Studio Afsa Piazza del Tiratoio

In the neighbourhood once famous for wool processing in the Florentine Oltrarno area, a new cocktail bar is located within a large vaulted room with bays, formerly a storage space for boats. The bar area is filtered by a threshold space intended as a winter garden. The counter dominates the space and hierarchises the functions, revealing itself behind an arched glass frame.

The toilets and ancillary rooms are behind an exhibition wall in metal mesh which forms the backdrop to the room. Dark bricks, lime plaster and brushed brass offer a welcoming and delicate atmosphere that accompanies customers in the flavours of the mixing without overwhelming them.

philosophy

A complex research which aims to highlight the quality of architecture over any other aspect. We believe that architecture plays a meaningful role in society and that architects should be able to share the beauty they manage to create through their works, in a well mannered and considerate way: free of distractive advertisements and unpleasant commercials. Complesco is therefore a focused platform that wishes to take architecture to the highest level of consideration, believing that an appropriate selection will win over quantitative and generic architecture that is taking over the places we inhabit. Complesco is a tool to stop cheap apathy and indifference, towards a possible future of surrounding beauty.

Do not hesitate to contact us at info@complesco.com. We make it our priority to reply hastily!
