Extraordinary shapes
ARCHIVE
A retreat among stories

Concept visualisation · Final design by commission
A roof recalling the pages of a book shelters a small liveable library. Archivio brings together reading, rest and unhurried conversation.
The next page can wait.
An open book, a reading light and the garden beyond the glass. Stories accompany everyday rituals, from the first coffee to the final chapter.
- Proposed atmosphere
- Dark timber, bookshelves, burgundy velvet and warm light.
- Possible uses
- A private library, writing studio or literary stay.
- Conceived for
- Readers, writers, book collectors and cultural hosts.
A proposal for atmosphere and layout. The envelope, usable area, circulation and occupancy are developed for the intended use and site; these concept images are not construction drawings.
Every piece is developed to order. Your proposal defines dimensions, equipment, autonomy, transport and assembly for your plot and intended use. Images show a design concept, not a completed building.
