Our main challenge was to design a versatile space adaptable to diverse programs. Situated in Buenos Aires’ vibrant Palermo neighborhood, renowned for its youthful energy and thriving gastronomy and retail scene.
The main space features a double height that aims to serve as a container for a wide variety of activities and exhibitions. When this space is empty its ornamental elements are highlighted, but while it’s in use what grab the main focus are the displayed elements.
The aesthetic of industrial and raw materials was chosen to merge with the homogeneity and purity of white. From the outside, the glass-covered façade features this quality inviting anyone who passes by to stop and contemplate it.
The lighting design was considered to be a crucial point for the project. In this way, we can differentiate between elements with a scenographic porpoise such as the big cube hanging from the double height. Those with a general lighting function, such as the linear lights, and those with a highlighting role, such as the central ring and the integrated light on the furniture.
The equipment should serve as exhibition elements as well as storage devices. As a result, scaffold-like structures were assembled to provide the possibility to adopt different configurations depending on the user’s necessity and the different programs that the space can accommodate.
