Sunstudy

The change in level between the entrance and the central living area reflects the gradual increase in elevation of the site towards the west direction. Northern clerestories make use of the prevailing northwest wind for natural ventilation. To avoid excessive heat gain, windows in the south are restrained.

CONCEPT STATEMENT

Theprojecttakesinspirationfromthebrand’ssymbolic8-pointstarmotifthat appeared on the entrance floor of Bvlgari’s first shop in 1884. The star representation of cardinal directions, harmony, balance, and cosmic order is used to define the structural elements and wayfinding of the space. Using Gestalt psychology, the space manipulates the shapes, forms, planes, and patterns derived from the star motif to create memorable mental notes of landmarks,andnodesthatelevatethepresenceofthemerchandise.

As Bvlgari's design style consists of daring, bold, and innovative traits that are balanced between classic and modern motifs, the concept embraces the brand's exploratory and adventurous approach while honouring traditional principles that can be tracedbacktoancientGreeceandRome.
