RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Before the works started there was a data collection period from interior design market. It was important to achieve the impression of soaring ceilings, using the shadow ceilings technique. I intended the marble to be seen as it goes beyond the ceiling. The kitchen facades was an experiment, made from slate veneer on the plywood base 2400 mm high. The total weight of the facades was limited by the maximum operational weight indicated by HAWA
CHALLENGE: Kitchen facades (in terms of sizes, weight, materials used). Kitchen island made from backlighted Patagonia quartzite cut under different angles. Large slabs of Bianca Carrara marble on the floors. Small heating facility room (4 s.m.) which controls all of the apartment engineering systems (duct ventilation, air conditioning, air ionization, humidification, heating system and heated floors, water treatment, hammam, electrical systems, lighting, KNX smart home)
