Classic collection
The term ‘classical architecture’ has an archaeological meaning in reference to classical Greek architecture. Historians also use it, however, to refer to a series of styles based on that source, either directly or indirectly. After the Renaissance, most of the styles in Europe can be described as being classical architecture. This broad use of the term is employed by Sir John Summerson in The Classical Language of Architecture. The ‘elements’ of classical architecture have been applied to the architecture of contexts that are radically different from those they originally developed from.

Corso I Karlin
As occurs in many european cities, former industrial buildings have lost their original purpose and must be transformed to accommodate other uses. This is the case of corso, an office block that forms part of an ambitious development plan for the entire Karlin district.
We wanted to modernize a quarter without depriving it of its historical roots: Corso is an example of a former industrial building which has been transformed into a modern, efficient work center.
The original building has been preserved and its base renovated. The new roof is of glass, and red stucco arcades highlight the composition of the existing ground floor. The aim here is to maintain a dialogue between light and shadow, solidity and transparency; between the languag... Mais

ANTONIO VARAS APARTMENT
The commission was to refurbish and restore an apartment of 165m2. The original neo-classical architecture was constructed in 1954, and is located in Providencia, Santiago, Chile.
As restoration work it was decided to maintain and restore plaster moldings and original cornices, as well as the existing parquette wood floor that was polished and vitrified.

Besides, all the windows were replaced by aluminum tilt systems with acoustic and thermo panel glasses to improve the quality of the interior ambience.
