Deb Meyer

One Mu Garden, Suzhou
In the summer of 2016, we designed One Mu Garden in Suzhou (one mu = 666.67m2). The site selected is introverted. We wanted to create a garden-residence, where the inner atmosphere is much more important than the surrounding environment.

The site plan shows that buildings are distributed in the periphery，forming gardens in the center. The entrance is located on the south side with a yard for vegetable on the left and a garage on the right. When we enter the door, the path emerges between two walls, bringing the memory of the rosebush of the classic garden Yipu. After turning a corner, we arrive at a moon gate, showing a preview of the landscape of the main garden. For entering the gar... More

Quadrangle Garden Villa, Suzhou
Garden design is a kind of becoming, to become an arrangement that could be connected with the world. According to the theory of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, becoming-garden is a rhizome, which deterritorializes classic garden and then reterritorializes it when meeting residential system of modern architecture, drawing its own map along the line of flight to become a new rhizome.
Atelier LI
The site of this project is located in a villa district in the southern suburbs of Suzhou. The client wanted to demolish the old house and to build a modern garden-villa. Most villa districts show a figure-ground relation, a house set in the center with bounding walls surrounded, so that a boring area is formed. The house is onl... More

Rancho house
The Casa Rancho is located in the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro, approximately 120km from the capital. Spanning an area of 20,000m², the Rancho was designed to be the family's retreat, also becoming a project for sustainability and environmental recovery of the land, which is part of an old farm. Our program encompasses the integration of the buildings with the terrain and the view. We have designed pathways, furniture, showers, a pool, a viewpoint, decks, fire pits, pergolas, and landscaped areas.

Myohoji Temple joint grave
What exactly is a grave? Throughout various eras, its form has undergone numerous transformations. In contemporary times, the format of graves has evolved alongside societal changes such as the rise of nuclear families and shifting attitudes towards religion, leading to innovations like columbariums. Consequently, new forms of graves are now in demand to accommodate these diverse societal conditions.

Taktik Design revamps sunken garden oasis in Montreal college
At the heart of Montreal’s Collège de Maisonneuve, Montreal-based Taktik Design has completed the development of a lush and colorful sunken garden oasis housed under a glass roof. The project epitomizes Taktik’s approach to biophilic design.
Maxime Brouillet
The interior garden was first created in 1972 as a result of the addition of a new college wing. A glass roof transformed the “Brutalist-style courtyard” into a veritable all-weather greenhouse. A popular spot for students, the space was very much in need of an upgrade.
Maxime Brouillet
At its core, biophilic design enhances our connection — visual and non-visual — with the natural world in a way that increases health, happi... More

Austin Maynard Architects transforms a dilapidated Melbourne Victorian dwelling into a thriving family home
In Fitzroy, Melbourne, Austin Maynard Architects has completed an impressive alteration and restoration of a dilapidated Victorian terrace. “Helvetia” was a ramshackle dwelling that had previously been reconfigured on two occasions: as a boarding house in the late 1960s and as two separate apartments in the mid 1980s. With the property left in a muddled and sad state of disrepair, the challenge faced by Austin Maynard Architects was to breathe new life into Helvetia.

In the heart of the city where H.C. Andersen was born, the new H.C. Andersen Hus Museum by Kengo Kuma and Associates celebrates his stories and fairy tales not only in their written form but also through the physical spaces of the museum, cultural centre and garden.
