How to furnish and organise a studio apartment
Furnishing and organising a studio takes smart planning and creativitiy to make the most of the available space and create a functional and welcoming environment. In this article we will look at various strategies for interior design and layout to make a studio practical, comfortable and stylish. Everything must be arranged correctly to guarantee easy and efficient flow and circulation in the space. We architects must plan the layout (such as of the living area, the kitchen and the sleeping area) in order to optimise movement and accessibility. Given the limited size of a studio, it is important to design a space that can adapt to the changing needs and lifestyles of its users.

This time, ten architecture studios from around Rome were invited to hold a party at their workplaces: we at FAD naturally agreed at once!

Choosing the Right Flooring for Your Home
Choosing the right flooring for your home is an important decision, and involves more than just its aesthetic appearance. The floor adds to the atmosphere and style of a room, and also impacts the practical nature of the space. However, it's also a part of the decor that is hardest to replace, so it needs to last as long as possible. There are many questions you should ask yourself, because the atmosphere of the house can be completely altered by your choice of floor. And there are also some apparently minor but important factors to take into account when making your choice. For example, should each room have the same type of flooring? Are there any children or pets in the house? Is it a bright or dark house?

Walk-In Wardrobe Vs Traditional Wardrobe

Let's have a look at the features that will help you decide which solution is best for you.

The lack of transport infrastructure in Rome
Rome is the capital city of Italy, well-known as the eternal city, its millennial history, timeless art, and vibrant culture. Despite its high prestige and charm, the city suffers from a noticeable lack of transport infrastructures compared to other European capitals, in particular in the underground sector. This deficit has significant repercussions on the life quality of the citizens and on the efficiency of the urban mobility.

Greenwashing and sustainable architecture
Sustainability as we know it today is a means to compensate for many years of unrestrained and unscrupulous industrial growth which has caused serious harm to the environment. In these times of rapid climate change, there is a pressing need for us all to accept responsibility and try to mitigate the effects of global warming on an individual level. There is undoubtedly a greater level of awareness, but given the complexity of the issue, a broader and more structured reasoning must be applied: what we buy derives from a global production chain, and this can be said of all sorts of things from everyday products to the purchase or construction of property.

Home Automation and the Smart Home
If our present is technological, imagine what our future will be like! From smaller tasks, such as opening the curtains and turning on the lights, to more complex technological functions, home automation is making great strides in terms of performance, leading to a continuous growth in the Smart Home market. One area of growth is the use of technology to monitor energy consumption, enabling us to manage resources in a more careful and eco-friendly way. This also helps families manage their household expenses, as having control over consumption leads to savings on energy bills.

Verandas, Bioclimatic greenhouses, Pergolas & Canopies
The implementation of a roofing in the outdoor spaces of a house, such as balconies, gardens and terraces, often involve a complete change to the environment that is transformed from an open area in a closed one. Anyway, this does not imply that the outdoor area becomes an indoor space, but rather that a new hybrid space is being created, where indoor and outdoor features melt. The result is an "outdoor room" that can be used in any season and in any weather condition.

Beach design
"The bathing-hut is a smaller house, it is a reduction of the house, it is the idea of the house", by A. Rossi This is how Aldo Rossi referred to his walk-in wardrobes inspired to the bathing-hut structures he saw during his travels to the Island of Elba. He believed these structures represented "a minimum dimension of living, a feeling of summer". We might think that bathing-huts and structures built along the coasts to serve the holiday-makers have a little aesthetic value, or worse that they have a poor aesthetic value, and that their presence is not always necessary.

Urban regeneration, between squares and tactical urbanism
We usually associate the word "architecture" to buildings, bridges, and monuments, all three-dimensional elements that made up our cities. What we always forget and take for granted is the void created between these elements. It is does not matter if these areas are alleys, large avenues, gardens, or squares, they are essential elements to live the urban life in a pleasant and functional way. They are the stage of our everyday life, able to adapt to times and the way we use them.

A garden on the balcony: an intimate space for your home
During the warmer months, balconies, smallbalconies, and terraces may be an extremely comfortable space for our homes, even essential for someone; however, they are often used as an external boxroom thus losing their true potential. Especially in the cities, where owning a small garden is almost impossible, the balcony offers the opportunity to create a unique space for yourself at home. Regardless of the available space, it can be transformed into a small living room, a relaxing garden, or a corner dedicated to outdoor lunches and dinners. The most important thing is to optimize the spaces keeping in mind your final objective.

The great value of plants in interior design
In recent years, nature has been taking back its spaces almost everywhere, both indoor and outdoor. A greenery explosion of succulent plants, ferns, aromatic and exotic plants which conquer spaces in restaurants, offices, and shops, as well as in the social media. This is much more than a temporary fashion, it is a real awareness of humankind about the importance of restoring the dignity of nature. Indoor plants have a great functional and aesthetic value; in addition of being decorative, they reduce noise pollution, improve the air quality, and help you to deal with stress.

The reception and the waiting room: the business card of every company
Whether we are talking of an independent or shared property, an office requires a number of other private and common spaces, such as utility rooms, storages, and other services. However, the design of the entrance used to welcome customers and guests is certainly the most important part. Users will be welcomed by these spaces: the reception and the waiting room that can be created as a single environment, or as two different environments in case the area allows it.

The kitchen is undoubtedly the quintessential environment of our homes, we live it daily for cooking or simply to have a snack or enjoy conviviality moments. However, designing a kitchen is not as easy as it seems as it must be composed of three distinct areas.

Make the garden of your dreams come true
Until a few decades ago, the garden was simply regarded as an external area almost unrelated to the dynamics of the house, while it is becoming more and more important nowadays.

Architecture: not only shapes but colours too
In his system named "Architectural Polychromy", the great Le Corbusier studied and defined 63 different shades for the design of colour in architecture; he subsequently organised them in "a system", according to their shades, harmony, and their possible infinite combination modalities.

What is architecture?
What is architecture? The question of questions with no absolute answer. Essayists, writers, architects, everybody has given - and still gives - a different meaning to both the architecture and to its surrounding world; architecture has been defined in many different ways: art, profession, culture, knowledge, emotion. A proper definition would be rather reductive, but we will try to review all the elements that shape it and give it substance.
