SensasionS Catering / Denys & von Arend

© Victor Hugo Architects: Denys & von Arend Location: Sabadell , Spain Interior Designers: Daniel Pérez, Felipe Araujo Client: SensacionS Catering Area: 119 sqm Photographs: Victor Hugo The table is set! Whenever you try to create a brand from scratch, to corporatize, beautify or modernize a concept traditionally associated to low costs and immediacy, as it is the case with take away food retail, there´s always the latent risk of snatching at the same time the personal aura, the crafty feeling and the accesible appeal this type of commercial establishments usually have. Therefore, the operation of transforming a former basement garage, in downtown Sabadell, into a catwalk for “Haute Cuisine Pret-a- Porter” was evidently raised from the very begining as a major challenge that nendeed to harmonize all contradictions that such merger of concepts arose, while space distribution and overall branding needed to fullfill the needs of two quite distinct activities, address two different audiences, and promote, simultaneously, two ways of consuming high-class catering and low cost gourmet dinners. © Victor Hugo Over a typical check tablecloth, configured from a combination of black, white and striped porcelain tile, a public access area was arranged by placing at its core, a large custom made varnished chipboard chip counter desk

The Braver House is a prototypical alternative: To instead build a small, efficient residence that simultaneously minimizes its actual footprint, while maximizing its perceived sense of interior space. © Chang Kyun Kim This is achieved through two methods: By expanding a diaphanous screen to the setback line expanding the territory of the interior to the exterior, and by shifting the plan and section to capture elongated views from inside to outside
