Pinoles showroom interior with a faceted perforated element.
Faceted geometry connects space, light and fabrication.

Role and attribution

Pinoles Showroom

Development of faceted elements.

DDC-Make worked with Modelart Arhitekti on the concept development of the faceted interior elements. DDC-Make developed the parametric model controlling geometry, flat panels, perforations, edge-machining angles, the waffle substructure and component labelling for fabrication.

01 — Context

Pinoles Showroom

One identity across two levels

The Pinoles showroom is organised across two levels, with spatially distinct zones requiring a recognisable shared identity.

The faceted elements were developed as spatial structures that guide movement, integrate lighting and establish the interior’s character.

Variations of the parametric system for the ground-floor element.
One parametric system generates different spatial configurations.

02 — System

Pinoles Showroom

One language, different elements

The parametric model allowed both elements to be developed from the same geometric logic while adapting to their specific space and function.

Changes in form, panel inclination and perforation were controlled as an interconnected set of parameters.

Panel geometry and perforation gradient.
Panel geometry, perforations and edge machining are controlled by a shared model.

03 — From model to fabrication

Pinoles Showroom

Geometry ready for fabrication

Complex surfaces were rationalised into flat panels with precise edge-machining angles. The model also generated perforations, labels and the elements of the supporting waffle substructure.

Data for every component was derived from a single model, preserving the link between design intent and fabrication.

Labelled panels and the waffle substructure are prepared for fabrication and assembly.

04 — Built result

Pinoles Showroom

Two spaces, one controlled system

In the completed interior, the elements work as architecture in miniature, bringing geometry, structure, perforations and light together. Their shared logic remains legible despite different dimensions and positions.
