PROJECTS

Sawerdo Bakery & Coffee the rebirth of socializing post-pandemic

After the years of the pandemic, we had all reached a certain level of distrust. The launch of the Sawerdo Bakery & Coffee project by the architectural firm BUREAU in 2022 stemmed from the fear that bringing people together around a table could become a risky occasion.

Maison Molaire and flexible design for the contemporary family

The search for design for the contemporary family continues: life today is unpredictable and the types of inhabitants are much less standardized than in the past. And the homes? The interiors of Maison Molaire are a new answer

MARIA. A house with a fluid identity, designed without prejudice

A renovation project that is a clear and profound reflection on standardization, not only of spaces, but also and above all of their users. MARIA is a space that seeks an alternative to "memojization"

FLOATING REALITIES: THE ART OF FLOATATION IN THE DESIGN OF A MODERN SPA

Floating Realities: the art of flotation in the design of a modern spa.

The Floating Realities project, created by the architecture studio BUREAU, is an innovative and creative design project for the renovation of a wellness center located in Geneva. Completed in 2020, the work for the SPA renovation spans an area of 190 square meters and aims to offer an immersive experience to users. The architects explore the concept of sensory experience through the relationship between the environment and the floating of the naked body in saltwater.

Architectural project on a small, complex site. Mirrors and curved lines for larger spaces

Bureau Daniel Zamarbide studio addresses the design of a bar on a restricted site, which seems to be larger thanks to small design features such as colours, the use of curved lines, perspective or the use of mirrors

Sensitive restructuring in Lisbon. Modernity echoes the Portuguese context

The Dodged House in Lisbon, renovated by the Bureau Daniel Zamarbide studio, has a very distinctive modernity, based on its practice, the reflection of the Portuguese context in which it is located and characterised by a contemplative void inside.

Carefully designed interior. Perceptive richness enhances the living experience

The Bureau Daniel Zamarbide studio, through the study of domestic spaces, renovates a chalet starting from the design of its interior, completely covered in birch wood, creating new spatial connections
