Moroccan warmth meets
Clean Bauhaus lines in three shades,
Quiet Roman night.

Located on Via dei Greci in Rome, our lounge bar project explores the intersection of two distinct design sensibilities: traditional Moroccan architecture and Bauhaus rationalism. This approach balances organic shapes with geometric precision, creating a refined and structured environment. The spatial organization relies on precise color blocking, tactile material contrasts, and curved architectural elements to define the interior layout and guide circulation.

The floor plan is organized into three distinct chromatic zones. The entrance is defined by a deep, muted purple, establishing a deliberate threshold that transitions into the main lounge area, which is finished in a warm, sand beige. In this central space, Moroccan influences inform the custom plasterboard walls, which feature a series of gently illuminated arched niches. These sculptural elements provide a soft architectural backdrop that contrasts with the strict rationalist furniture selection, pairing velvet seating with geometric tables crafted from brass, back-painted glass, and ceramic.

The spatial sequence concludes in the rear room, introducing a definitive visual shift through the comprehensive application of a muted teal. This area aligns closely with Bauhaus principles, prominently incorporating Marcel Breuer’s iconic Cesca chairs alongside streamlined tables. A subtly backlit relief panel adds contemporary texture to the space while integrating a concealed door that looks out toward a traditional Roman courtyard. Through this considered synthesis of color, material, and historical design references, the project delivers a cohesive and highly curated interior.
