Exclusivity in the residential sector is the main point of interest of Carlo Donati Studio, whose specialization in homes with personality and identity translates into projects with a high personalization value. In contrast to the tendencies of homologation and standardization in white, aseptic white casings, Carlo Donati Studio’s luxury concept is always tailor-made, discreet and flattened on the person rather than on the clichés. Among the elements that characterize the spaces the studio designs we find open planimetries, with fluid movement, that allow environments to interact with each other and converge into cross perspectives. The result is a multiplication of points of view that is nothing more than a reflection of the many references that inform the project. 

The creative process always begins with what the studio calls the “image blender”. It is a form of stream of consciousness of visual nature, an uninterrupted flow of iconography, a dreamlike moment of design. Great architecture, theatrical sets, works of art, still images from movies, signs or simply images taken from the street or from the nature that surrounds us. Everything flows into an imaginative movement that from the mind is projected on the moodboard and, from there, on the project development. Before coming to the project, however, there is an in-depth research phase relating to spaces, color balance, material contrasts and the correct use of natural and artificial light. The conjuncture between inspirations and field research finally leads to the project. 

The end result is a synthesis of these complexities, it is the combination of a rigorous and at the same time minimal approach to design and foreign languages. The two can sometimes seem irreconcilable, but only in this way a result of substance can be obtained, where even very different styles overlap to give life to a house of ideas. This is how cinema, art, music and pop culture become worlds no longer parallel but crossed with architecture.
