Quadro Headquarters / studio wok

Bianca Valentina Roșescu — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 10:00:00 +0000

A domestic and flexible workspace. The restyling of Quadro's headquarters, a young and dynamic tap-ware company, was conceived by remodeling the rooms and transferring the brand's peculiarities into the interior design. Quadro's innovative approach manifests itself in the choice of combining noble materials with an essential, archetypal, timeless design. At the same time, the project uses simple, pure volumes and a palette composed of natural materials and neutral, warm colors.

The project is located near Lake Orta, inside the headquarters of the QuadroDesign faucet company; our intervention involved the design of open spaces and the recovery of an old electrical cabin present inside the property and represents the second step of work, following the restyling of the offices and showroom, which took place in 2022. The client desired to add new spaces to the property that could have a flexible and dynamic use, usable either by the Magistro family, owners of the business, for commercial purposes, or as an artist's residence. A concrete plateau identifies a kind of public square from which 3 volumes emerge that define, in a labile and flexible way, different possible ways of using the space: the cabin, the pergola, and the swimming pool.

Places and landscapes create the background of our life experiences and can influence emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Designing a funeral home is a great responsibility: the moment of farewell is full of emotions and pain; spending this time in a positive habitat can be an instrument of comfort.

Myrto Restaurant in Porto Cervo / studio wok

A tribute to the essence of the Costa Smeralda. "Architecture is lived in while art is looked at; this is a fundamental difference. Architecture is a physical and sensory experience because you go inside it." Ettore Sottsass. What is the Costa Smeralda, what does its essence consist of? This was the first question we asked ourselves. When we think of this part of Sardinia, we think of granite rocks shaped by the wind. The curving materiality of the granite is warmed by the sunlight and by the reflections of the crystal-clear sea and interacts with the lush greens of the Mediterranean scrub.
