Architectural Concept: Cosmological Tectonics The project transcends the boundaries of a mere architectural object, emerging instead as an aesthetic manifestation of space and matter within the urban fabric of Tbilisi. The nomenclature ‘Casa Asteria’—etymologically rooted in the ‘stellar’—is not merely a poetic metaphor alluding to the structure’s luminous, ethereal geometry or its nocturnal exterior aesthetic. Rather, it stands as a literal declaration of the building's material provenance and tectonic essence. Here, architecture is conceived as the organised, rational reorganisation of stardust; every physical component, whether structural framework or surface cladding, is a direct product of ste... More

Tucked away in the vibrant community of north London’s Crouch End, this four-storey, five-bedroom house exemplifies how thoughtful design can transform a property. Originally a mid-terrace Victorian house in poor condition, the building had suffered from a series of ill-conceived extensions that compromised its flow and severed its connection with the garden. What was once a characterful home had become a collection of dark, isolated rooms lacking natural light and spatial cohesion. Dan Glasser Rachel and James, both professionals with young children, saw potential in the house - not just as a home for their growing family but as a flexible space that could evolve over time. They engaged Mulroy Architects to realise their vision... More

Mulroy Architects have successfully rebuilt and delivered an extensive family home of outstanding quality and size in London’s Crouch End. The practice was appointed to achieve a large extension that would drastically transform the 327 sqm house from its previously small bedrooms, cramped communal spaces, and non-existent connection to the garden – into 450 sqm of bright and open common areas and generous bedrooms, with rich views of the luscious, landscaped gardens – forming a seamless relationship between the interior and exterior.  Dan Glasser Dan Glasser As both the Architects and Quantity Surveyors, the Mulroy team identified a number of challenges in how to best make use of the constrained site &ndash...

The objective of this project is to bring together the teams currently located across multiple sites in the town of Vendargues, consolidating them around the U ENSEIGNE regional headquarters in a building designed and optimized to foster collaboration.The site features a hilly topography, elevated above the Jacou road and gradually sloping down towards the back of the plot. The existing Hermes office building on site will be retained. Romain Jamot The project is cleverly positioned at the rear of the plot to take advantage of the site’s existing slope. On the north side, access to the building is at ground level, while on the south side, the semi-underground parking lot aligns with the natural terrain. The office building will b... More

A refined seasonal relationship of home to garden now exploits the amazing elevated park views and wonderful westerly sunlight. The ground floor is reconfigured and extended to provide a series of ‘broken-plan’ family spaces whose architecture is defined with a series of conceptually simple, but technically complex, robust columns and beams. Stale Eriksen Stale Eriksen Stale Eriksen Stale Eriksen Stale Eriksen Three sequential spaces are created, a back kitchen and garden boot room, a kitchen and dining zone, and a living space, all connected to a 5m deep terrace through a variety of glazed openings, shaded by the fair-faced concrete full-width lintel above.  Internal and external spaces have been...

The project features a 250m² submerged lounge-like space designed to immerse visitors in a 360-degree natural experience within Ttuksom Han River Park, one of Seoul’s busiest recreational areas. ©Kyungsub Shin ©Kyungsub Shin ©Studio ReBuild The three-dimensional naturalistic garden aims to magnify public engagement and offer a serene escape from artificial visual overload, allowing visitors to reconnect with nature. The project aspires to be perceived not as a static artifact, but as a characterful terrain that provides three-dimensional guidance for plants to thrive. ©Kyungsub Shin ©Kyungsub Shin ©Kyungsub Shin The garden is designed with multi-layered, intimate space...

A unique serrated edge eaves detail and steeply angled, gutter-less, zinc roof exploits the opportunities of the site and the Dulwich Estate planning constraints to create an innovative wrap-around extension.  Nick Dearden Nick Dearden Nick Dearden The design is a creative response to the constraints and opportunities presented by the site, and Dulwich Estate requirements, resulting in an original take on the typical domestic extension project. The clever roof design articulates privacy, light and views to maximise enjoyment of the space and garden for the large family of seven. Nick Dearden Nick Dearden Nick Dearden To the side the serrated edge eaves detail, with exposed rafter tails, balances light wi... More

Designed through generative method, the aquatic architectural ensemble is nestled upon a series of small, artificial islands forming a lavish archipelago.  Caption Drawing inspiration from the sinuous beauty of natural shapes, the organic forms of the complex gracefully blend with the surrounding picturesque seascapes. A harmonious interplay of curved and fluid structures comes to life, echoing the gentle undulations of waves and the elegant dance of marine life beneath. Caption In an era of changing global temperatures and shifting ecosystems, Marine Meadows arises as an architectural synthesis, transcending the traditional realms of human habitats. Here the vibrant gardens, green roofs and terraces organically meld with t... More
