SHELFORDII-PLY
The central body consists of the luminaire, which emits a warm hue with an LED light source. The plywood petals are fixed around the luminaire; this way, they serve as a diffusor, as a tool to prevent eyesores caused by direct light, and provide the contour of the volume. The biomorphic structure gives an impression of an almost moving organism due to the playful composition that evolves into an interesting
Seethalerhütte of the Alpine Club Austria, Obertraun
Eine Schutzhütte und bewusst kein Panoramarestaurant auf 2.740m, am Rande des Hallstätter Gletschers, mitten im Naturschutzgebiet zwischen Hohen Dachstein und Dirndl. Die neue Schutzhütte ersetzt jene historische Seethalerhütte die 1929 ihren Ursprung hatte und nicht mehr saniert werden konnte.

Ark-shelter was asked to build a cluster of forest apartments for hotel Bjornson. The investor had a clear idea of one side-oriented double cabins, placed in the surrounding of the main hotel building, which made our design solution relatively straightforward. We consider the concept of placing the modules between the trees ecological, not only for the tree preservation but also for the minimum contact of the modules with the

Glass and natural wood are the principal facade elements.
Courtyard House Sebi, Niederndorf
The striking wooden structure stands on the edge of a closely parceled out new building area in Sebi. Due to a subtle hillside location through the relatively small corner property, it is easily accessible via a heavily frequented street that borders directly to the north. In order to die in this position, the building is an introverted courtyard house with other trigger points. The heart of the building: a protected,
SPRITZ
The SPRITZ project, in addition to being designed during the quarantine, is dedicated to it. During quarantine many were unable to leave the house for months. In those months, designer Filippo Mambretti felt the need to create a piece that would take advantage of small common spaces that had become monotonous and saturated with routine. SPRITZ is a box that turns into a coffee table with two comfortable stools inside.
