Form & Space

Acoustic design in luxury housing has evolved from an invisible correction into a fundamental structural and material decision. Driven by the hospitality sector and firms like EFC Studio, the control of sound and silence is integrated from the architectural concept phase. Thus, acoustics are elevated to the same level of importance as light or materials, transforming the spatial experience and redefining comfort in the ultra-luxury residential market.

Light is no longer a finishing touch in luxury interiors — it is the material shaping architecture itself. From Euroluce 2025 to James Turrell’s immersive spaces, a new design philosophy is emerging: one where daylight, circadian systems, and atmosphere define how we live, feel, and experience a home. As lighting designers become essential collaborators beside architects, the most sophisticated interiors are no longer simply decorated — they are composed in light.

EFC Group on the opening of LACMA's David Geffen Galleries: Peter Zumthor's first American building and what its atmospheric precision argues about how exceptional spaces are made.

Three rammed-earth villas on a remote island in Japan redefine contemporary luxury. Designed by Bjarke Ingels Group for Not A Hotel, the project turns material into an argument: building with the land itself. More than aesthetics, it proposes a new logic where architecture, identity, and belonging are inseparable.

The debut of Salone Raritas at Salone del Mobile 2026 signals a structural shift in luxury interiors. Collectible design—once peripheral—now moves to the core of the B2B market, becoming key to identity, differentiation, and cultural value. More than decoration, these objects act as “identity infrastructure,” redefining how high-end spaces are conceived, curated, and experienced.
