Incomplete project foundations
Penzis Bettini Architekten approached us at an early project stage, with foundational inputs not yet fully detailed, offering significant interpretative freedom. This challenge required creativity and close collaboration to refine and implement ideas. Our long-standing partnership with Penzis Bettini Architekten was enriching, leveraging our ability to understand nuanced architectural details and contribute meaningfully. They value our skills in reading between the lines, architectural sensitivity, and proactive thinking, making us well-equipped to tackle such challenges.
Gradual approach to achieving the optimal visual ambiance
In shaping the visual world, we initially explored a wide range of moods. Through close collaboration with Penzis Bettini Architekten, we gradually refined the optimal visual ambiance. During multiple meetings, we discussed interim results and progressively defined details like accessory placement through intense and creative exchanges. The resulting visualizations are expressive and painterly, creating a lively atmosphere through objects alone, without depicting people.
