Arden is a family home on a quiet, tree lined street in Los Angeles. The brief asked for a generous house that could also feel calm and private, a place where a busy city stays on the other side of the front door. The result is a 5,100 square foot main house and an 800 square foot guest house, arranged around a private garden and pool, and built with materials we brought over from Europe. archicraftUS From the street, the house reads as a composition of simple volumes. White plastered boxes sit at different heights, and between them a warm wall of vertical timber slats marks the entrance. A dark wood garage door is set flush into the white wall on one side. The front of the house is kept fairly closed, with only narrow horizontal wind... More

The rehabilitation of the former Monastery of Santa Maria de Arouca, classified as a National Monument since 1910, proposes the transformation of a significant part of the monastic complex into a five-star hotel, developed within the REVIVE programme.

Its two longitudinal faces are covered with three fabric patterns, each featuring different shades and levels of transparency. Andr&ea... More

Amares began with a beach. Playa El Estillero, near El Limón on the Samaná Peninsula, is one of the few stretches of the Dominican Caribbean still free from mass tourism, with white sand, the Atlantic and coconut palms climbing the hills. The question was how to build a hotel of 36 villas there without erasing what made the place special. Paula Martínez Paula Martínez Paula Martínez The project began by observing the site. The curves of the sea, the sand and the vegetation became the lines of the masterplan and the buildings. Instead of a single block on the beachfront, the villas were scattered among patches of forest that were preserved, leaving more than 5,000 m² of open, planted gr... More

It takes its name from the salty humidity that condenses over the landscape and the house in the mornings, offering a breath of freshness before the desert heat arrives.

Its main façade is enclosed, creating an air of mystery, with an opening at the top that acts as a portal. A stai... More

HOW CAN YOU MAKE A SPACE THAT PROMOTES COLLABORATION? PLAY BALL Brivo Labs, the research start-up arm of an established security-oriented technology company, needed to expand into an adjacent space and build an open office environment that enhanced collaboration.  Pepper Watkins Pepper Watkins Pepper Watkins We sought to make Brivo's irregular geometry an asset by performing for reconfigurable collaborative space and designating the distinctly-shaped home plate area as an adaptable conference/studio space. By developing modalities of offices space within an open floor plan, we doubled Brivo Lab's existing functional space. This allowed for the current staff to maximize their work potential while expanding the pos... More

The Poliedro house sits within a dense urban fabric, characterised by narrow, small plots. The project is based on three essential premises: suitability to the program, responding to the comfort needs of everyday family life; the creation of a ground floor with the greatest possible openness, open to the exterior space, countering the perception of a small plot; and the assurance of privacy on the upper floor, through a series of outdoor spaces, shielding them from direct observation from the street and surrounding urban context. Francisco Nogueira Francisco Nogueira Its formal expression results from the maximum permitted volume, combined with the idea of the archetypal house; relating to the construction on the adjoining plot,...
