Lagom Unique
Lagom UNIQUE is a premium residential complex whose architecture builds a subtle dialogue between people and nature. The project is shaped around the idea of maximum engagement with the landscape while preserving privacy and the inner comfort of each resident.The complex is located in a picturesque area with its own private lake in the suburb of Lviv, in the village of Sokilnyky. The natural surroundings become an integral part of the architectural narrative: the site offers panoramic views of the rural landscape, while the quietness and rhythm of the place create a sense of distance from the urban environment without losing connection to it.
The key objective of the project was to create residences with a distinctive, unique morphology th... More

The new cottage is perched at the top of a steep slope, overlooking the tranquil lake and a private beach that is scattered with old tree stumps imbedded in the sand. The cottage is broken up into three distinct volumes, each stepped back from the next to maximize views – an entry wing with two guest bedrooms that leads to a generous screened in porch; the main volume containing living, dining and kitchen with floor-to-ceiling windows that open up the interior to the views out to the lake; and the master bedroom wing that is separated from the r...

SM Cottage
In the municipality of Batiscan, the SM chalet catches the eye of passersby from the banks of the St. Lawrence River with its elegant discretion. Here, the stars of the show are first and foremost the river and the forest; this secondary residence aims to highlight and celebrate them. Its footprint on the site is minimal, thanks to its compact form and ingenious stilt construction.

The choice of cedar shingle cladding draws attention, evoking a sense of calm and steady tranquility. The primary intentions are gently inscribed here: to anchor itself sustainably in the landscape, to weather gracefully alongside the tall maples scattered across the site, and to... More

Bunkie on the Hill
The smallest in a collection of cabins scattered across four family properties, a Bunkie on the Hill serves as a space of respite for a family-oriented client in Muskoka. The Bunkie, tucked into the trees at the top of a steep slope, was designed to provide a quiet space away from the action of the multi-generational family cottages below.

A contemporary interpretation of the traditional A-frame shape evokes the quintessential cabin in the woods, differentiated by shifted roof volumes. Reminiscent of the overlapping layers of shale rock in the surrounding landscape, the split roof design features two intersecting gables that create opportunities for window openings where the roof...

Affrusk Cottage
As you approach Affrusk Cottage there is no doubt it holds its own and belongs in its stunning agricultural setting just outside the town of Banchory, Aberdeenshire. This new build family home replaced a cottage that was on the site which had no significant architectural merit. The rural agricultural back drop of the area inspired the design which included materials such as slate, granite and timber, all of which are long lasting and commonplace in the Northeast's historic architecture.The house is a modern t-shaped plan design with pitched roofs and provides a contemporary reflection of the character and scale of agricultural buildings in the local area.

East Hampton Cottage
This guest house and artist's studio in a secluded site in the Hamptons was designed in a primitive Italianate style inspired by the paintings of Giotto. Situated around a central courtyard, the L-shaped building culminates in a tower that offers a viewing promontory from its hilltop location. The earth-toned stucco façade provides a vibrant backdrop for the verdant setting, which extends to the house with potted plants and flower-beds.

hidden face
The cabin echoes our early construction experiences. Here, we are developing the shelter around a unique material: wood. The material allows integration and discretion in the landscape. The rhythm is mimetic. The composition is enough to shelter from the wind, looks, or rain. This simple gesture creates a limit, an invitation and a panorama. The trees and the shelter don’t touch each other but interact and create vertical and horizontal limits.
Caption
The gap in between the two walls invites the walker to enter the shelter. Inside, the atmosphere is warm, you can stand, sit, lie down, rest. The trees foliage filters the sun rays. Our imagination is summoned, reminds us of childhood memories. Sitting, leaning against the wall, o... More

Cartier House
A hyphen between past and present, the Cartier project is a testament to a couple’s dedication to honour the architectural heritage of a quaint cottage in the Plateau Mont-Royal by giving it a second life.
Compact and nestled on a city lot with restrained proportions, including a narrow lateral passage and a small green inner courtyard, the original house presented some challenges for its expansion. Meeting the clients’ desire to connect the indoor spaces to the exterior spaces without losing the home’s existing charm and intimacy would be no small feat. The architectural response thus articulated itself around a balance of old and new with conservation and modernization treatments of the exterior facades and of the home&... More

BST House
Total: 800 m².Plot 1.50 hectare
Can you reveal the name "BST House"? What is the reason for the name, what is the associative row in the name?
BST is an abbreviation for "Binary search tree", our client works in IT + house is located on a 1.5 ha forest plot, by associating these two facts we got this name.

Kahshe Lake Cottage
The story of Kahshe Lake Cottage started in 1987, when the parents of Solares’s own Tom Knezic bought the water-access property and built a small bunkie as a temporary shelter. Their goal was to then design and build their dream family cottage. When the 1989 recession hit, their plans went on hold. In 2015, Tom’s father passed away, and his mother decided that it was time to finish what they had started.
The bunkie still sits on the original property, surrounded by outdoor projects created over the years, including the firepit, slack lines, bike trails, even a hammock zone. The new cottage is sited on the neighbouring property to the north, acquired more recently for this project. The site is full of forest and Canadian Shield... More

The Dream Lab
The "Dream Lab" transforms a 1830s cottage in Parramatta - a former lolly shop - into a dream-like, fluid, continuous space for writing workshops and storytelling to encourage creativity in kids in western Sydney. LAVA and the Glue Society have collaborated again to create a visionary space for the Story Factory, a not-for-profit creative writing centre for young people.
Chris Bosse, director of LAVA, said: “The architectural concept was to connect the four separate rooms in this heritage building with a continuous ribbon, to promote creative thinking with non linear solutions. Like pouring a bucket of creativity into the spaces, it flows throughout the rooms and splashes out onto the street.” ‘Dream Lab’ br... More

Pest Cottage
A new generation reimagines a piece of family history – Pest CottageOn-site of the family compound was a former work shed that had been converted into a sparse, yet beautifully located cottage, fondly reserved for unruly grandchildren to let loose. The latest generation to oversee the grounds saw potential to make the little retreat something modern and much more comfortable. The goal was to renovate the space without losing the original character or designing over family nostalgia.
Choosing moments that matter mostA very tight budget required being selective with changes that would have the greatest impact within the 950 sq ft space. Doors and windows were enlarged, allowing both light and views to become more prominent... More
