Caribu House

Casa Caribu is located to the west of the Guadalajara metropolitan area in the municipality of Zapopan, Jalisco México. This area is adjacent to the Protected Natural Area of the Bosque de la Primavera, one of the largest natural spaces surrounding the city. Fortunately, the subdivision where Casa Caribu is situated lies at the edge of this zone, where the predominant forest of pines and oaks, due to the area’s altitude, integrates the house into this natural conservation system.

Casa da Lagoa

Casa da Lagoa is a weekend residence for a family who lives in the capital and found this nautical condominium a refuge in the middle of nature. Roberta Gewehr Roberta Gewehr One of the main guidelines of the project was to create as many openings to the front of the land as possible to allow sunrise and incredible views of Lagoa da Pinguela. As a result, the plan is organized so that the social area faces the front, as the back area is narrower due to the trapezoidal shape of the land. Therefore, the ground floor organizes the social area (kitchen, living room, dining room, barbecue, toilet and patio) and the upper floor organizes the intimate area (suites and private living room).

Downside Up House

Nestled in a diverse neighbourhood pocket in Albert Park, the original building was a dilapidated double-fronted Victorian house book-ended by a double-storey terrace house on its south side. The house is located on a corner allotment that is pinched in by the main street and a laneway which gives it its irregular, triangular "pizza" shape that tapers towards the rear. As a heritage listed building, it was imperative to rescue the front of house which was in a severe state of disrepair. The homeowner and his family of 4 presented us a brief that started off with the basic functional premise of maintaining a 3-bedroom house at the very minimum, and making use of the neighbour's double-height boundary wall to introduce a second storey vo...
