporary interiors of the hotel. The theme begins in the double-height lobby where patterned timber walls form wing-like motifs and a large feather-like sculptural feature extends ten meters from the floor to the ceiling, lit from below. The lobby’s bubble lifts are wrapped in curved laser-cut metal screens with images depicting ancient Chinese palaces. An extravagant curved staircase leading to the function rooms sets the scene for a grand entrance by evoking the motion of desert sand dunes.

Refurbishment for Cristina & Juan Carlos

The project is based on the renovation of a house in Petrer with an area of 104m2, distributed in two floors in which there were no intervention since their construction in the 50’s. The main goal of the project was to realize an integral design, looking for the maximum use of the surface, the purity of lines and the precision in the execution.The deteriorated state of the house, with a very fragmented distribution and little natural light, added to the existence of transversal load walls inside the house, forced an integral reform and to reinforce the structure in a precise way to achieve the spatial connection that would respond to the needs of the new owners. The project proposes a new distribution in order to make the rooms more spaciou... More

The arrangement is distributed as follows: parking space on the ground floor, day zone on the first floor and night zone on the second floor.

Stefanie & Gala Shoes Offices

Stefanie & Gala Shoes is a company located in Elda (Alicante, Spain) with full dedication to the manufacture of high-quality women's footwear. This company have proposed us a refurbishment project of their offices, which consisted in design and built in a very short period of three weeks.We were looking for a very neutral office as a whole in which the organization and the visual cleanliness will govern, and whose execution would be quick. A warm front at the back of the office counteracts general neutrality. The perimeter equipped with low furniture supports all the necessary storage, also housing all the computer equipment and its wiring, as well as various planters with plants of different sizes. More

Offices - Casado & Pujol

The project is based on the offices refurbishment for a consultant company in Petrer (Alicante, Spain) with an area of 141m2.The design is created through a distribution based on visual and spatial communication, thus developing two spaces with different use and characteristics. The first is a diaphanous and open space for general consultations where we find the areas of waiting room, reception, workstations and storage. The second consists of three closed wooden cubes for more specific and personal advice, consisting of two offices and a meeting room. These three cubes visually communicate with the opposite area through large glass panels that allow sunlight to arrive to all work rooms. Inside the interstices that generate the cubes we fin...

Sabidom Headquater

While designing the main office of Sabidom Company which specializes in construction of townhouses, the main task was to demonstrate a favorable difference between this company and the major players of the construction market. Another task was to establish a fundamentally different approach of Sabidom not only to construction process, but also to interaction with the clients. The main goal of this interaction is to turn the usually difficult and complicated task of house purchasing into a fun adventure. Therefore, for the interior design, we decided to follow the methods rather typical for offices of IT companies such as Google, Skype, Yandex. As our client said - "It is necessary to create a positive work space for the free-thinking and cr... More
