Featured projects
Auditorium of VGIK
Moscow | Russian Federation
UPA Italia has been appointed to have an auditorium designed for the acoustic use as both a cinema and a concert hall within the confines of a modern aesthetic design.
The project utilizes an innovative system of acoustic revolving paneling that is digitally controlled by sensors and dedicated software to change the acoustic configuration of the hall for a changing of current use. The organic shape of the ceiling has been innovated so as to provide the best possible acoustic refraction.
Ladies Club
Abu Dhabi | United Arab Emirates
The client requested an iconic, luxurious design fitting of its clients and its surrounding lagoon location. Focused at every point on relaxation and style, the project encompasses a floral plan that utilizes free-flowing shapes to house all of its amenities, which include an outdoor swimming pool, solarium, restaurant, kindergarten, fitness areas and a music school. The entire project is steeped with luxury while being grounded in natural materials to compliment the free-flowing shapes that can be enjoyed throughout.
Private Villa
Abu Dhabi | United Arab Emirates
This modern, minimalist-styled villa was built for privacy and security for a large family to enjoy the sea views. The project utilized a sense of balance throughout a carefully designed arrangement of harmony between the front and the back of the house, with the front using truncated cone shapes, an intentional incline to the rectangular plot as well as large windows and long balconies for the back. Over three floors, the building boasts large living spaces, amenities and entertainment areas.
