Phae apartment

Located in the neighborhood of Kypseli, on Faethontos Street—from which the project takes its name, Phae—we were asked to redesign and radically transform the aesthetic identity of a 70 sqm apartment in a 2000s residential building. Vasso Paraschi Given the year of construction, the apartment did not possess distinctive architectural features worth preserving. We therefore approached it as a blank canvas that allowed for ample design freedom, while at the same time challenging us to fi nd clever ways to “mask” its aesthetic shortcomings through subtle design gestures. Vasso Paraschi Working within the constraints of a limited budget, our intervention left both the fl oor plan and the existing materials in... More

Humble Residence

Humble Residence: A Dream Built in Brick and Light In the quiet village of Rampet, on the outskirts of Warangal, a home stands as a heartfelt narrative of love, ambition, and architectural intent.

Conceived as a Dream, a Gift, and a Hope, this home marks an architect’s deeply personal milestone—building a Pakka house for his parents, a gesture of gratitude from children to elders, and a defining moment in an evolving architectural journey.

The Bazaar

​The Bazaar was an innovative concept for a destination local food market, featuring an array of local micro-restaurants, as well as craft merchandise and fresh produce. Expanding on the idea of a “bazaar” as an architectural typology with a long history and tradition, the concept inherited the idea of repetitive domes as an organizational structure, within which vendors would have individual kiosks. The morphology of the domes modulated throughout the site, resulting in subtly varying sky lighting and elevations. The long arching elevation faces south to a parking lot, making it visible to the street and also creating a relationship allowing for indoor-outdoor uses such as a periodic farmers market.
