The
industrial style emerged in New York in the 1950s, inspired by the
lofts and warehouses where young artists settled. It is characterized by elements such as
burnt cement, exposed bricks, metal structures, and visible installations, reflecting an urban and modern aesthetic that makes better use of the projects. Great architects, such as
Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, influenced this concept with their
minimalist and functional ideas.
Flavio Dalla Costa - Estúdio do Músico. O projeto é um tributo ao estilo de vida urbano de um jovem apaixonado por instrumentos de corda. O arquiteto traz o ar industrial com destaque para as instalações aparentes, paredes e forro de concreto bruto, além de um piso de madeira que adiciona um toque de aconchego. Mobiliário de couro complementa o design urbano e despojado, e os instrumentos de corda, além de serem usados para a prática musical, se tornam elementos decorativos que refletem a personalidade criativa do morador, que no mesmo ambiente pode descansar e curtir a sua paixão pela música.

Raw Materials: Use burnt cement, exposed bricks, metal, and reclaimed wood, essential in the industrial aesthetic; Visible Installations: Expose electrical/plumbing installations and keep structures visible to reinforce the urban concept; Color Palette: Neutral colors, such as gray, black, and white, are essential to create the desired atmosphere, which can be combined with more vibrant touches; Studio Ciclista.

Textures and Furniture: Mix metals and rustic woods. Prefer simple, functional, and rustic furniture; Lighting: Choose metal lamps and track lighting to provide modernity; Integration of Projects: Integrated projects are also characteristic, encouraging interaction, fluidity, and visual integrity.
