LESS Griveo is a residential building conceived through a strong commitment to sustainability and thoughtful architectural decision-making. The project takes its name from the concept of “LESS”—less consumption, less pollution and less noise—an idea that informs both its design approach and spatial logic.
Located in a low-density urban context, the building is composed of a ground floor and two upper levels, housing five functional residential units. Sustainability defines the identity of the project and informs its architectural language, expressed through structured modulation, a restrained color palette and the use of natural materials. A controlled variety of textures within a harmonious tonal range reinforces the building’s calm and cohesive presence.
The design prioritizes passive sustainability strategies to reduce energy demand, complemented by technological solutions that improve efficiency, lower operating costs for users and promote environmental awareness.
Interior design is conceived from the understanding that the home is the backdrop of everyday life, shaping how people rest, work and socialize. Interior spaces play a fundamental role in well-being and quality of life, making their design essential. The proposal seeks to create a calm and balanced atmosphere through natural materials, light tones and honest textures, fostering warmth, tranquility and spatial harmony. A neutral palette of whites, beiges, warm grays and light wood tones enhances serenity and spaciousness, while materials such as wood, stone, soft fabrics and exposed concrete add character without visual aggressiveness. Furniture is defined by pure, clean lines, prioritizing proportion and detail over ornamentation. Natural light is carefully integrated to create airy, contemplative spaces, complemented by interior vegetation that reinforces the connection with nature. The overall design emphasizes functionality and fluidity, supporting comfort, ease of circulation and visual well-being.
