ENJOY THE SILENCE
Soundproofing Paradiso allows a quiet garden to unfold outside - where the smallest things become audible again: fragrant planting, rustling leaves, the hum of bees, and gentle water, complementing the music and energy within.
In contrast to the crowds inside, the garden’s intimate scale offers softly lit spaces for one or two; creating a different, yet equally powerful, sense of togetherness with urban nature.
Inside Outside was part of the integral team, led by @civicarchitectsdeveloper , shaping a spatial vision to make the legendary pop temple future-proof.

InsideOutside has joined the Vedute Collection of 3D Manuscripts.
A collection that was initiated in 1991, where artists, designers, architects, and other makers visualize their fascination with space in a physical work measuring 44 × 32 × 7 cm in its closed form.
Petra Blaisse and Peter Niessen have created a new manuscript for the collection.
“Before you lies, stands, or falls something that
Changes, Imagines, Conceals, Connects, Disguises, Divides, Doubles,
Embellishes, Enlarges , Explores, Reduces, Discolours, Cuts, Enriches, Exchanges,
Expands, Tells, Fades, Distorts, Softens, and Reconciles.
Thoughtfully pierced and Strategically reflective,
It creates Folds and openings, Rooms and corridors,
Views and light, Connects Inside with Outside,
Below with above, Front with back.
Standing or lying down, Expanded or folded,
and without rigid parts,
we offer Vedute: Elastic Space.”

Nous sommes lauréats de la consultation internationale @quartiersdedemain.archi pour la transformation du quartier de Saige, à Pessac !
Une journée de conférences se tient aujourd’hui à la @citedelarchi à l’occasion de l’inauguration de l’exposition « Quartiers de demain. L’avenir s’écrit aujourd’hui » présentant l’ensemble des projets finalistes. Elle restitue les recherches menées pour accélérer la transformation des quartiers, comme références au service de la politique de la ville.
Dans ce cadre, la réhabilitation de la tour 8 de Pessac réinterprète l’œuvre de l’architecte Jean Dubuisson en révélant la richesse de sa structure. Le bâtiment est travaillé de l’intérieur pour dégager de nouveaux volumes et faire émerger un paysage habité où logements, espaces communs et activités s’organisent autour d’une rue verticale tempérée.

Due to great success, the Architetture Transparenti exhibition at @villamaninofficial has been extended until 30 November. Don’t miss it! ✨
Our installation ……to the sixth dimension turns the central hall of Villa Manin into a place of reflection, literally. A mirrored floor doubles the vast space, opening sight and sensation to a dimension beyond measurement. Step in and float between soaring heights and mirrored depths.
Petra visiting Stedelijk Museum.
In 2012 our team created a 14-meter-high, 200 m² tapestry for the new entrance hall @stedelijkmuseum , bridging the old and new wings of the museum, together with Desso and Benthem Crouwel Architects.

WINST TENDER STRANDEILAND – Met ADAM ADEMT hebben we met ons team de ontwikkeltender gewonnen voor de Muidenbuurt op IJburg!
Hier krijgen we de kans om de schaal van een hele buurt onze ervaring op het gebied CO2-neutraal en biobased bouwen toe te passen. Met het duinlandschap als basis hebben we natuur en architectuur consequent verbonden tot een lichte en optimistische wijk in hout, met uiteenlopende typen woningen en een slim opgezette hub.

Petra Blaisse/Inside Outside featured in the July–August issue from @domusweb 💫
“In the double issue of Domus for July–August, guest editor 2025 Bjarke Ingels focuses on fabric and plastic, two historic supports for architecture, imagining their future political and aesthetic scenarios. Petra Blaisse enchants us with her reflection on ‘The Emancipatie of the Curtain’, recounting how she introduced the idea of movement and change into architecture through textiles, with examples ranging the Kunsthal sound-curtain in Rotterdam to the monumental woven curtains in the LocHal in Tilburg.”
The text is an excerpt taken from the conversation between Tony Côme and Petra Blaisse, published in the book Savoir & faire: les textiles edited by Hugues Jacquet, Actes Sud / Fondation d’entreprise Hermès, 2020, and translated by Domus from French into Italian and English.
