Parisien
Pied-a-terre
A celebration of classic elegance
A sense of place
Travel has opened up the world, bringing different cultures within reach, yet some argue that it has made experiences feel uniform. Our mission is to root each project in its unique surroundings, cultivating a sense of calm and belonging. While the practicalities of life can remain consistent, the style and interaction with the environment should resonate with local culture, history, and nature.
Revive the apartment’s former splendour
One of our favourite projects, located just off the Champs-Élysées in the heart of Parisian fashion quarter, provided a splendid canvas to embody French chic—a beautiful fusion of the classical and the contemporary. Housed in a heritage building that previously served as offices, we undertook the meticulous task of restoring plaster details, reinstating original door handles, and replacing the damaged flooring to revive the apartment’s former splendour.
Modern comforts, such as underfloor heating and concealed air-conditioning grilles, are artfully integrated within classic architectural elements. The layout provides two kitchens ensuring that the family breakfast kitchen can also act as an extension of the living space.

Elements to give you a smile
In every project, we strive to design elements that bring jhappiness—not trivialities, but thoughtful features that enhance the overall experience. A standout feature of this design is the installation of an Yves Klein blue guest toilet pod in an otherwise unremarkable corridor. This striking addition has become a delightful focal point, with many guests making a beeline for it upon arrival, turning it into a cherished conversation starter.
Parisien elegance
This project is a celebration of Parisien elegance, where history and modernity coexist in harmony, inviting both residents and visitors to immerse themselves in the charm and vibrancy of their surroundings.

Faena House
Craftsmanship through Time
To truly appreciate craftsmanship, one need not dwell in the past; rather, one can find joy in its legacy. For our project at Faena House in Miami, the client sought a vision of “Hardcore Art Deco.” This wasn’t merely an obsession with the style, but rather an appreciation for the finest elements of the past, blended with a forward-looking perspective—an invitation to indulge in Miami’s vibrant culture alongside the Faena Hotel and cultural centre next door.
Chrisco
One of a Kind
This project beautifully encapsulates the essence of collaboration and creativity, where the vision of the clients and the dedication of the team converge to create something remarkable. The strong chemistry among the team members fosters an environment where innovative ideas flourish, and every detail is meticulously crafted to reflect the clients’ aspirations and lifestyle.
Mediterranean Penthouse
Natural and Artificial Light
This project prominently features light as a constant element high above the city, thanks to its 360-degree windows that showcase the shifting illumination throughout the day. The apartment design was inspired by our client’s vision of a bespoke coastal entertaining space – relaxed and comfortable with just the right amount of city chic. We took inspiration from the location – hot sun, warm sea and endless sand dunes.
Legato
Colour in Life
We have recently completed a yacht for a client whose vision was to evoke feelings of summer joy and foster family bonding during the warm summer days. This family boldly embraced vibrant colours that mirrored their optimistic perspective on life. Our task was to harmonize these vivid dreams without compromising their vibrancy.
Contest Yachts
A remarkable collaboration
This is a story of a remarkable collaboration for the last 14 years. Our goal has been to blend the luxurious spirit, spaciousness, and comfort of a large superyacht with the excitement, practicality, and flexibility of a semi-custom production yacht.
