Architect & Friends design value #6: QualLight as a powerful design resource. When it comes to lighting and illumination in architecture, it is very important for us to create a ballance between natural light & artificial light as well as general lighting & effect lighting. A space can be supported or destroyed, light is a crucial factor for it.

Three levels per apartment, corridor/entrance area, living/dining area facing south and sleeping area facing north.

By hiding several openings behind integrated shutters incorporated in the wooden facade, the building lives with it's inhabitants being lively and illuminated when used. #architecture #interiordesign #renovation #grado #gradoitaly #colmata #colmatauno #designedingrado @woodn_industries #architectandfriends Image of Marcello D'Olivo's ideas for the Complesso Zipser in Grado, Italy. Designs from the late 1950's, the condominium was built between approx. 1960 and 1965. For the first time Marcello D'Olivo worked with triplex apartments (half-story staggered floor plan) - all living rooms facing the sea (South) and all bedrooms facing the city center of Grado (North). Open kitchenettes and spacious living and dining areas and much much more... #midcentury #marcellodolivo #architect #brutalism #architecture #interiordesign #experimental #grado #gradoitaly #italy #isoladelsole #midcenturymoderngrado Architect & Friends design value #4: Expansion of space! During the design process of each of our projects, we try to make the rooms appear larger than they actually are and to create a strong relationship between indoor and outdoor living where possible.
