Portuguese Rustic Limestone Rectangular Hand-chiseled

Portuguese Rustic Limestone Rectangular Hand-chiseled is a natural limestone sourced from selected quarries in Central Portugal. Each piece is individually selected, creating an irregular composition with natural variations in shape, texture and warm beige tones. The stone features a natural split face that preserves its authentic mineral character, while the sawn flat back facilitates installation and allows the material to be used as natural stone cladding for both contemporary and traditional architecture. Suitable for exterior façades, garden and boundary walls, interior feature walls, villas, hospitality and landscape projects. The irregular format allows architects and installers to create distinctive masonry compositions, fr... More

Villa Claude

Many heritage renovations, villa or bungalow, tend to involve some degree of ‘blowing out the back’ to extend living space. The footprint of this two-storey heritage villa in Epsom, however, was capacious enough, and rather required the removal of a series of ground-floor building accretions that had been added to back of the house, and their replacement with a new dining room and veranda. Throughout the renovation, the aesthetic intrusion on the existing structure is slight, with the intention being to upgrade the home to contemporary living standards without compromising its charm.

CASA SOMBRAS

Casa Sombras begins with a poetic image: inspiration descends from the sky, alights in the library on the upper level, and travels through the house until it reaches the art studio, where it takes form in the hands of its inhabitants. Conceived as a body with a mind and a heart, the house transforms an elevation change of more than 15 meters into a sequence of contemplation, rest, and creation. César Belio César Belio César Belio Located in Cerro del Vigía, on one of Zihuatanejo’s highest hills, the residence opens toward the bay and the Pacific Ocean. The project was conceived as a permanent home for a couple involved in creative disciplines who, after living in different cities across Mexi... More

Brief Encounters

The way we engage with people will likely be completely altered after COVID-19. When designing for social interaction, the elimination of boundaries has always been the key intention; yet today we are increasingly surrounded by barriers. Rather than shutting down public spaces under social distancing protocols, what can we do so people can enjoy something as simple as sitting in a park next to a stranger? New Office Works Brief Encounters consists of two simple components: a steel frame and a transparent sheet. An accordion system is used to create partitions by moving frames around a central pivot point. Such a method allows flexibility in the spaces in between partitions, while also providing a compact solution for transportation an... More

Bubbly Christmas

The beauty of nature is its ephemeral quality, its ceaselessly evolving state, the movement of water and wind, the changing of light and shadow - all these reveal the presence of life. For this year’s PMQ Christmas installation, Bubbly Christmas captures this ever-changing quality of nature with a radically different kind of tree, one that highlights the relationship between people and the fundamental elements of nature – air, light, water, and plants. New Office Works New Office Works New Office Works The installation is composed of thirteen trees, arranged in a triangular layout and gradually increasing in height from 1.1m to 3m toward the Aberdeen street entrance. The trees are constructed of air, light, water... More

The Craftocene

Superflux is excited to announce the opening of a new solo exhibition at Weltmuseum Vienna. Entitled “The Craftocene,” the show unfolds across three rooms, bringing together three major works for the first time: the multispecies banquet Refuge for Resurgence (2021), ongoing explorations into river intelligence Nobody Told Me Rivers Dream (2025), and a new commission for Weltmuseum, Relics of Abundance (2026). Displayed alongside artefacts from the museum’s collection, these works reflect five years of studio research into the complex, interconnected challenges of our time, positioning ecological reconciliation as a condition for societal transformation, and the irreducible intelligence of the living world as a source of h...

Water Capsule Submarine

Water Capsule Submarine highlights the relationship between land and water. Located at the Central and Western District Promenade, this artwork takes the form of a single dew droplet that appears on the lawn. A submarine-like space carved into the water droplet frames and captures the city’s skyline, filters the surrounding landscape through a ripple texture and invites the audience to experience the city underwater. Constructed out of a double inflatable skin, visitors can see and be seen through the rippling water.  whynotsplash whynotsplash whynotsplash whynotsplash Leon Xu Liang New Office Works New Office Works New Office Works New Office Works Light plays an important role as we...

A 165 m² Apartment in Almaty: A Vision by Zaure Buzdayeva

Completed in 2025, this 165-square-meter residential project by designer Zaure Buzdayeva is a masterclass in modern living. The conceptual heart of the interior, titled "Back to the Roots" focuses on weaving cultural heritage into a contemporary architectural framework. Damir Otegen Design Philosophy: Local Context and LayoutThe design concept was inspired by an exploration of the Tanbaly petroglyphs, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This influence drove the need to create an environment where traditional motifs feel right at home within a modern space. Damir Otegen The apartment features an open-plan layout designed for a seamless flow of light and air. While floor-to-ceiling windows provide the primary source of natural light, sl... More

瑞器RICHAUS

RICHAUS is a small mixed-use building located in the dense urban fabric of Chongqing. Rather than creating a closed commercial object, the project explores how a compact building can act as an open and social fragment of the city. Caption The design is organized around a staircase that runs through three levels of the building. More than a circulation element, the stair acts as a shared spatial device that encourages movement, encounters and visual connections. In a mountainous city like Chongqing—where daily life constantly unfolds through slopes, steps and vertical movement—the stair becomes a spatial response to the local topography and urban rhythm. Caption Programs such as offices, cafés, exhibitions and... More

Modern 153 m² family apartment in the capital

The Design Manifesto of Aziza Aliyar This project holds a unique place in my portfolio. After six years with Arte di Casa, where I curated luxury-segment projects and specialized in Italian heritage brands, I transitioned into independent practice. This residence in Kings Land Residence marks my first fully solo venture. My mission was to translate my extensive experience working in Dubai and Europe into a private home preserving that signature Italian aesthetic while adapting it to a strategic budget. “This project is a true reflection of my identity it distills my vision, my history with Italian manufacturers, and my personal philosophy of ‘quiet luxury,’” says Aziza Aliyar.

A 250 m² apartment in Kazakhstan: classic elegance

This 250-square-meter residential project, executed by designer Bibigul Orazalina of Design for Happy Life, is a rigorous study of proportions and a synthesis of diverse stylistic influences. A defining element of the design concept was the client’s extensive background living in the United States, which informed the preference for American Classical principles: an emphasis on open, light-filled spaces, large-scale volumes, and functional comfort. The primary architectural objective was to integrate these spatial values into the apartment’s structural framework while accentuating the high ceilings and expansive panoramic glazing.
