THE STUDENT’S CHAPEL

The team at Atelier Maison had a carte blanche when it came to the proposed aesthetic, however the space had to remain functional. The only thing that had to be kept were the chairs – so that was the starting point. The arched back of the chairs triggered off inspiration for the geometric shapes found throughout the space. The colours used were very minimal – lavender and vanilla coloured walls, and berry coloured carpeting. The interior architecture of the room was redefined by introducing a number of layers with the help of gypsum plasterboarding. Each layer appears to be isolated from one another, and each is perforated with geometric shapes like arches and squares, while giving the illusion of depth.
