White Harbor Retreat
The key thing about this home was the location and the site; it is on a really prominent lot on Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota – the type of lot that you don’t come across for sale everyday, so we wanted to of course create a home design that takes advantage of those amazing views.

So the home features an abundance of glass on the back side looking out on the lake with all the key primary living spaces, also the outdoor living is on the back of the house with a pool that you access from the lower level and a screen porch that allows you to live outdoors for a good part of the year.

Modern on the Prairie
We named this home Modern on the Prairie. Certainly, Pa Ingalls didn’t design this one. We designed it in a Modern architectural spacial design by using vertical and horizontal planes to create the spaces. No post and beams or headers. Its flat roof helps further expresses the planes. There -are- some classical elements to it: it’s symmetrical and the forms create the space vs random arrangements made in some modern architecture.

Born from an unexpected combination between innovation and aesthetics in the shower design, Soglass is the a new shower wherein, as expressed by the oxymoron of the same name, the glass takes on so and rounded shapes.
Indeed, in addition to the classical models, there are corner solutions which, thanks to the glass panels with rounded and blunted angles (reminding of a rounded square), create new spaces for the shower area.
With this new shower solution, Megius blends its longstanding expertise with the most innovative technologies of the industry.
In fact, in Soglass nothing has been left to chance, on the contrary also the technical and aesthetic details, such as the slow-motion system for the doors so closing, the curved suppo... More

Project • By GROHE • Hospitals
Vlietland Hospital
Hundreds of years experience in serving the community, the Vlietland Hospital in the Dutch town of Schiedom has placed high demands on hygiene, safety and efficiency. The hospital built in 1808 was restored and redesigned by EGM Architects (Dordrecht, NL) from 1999 to 2008. With its 450 beds, the modernised facility today takes care of a multitude of patients.
The classically built hospital consists of a linear block with several irregular angles. Its shape resembles a hairpin. Glazed walkways connect the opposite sections of the building to keep walking distances short. Light-flooded transparency characterises the glazed ground floor, which is framed by thick, seemingly naturally grown wooden beams.
Naturalness is the guiding theme o... More
