A course by JOTAELE ARQUITECTURA, Architectural Design Studio
Learn to bring a space to life by combining items from various artistic and architectural time periods
Combining antique and modern items might just be the key to transforming any space into one gleaming with personality. Jimena and Laura, cofounders of the architecture studio Jotaele, are dedicated to remodeling spaces, interior design, and styling. Throughout their career, they've worked on hotels, stores, restaurants, apartments, and houses, always with the same goal in mind: Identifying the client's needs and mirroring the lifestyle of the inhabitants to create a comfortable, warm, and practical space.
In this course, Jimena and Laura teach you to breathe life into your environment using objects from different artistic and architectural time periods. Learn to express your creativity freely and break away from classic paradigms and trends combining elements that express your true style.

What's included in this course?
Start by getting to know Jimena and Laura as they talk about how they started out in architecture and interior design and the creation of their architecture studio, Jotaele. They also share a few of their flagship projects and their main sources of inspiration.
Learn about how to catalog interior design styles according to their date, characteristics, and a few iconic examples, before hearing a brief summary of what eclecticism is, how to approach it, and about that magical moment when you find the perfect one-of-a-kind item for a space.
Are you ready to discover the tools for giving your home an eclectic feel? Jimena and Laura teach you how to pinpoint the client's needs and how to take on a space according to both its virtues and problem areas. Wrap up this phase by putting together a mood board to convey your ideas and goals to the client.
Now get started on your space! Choose the furniture according to the distribution plan and decide on the decoration, remembering to be fearless when including colorful items or unconventional shapes. The lesson is understanding how each individual element contributes to the creation of a unique space.

Possono essere una fonte d'ispirazione anche se non ho imparato quello che speravo. Loro sono bravissime ma alla fine è un seguite un loro lavoro specifico. Quindi lo consiglio per chi vuole prendere ispirazioni o seguire un progetto di interior design.

Gostei muito das inspirações que foram mostradas assim como do trabalho que a JOTAELE executa. Senti que o curso podia ter abordado mais sobre a parte estética, que materiais funcionam bem em conjunto, o que não resulta, alguns pontos-chave de combinações entre materiais e estilos. Houve momentos em que foi mais focado na construção do que estava à espera, mas manteve-se interessante. Recomendo o curso para quem se está apenas a iniciar na área e não para futuros profissionais.

Me ha ayudado a descubrir otros estilos y adentrarme en otro mundo para seguir investigando. Aunque me ha faltado conocer algunas claves de combinaciones de colores, texturas o formas. Algún ejemplo practico de cómo cambia una pequeña estancia de una forma u otra.
In 2019, architect Laura Escobar joined the studio and further reinforced its philosophy to go beyond the mere design of spaces to design ways of life that instill positive values.
