- Interior
The name Arche originates from the Ancient Greek ἀρχή, which means “origin” or “new beginning”. This meaning forms the foundation of the studio: every project is a quest for purity, balance and meaning in the way we experience space. For Arche, design is not an aesthetic exercise, but a return to the core — a way to relearn how to see, feel and live within architecture.
The studio considers each project an opportunity to redefine the art of design. With a focus on simplicity, materiality and light, Arche strives to create spaces that resonate with the soul. Minimalism is not seen as a limitation, but as a form of freedom, a means of revealing the essential. Their approach is imbued with attention, tranquillity and precision: every detail is meaningful, every material carefully chosen to bring harmony. 
Their latest project, 10AM in Apãto Yume, is a clear example of this philosophy. The home exudes a serene tranquillity and is designed as a retreat where time slows down. A subtle dialogue between stone, wood and soft light forms the backbone of the interior. Inside, an indoor gravel garden marks the transition between the living room, dining area and kitchen, a natural element that both separates and connects, deepening the experience of space.
The strength of the design lies in what is not added
A balanced composition, a minimalist colour palette and attention to proportion create an environment that is not only functional but also emotionally resonant. Arche sees every interior as a living meditation, in which silence, light and texture merge into a daily ritual experience.
Their mission is simple but profound: to create environments that nourish the mind, calm the senses and elevate the essence of everyday life. With this new project, Arche proves that true beauty lies in simplicity, in attention and in the art of omission. 
What makes their recent project special is the way architecture and experience merge. Each space is designed to stimulate the senses and shift consciousness: the light falls in just the right place, materials invite touch, and the open, flowing layout encourages both contemplation and interaction. The indoor gravel garden serves not only as a transition, but also as a subtle ritual, a moment of deceleration that invites residents and visitors to be present in the now. In this way, the house transforms from a physical environment into a daily experience that nourishes both body and mind.
