Surrounded by Lush Nature | Concrete House

The Concrete House is surrounded by nature. Designed as a concrete and glass box, it offers spacious and integrated spaces. The pool blends with the surrounding mountain landscape. The second floor houses the social areas, all facing stunning views of nature. Construction details, such as small remaining holes in the concrete walls, are preserved, providing scenic light points. From the front facade, the mountains can be seen throughout the building. The visual permeability of the glass enclosures, mediated by a set of blinds that provide different gradations of privacy, allowed sharing the house’s privileged view with the street.

  • THE TOY BOX

    – The client: I need a “toy store to store toys”
    – ji study: “We create a space that EVERYTHING IS A TOY !!”
    The project is intended for the youngest clients we have had:
    3 and 5 years. These mini-clients do not demand great needs, only places,
    spaces, colors and imaginative experiences.
    That is why we decided to make the leap of designing the furniture that we were commissioned
    to make a “mega furniture” that in itself is the toy and also
    The toy box.
    We had a very interesting volume in one of the bedrooms of
    a building built in the 40’s where we obtained the great advantage and
    opportunity to have a height of 4 meters free.
    This mega-furniture is based, in its concept, on a poplar wood fold
    that surrounds the space and creates volumes according to the places we wanted
    give them:
    – beds in line with nest beds below
    – stairs
    – yellow play tunnel with hemispheres and networks
    – benches
    – blackboards on walls and furniture
    – fun and sliding chairs
    – A desk table representing a sun
    – Lights like moons or stars
    – High and low storage
    In short, it is a space if a specific purpose, timeless
    and with the values ​​of IMAGINE, DISCOVER, INVEST, UP, DOWN,
    SKIP…
