Fogon, designed by the Hitzig Militello Arquitectos, is a bar interior design with typical traditional London tavern and pub aesthetics. In order to do so, the team looked for concepts of the spirit of traditional British taverns, without falling into typical resources, nor losing the focus of the idea of a classic European restaurant with a contemporary artistic touch. The proposal was based on the idea of resorting to materials that define this architectural aesthetic, although far from reproducing, they decided to extirpate only its DNA: “The windows of iron window frames and bare bricks. The idea was to interlace through an interior skin system that covered all the walls and the most outstanding functional spaces.

Orchid Piccadilly is an office designed by the interior design firm FADD Studio with the concept of minimalism and sophistication. Free of fuss and opulence, it makes a statement of less is more. Solid pastel linen textured wallpapers, oak wood, and cement tiles are the primary material. The use of several verticals carefully positioned gives the space a theatrical feel in a minimal way, making it seems like the screens would almost slide open and expose a different set. This is evident when one sees the entirety of the compositions from the outside. The multiplicity of these partitions allows each colour to stand out vividly and also sets the tones for a customer coming in to view the apartments that lie above. The marketing office gives a little taste of practicality, functionality and affordability in union with aesthetics; all the things one wants in their home.
