Design for a flat renovation in Finale Ligure
Together with Tommaso Arcangioli Architect AG has recently unveiled the project for a flat renovation in Finale Ligure.
Thanks to large foldable and sliding panels, the flat has been conceived to be as much flexible as possible.
The holiday flat becomes small, medium or large depending on the number of guests there are.
We are proud to have designed a three gradations of 5x5 blue mosaic floor to resemble a seascape in the flat.

Multi colour swan garden
Today AG has written to London's Mayor about the idea for a colourful barclay's parking bay.
Inspired by a few "yellow Tour de France bikes" seen recently in London, he is suggesting a "rainbow coloured parking bay".
The bike-sharing users would choose their favourite colour depending on their mood.
It would be possible even to see a rainbow moving in the street as well as the Endless random combination of colours either parked or in movement.
Fingers crossed, looking forward to see a multi-coloured swan garden in London!

Bauhaus Museum, Weimar
This is the proposal for the Bauhaus Museum in Weimar.
Design team: Domenico Cannistraci, Angelo Grasso, Eliana Mangione, Matteo Morlacchetti
Type: International Calls for Ideas
Location: Weimar
The visit at the new Bauhaus Museum starts with a walk in the woods where the building is immersed in.Starting from the lesson of the Bauhaus, the Museum is thought as a big workshop, where all the educational and entertaining functions are connected in a continuous space. The building is conceived like a circular compact volume in order to reduce energy supply.The entrance of the museum is located on the south side of its core, and after a walk under the large overhang, the visitors enter the foyer. From the foyer you can accede directly to most of the public functions of the museum. Via a big ramp, that climbs the core, you reach the first floor, where the exhibition main space is to be found. The exhibition path is a spiral which develops itself around the building’s core; meanwhile at the first floor, the viewable depots are located along a path that goes across the circular plan. The core, made out of concrete, is the thermal mass element which provides "inertia" against temperature fluctuations and, at the same time, hosting the stairs creates a chimney for ventilation. On the top floor of the building you find both the offices and the Café that has a terrace looking over the woods.The Café is conceived like a green house, meanwhile the office’s roof is covered by photovoltaic energy supply panels.

OGIP, proposal for The Olympic Games Information Pavilion, London. ACCA competition
Design team: Domenico Cannistraci, Angelo Grasso
Type: International Calls for Ideas
Location: London
Area of the Pavilion: 100 sqm
Together with Domenico Cannistraci Architect we have partecipated to Acca Competition, an international call for designing the Informations Pavilion during the next Olympic Games at Trafalgar Square in London.
Following some informations about the project:
The Olympic Games Information Pavilion embraces both the visitors with the Londoners during the Games.
The OGIP creates a public space into the public square, this by overlaying a monumental square.
The OGIPlands on the hearth of London and uses the natural pavement of the Square as its indoor floor.The functions are lined up in a transparent horizontal sequence describing an intimate courtyard.
This see-through basement spaced out by shining gold silver and brass wired curtains is sorrounded by the vertical vibration of the roof which hosts all the suspended equipments togheter with the b-side screen visible from the court as well as from the Trafalgar Square stairs.
The roof reproduces indeed the Mews scenario, inviting the visitors to discover the Olympic Games in a space in between local tradition and contemporary architecture.
Welcome to the Olympic Games.
Trichrome Art Gallery in Fulham road, London
AG is delighted to report a text just recieved from Trichrome Art Gallery
Basement: Stencil " the Gray will never end" design by Angelo Grasso
Ground-floor: the black book. A possible installation layout. Stencil by David Graham.
"It has been an extremely challenging experience because of the incredibly restricted budget we imposed ourselves.
So we decided to start up a process of coworking with architect Angelo Grasso trying to recycle any bit found in the existing space and trying to turn the gallery into an illustration itself, mainly by using the stencil art, one of the cheapest ways of expression.
Angelo Grasso suggested to overlay a geometrical pattern on both floors to enhance the hand drawing art of illustrations.
The black stripe at the groundfloor visible from large distance hosts the artworks and can be reconfigurated for any exhibition as the curators and the artists like.The hand by David Graham pierces the black paper and invites the visitors from outside to get in.
In the basement the red staircase seems to get birth from the endless red line of the Stencil Work "Gray will never end".

Flat in SW3, London
Here some pictures of a flat we did in SW3 in London.
Architect: Angelo Grasso
General Contractor: Edilco Limited
Furniture: AF Designs
Area: 90 sqm
Area: 90 sqm
The demolition showed up an interesting prefabricated concrete structure, indicating a new spatial disposition and lighting advices for the living room. The really weird thing was that the vertical partition just touched the bottom of the beams.
This the reason to enhance this character of the space enriching all the beams with deamerable lights.
The corridor partecipates to the ceiling rhythm with a sequence of vertical coloured stripes.
I have been asked to create an artwork on the existing door cabinet set. Together with the clients we decided to get inspirated by a Gio Ponti wall drawing contaminating it with the mat gray and the glossy red colours crossed by stripes.
Design: Angelo Grasso
Coating: M.Cozari, A Grasso
I have been asked to create a coloumn for a "dangerous corner" between two units I have designed for a room. Together with AF-designs we conceived this lamp instead.
A parallelepiped with circular holes is laying on a black base hiding a jewel box too.
The unit for the masterbedroom hides secret spaces and functions. At the same time its superglossy petrol colour reflects the view of London roofs.
