In Mar Azul, the Atlantic coast of the province of Buenos Aires, where the sound of the sea mixes with the crunch of the trees in the surrounding forest, the Leboyé House is located. Designed and directed by architects Nacarato (father and daughter), is an innovative home from a morphological point of view where its lines clean and modern, they stand out from the lush vegetation that surrounds them, creating a balance harmonious between nature and contemporary architecture. Functionally, on the ground floor the house has large areas for social life: kitchen-dining room integrated and linked to them a large living room where one of its sides opens towards an exterior living room with a stove and another towards a barbecue area with a...

One of the most incredible houses in the city appeared as a gift to us. Of post-modern architecture, dating back to the 80s, it was intact, with all its original features: wooden floors, granite, marble, accessories, and fixtures, and the entire structure in exposed concrete. It fit perfectly with the idea the clients desired for Casa B/. Marcos Fertonani Marcos Fertonani Marcos Fertonani Marcos Fertonani We found in the house itself the solutions for the project's concept and sought to go further, highlighting all the potential it offered us.

This concrete edifice stands as a fine-dining sanctuary in Maerim, Chiangmai. Conceived by a chef transitioning from the chaos of Bangkok, the establishment reflects a desire for serenity, finding its home where the owner's residence resides in Maerim.

The design manifests as a simple box with a sloping roof, employing a primitive concrete finishing technique for a textured exterior. Internally, raw concrete walls prevail until the main bar, where a precast technique, devoid of color, enhances the cave-li... Altro

Uno spazio privato e protetto che si eleva sugli edifici vicini, selezionando la vista, adattando il programma. Una terrazza che penzola nel vuoto, sognando un giardino pensile, dove l'acqua entra per avvicinare il mare. La stanza interna-esterna, protetta e illimitata. Ogni stanza è un luogo segreto, una finestra verde. Il tetto tra il cielo e il mare.

This project came to our studio in 2018 as a refurbishment, extension & interior modification project. A single storey old house on a plot size of 50’ x 80’ that was being used as an office space. The entrance patio was the reception, bedrooms were meeting/discussion/conference rooms and the store room worked as server room. The brief was to rework the interior & add one floor to function as extra workspace and a cafeteria. However when we did a structural assessment of the building, it was discovered that the slabs rested on columns, there were no beams! The decision to bring down the old building and construct a new one was taken.  suryan//dang suryan//dang The design process led us to some pivotal ques... Altro

Through the interaction of two volumes, we created a blind facade (to the north and the street) which brings more privacy for the house, and consolidates the integration in its urban context.The project was developed as a game of horizontal and vertical plans with a strong connection with the exterior space.The vertical planes configure the implantation limits and “support” a large horizontal plate that is intended to be autonomous and concerns the coverage of the house. NRenders The facade varies between opaque concrete panels and very large windows measuring 2.60m high and the roof slab will be made of exposed concrete creating the idea that it is resting on the vertical panels.The interior organization of the compartmen...

The clients came to us at a pivotal stage in their lives as soon-to-be empty nesters. The evolving needs of a family became the impetus for how we imagined a house that could embody the state of transition at a conceptual and experiential level. We chose the word liminal to encapsulate ideas that have informed the design process: namely the feeling of inhabiting a transitory place; orchestrating movement through space; and dwelling in the moments between from and to...  Hufton + Crow Caption Caption Hufton + Crow The project site straddles the interstice between a suburban residential neighbourhood and West Vancouver’s natural stony seashore.

The conception of the project began with an analysis of the location. The 100m² plot of land located on Praia do Capricórnio in Caraguatatuba is part of a subdivision dating back to the mid-1970s and the clients' main intention was to create a new summer house on land that had been in the family for decades. Alberto Ricci Alberto Ricci Our mission was to solve pre-existing features in order to make a house for weekends that would be a meeting point for the whole family, with comfort and practical maintenance. With this in mind, the entire house was designed in reinforced concrete, with its structure designed to interfere minimally with the layout of the spaces. We chose to leave a large part of the structure exposed,... Altro

Panambi House is located in a noble, quiet and wooded area of the city of Toledo, in the interior of state of Paraná. With the intention of dissolving the barriers between public and private, we expanded the access to the house, making the sidewalk an integral part of this set.
