Project No. 825: Where Every Decision Becomes a Signature

  • Apr 14
  • 3 min read

Updated: Apr 29

Some projects push boundaries; others redefine them entirely. Project No. 825 belongs to the latter. Developed, structured, and refined over more than two years, this residence moves beyond the conventional framework of the single-family home to become a masterclass in intentional living.

A Language of Precision

From the moment of arrival, the language of the space is established through deliberate lines and resolved perspectives. The architecture does not merely sit on the site; it orchestrates a seamless and intuitive spatial flow.


  • Orchestrated Transitions: Openings and circulation paths are designed to guide the eye.

  • Natural Luminosity: Sunlight is used as a tool to reveal the exact precision of each volume.

  • Intuitive Flow: The transition between rooms feels less like a walk and more like a curated journey.


Materiality as an Anchor

On the main floor, materiality takes a leading role. Granite, expressed through the backsplash and fireplace surround, emerges as a defining gesture. It does not simply complete the space—it anchors it.


The residence is composed of carefully curated elements that balance iconic design with custom craftsmanship. Each piece is placed with intention, integrating into a composition that feels both refined and inevitable:


  • Iconic Comfort: The Togo by Ligne Roset.

  • Bespoke Illumination: Custom lighting by Bocci and Flos.

  • Italian Elegance: Furnishings by Cattelan.



The Invisible Architecture

What is visible to the eye is only a fraction of the total work. Behind every surface lies a layered process of decision-making, from exact proportions and alignments to complex system integration.


The firm’s role in this project extended far beyond basic design. It involved the structuring, anticipation, and orchestration of the project in its entirety. This approach ensured absolute coherence, bridging the gap between visual beauty and technical excellence.


Cinematic Intimacy

In the basement, the atmosphere shifts. The environment becomes more intimate and immersive—almost cinematic. Here, contrasts deepen and textures emerge, using light with specific intention to shape a distinct yet cohesive lower level.


This space serves as a direct expression of the clients’ passion. Every element is integrated with precision and without excess, resulting in a composition that is both balanced and assured.



A Mastered Testament

Project No. 825 stands as a testament to what is possible when every decision is considered, structured, and mastered from the very beginning. What is visible today is only a glimpse into the depth of its execution.


Project Credits

The execution of such a residence is deeply rooted in the broader philosophy of Nob Design, a studio that approaches interior design as a mission to transform standard rooms into meaningful, human-centred environments. Beyond mere aesthetics, the studio’s work is the result of deep reflection and research, specializing in significant residential transformations such as major renovations and the complex conversion of duplexes into single-family homes.


This process is governed by a rigorous four-stage turnkey methodology that begins with discovery and inspiration, where specific human needs are identified to establish a cohesive aesthetic foundation. This vision then moves into a conceptualization phase, bringing ideas to life through precise material selection and high-fidelity 3D modelling that allows for a preview of the final atmosphere. The technical execution follows, involving the development of detailed plans and drawings that serve as an accurate roadmap for every professional involved.


Finally, the studio maintains an active and observant presence throughout the construction phase, managing the site, timelines, and final decorative touches to ensure the project reaches its full potential. Ultimately, Nob Design strives for simplicity through structure, handling every technical and logistical complexity so that the beauty and functionality of the space can truly take center stage.
