Havana Walk by OOAA Architects

One of my favourite Spanish Architects OOAA Architectura created Havana Walk. In the middle of busy Madrid, full of dynamism, the intention was to achieve a space decontextualized from the city. An oasis of calm. A refuge of silence where emptiness was the protagonist. With limestone floors and artisanal lime walls, the studio appears like […]

Bourse de Commerce & L’origine des choses

Night Time in a Palace | Domotex 2024

The exhibition “Night Time in a Palace” by carpet designer Lila Valadan transported us into a mysterious, surreal world straight out of the tales from the thousand and one nights during Domotex. Guided through different rooms the different designs by the Persian brand were unveiled. I really loved the room with the bells hanging from […]
