Astral Weeks

The project concerns the transformation of a former industrial space into an apartment, that can potentially host temporary art exhibitions. The renovation took place in a postwar office building, a dominant typology in the centre of Athens, that posed several challenges. Characteristic of this typology is the insufficiency of domestic infrastructure, like plumbing/sewage installations (toilets located externally per floor), and adaptation limitations for heating/cooling systems. These restraints, in combination with the mixed-used program, informed the design methodology to a large extent.  The main feature of the composition is the creation of a strict limit that divides the plan in two distinct parts. The first part refers to the p... More

Vibes Resort

The project combines tourist accommodation with retail premises. It is located in the municipality of Agde, more specifically in Cap d’Agde, on the outskirts of the Naturist Village, at the Bagnas roundabout. Camille Gharbi Camille Gharbi Camille Gharbi Through the development of a prestigious facility designed to enhance the site as a whole, the objective is to create “a symbol of modernity at the entrance to the Naturist Village through the construction of a building featuring contemporary architecture”. The project is therefore conceived as a landmark building—one that makes a measured statement: visible and readily identifiable, yet fully integrated into its surroundings. Camille Gharbi Ca... More

Departamento TLD

TLD is conceived as a refuge for everyday life: a place where peace is felt in every gesture, where balance is naturally present, and where moments of contemplation coexist with the possibility of gathering. The project is articulated through precise volumes, edges, and terminations that open and close the architecture between the public and the private, shaping a livable space one is always drawn to return to. The arrival is defined by a vestibule framed by a marble wall, which acts as both a visual focal point and a welcoming gesture. From the elevator, a piece of art greets the visitor and sets the direction of the journey. The vestibule—an elegant corridor—culminates in a sculpture that organizes the space and anticipates t...

KAAP Blanc

At a unique location on the banks of the IJ in Amsterdam-Noord, the residential tower Kaap: Blanc is being realised. The tower consists of 18 apartments, each located on one of the corners, with different panoramic views along the IJ and the skyline of the city. The alternating balconies fan out to all sides of the building and give a sense of space and freedom. Blanc is part of the KAAP project, which consists of five different residential towers with apartments directly on the IJ. Located right in the middle, Blanc takes a prominent place in the area. The omnidirectional building provides a different perspective from every side and the double-height entrance sets the tone of the building. A park surrounding the residential towers will be... More

APARTMENT IN UEHARA

Updating the Tokyo Landscape Tokyo’s streetscape is often criticized—or praised—for its lack of uniformity, as arbitrary buildings crowd each individual plot. This chaotic quality is frequently cited as the city’s defining feature. Yet when viewed as a whole, it reveals a strangely homogeneous, generic landscape devoid of clear intent—an endless expanse of white, gray, beige, and brown structures. For instance, though its origins remain obscure, concrete clad in beige tile has become the standard facade for Tokyo apartment buildings. It is unclear when this scenery first emerged, but for us, it has simply become a "natural" presence, always already there. Can we re-evaluate and update this landscape where wild... More

A warm, nature-inspired palette sets the tone for the entire space. SOD Atelier SOD Atelier SOD Atelier SOD Atelier The volume of the kitchen island, in a light blue tone, intentionally integrates into the space to create the proper balance against the dominant wood finishes and terracotta elements, skillfully connecting clean architectural lines with artistic expression.

Casa Menta

Located in Koukaki, one of Athens' most vibrant residential neighbourhoods, Casa Menta is the renovation of a duplex apartment inspired by the colours, light and atmosphere of the Mediterranean landscape. The project began with the intention of transforming a conventional interior into a calm and contemporary living environment. Rather than introducing complexity through multiple materials and decorative elements, the design focuses on reduction. A continuous white architectural shell forms the backdrop of the apartment, reflecting natural light and creating a sense of openness throughout the two levels.

Zilles Apartment

Located in a contemporary residential building in the Rio Branco neighborhood of Porto Alegre, the project is centered on maximizing the natural light provided by its eastern orientation. Wooden blinds allow daylight to filter through the interiors in a controlled manner, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow that reveals textures, accentuates volumes, and transforms the perception of the spaces throughout the day. Lucas Frank Lucas Frank Lucas Frank The material palette is defined by a restrained and timeless selection of finishes, where different shades of brown establish a continuous dialogue between the environments.

Loops Penthouse

When architects Dan and Sandra Wilson first acquired this 1,325-square-foot penthouse in Seattle’s historic Pioneer Square, the interior was a collection of vibrant eccentricities—glass block, sheet metal, and colorful wall coverings. The project became an intentional exercise in "addition by subtraction," subduing the visual noise to celebrate the unit's most significant assets: expansive views of the Puget Sound and an abundance of natural light.

CASA GB

The design of this apartment in the heart of NoLo, has led to the creation of a fluid floor plan, capable of adapting to the needs of the new owner, which include the versatility of the spaces and their mutual connection. The main obstacle to overcome was the presence of a bearing wall that runs across the apartment. This barrier, impossible to eliminate, has therefore become the true focal point of a circular path composed of fluid and connected spaces. The living room, kitchen, and dining area are gathered around it, whose presence is cleverly concealed behind a full- length mirrored coating, creating a perfect illusion of spatial continuity. Sara Magni From the living room, you can access a multi-functional room that can be used a... More
