About Nestwood Deseño de Interiores de Galería

Nestwood é un interior de galería e oficina creado como espazo compartido para as industrias creativas. O interior abrangue 600 metros cadrados repartidos en dous andares. Métodos de deseño xenerativo deron forma ás formas orgánicas do espazo. Utilizouse fabricación dixital robótica para construír a xeometría complexa en aceiro inoxidable de grao mariño, xeso reforzado con fibra de vidro, mármore e aluminio perforado. Unha recepción de forma orgánica marca a entrada e está respaldada por un pequeno biolago. Un atrio central con paredes de inspiración natural e unha escaleira serve como punto de encontro para o intercambio de ideas.

Unique Properties
The Nestwood Gallery is an oasis shared by multiple creative industries.
The design process uses experimental generative design to create an organic space. Each spatial detail is further fabricated with robots using the latest digital fabrication technology to replicate the complex geometry from the computer.
An organically shaped reception marks the entrance and greets the visitors, backed by a mini bio-pond: a mini-ecosystem is balanced by the atrium light, nitrogen, recycled water and minor species. The visitor is then welcomed by naturally inspired atrium walls, where a stair case leads the visitor to the upper level.
