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

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.

CHAPEAU

I am glad to present this artistic istallation I took part in as exhibition designer for Antonino Rizzo Artist at Museo Guttuso in Bagheria, Italy. 

500 black and white hats were hanging on trasparent wires to pay homage to the Cinema's history.

Istallation: Chapeau

Location: Sala dei Manifesti Museo Guttuso, Bagheria, Italy

Artist: Antonino Rizzo

Exhibition designer and istallation: Antonino Rizzo, Angelo Grasso

Landmark. Vertical vs Horizontal

Proposal for the 11 th Arquine International call for ideas for the FARO, Arts and Craft Factory, Mexico

Design: Angelo Grasso 

Client: Arquine 

Year: 2008 

Location: Mexico DF
Area: 100 sqm

Mexico City. On the 50th anniversary of the Satélite Towers (1958) designed by Luis Barragán and Mathias Goertiz, ARQUINE announced its 11th International Competition, proposing the design of a“FARO of Satélite” in the plaza where the towers are located. The towers depict the verticality of this huge landscape. Landmark is the contrast to the verticality of the landscape.It is a burrow which redefines the public space of the large plaza preserving the view of the Satelites Towers. 

Landmark gets up for designing the Arts and Craft Factory space, an architecture conceived as a sprawl of facilities which designs ad defines itself a more intimate open public space. Landmark walls are indeed the graffity workshop, a place for the people, a changeable background for the cityscape.

The Landmark walls facing the City host a permanent graffiti workshop. The walls facing the coutyard will be the result of a process of partecipation between Designers and Cityzens.

View of the courtyard of the Center.

The idea is to develop a workshop to design the walls of the center facilities. This is a simulation.
