Contemporary travertine and oak living room with floor-to-ceiling daylight
Interior Architecture — Est. 2014

SpaceswithCharacter

Interior environments shaped by material, proportion and light — for people who intend to live in them for a long time.

002 — Studio

We designthe spacebetweenform andlife.

FORMAE is an interior architecture practice working across residential, hospitality and commercial environments. We begin with structure and daylight, not decoration.

Every project is drawn to the millimetre and built with a small circle of stonemasons, joiners and plasterers we have worked with for a decade.

Casa Nera

MilanResidential2026
01

Arrival

A single door, a bench of stone, one measured shaft of light.

02

Living

Curved plaster holds the room; the furniture stays low and quiet.

03

Dining

A solid walnut plane, four metres long, lit from a single point.

04

Bedroom

Oak wraps the head of the room; linen softens the morning.

05

Bathroom

Travertine carved into one continuous, monolithic gesture.

06

Detail

The shadow gap — where two materials agree to disagree.

Form

Travertine and limestone, honed rather than polished, so light lands softly.

European oak and walnut, oiled, chosen leaf by leaf for grain continuity.

Linen, boucle and raw plaster — surfaces that record touch and time.

Daylight is drawn first. Fixtures are the last, quietest layer.

Sculptural volumes that hold a room together without raising their voice.

How a room begins

00

Discover

Site, light, habits. We measure how you actually live before we draw.

00

Define

A spatial brief: proportion, adjacency, atmosphere — agreed before aesthetics.

00

Design

Plans, sections and material studies developed as one composition.

00

Detail

Junctions, shadow gaps, joinery. The project is decided at 1:1.

00

Deliver

On site weekly with makers until the last surface meets the drawing.

010 — Studio

Designbeginswithlistening.

Our atelier is small by choice — nine people, one long table, and a wall of samples. We take on six projects a year so that each one is drawn, detailed and supervised by the people who first sat down with you.
