Manufactory's Duplex by Adriano Galati

Manufactory's Duplex by Adriano Galati

"Nested in a two-story workshop within an ancient manufacturing neighbourhood, this space occupies the building's top floors, facing a new south-side garden park.

"The goal was to create an elegant, bold environment for an active, queer and collector couple. They sought a sanctuary to chill and host – a home that is calm yet audacious, fashionable yet timeless.

"To achieve this, the design features a large, semi-open area for entertaining, cooking and dancing, contrasted with a personal, cosy retreat for rest, fitness and work.

"This layout perfectly balances their creative energy with a need for intimacy."

Fashion Designer Personal Apartment by Sarah Kotrash

Fashion Designer Personal Apartment by Sarah Kotrash

"Located in Milan, this apartment reflects the identity of a 29-year-old fashion designer. The concept translates her daily connection with textures and materials into a vibrant, open-concept sanctuary.

"By emphasising liberty through transparent shapes and contrasting stones, the design mirrors her limitless creativity.

"The living area features a sophisticated dual-access layout. While the left axis connects the foyer to the balcony, the right side – the heart of the home's visual narrative – seamlessly bridges the living and dining spaces.

"This creates a clever physical division that preserves a continuous visual axis, perfect for hosting and showcasing a modern, audacious lifestyle."

Silvia's Home by Aikaterini Pantelidou

"Designed for a dynamic 36-year-old physician, this 70-square-metre residence balances clinical precision with domestic warmth.

"The interior serves as a restorative retreat from high-pressure hospital shifts, prioritising bright, well-organised spaces that facilitate energy recovery.

"The layout optimises functionality without sacrificing elegance, featuring a fluid living area tailored for hosting colleagues and friends.

"In contrast, the private quarters remain a serene, secluded haven for rest.

Render and Materials in Visualisation by Ulrieke Rütter

"This final project serves as a comprehensive portfolio, synthesising a year of advanced technical training into a professional-grade showcase.

"Centred on the 'Render and Material' discipline, the work demonstrates a mastery of light, texture and atmospheric precision.

"By applying a critical eye to architectural materials, textiles and glass, the project achieves hyper-realistic results using industry-standard software.

"The assignment highlights the duality of design: a wide-angle architectural perspective contrasted with an emotional, high-detail close-up.

"This collection bridges the gap between academic theory and the professional world, reflecting a deep understanding of light-matter interaction and visual storytelling."

Residential Apartment: The Warm Embrace by Ásdís Rósa

"Inspired by the comfort of a warm embrace, this residence is designed for a couple's first home.

"The interior balances a rich palette of deep colours with tactile natural materials. In the photo, what we can see is the dining area, anchored by a solid travertine cylinder table surrounded by classic mid-century modern chairs.

"Framed by soft linen curtains, the space is curated around two large-scale artworks that converse with each other.

"From the stone table to the glimpse of the green velvet sofa, every texture fosters connection – creating a sophisticated, soul-filled sanctuary for reading, conversation and quiet intimacy."

"Key highlights include a dedicated home office for focused work and a high-efficiency walk-in closet that maximises storage without compromising space.

"The design prioritises natural light and cross-ventilation through large-scale openings, ensuring a healthy, airy atmosphere.

"With a strategic dual-bathroom layout – featuring a private ensuite and a centrally accessible second bath – the home optimises every square metre for seamless, high-performance urban living."

Hotel Room – Hospitality and Office Space Design by Valeriia Sharhorodska

Hotel Room – Hospitality and Office Space Design by Valeriia Sharhorodska

"This hotel suite reimagines contemporary hospitality through a lens of dark, moody minimalism.

"The design is anchored by a low-profile bed set against a floor-to-ceiling textured timber headboard, flanked by deep-channelled acoustic wall panels.

"Two monumental stone-clad columns frame the entrance, providing a raw, architectural counterpoint to the refined interior. Linear track lighting draws the eye through the symmetrical layout, highlighting a curated selection of textures – from the knot-woven ottoman to the floating vanity.

"By prioritising a monochromatic palette and geometric precision, the suite offers a sophisticated, high-end sanctuary for the modern traveller."
