In between the complexity and simplicity of a life dedicated to design, RI HOUSE is born as a new way of reading the work of Francesc Rifé and his team through product design. Rational pieces, without excesses nor ornaments, all gathered together in the new online store RIHOUSE.SHOP and a new space in front of Turó Park (Barcelona, Spain).

整个项目的空间叙事以一楼为序，氛围中带有一丝自主与实验的意味，从此处还能够通向一个更加隐秘的地下室，设计师采用了当代艺术画廊的空间形式，加之家庭空间的设计元素，谨慎的设计语言与精心的材料选择造就出纯粹的空间，为这个国内外知名的家居品牌提供了相得益彰的背景。
With a ground floor as a preface, both spontaneous and experimental, and a more discreet and intimate basement, we take the syntax of a contemporary art gallery and the language of a home to display a careful and curated selection of designs created for renowned brands, both national and international.

宁静的视觉语言定义了空间的背景基调。通过使用少量的材料、有意把控的细节，以及清醒的白色界面，将家具打造成空间中的焦点。对于地下室中原有的五座由手工砖砌筑的半圆形拱门，设计师采用了中性的干预手段，将设计与拱门本身的形式相互融合，避免了对原始空间的过度解读。

Visual silence defines the space’s background. With the use of few materials, conscious details and sober white surfaces, furniture pieces come into focus quickly. Five semi-circular arches of manual brick are discovered on floor -1, and through a neutral intervention we adapt to its forms instead of imposing ourselves.

在本项目中，Francesc Rifé Studio事务所与bulthaup Sant Cugat品牌合作，将德国品牌b3系列的不锈钢整体厨房整合到了地下空间中。与任何住宅一样，空间的布局定义出这个场所的功能，即，为专业人士提供一个举办小型烹饪活动与聚会交流的地方。
In collaboration with bulthaup Sant Cugat, the German brand’s b3 system stainless-steel kitchen is integrated into the project. As in any house, this space seeks to define the functioning of the place: designed to host small culinary events and dialogues between professionals.

此外，Francesc Rifé Studio事务所还致力于与那些对设计提出问题并推动变革的新兴艺术家建立联系。为此，设计师在本项目中推动了一个颇具雄心的伙伴计划，旨在于RI HOUSE的店铺空间中推广一系列艺术家与手工艺者的作品。目前，陶艺家Glòria Carrillo (Pols ceramics)的作品，摄影师Javier Márquez的“简介之美”系列摄影作品，以及设计师Claudia Girbau的Pinasaan品牌金属花瓶“Tubinos”都已在陆续出现在了实体展厅与RI HOUSE品牌网站上。

We also want to build bridges with emerging artists who are raising questions in design and promoting change. Through a vigorous partner program, RI HOUSE will promote the work and objects of artists and artisans. Currently, throughout both showroom and website, one can discover the works of ceramist Glòria Carrillo (Pols Ceramic), “The Beautiful Simplicity” series by photographer Javier Márquez and metallic vases “Tubinos” by designer Claudia Girbau with her brand Pinasaan.
