SELECTED WORK - NINETEEN D

Architecture

Nineteen follows the notion of translation; translation from a traditional dwelling situated in one of the most prominent old fishing villages in Malta, Spinola Bay, into a contemporary residence. An intervention that is relevant to present times, whilst retaining the character of the existing architectural elements. The patio serves as the focal point of the proposal, with the design enlarging it and creating a light box that pierces through all four levels of the house. A minimal curtain system allows for flexibility in opening and closing the space, turning walls into full apertures while also concealing the elevator.

Interior design

The interior design proposal draws inspiration from the traditional Italian palazzo style guidelines. The materials used, such as travertine, plaster, and limestone, are showcased in different levels, aligning with the original house features and balancing the space. A neutral colour palette creates a timeless canvas for the users to inject their own personal style, such as art and vintage furniture pieces.

The resulting space is a beautiful integration of the past and present, preserving the historic character of the dwelling while adding contemporary touches. The patio and light box serve as innovative design elements, bringing in natural light and creating an inviting atmosphere that is both warm and modern. The interior design employs classic materials and a neutral colour palette, offering a versatile canvas for personal expression and style.
