cortina 126

the choreography of temporal rhythm

a piece in which the curtain plays the leading role, holding the transformative power to turn our lives into a distinguished space, filled with a captivating atmosphere that shapes a unique perception of emotion.

the concept of “the choreography of temporal rhythm” defines phenomena laboratory’s philosophy across all projects developed under the cortina name; much like a choreographer who turns movement into expression, cortina’s architecture translates the passage of time into forms, rhythms, and spaces that adapt to social, technological, and cultural changes.

when opened, the curtain gracefully reveals the shape of future time, staging the rhythmic pattern of emotion as perceived through the essence of constructed elements; cortina is a threshold, a boundary, a transition a transformation and evolution toward excellence. it becomes both a window and a portal for communication with the future, where each of us is an actor in the theatre of time to come.

temporal rhythm acquires a new choreography: a distinguished space, an atmosphere, a perception of emotion a stage where the curtain performs the leading role, imbued with transformative power. once drawn, it gracefully covers the shape of the past and opens the doors to an exciting future, to a new beginning; the rhythmic pattern transforms, absorbing new elements and giving birth to an architecture that redefines the experience of living.

a place with a soul that is how we define our architecture; beyond materiality, cortina builds atmospheres and identities: spaces that convey emotion, preserve the connection with the site’s history, and nurture positive, inspirational energy; light and form become a continuous dance, where technical precision intertwines with imagination, and the community finds a vibrant, welcoming framework.

within cortina 126, the interplay of light and shadow alters the perception of proportion, offering a captivating visual experience, the project is defined by its balance of technical precision, aesthetic elegance, and emotion a true architectural landmark dedicated to contemporary urban living.

double trouble

the mirror does not merely reflect the truth — it reveals. it is a window between two worlds: the one of our projections and the one of silent truth.

double trouble is an exploration of the dissonance between what we want to see and what we perceive — the gap between the actual self and the ideal self.

according to merleau-ponty’s phenomenology, perception is not objective, but experienced bodily and emotionally.

double trouble brings these two realities into a single object,

there is never just one visible truth

truth is what we are ready to see.

padam padam

form becomes emotion;

a piece designed not just as a seat, but as an extension of an inner state.

an object inspired by the subtle rhythm of a heartbeat, it supports a freedom of use that encourages intimacy, relaxation, conscious breathing.

padam padam is an architectural object that doesn't stand out through volume or eccentricity, but through the calm vibration it leaves in the space.

it’s not about sitting — it’s about feeling; about how you feel with yourself. it’s about that moment when everything stops for a second, and it’s just you and your heart.

this is what silence sounds like when you return to yourself.
