Yukón
Being located on a road of this nature faces particularities such as noise and visual pollution, which encouraged us to generate very specific architectural and structural solutions. The complexity and challenge of this project lie in the fact that it is located on the side of the Miguel Alemán viaduct on the corner of the small Yukon Street.

Axial House
Situated in a countryside São Paulo condominium, the Axial House embraces its corner lot and fosters a harmonious connection with the surroundings.The irregular terrain shape guided the design axes, resulting in a three-story, 450m² residence. Upon entering, an internal open patio welcomes visitors, integrating the garden and filling the space with natural light. Carefully positioned after the entrance, the staircase leads to the intimate upper floor and the social areas on the first floor. The house takes advantage of small variations in the topography, offering transparency, luminosity, and picturesque views.

sHPP „Bistrica Majstorovina“ – power house
The context of the power house is tackled with consideration of two factors: a gorge that the river has pierced, and the nearby primary school. Our goal was to bring the house closer to the people and open it for visitors. Abstract forms and geometric shapes, which correspond to natural surroundings, excite children’s imagination. The house particularly tickles sensory perception and awareness of scale and proportion depending on one’s distance and access. It looks as if it were stranded on the shore and rested there. The combination of pebble, pigmented concrete, wooden textures and surrounding greenery work together on a phenomenological level. The building creates tactile experiences and triggers sensations: there’s an... Mehr
