Spaces

One colour applied to the structural beam and the column that meets it. Everything else — white walls, terrazzo, plywood, grey — holds back. What looks like decoration turns out to be the spatial logic of the whole plan.

Tommaso Aliverti, Paolo Catrambone and Tommaso Sossi build a reversible civic pavilion in Milan where the green of the structural frame is the only colour decision the project needed to make.

Where green operates not as colour choice but as spatial grammar — each zone legible by hue before it can be identified by function.

A load-bearing wall comes down, a tiled island becomes an optical instrument, and colour does the organisational work that partitions might have done.

In a Riga courtyard formed by a century of layered construction, Sampling adds only what is necessary — and marks it in red.

Salvaged steel, bold colour, and a folding threshold — Marta Badiola and Jorge Pizarro rehabilitate 174 m² of industrial volume in Madrid to ask what a dwelling can be when it refuses to forget what it was.

Raw materials, deliberate void, and structural light — on the southern periphery of the city, a conversion project that refuses nostalgia and refuses decoration in equal measure.
