In un edificio residenziale alle porte di Parma si realizza un intervento di ristrutturazione ed accorpamento di due appartamenti disposti su tre livelli complessivi. L'obiettivo è quello di definirire un'identità forte e riconoscibile all'intera abitazione. Forme stravaganti e colori allegri arricchiscono l'ambiente pensato per una famiglia con bambini. Soprattutto per loro si articola il progetto: un mondo sognante e colorato racchiuso tra le mura domestiche, per stimolare la creatività e liberare la fantasia. Il progettista volge lo sguardo ad un passato non lontano, quello popolato di idee bizzarre e divertenti del Radical Design italiano. Così la casa si popola di elementi surreali...dai buffi totem alla Sottsass agli scenari alieni di Superstudio, dai neon colorati del Gruppo Ufo alla sorprendente scala elicoidale, la cui forma così perfetta e impossibile ci accompagna da un piano all'altro come in un viaggio fantastico.

Overview Whole house refurbishment, space planning and daylight exercise. The Brief To reorganise the internal arrangement throughout the client’s new home, create a large, open plan kitchen and living space off the garden while proposing a unique relationship to the garden which is at the lower level. Our Solution Working with a brilliant, forward-thinking client who knows what they like is always a real pleasure. This project enhances the original features of the house while adding a warm, simple timber cube to the rear. The timber is now silver grey in colour and ageing gracefully, the glass is neat and simple with our signature garden oriel window the main feature. The modern oriel window is a very useful tool that we often consider as it gives the client a different place to sit, relax and enjoy the new spaces and garden. If the house has a lower garden level it’s even better. The project has a great kitchen, very much of the moment in terms of colour and materials, the client really committed to the look and aesthetic. Again we left in some structure and wrapped the kitchen around it working WITH the project constraints rather than resisting them. Our view is, you pay a lot for your steelwork… Show it off!

The clever roof structure gave the extension a wonderful sense of internal volume as well as bringing light deeper into the dining room area.

This is an example of a small garden in Cheshire.

This small courtyard is a carefully designed combination of materials that allows the new and old structures to sit comfortably together and brings the whole garden up to date. The cedar bench top provides warmth to the outdoor space which is dominated by the restrained colours of the walls and flooring. While the consistent mid green colour of the planting provides structure to this garden the combination of varying leaf shapes and textures provides depth and interest. An offset layout to the bench seating allows for depth in the garden whilst the introduction of screen planting creates privacy. The result is a calming and relaxed garden in an urban setting.
