Chris Briffa Architects

Based in Malta, Chris Briffa Architects crafts spatial interventions where historic patterned surfaces and neoclassical plasterwork intersect with sharp contemporary insertions, using floating timber planes, fluid curved geometries, and dark metal detailing to balance light and shadow. The portfolio offers a strong reference when detailing refined beauty clinic receptions and waiting lounges that require integrated acoustic drapery, suspended joinery, and softened circulation junctions.

What we like about this project
The integrated curved lighting track follows the exact radius of the ceiling drapery.
