Located in Pereira, Colombia, the house is immersed in a green natural landscape toward the forest of the Central Andes Cordillera. The project stems from the intention of orienting and framing views toward the mountains, making them a permanent element of the experience of inhabiting the house. Through its courtyards, terraces, and roofs, the residence creates different ways of contemplating and engaging with its surroundings.  © Alejandro Arango @sitioestudio.co © Alejandro Arango @sitioestudio.co © Alejandro Arango @sitioestudio.co The treatment of materiality pursues a language that is both contemporary and traditional.

Located at 38A Nguyễn Thị Diệu Street in Ho Chi Minh City, EVERY HALF occupies an existing building with its own architectural character and traces of time. Rather than erasing the existing conditions to create an entirely new identity, Hoohoo studioo chooses to preserve the elements of value, treating them as the foundation for a new layer of intervention. This approach brings two distinct layers of time into dialogue. The existing architecture retains the memory of the building, while new details, materials, lighting, and furniture accommodate the needs of a contemporary café. Rather than seeking to reconcile the old and the new into a unified expression, the design embraces their differences as a means of establishing its own ide... More

Casa Eco began to take shape in 2020, born from a couple's desire for a summer house dedicated to rest and gathering with family and friends. The project was conceived during the selection of the plot, chosen in partnership with the architecture firm, and was guided from the outset by the premise of being a welcoming home, open to gatherings and deeply connected to its surroundings. Located in Casa Branca, a district of Brumadinho in Minas Gerais, Brazil, the residence occupies a sloping lot where a careful reading of the topography, the landscape, and the program guided the main design decisions. Facing the Serra da Moeda mountain range, the house adapts to the terrain and is laid out across two levels, minimizing earthwork and preserving... More

We are often swept up in the vortex of modern life, chasing status and productivity while unintentionally overlooking the quiet, grounding moments that give life its meaning. The Octopus House is conceived as a symbolic project that celebrates the seamless convergence of living and working environments. Comprising a residence, retail shop, creative studio, and livestream room, it aims to harmonize the two essential dimensions of contemporary life—living and working—reflecting the growing global shift toward multifunctional lifestyles. Phu Dao Phu Dao Phu Dao Private rooms, workspaces, and shared living zones are thoughtfully distributed acrossdifferent floors according to the owners’ needs, ensuring both in... More

Architecture begins with matter but endures in atmosphere.There is a dimension of architecture that cannot be measured.It lies not merely in proportions, technique, or the choice of materials. It manifests in the atmosphere a space creates, the way light travels across surfaces, the rhythm of encounters, and the memory that lingers after the experience.Sited in a ten-meter-wide courtyard—nestled precisely between an Art Deco building and a Modernist one—the project emerges from a dialogue. More than simply occupying a physical gap, it establishes a connection between different architectural eras, reinterpreting their legacies through a contemporary language. Just as a city evolves without severing ties to its memory, Aura propos... More

Located amidst the bustling atmosphere of East Jakarta, LLL House was built on an elongated site with a relatively narrow frontage and considerable depth.

Irtas Getaway – Space is a private retreat conceived as a quiet architectural escape embedded within the natural landscape of Irtas. The project explores the relationship between architecture, topography, water, and the surrounding agricultural landscape, creating a sequence of spaces that gradually transition between interior and exterior. The house is organized around a series of low, pavilion-like volumes with pitched roofs, allowing the architecture to respond to the scale and character of the site. A central outdoor environment connects the different functions, while terraces and stepped levels follow the existing slope rather than opposing it. iaarchitects A small swimming pool is positioned at the edge of the terrain, ex...

Selva houses explore the possibility of reconciling everyday urban life with a more immediate experience of nature. Located in Alto de Pinheiros, one of São Paulo’s traditional garden neighborhoods, the project comprises eight detached houses conceived as individual dwellings immersed in a continuous landscape. The architecture is organized around the presence of vegetation, treated not as a backdrop but as an active part of the spatial experience. Developed in collaboration with the landscape designer Caterina Poli, the garden introduces native species around the swimming pool, along the circulation areas, and into the visual field of the interiors, reinforcing the sense of living within a planted environment.

There are cities that are not written in street grids but in cultural vibrations. Nancy is one such city. Its history is not merely a sequence of centuries but a musical manuscript, in which landscape, infrastructure, and architecture form the staves of a grander score. At the heart of this symphonic topography arises the project of the Opera and Concert Hall, gently inscribed into the urban fabric by TCA. This gesture is not to be imagined as heroic, but rather what Roland Barthes might have called a light touch—a cultural movement that does not shout, but hums. tuncer cakmakli architects   What takes shape here is not mere architecture—it is translation. A translation of a landscape continuity—parks, waterwa... More

Set on a narrow 5 × 27 m urban plot, the house occupies only 5 × 15 m, deliberately leaving a significant portion of the site unbuilt. Rather than maximizing the building footprint, the design uses these open areas to bring daylight, greenery and natural ventilation deep into the house. Minh Quốc Bùi Minq Bui Minh Quốc Bùi Minh Quốc Bùi The long plan is organized as a sequence of connected living spaces, gardens and voids. Large openings, a skylight and planted courtyards reduce the sense of depth typical of Vietnamese townhouses, while creating changing qualities of light throughout the day. Common areas remain visually connected, encouraging interaction between family members while mai... More

Located on an approximately 5,000 m2 site in Lagoa Santa, near Belo Horizonte, the house begins with a central question: how can an extensive program be accommodated on a densely wooded plot while preserving as much of the existing vegetation as possible?The answer emerged from reading the voids between the trees. Rather than first defining the shape of the building, the project sought to identify the available spaces on the site and understand where the architecture could be inserted. From this logic, a continuous rectangular circulation path was created, organizing almost the entire house on a single level and connecting the different spaces of the program.

 The bold vision for a new performing arts district in downtown Vancouver was initiated by the Vancouver Cultural Precinct, led by the Vancouver Concert Hall and Theatre Society. Developed through a two-year feasibility study guided by Diamond Schmitt, the proposal responds to a growing gap between the city’s cultural vitality and the venues available to support it. Shaped through consultation with 32 performing arts organizations, the vision proposes four acoustic-first venues designed to serve Vancouver’s full performing arts ecology: an approximately 400-seat small hall, an 850-seat flexible mid-sized hall, a 1,750-seat concert hall, and a 2,000-seat proscenium theatre with an orchestra pit. Together, they would support... More
