Site Constraints The plot is part of the development area "1. Northern Entrance of the Campus." This western part of Villejuif is characterized by the presence of large hospitals, including the Institut Gustave Roussy (IGR), a key urban landmark, particularly in terms of cityscape. We designed this new building by considering the multiple influences of the different typologies present in the neighborhood. The site is located at the intersection of three roads with distinct characteristics: ©Sophie Oddo -Avenue du Président Salvador Allende, a major thoroughfare with heavy traffic.-Rue du Docteur Pinel, a mid-sized street accessible to vehicles.-Passage Charles Dehan, a pedestrian pathway. The plot sits at the boundary b... More

Located in Kura Kura Bali Turtle Island Development, Bali, Indonesia, the Kura Kura Bali Unity-in-Diversity (UID) Campus is a mixed-use facility encompassing an approximately 60 x 140 meter footprint that combines commercial, educational, office and event programmes. The building orients itself in the direction of the sacred Mount Agung, the highest point on Bali Island.  Mario Wibowo Photography Studio Mario Wibowo Photography Studio Mario Wibowo Photography Studio In establishing a general logic on how the plan is defined, the building operates on two intersecting axes, the horizontal-axis---giving the building its horizontal language---as well as a skewed-axis pointed at Mt. Agung cutting into it, which diagonally in... More

Client Brief The client is from the real estate background and works with large scale government projects. They are majorly into infrastructure development. They wanted to do an office that’s well connected to nature, thus the plot they selected to build their house and office named Shivalaya has an adjoining garden on the west.

Out of these, they were keen on developing... More

The project stems from the desire to enhance the complexity of the existing building, characterized by various historical stratifications – an original late 19th-century section, an early 20th-century extension, and a post–World War II reconstruction – by adding a new contemporary layer in Corten steel. This choice makes the original materials legible, creating a clear contrast with the more recent interventions. Fabio Bascetta Fabio Bascetta Fabio Bascetta   Through the restoration of the existing building, the historical structure is reintegrated into the lively urban and social fabric surrounding Piazza Italia, the heart of Formigine’s historic center. The intervention aims to transform it in... More

A short barefoot walk to Clovelly Beach, Alba embraces its beachside location through warm and natural materials, and bright generous spaces open to the outdoors. Tom Ferguson Tom Ferguson Facing the sunrise from which the project draws its name, the project renews a home for a family enthusiastic about surfing at the nearby bay. A material palette of pale masonry and timber echoes the project’s coastal site, whilst a robust expression of elements recalls the essential simplicity of visits to the beach. Tom Ferguson Tom Ferguson Tom Ferguson The project draws on the tradition of sheltered portico spaces; open to the outdoors but offering shade and respite from the elements. Echoing Jay Appleton’s conce... More

The scheme provides a new rear single storey extension to a Victorian terraced flat in South London. The flat was in poor condition and required a full refurbishment and reconfiguration throughout. The clients, young professionals, were involved throughout the whole process and imagined a concept of light colours and natural materials. Rayan Bamhayan A minimal design in its purest form, the new rear open space aims to draw the garden into the interior. The detail of the interior is in keeping with the architectural concept. Walls and ceilings throughout the extension are finished in washed-plaster and micro-cement used in the shower room to also cover the ceiling, walls and ground to unify the space. Rayan Bamhayan The property... More

The west and a single material, brick forming folds together, in response to the incidence of the Sun. Leonardo Méndez Without “doors” or “windows” as an expression of sobriety and introspection, detached from the ground so as not to interrupt the creeping vegetation. Leonardo Méndez Leonardo Méndez With these premises, progress was made to refunctionalize and adapt a pre-existing work to office use. The living and dynamic element of architecture, natural light, penetrates all the spaces of the project, drawing a matrix, a projection of summoned brick that runs through floors and walls.

As the years go by, customs and living arrangements change. Previously, the floor plans of residential apartments were highly compartmentalized, with various separate rooms divided by walls, a room for staff, numerous bathrooms, among other distinctive features. However, increasingly, the newer generations seek more open and connected spaces with fewer obstacles and a lively atmosphere. This is how we conceptualized this renovation project together with the young couple who owns this apartment in the Itaim neighborhood. Pedro Napolitano Prata With 110m² of space, we proposed the demolition of all the walls in the social or common areas, integrating them into a single, fluid, and cozy space. Where there used to be a living room, d... More

Located on a charming corner of the city, Bar Esquina do Souza was already an iconic place for locals and visitors. However, the challenge was to elevate this space to new levels, while maintaining its unique identity and modernizing its infrastructure to meet contemporary needs.  Pedro Napolitano Prata Pedro Napolitano Prata Pedro Napolitano Prata Pedro Napolitano Prata The project by MARCOZERO Estudio was conceived as a dialogue between the past and the present. By preserving original architectural elements, such as the exposed brick facade and iron details, the architects respected the history of the place.

A 70’s split-level house with a square ground plan, dark spaces and no relationship to the large garden was transformed into a contemporary home with plenty of daylight and carefully framed views to the beautiful surroundings. The house is located on a corner plot on the edge of a typical Flemish allotment in Diepenbeek and near to the nature reserve De Dijken where the Stiemerbeek and the Kaatsbeek flows into the Demer. In the large open corner garden, there was deliberately no construction to preserve the openness to the neighbourhood and the landscape. The overall footprint of the existing house was reduced and adapted with some clever interventions to fully exploit the qualities of the plot. Jeroen Verrecht Jeroen Verrecht... More

EACH house is a commercial house located in Jongno-gu, Seoul. The client wanted to build a building with private residential space and a commercial space that could generate rental income. Although the 52.9 m2 land seemed somewhat insufficient to build a house, it was judged to be a suitable location for planning the space the client wanted as it faces a wide road and has high accessibility to public transportation. jinbochoi jinbochoi jinbochoi The house was designed by placing one function on one floor. The name of the house is EACH House, meaning that each floor contains its own story. Neighborhood facilities for rental income were planned on the first and second floors (a wine shop is currently open), and single-family h... More
