Architectural concept

Located in the historic Kasbah-Mechouar district of Marrakech, Hidden Echo is a conceptual cultural project that interprets Moroccan architectural traditions through a contemporary environmental approach. Developed for the Riad Garden 51 site near Agdal Gardens and Bab Agnaou, the proposal combines passive climatic systems, rammed earth construction, water management strategies, and local craftsmanship within a spatial framework inspired by kasbahs, riads, and Moroccan gardens. Caption The project was conceived as a low-energy and climate-adaptive architectural proposal rather than a technology-driven building. Its environmental approach relies on thermal mass, evaporative cooling, natural ventilation, solar control, daylight optimiz... More

Do Sy High above the vibrant streets of Saigon, NAMO quietly glows—elegant, intimate, and unmistakably rooted in a distinct cultural and spatial identity. Perched on the upper floor of a narrow townhouse, the restaurant offers more than a place to dine; it invites guests into a layered journey shaped by warmth, texture, and rhythm. NU Architecture & Design embraces the verticality of the site to craft an environment where architecture, cuisine, and culture converge. Do Sy The sequence begins at the floor. A dark herringbone wood pattern evokes the depth and texture of smoldering charcoals, grounding the interior in a sense of warmth and memory. The subtly scorched finish recalls the grill, forging a tactile connection b... More

The nursery is located in the Ano Patisia area of the City of Athens. The architectural study foresees a two-story building with a basement and a roof. The ground floor covers the needs of infants, while the first floor accommodates the toddlers.Due to the rather unfavorable geometry of the plot on top of the specific building requirements of a nursery, the design of the building was made with the clear aim of creating open and bright spaces that will serve the functionality of the nursery at the same time. For this reason, the central element of the design is the atrium, which plays multiple roles: it creates a clear programmatic separation of the main areas of the building [administrative spaces and children's spaces], while allowing at t...

Veris Modular Resort Veris in the Mazandarani dialect refers to a type of woven rope made of rice fibers and stalks. Its triangular volume, as a motif, represents a prototype of northern Iranian architecture and, as a part of the whole, can be extended modularly. The resort is elevated to minimize ground contact, reduce harmful environmental impacts, and increase the range of visibility. Caption In this project, efforts have been made to use materials that can return to nature, leaving the smallest carbon footprint (bamboo, Veris, renewable fabric). Veris has a dual function based on time: during the day, with the fabric covering retracted, it offers an open nature with wide views, allowing the airflow control and natural ventilat... More

The vineyards are situated in the foothills of the Caucasus in the Krasnodar Territory, a region characterized by hilly, low-mountainous terrain that gradually transitions into flat expanses. The area remains undeveloped, preserving its natural beauty. When designing a new production facility, it was crucial for the client to ensure that the entire technological process could be accommodated without disrupting the harmonious impression of the surrounding landscape, treating the untouched environment with the utmost care. Caption Caption The winery building is divided into two primary sections: production and demonstration. The production facilities are arranged along a curved arc, encompassing grape reception, vinification, aging... More

The holiday home ‘’Caravan House’’, located in Vathy, Aegina Island has northerly views towards the Argosaronic Sea and southerly views towards a rocky Mediterranean landscape and was designed to accommodate a family of four travelers. Their main criterion was the connection with nature which determined the architectural composition. Caption THE HIVE ARCHITECTS The challenge was to limit the building’ footprint and keep the plot as free as possible, minimally altering the natural landscape. The existing wild pistachio, olive and almond trees are preserved and guide the outdoor life of the family. The dry-stone walls that run through the plot, perhaps the most important anthropogenic intervention for... More

This project combines two keywords extracted from the topographical context of Amnam-dong, Busan, "Waves of the East Sea" and "Red Strata of Amnam Park." The unit is derived from the "wave", and the method of organizing the unit is derived from the "stratum". Each layer was constructed through overlapping and rotating waveform units, and the form was composed by stacking them. Each layer becomes a visual reference point separating each floor and the program, and also a facade, structure of the building, and space itself. Caption The Parking Level: Efficiency and System A level difference of 13.5m exists between the eastern and western sides of the site. The lower eastern side touches upon a road leading to Amnam Park public parking, a... More
