Programme: Construction of a wood/​concrete office building with natural ventilation   In the heart of the residential district of Suresnes, the PASTEUR office building has been designed as a fluid workspace extending over four levels, for 48 users.

Project “Lux Cave” involved the conversion of a 200 m2 warehouse into an entertainment area for personal use. The owner envisaged the construction of an entertainment space that aligns with their hobbies, such as watching sports or playing video games, and hanging out with friends. Moreover, the space was also intended for get-togethers and parties. The new space would include a bar with billiards and other games, a recording studio, a control room, a private cinema, and a gaming room.

From the get-go, our simplicity-loving clients, a couple with their three dogs, requested a compact house with a sunroom where everyone could come together. However, the land presented a certain challenge - it is located in a chaotic urban zone with limited natural light. As a result, we started looking into different ways to handle natural light as well as to create an open space in this particular context. In addition, during this process, we realized that it would be important to design a dwelling place with a sense of psychological distance from its surroundings.  ©Ikuya Sasaki ©Ikuya Sasaki First of all, we created an open space, hereinafter referred to as the Solarium, with an atrium in the centre of the buil...

When looking for somewhere to build their holiday home the decision was easy for our clients. Their heritage was strongly linked to the remote and rugged lands of the Mani Peninsula in Greece. It was the location on which they had their hearts set for a holiday retreat for their extended, multigenerational family. The plot of land they purchased was set high on a mountainside offering spectacular views, which can only really be compared to travelling on an aeroplane, peering down on the village and the sea below. Panagiotis Voumvakis The brief:Our task was to create a space for the family to come together whilst also making room for them each to have individual space within the complex. Due to the remote and rather wild location of th... Más

The Wingspan Event & Conference Center provides Washington County with an impressive world-class facility with year-round opportunities to host visitors, while supporting the diverse needs of a growing community in Hillsboro, Oregon. Rooted deep in heritage and history, the timeless design draws inspiration from a combination of contextual forces intrinsic to the site.

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) reflects the rich timber heritage of the area. Caption Caption The building highlights the 40,000 SF exposition hall contiguous to the state-of-the-... Más

Solhagaparken is a residential project in Masmo, a suburb located about 20 kilometers south of central Stockholm. The five-story building is situated next to the existing Solhagaparken.   Masmo is in many ways a typical suburban residential area in Vårby, Huddinge. The area was completed in 1964 and is characterized by several large apartment buildings in red brick, arranged around the lush Solhagaparken. Masmo is a place of great contrasts, with expansive green spaces and forests wedged between two elevated highways that connects the area to central Stockholm. To the east, the area is defined by the dramatic slope of Masmoberget and to the west, by the water that connects Huddinge to Botkyrka. Johan Dehlin Johan Dehlin... Más
