New capital city_Sports infrastructure_City centre  The Ilirija swimming pool with its 25-metre outdoor pool, designed by Stanko Bloudek in 1929, was dilapidated and no longer met sporting requirements. The listed entrance building was retained. In 1995, the new capital city of Ljubljana decided to build an Olympic 50-metre pool with additional infrastructure. Unlike in many cities, the new Športni Park Ilirija was built in the city centre – a sustainable decision that significantly reduces traffic and celebrates the national importance of sport.  Makro 5 Restored historic access to Tivoli Park  The political decision not to relocate the Ilirija sports infrastructure to the outskirts of the city but to le...

In Gheisizadeh residential apartment project, our main effort was to provide the maximum possible outdoor space to the residents, while creating the maximum visual privacy from outside to inside.

As a resu... More

Text description provided by the architects. The Safari Residential Project is located at the southeast of Shiraz, one of the oldest part of the city. Today, the attention of the architects in the city is more focused on the wealthy areas and there is a lack of innovative projects in such poor areas. The site context’s situation is in decline, and architecture is being oblivious, which has affected the city fabric structure and visual aspect of the region. To this end, the initial perspective on the creation of this project is a slight attempt to revive the recession situation of the design site.The idea of the design was based on creating a connecting and reliant element on all floors. This central element, which is in the inner shell of t... More

The goal of this project was to transform an existing storage on the roof of a residential apartment to a livable place. Considering the fact that existing space was very limited, design team initial concept was to incorporate all the residential required spaces in such a small space. Unlike the typical process of dividing the space into various spaces, and each space for one specific activity, 45 sqm. home offers one single space which changes constantly based on different functions and activities. The initial area of the project was 30 sqm in order to increase the space, we expanded the space toward the south edge of the building to achieve a 45 sqm. space and also a better exterior view. At the additional space, the roof was moved one me... More

The new public library in Varna is a permeable cultural container, an incubator for social interaction. As a vertical urban plaza, it gathers visitors of all ages in an open and inviting environment. Through a seamless blend of interior and exterior, visitors are able to move deep into the building without loosing connection with the surrounding city. Staggered volumes containing traditional library programs, such as areas for individual concentration and areas for socialization, float within a permeable envelope to create open spaces, both indoor and outdoor, for social interaction. The city and the library, connected uninterruptedly at ground level, continue their communication throughout the upper floors. The envelope is clad with me... More

From the outset, our clients' needs were clear: they had purchased a loft with no walls and wanted to maintain its open, airy feel. However, they still required a kitchen, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms to make the space functional. We found the perfect solution with a single, bold gesture. By introducing a central freestanding volume to house the kitchen and bathrooms, we were able to meet their requirements without compromising the loft’s open layout. The surrounding spaces flow seamlessly around this central core, whose walls do not touch the ceiling or perimeter walls, preserving a sense of continuity and enhancing the loft's original, expansive character.
