At its core lies a remarkable architectural intervention—a project that embraces the poetics of ruins while celebrating their symbolic value.

Situated in Pitsidia, South Crete, on the road to Komos beach, this summer house complex can host up to ten guest. The design process was defined by the clients’ desire to isolate the house from the main road, create privacy and maximize the view to Komos bay, the Libyan sea and to the island of Paximadia.

An old and outdated 1980s house in the heart of Notting Hill, London, was converted into a stunning new build to create a unique space for the client to call home. Working closely with Amron Architectural, Banker’s representative in the UK, the Banker Wire IPZ-62 brass wire mesh was manufactured to be installed in bespoke frames. The architects at Amron requested an unfinished brass material for the external woven mesh panels. This design choice was made to allow the panels to gracefully patina over time, bestowing the building with an enchanting, aged look.  Banker Wire Banker Wire The patina is the result of the bare brass reacting with the surrounding environment in the UK, such as oxygen and moisture levels.

The design concept for the new “Alice Saúde” unit is based on the brand's initial premise: spaces connected with nature and divided into primary pillars of health, such as body, mind, sleep and food. The challenge, in this case, was to develop the necessary program in a compact and vertical version, very different from the flagship unit. Carolina Lacaz The guideline of the offices, ACR Arquitetos Associados and Noak Studio, hired for the development of the project, was to emphasize the original structure of the building, evidencing the installation of the new infrastructure necessary for the operation of a health space, also in an apparent way. This goes back to another foundation of the startup: transparency. &ldqu... More

Located in one of the most exceptional areas of Marbella, this intervention takes place in Puente Romano, surrounded by gardens and the Mediterranean Sea.   Taking advantage of its privileged location, the terrace was designed with the views in mind. From the beginning we were clear that this space had to preserve the atmosphere of the area and the rest of the house. For this, we worked with natural materials such as stone for flooring or wood for pergola and furniture, ending with an infinity pool where its water leads to the sea.   The terrace was created as a complete area, where everything is understood as a space that is in harmony with the landscape.    More

In the area of ​​Apokoronas and more specifically at the village of Gavalochori, in an area outside the settlement with a slight slope, we designed and built a two-level house with a basement and a swimming pool. The house is 511m2 and the construction time is 2019-2020.  The central idea of ​​the house is based on the philosophy and principles of feng shui, as well as bioclimatic design.

Three orthogonal frames of different shape and size made... More
