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

"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.

"By merging practical minimalism with a welcoming aesthetic, the design transforms a compact footprint into a sophisticated, soul-filled sanctuary for a modern, independent lifestyle."

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."

"The design centres on a velvet-tufted bed set against an intricate walnut feature wall with geometric gold inlays and 3D textured panels.

"Integrating a boutique-inspired walk-in closet, the space utilises precision LED lighting and dark wood finishes to elevate the ritual of dressing.

"A spectacular crystal chandelier and an ornate gold mirror bridge the gap between contemporary craftsmanship and classical glamour.

"Organic shapes and natural materials guide a layout where rooms flow seamlessly, fostering a sense of calm continuity. Soft curves and warm tones enhance the comfort of the space, while thoughtful organisation ensures functionality.

AV Living by Vivien Danja

"Located in Amsterdam's Houthavens district, this residence masterfully balances social interaction with refined privacy.

"The layout masterfully zones the vibrant kitchen and dining hub away from the tranquil sleeping quarters.

"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

"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."

"The design breathes new life into the original structure, merging mid-century charm with a timeless, contemporary aesthetic.

"Defined by warm, neutral tones and a sophisticated, minimalist curation, the space balances comfort with elevated style.
