Multimedia Digital library

Multimedia Digital Library – an interesting project design studio YTA . An empty room in a private home in Sao Paulo was transformed into a multimedia library. Industrial lighting and contrasting pine boards adorn the concrete walls. Moreover, they are still functional – serves as a shelf for books and form a niche for TV, for example. At the opposite wall is a modest table, while the other pieces of furniture and accessories are scattered randomly around the room.

80s teen films. Time travelling Deloreans, basketball playing werewolves and the coolest bedrooms known to man. Boy those American kids sure had awesome bedrooms. And now, it seems – as we fast forward a few decades – Brazilians have them too. Built inside a São Paulo family home, architects Guilherme Fiorotto and Paula Russo – aka Yta° – have fused retro design elements with cutting-edge technologies to create a fantasy hang-out pad to rival anything Corey’s Haim or Feldman may have shacked up in. Exposed concrete and characterful pine boards provide a base for the juxtaposition between high-end gadgetry – audio, video, lighting and temperature is controlled through a tablet device – and the delightful retro curiosities. If we’d have been brought up on a diet of Wallpaper* over Smash Hits or Kerrang; this would be the crash-pad of our teen dreams…
