Hi, my name is Marrioth welcome to Caracala. I created this space to provide a hybrid service encompassing various disciplines of my practice, focusing today on spacial design, the materiality of space rejuvenation, art installations, photography, art object and creative direction. Join me as we explore a selection of my favorite projects to date.
INTERIOR DESIGN & RENOVATION SERVICE- BROOKLYN RESIDENCE
The Williamsburg Residence by Caracala Studio is an assembly of how a space can embody both the client's essence and the character of the city. Our approach focused on durable materials and textures, enhancing the room’s height and openness . Neutral tones were selected to harmonize with the sky and the urban landscape. Tall, resilient plant species were curated to introduce an organic element.
The dining room and office area were designed with dual functionality. Primarily serving as an office space, it can effortlessly transform into a social dining area. A black cloud pendant light sculpture anchors the room, accompanied by a sturdy concrete table and a knotted Persian rug in shades of blue, brown, and red, adding vibrancy to this hybrid space.. In the living room, a curved sofa invites guests to participate in one of Williamsburg's most captivating views, while the space blends seamlessly with the renovated kitchen, which features modern, whitewashed black cabinetry and a stunning quartz stone island and counters, showcasing a natural palette of black, white, green, and sparkles that command attention. Floating shelves were installed to further emphasize the room's height, hosting a selection of art objects.
The entrance of the apartment sets the tone with its bold simplicity, showcasing a piece of the artist Maria Kozak, demonstrating that design impact is about thoughtful choices, not just the quantity of additions. The bedroom, a private oneiric sanctuary with direct access to a renovated, spacious balcony. The bathrooms, re- adorned with a balance of Italian materials and simplicity through raw solid textures to offer a tactile experience.. A unique aspect of this project was honoring the great personal art collection of the client and injecting what we call ‘the new’’without losing the North Star of all the studio endeavors which is art incorporation. The process of renovating this Brooklyn space, while challenging in the context of New York City construction, was immensely rewarding. Williamsburg blends volume, style, character, and many other fresh things, and the design pays homage to its essence in every considered detail—creating a space befitting a client making his grand return to what many consider the pinnacle of urban life.
INTERIOR DESIGN & RENOVATION SERVICE-
EAST HAMPTONS
The East Hamptons residence located on the heart of a dense forest stands minutes away from the traditionally chic town of East Hamptons. Nestled amidst a tapestry of evergreens, mature trees, and lush plants, this villa boasts an exterior cladded in black, offering a striking contrast to its predominantly white interiors.
The very essence of this project revolves around the dialogue fostered through continuous panoramic windows merging the outside with the inside spaces filled with natural light and the breathtaking natural landscape that already exists on the property. Caracala executed the full renovation of the house, the interior design and art production guided by the pursuit of creating a transformative retreat that elevates the country experience with a profound sense of expansion inspired by nature, the real star of the show.
