Music Studio Interior DesignEffigy Studios | Ferndale, Michigan | inFORM Studio

The nature of the recording studio is one of isolation, both figuratively and physically. Three major wrappings (Control, Isolation and Dispersion) have been introduced into the existing structure to address both the isolation and sound quality needs. Two smaller insertions (the vocal isolation booth and the courtyard) create focused moments in the project, pieces that address the quality of the space aside from the technical sound needs. The architectural interventions do not extend past the edges of the found object - they are completely contained by the container. There is little to no indication upon approach to the project of the internal interventions that create the functional spaces. The first room entered, the event room, is a large multiuse space. It is conceived, conceptually, as exterior. The true front elevation and major entrance threshold is approached only after stepping through the initial skin of the existing entrance. The event space is an interstitial space, non-programmed and transitional. From this volume, the core of the studio can be accessed through a significant threshold which occupies the same location as the present cut in the masonry wall. Light floods into this space from erosion of the walls surrounding the courtyard.....more

Office Interior Design | Netherlands Embassy in Madrid | Madrid | Spain

Interior of the new offices of the Netherlands embassy in Madrid, housed on the 36th and 37th floor of the Pei Cobb Freed and partners-designed Torre Espacio skyscraper. At this level, the tower has a lens-shaped floor plan, so that the interior has a configuration with a lot of curved outlines. Furthermore, in accordance with cepezed-philosophy the embassy interior has been designed with a lot of transparancy, so that the grand views over the city and its surroundings are almost omnipresent. As other embassies of the Netherlands' Crown, the post in Madrid has also been decorated with an abundance of Dutch art and Dutch design furniture.....more

Office Interior Design | AMP Circular Quay | Sydney, Australia | Architectus

Our challenge was to provide AMP with an international standard meeting facility, while meeting their brief on issues such as disabled access, occupational health and effect on the environment.

Through a thorough briefing process with different views of the proposed facility, various different applications and scale of facilities were discussed and agreed.

Architectus designed the floor to maximise flexibility and included conference, lecture, training and informal areas within this heritage listed space.

Showroom Interior Design | VERSTEEL | New York City | SPG

This showroom, located in the New York Design Center at 200 Lexington Avenue, is the first NYC venue for Versteel. As one of several showrooms on the same floor, the space was designed to provide visual simplicity and subtly invite curiosity. Schedule and budgetary constraints dictated the creative use of easily installed elements and finishes. Visitors are drawn into the space by a stainless steel and glass wall sheathed in a film which, when seen obliquely, appears translucent, but when viewed directly, appears transparent. Overhead lights and internally lit custom furniture plinths provide points of dramatic focus while a poured acrylic floor coating provides reflective depth to the existing concrete slab......more

Museum Interior Design | Sterling Millwork | Farmington Hills, Michigan | inFORM Studio

Conceived as a museum of millwork, the interior forms within the office space are presented as artistic sculptures that are visually independent but collectively define space. Each artistic gesture is an avatar of the craftsmen's talent in a particular material or medium. The sculptures are holistic and penetrations within the sculptures are controlled by elements inherent to the sculpture itself. The insertions are intertwined to define space and provide cohesion between elements, while maintaining their individuality. The interior gallery imposes itself upon the exterior, eroding the northwest corner of the existing structure to form a new entry and picture window. Symbolizing a regenerative process similar to the peeling of skin, the exterior articulation embodies a stripping away of the old existing membrane, revealing a fresh layer beneath. Recladding the exterior soffit with patina copper panels and cladding the exposed wall surface with tarnished copper panels reveals the evolutionary attributes of construction materials. Simultaneously, the new exterior insertions allude to the exuberance of the interior when unified with the picture window, bringing the gallery to the street. The plan is composed to afford an observer from the exterior a view through the entire public space, with the reception area receiving special prominence within a framed aperture. ....more

Office Interior Design | enovate IT | Ferndale, Michigan | inFORM Studio

A woven set of interventions permeate a 50's industrial building rekindling life into an adaptive reuse project with flexible programming, establishing a quality of workspace out of what, to most, seemed limited potential. The sequence of movement is expressed by contiguous formal articulations that relate more to circulation and a hierarchy of spatial definition (public vs. private), than their pure autonomous definition. The strategy of spatial quality has proven effective as two entirely independent corporations have organized their operations within the spaces as designed in lieu of redesign to meet conventional thinking.

The first was a North American headquarters for an Italian automotive designer, the second and current tenant of the space, Enovate IT, is a company specializing in mobile computerized systems integration dedicated to the healthcare sector......more

Corporate Interior | Patrick Corporation | Walsh Bay, NSW, Australia | Architectus

Patrick Corporation came to Architectus Interiors with a brief to create a contemporary interior for their executive office space within the parameters of a heritage building.

Our design solution sought to maximise the structure and nature of the pier building, while providing Patrick Corporation with new facilities and a clear identity.

The unique harbour views are maximized by uncluttered open plan offices and glazed meeting rooms allowing the maritime nature of Patrick's business to be brought into focus and supporting the organisations democratic culture.

Patrick's occupation of Pier 8/9 Walsh Bay successfully blended the needs of a very progressive and modern firm within the fabric of a heritage building and delivered the message "Our work is as old as time, but the way we do it steps into the future".....more
