This pasta bar conceptualization focuses on a thoughtful study of materials and how they shape the guest experience, especially in daytime hospitality settings. The design features light oak flooring and warm natural wood surfaces, creating a space that feels inviting, fresh, and relaxed—perfect for a casual lunch or an early dinner.

RESIDENTIAL DESIGN OF THE MONTH

In this concept design study we showcased a stunning modern residence where an open-plan layout maximizes natural light through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. These windows seamlessly connect the interior with the lush outdoor landscape, creating a fluid transition between indoor and outdoor living.
LOBBY DESIGN
Corporate and residential lobby design in NYC
Our goal was to conceptualize a peaceful residential lobby with direct access to the elevator, using natural materials to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Rich wood paneling and built-in seating add comfort and texture, while polished Calacatta marble flooring enhances the space with its refined, reflective surface. Floor-to-ceiling glass draws in natural light and opens the space to the surrounding greenery, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the outdoors
CORPORATE DESIGN OF THE MONTH

This high-end lobby showcases modern sophistication with a blend of natural elements and refined finishes. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, highlighting dark wood paneling and integrated ambient lighting. The seating area features plush caramel-toned armchairs and a sleek cream sofa, centered around oval wood coffee tables. Neutral rugs define the space, while structured greenery adds a natural touch. Subtle white marble accents contrast elegantly with the dark wood, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that balances professionalism and comfort.
