R&D
An ongoing line of material and concept research, not yet built, but very much in progress.
Material research
We're building a working palette of honest, non-toxic materials, studying how each one ages, feels and behaves before it ever reaches a client's wall.
Hand-polished lime plaster, waterproof and softly luminous.
Warm, renewable, and central to every non-toxic interior we design.
Diffused, coloured light as a structural and decorative device.
Planting used as an interior design material, not an afterthought.
Material note
Tadelakt is a centuries-old lime plaster, traditionally hand-polished with river stone and sealed with soap until it turns naturally water-resistant. No synthetic sealants, no seams: just a breathable, non-toxic surface that only grows more beautiful with time. We use it as both a wellness material and a quiet luxury finish.
Vision, not yet built
This ruin sits close to the studio in Kumbor, one of many stone structures scattered across the Adriatic coast that are structurally sound, quietly beautiful, and completely underused. GAMMA Design is developing a concept for bringing buildings like it back with a modern touch, reprogrammed as restaurants, boutique hotels or wellness retreats, depending on the site and the client's ambition.
A note on this page: the "before" photo is the studio's own, taken on site in Kumbor. Material studies and the renovation concept are AI-assisted visualisations exploring a direction, not photographs of a completed project.
