Nestled along the Brooklyn Waterfront, overlooking the East River and Manhattan Skyline, the Kent Avenue penthouse apartment is one of its kind; New York’s industrial vibe meets soft minimalism and tactile materials in this urban retreat above the vibrating city.

The client did not have specific design requirements but emphasized the importance of aesthetically pleasing results while adhering to heritage preservation and lighting regulations. ewo and its partners have taken on the task of not only enhancing the beauty of the structure with a new lighting system but also reducing glare and minimizing stray light, ensuring visual comfort and safety for visitors to this public space.

Birmingham boasts a strong industrial heritage, clearly reflected in the design and aesthetics of the new headquarters of the ARUP Multinational Group, and reinforced by the lighting design concept. The design requirement was to create sustainable, flexible, and inspiring office spaces that meet the needs of the people who work here, both now and in the future.

An extraordinary space. The interior design of MOSH Bar&Dinner in the heart of Bucharest exudes the pride of an impressive concept of a stunning, soft and seamless space that transitions between the feelings of haute cuisine, cocktail performances and vibrant dance floor. This concept is a combination of hospitality, art, design, in a very unique way.

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Michael Anastassiades' design, let's revisit this wonderful design and its versions, set in the context of the Barcelona Pavilion, Mies Van Der Rohe, the subtle harmonious presence of a design that is both iconic and powerful.

The innovative microdrink manufacturer Waterdrop decided to offer its team and visitors a particularly pleasant atmosphere at its headquarters, the elaborately renovated historic Gösserhalle in Vienna. The industrial building was built by the Austrian Federal Railways before 1900 as a workshop building and later used by the Gösser brewery as a beer warehouse.

A villa on a hillside presents itself as an understated, modern elegance. The choice of materials and colors is a nod to the facade and the exterior space - for example, the use of natural stone and soft neutral tones.

Formerly a royal residence, the Château de Villers-Cotterêts has undergone numerous transformations throughout its history. Nevertheless, the castle retains many traces of its rich Renaissance decoration. The building's restructuring was entrusted to the Chief Architect of Historical Monuments, Olivier Weets, while the Projectiles studio was responsible for the interior design and scenography for the permanent collection area.

Opening the private elevator doors of the Penthouse reveals a 'Black Box,' an entrance characterized by a monochromatic black palette. The floors and walls are clad in 'Nero Antico' black marble, while the ceiling features black wooden slats. White Carrara terrazzo flooring, robust stainless-steel blocks, and white walls create a beautiful backdrop for displaying art. Here is Rashid Johnson's 'Cosmic Slop,' reaching from floor to ceiling, and there are two paintings by Lucio Fontana and Wade Guyton. The penthouse has become an art gallery.

The fusion of Danish design classics and new bespoke solutions. A tribute to what was and what is now, the design team found great inspiration from the Danish painter Ebba Nina Beck Carstensen, while constantly searching for contrasting materials, styles, etc., allowing viewers to embark on a fascinating journey through different rooms.

A vivid example of harmonious integration between architecture and architectural lighting.

This luxurious private residence in France has undergone meticulous renovation, with every corner and detail of the villa completely transformed.

Lighting is a decisive factor in the design of a living space. It affects the atmosphere, emotions, and lifestyles of each individual. A lighting solution will help to achieve a balanced and harmonious integration between lighting and interior, and that lighting achieves both functional and aesthetic requirements at the same time. Ultimately, the right lighting solution will transform a living space into a place of relaxation and peace.

The newly built Maria Ward School in Nuremberg is a school without dark corners. It is characterized by a bright, daylit foyer for contemplation and exchange, and a continuous guidance system. This creates an inspiring learning environment that encourages students to reach their full potential.

Flos debuts Céramique, a collection of three sculptural lamps designed by Ronan Bouroullec using ceramics. This collection represents a fusion of the French designer's emotionally-driven approach to volume and form with Flos's commitment to innovation.

We had the opportunity to visit him at his home in Paris, to witness Céramique in that intimate setting and to fully appreciate his passion for this material and its powerful potential.

The philosophy of this project – and Elke Van Goel:

“Less is more; in architecture and interior design, you have to let the natural, organic elements speak for themselves.”

The result is a spacious living room, an open space with different areas to welcome conversations, adapted to the homeowner's needs.
