Interest and specialization
To plan and design: imagine something new is more than a volumetric and chromatic composition, it involves all senses, lighting, warmth, colours, scents of materials; the ambience will take life slowly from the first concept drawings untying technical difficulties and compromises among the research of the best solution. Giving to the Client the right service means to identify with the user and understand his expectations, overall imagine how the space is going to be used both private than public, both it is a projection of the single to the others or, otherwise, a way to identify with a different and unusual reality, a chance to live a new experience and new emotions.
Inspiration source
Landscape features, the space characteristics are the project bases, even if it seems you don’t have any restriction we start with them. Foreign cultures and their colour, lights and materials, old and recent photos, fairies illustration, are food for the imagination.
