The whole team works in close collaboration with the clients, developing the architectural and interior design parts in synergy, thus managing to combine spaces and materials to create elements tailored to every need.
Antonio Di Maro graduated in architecture, studying sustainable design and the connection between architecture and nature. In 2011 he began working in the public administration on projects of a different nature.
Since 2012 he has collaborated with masters such as Juan Manuel Palerm Salazar, Mario Cucinella, Studio OMA, ARUP Italia and Luciano Pia. He is an active member of INBAR (National Institute of Bioarchitecture).
In 2013 he designed a master plan in Iraq (Al-Maradi). In 2014 he obtained the II level Master's degree on the energy efficiency of the existing real estate assets at Federico II.
"Mediante la spasmodica ricerca dell’essenzialità, realizzata attraverso la purezza delle linee e degli spazi, l’architettura è privata di ogni elemento superfluo."
\"Green thinking\" and nature are the generating elements of the project, which are revealed through the controlled use of light and the experimentation of new materials.
A beautifully reorganized and decorated interior not only improves functionality, but also creates a mood and highlights the personality of the family living in the home. Pay attention to these three key ingredients - functionality, atmosphere, and personality - as they ensure design success.
Before the work, it is advisable to spend some time thinking about the way the house will be lived in. Consulting magazines and coming up with various ideas is certainly a good start. Collecting elements that make you feel good and carefully studying the colours, shapes or combinations is an excellent starting point for the mood you are trying to create. Let's start with the functionality:
For proper interior design, setting up a space means much more than simply creating visual impact: it means making a room truly functional for your needs.
Here's how you can do it, element by element:
The focal point: Sometimes rooms have natural focal points (focal points are what the view focuses on when entering the room) – a fireplace, a window with a view, perhaps even a bookcase. If your room doesn't have a natural focal point, creating one with an art piece or colorful rug is a great idea.
The furniture: Determine whether the furniture fulfills the functions you have planned for the room. If a piece is not functional, or if it is too large or too small for the size of the room, getting rid of it or selling it is a must, before thinking of something else that may be more appropriate.
The lighting: Lighting in an interior design project should be selected according to the room's functions as well as visual impact. Each space requires both direct lamp light and indirect lighting that allows conversation or TV viewing. Accent lighting - colored spots on the floor, spotlights, and strategically placed lights - enhances the room's texture, color, and details.
Furniture layout: The room should be drawn on graph paper. Power outlets and switches, vents, windows, and doors should be carefully measured and marked. Then measure the furniture and place it on the floor plan. In general, the main furniture pieces should face the focal point while keeping main circulation paths open. It is also important to imagine the room and include items you do not currently own but still want to add. Also balance tall objects with low ones, and \"heavy\" pieces with \"light\" ones.
A room's mood is created by your color choices, furnishing style, the amount of textures and patterns selected, and accessories. Since there is so much to think about when creating mood, defining a theme through the choice of an inspiration element can make this part of the design process much more fun and interesting. Here are the factors to consider when setting a mood:
The inspiration element: The absolute easiest way to decorate is to start with some inspiration. A decorative pillow, a scarf and even a magazine are good places to start. The element of inspiration must be selected wisely, and must evoke good feelings when you look at it. It is the basis for choosing the theme, colors, patterns and textures.
Theme: A theme must be developed from the analysis of the element of inspiration. For example, a pillow embroidered with a botanical design on a black background can inspire a title like “botanical garden.” Being detailed with your theme selection will support the conception of new ideas. Botanical prints, striped walls, green or floral colors, classic furniture, dark woods and black elements all fit this particular theme.
Color ideas: the color must always support the theme. Many times, the colors that are most appropriate are found in the patterns and design of the inspiration item. In general, it is best to choose three colors in a room: one dominant color, used for walls, carpet and wallpapers; a secondary color, found throughout the room in fabrics and accessories; and a more vibrant color, used sparingly to give energy and vigor to the room.
Patterns: Stripes, checks, florals, and similar patterns are just some of the options to support the theme. Everything works if you follow these rules: keep the same background color; make sure all patterns share the same colors; vary the scale or size of the patterns.
Texture: Objects that are too smooth and shiny or elements that are too rustic become tiring.
Furniture: In addition to being functional, furniture plays an important role in supporting the theme. Some pieces may work well, but their style or color may not be suitable. If some elements are difficult to integrate, they should be removed from the room.
