21.10.2015. Le Pavillon Circulaire, Hotel de Ville. fait de materiaux essentiellement recupérés. Arch: Encore heureux

A singular building, the Circular Pavilion has nothing round. The name describes the process, which follows the circular economy principles, according to which ones’ waste become others’ ressources. Faced with the depletion of natural resources and aims for the «Zero Metropolis Waste» ambition, this pavilion demonstrates the potential of re-use in architecture, which fits in the context of COP 21 (the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference) in Paris. About 60% of the implemented materials here finds a second life.

The “Ottica Annoni”, glasses and optometry historical shop, decides to move, after more than 100 years, in a larger and brighter space on the ground floor of a nearby building of the Monza’s city center. The new shop has an “L” shape, where, in the widest part facing the public road, takes place the sales activities, while in the deepest part there are office, warehouse and service areas.

The design’s process challenge was to expose at least 500 glasses giving however to the customer the feel to be in a boutique and not in a department store. The store’s concept turns around the vertical blades that run from the floor, on the walls, to the ceiling expanding the perception of the space and becoming an elegant “structure” for showing glasses on light and backlit Plexiglas shelves. The final customer perception is not a confusing display of numerous articles, but a feeling of linearity and refinement in showing each pair of glasse.

Situated in northern Botswana, the Okavango Delta is a spectacular natural site where an entire river flows into vast plains and then completely evaporates without ever reaching the sea. Lush and wondrous, this habitat is home to rare wildlife and bizarre natural landscapes and, not surprisingly, was voted in 2014 as the 1000th UNESCO World Heritage Site. Perched on a private island right in the heart of it all is the recently renovated Belmond Eagle Island Lodge, an exclusive retreat that redefines raw luxury.

“We have designed the Asian flagship store of Steinway & Sons in Tennoz Isle. Our aim was to create a space where their clients can feel Steinway’s craftsmanship, philosophy, history, and the beauty of their instruments. Clients will feel attached to everything about Steinway in this showroom, beyond the concept of “objects”.

Patents… Patents are made out of brass, and baked in a sand mold. This traditional manufacturing process represents their craftsmanship. Each plate has patent number and name engraved, sealing their traditions and histories. Flooring… We installed a Herringbone floor to reproduce Steinway’s woodworking craftsmanship spirit in the interior space. We used 5 kinds of wood (beech, bubinga, walnut, maple, and mahogany), which are also used for making pianos. These details add dignity, which is backed by traditions and records, to the interior.”
