HAUS HANUDA

Hanuda is far more than an ordinary single-family house – it is an architectural response to the weary uniformity of our time, a breath of fresh air against mere functionality, banality, and lack of style. In an age dominated by standardized forms, this building poses a subtle question: it is an oasis of difference, where modernist logic and rural poetry engage in a promising dialogue. FACE | Rainer Taepper Located on a sun-drenched slope of a small town in southern Germany, Haus Hanuda nestles into the countryside and offers a panorama stretching from the Austrian Dachstein to the pre-Alps of Munich. Built on what was once an agricultural plot, the single-story bungalow gently integrates into the hilly terrain. Its positio... More

3 Houses in Campeche

The 3 Houses in Campeche were designed to comfortably fit the narrow 4-meter-wide plots. The idea was to create homes that would allow future residents to freely appropriate the spaces, with flexible layouts that enable generous use of the rooms despite the limited width of the plots. Another key aspect of the design was ensuring sufficient lighting and ventilation for all houses. To achieve this, internal courtyards and cutouts with large glass planes were used to maximize contact with the exterior, ensuring good environmental comfort for the homes.

Aversi Medical Center in Rustavi

The medical and health facility is located in the city of Rustavi, on Taras Shevchenko Street. Considering the configuration of the surrounding area and the project’s scale, a rectangular layout was chosen for the building. The goal of the project is to provide effective and high-quality medical services to the community. Caption The planning goal is to alternate open and closed spaces, based on function. The monotony of the building is broken by the penetrating stained glass system in its center, which divides the building into 2 parts, disrupts the rhythm and at the same time logically unites it.The main architectural solution of the building's facade lies in the repetitive nature of its grayish decorative brick-clad walls and...

The facades, made of in-situ tinted concrete that gives off a warm and welcoming appearance, are then sandblasted after pouring to expose aggregates, in certain places, thus controlling the final quality.

Catalogue house with contrasts in Valencia, Spain

This high-end modular house in Valencia has a total of 344 m² distributed over two floors. Its main feature is the contrast in its façade, both for the light and dark tones of the porcelain tiles and for the play of volumes presented by its volumetry. This gives it a spectacular façade aesthetic. Based on one of our inHAUS catalogue models, the Godella model. With an elegant minimalist desgn, the volumes of each floor form a very compact set full of very marked lines.  Casas inHAUS | Catalogue house with contrasts in Valencia, Spain Casas inHAUS | Catalogue house with contrasts in Valencia, Spain Casas inHAUS | Catalogue house with contrasts in Valencia, Spain The exterior finishes in wood and an...
