Hoor office building design started as a revision for the existing structure of the project. The program was about designing double height commercial spaces at the ground floor and office units on the top floors. The building has a unique location, it’s in the corner of a highway with a high traffic in Tehran, and therefore, it could have a significant role as a monument in the city’s image. Design concept engendered by an effort to attain glory. Our aim was to design a glam building which draws passers attention. On the contrary to common buildings, which has been glorified by elaboration and complexity, the architect was willing to reach to this goal with simple geometrical structures and ease.  To induce splendor to ob...

Project of office for the company Pollio Studio. The  space of the office is located in the basement floor , so outside of the outer wall we have the basement wall . The height of the basement wall is 2 meters ,  fortunately it is not covering natural lighting.The budget for the project was small. We decided to keep the ceiling concrete and install ceiling lights to save the budget. The space of the office is not so big, so we tried to use rationally all areas . When we enter the office, we see a red wardrobe closet with hidden handles and a branded wall on the left. Under the branded wall there is a shelf for changing employees' shoes. We used glass partitions for zone separation, also some areas of the office we highlight b... Más

Our next design-build venture with authentic living principles, this custom residence overlooking Ladybird Lake utilizes tricks from local regulatory hurdles to maximize its use and value. The regulations limited the size of the project to a single 550 sf Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), however, by adding a third detached dwelling structure, and creating basements, we are able to create a 1425 sf multi-unit compound.  ​ Underground conditioned spaces allow us to have a detached sound-proof music studio connected to the master suite via private sunken garden patio. The upper level kitchen-living-dining area share an outdoor garden deck with a detached guest unit. The material palette is as natural as possible including board-form concr... Más

A 2,400 square foot home sited in the low lying, flood prone salt marshes of New Jersey’s Barnegat Bay. The client’s brief was to design a lasting replacement for a multi-generational family home that had been damaged beyond repair during Hurricane Sandy. The site is situated at the end of a small peninsula, bound directly to the west by a commercial shipyard and marina, and to the north, south and east by expansive views of the Barnegat Bay.    Constrained by local ordinance to the existing footprint of the previous home, Salt Box takes on a narrow, rectilinear form. Slight internal shifts in plan and volume create spaces for both retreat and gathering. A patterned rain screen composed of alternating width Atlantic... Más

A beautiful project by Karla Oliveira featuring our Hoops collection Más

The cottage is located in the village of Lesniki, Kiev region, in a very picturesque place on the slope. We placed the first floor parallel to street, and the ground floor we placed  perpendicular to the slope and oriented it to a specific natural point. So this is a  terrace-type house, where the roof of the ground floor is a terrace for the first. We have created an interesting and dynamic architectural form, but at the same time inscribed in the surrounding landscape. Más

The emergence of mall culture in India and the buoyant growth trend of the real estate market led to the construction of a plethora of shopping malls. Yashoda hospital which started operation in a small segment of Shopprix mall in Kaushambi gradually expanded to the entire floor area of the mall thereby putting the building to altogether better use. A rather challenging brownfield project in terms of the transmutation of a 1.8 Lakh Sq. Feet of retail space into a responsive healthcare environment was intriguing. The mixed-use nature of the existing facility with a 20-story housing above further challenged the augmentation of services which are generally relieved upwards. Nevertheless, the expansive mall atriums served as excellent lobby sp... Más

It comes from Lao Zi’s Tao Te Ching that “major principles are simple”. “Less is more” in the architectural philosophy of western modernism and the minimalism pursued by contemporary Japanese architects have actually been embodied as early as thousands of years ago in China. In the ancient Chinese idea, architecture can even get rid of any medium and reach the extreme lightness without its existence. Jiunvfeng Study is located in Daiyue District, Tai’an City, adjacent to the Shenlong Grand Canyon, with Mount Tai, the top of the five sacred mountains, in the east. It is surrounded by mountains, full of rocks like flocks of sheep, with the broad vision of overlooking the gorge and gully and looking out mou... Más

This complex and fascinating puzzle of different cubes evolves on a sloping clearing in the forest near Frankfurt, Germany. The basic idea of the design uses the sightlines of two old trees standing on the property and benefits, apart from the general views of the surrounding nature, also from the skyline of Frankfurt. Along these lines of sight, cubes of different proportion are piled up around the central core of the staircase. With a height of nine metres throughout the entire building, this “heart of the house” serves as an exhibition space for the client’s alternating artwork, exposed through a skylight. The two-storey housing cube, stretching into the sky, contains a 6-meter library wall and an equally high window... Más
