The inspiration for the Marbella design comes from the captivating contrast of city lights and the client's passion for Asian style. Gerard Puxhe, the designer, drew inspiration from the vibrant streets and the client's love for Asian aesthetics. The concept and final design of Marbella perfectly convey the client's lifestyle and create a harmonious blend of modernity and cultural influences.
One of the standout features of the Marbella design is the use of light as the main actor in the interior. The living room is adorned with a large geometric drawing made with LED lighting, covering the walls and ceiling. This lighting installation evokes the image of a massive cage, inspired by the bustling cityscape. The contrast between the white space and the vibrant color palette of the furniture creates a visually striking ambiance. The addition of outdoor plants adds a touch of natural beauty and further enhances the overall harmony of the space.
Functionality and clean space were essential considerations for the client, and the Marbella design delivers on both fronts. The open layout seamlessly integrates the living and dining areas, while still maintaining their individual zones. The kitchen, also located on the same floor, completes the functional flow of the space. The property spans 300 square meters and is distributed over two floors, with three bedrooms and a swimming pool.
To bring the lighting cage to life, LED technology was chosen for its flexibility and functionality. This technology allows for the creation of intricate lighting designs while providing the necessary illumination for the space. The Marbella design showcases the seamless integration of technology and aesthetics.
Creating the Marbella design presented its fair share of challenges. The primary challenge was to evoke the concept of a massive cage in a functional and feasible way. Through meticulous research and innovative problem-solving, Gerard Puxhe was able to overcome this challenge and create a design that not only meets the client's requirements but also exceeds their expectations.
The Marbella design is a testament to Gerard Puxhe's ability to create functional and visually stunning interiors. The combination of city lights, Asian influences, and cutting-edge technology results in a truly unique and captivating living space. This design has been recognized for its excellence and creativity, receiving the Bronze A' Design Award for Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design in 2018.
Gerard Puxhe, the mastermind behind the Marbella design, has successfully created a residential interior that not only reflects the client's lifestyle but also pushes the boundaries of design innovation. With its captivating lighting cage, vibrant color palette, and seamless functionality, Marbella is a true masterpiece.
