Top 5 quiet designs

One of the main and usual goals of architectural or interior design is the possibility to give character and personality to a particular habitable space. However, that’s not the only goal that exceptional designers are seeking.

Today we are looking into quiet designs. 

What do we mean by quiet?  

We chose that word not to express nothingness, but instead the room for something else to be heard, whatever that may be.
Not to be confused with minimalism (which sometimes coincides with quiet designs), we’re talking about minimal creative  intervention in something else that is already there.  It is, in a way, a selfless design approach.

That special “something” can embody the form of nature itself, the preexisting structure of a building or  the  story behind the inhabited area. Sometimes its a combination of more than one thing that takes the stage! Just like a museum is there to bring attention to art or archeological findings, these hotels do the same in an enlightened way.

Today we selected five projects that highlight and guide guests through historical structures and impecable horizons or landscapes, accentuating what the space itself had to say before the designers were there.
