Ex Macello di Treviso

The project transforms Treviso’s former slaughterhouse into a new day centre for people in vulnerable circumstances, building on the building’s layered identities. The original structure is retained, strengthened and left exposed, preserving the spatial character of the former industrial building while meeting contemporary safety and functional requirements. Energy performance is improved through the insulation of the existing envelope and the integration of renewable energy systems. Two compact service volumes organise the interior while preserving a generous central multifunctional space.

Newe Headquarters

Designed to serve as the headquarters of Newe, a new volume was created inside an existing volume, with the objective to accommodate the company's programmatic requirements.

Almaty Theatre

Almaty Theatre is a multifunctional cultural complex located in the southern part of Almaty, Kazakhstan, against the foothill landscape of the Trans-Ili Alatau. Completed in 2022, the 13,990 m² building was designed by Basire Design as a place where architecture, performance, education and public life come together within a single spatial system. Basire Design Basire Design Basire Design Basire Design The architecture is composed of fluid, layered volumes that respond to the scale of the surrounding landscape. Light-colored stone gives the building a sculptural and monumental character, while extensive glazing visually reduces its mass and opens the public interiors toward the city and the mountains.

The Earth Crew Headquarters

Three stacked boxes rest on a floating platform above Bangkok's narrow street, lifted to create a quieter working environment away from the bustle below, while opening up views and allowing for nine parking spaces underneath. The decision to divide the building into three separate boxes responds to the tight urban condition of the site. Rather than creating one large, monolithic mass along the narrow and busy street, the smaller volumes break down the scale of the building and allow more light to reach the surrounding neighborhood. This makes the building feel less imposing and friendlier in scale for the people living around it. Thanawatchu Thanawatchu The building is painted white to keep its appearance light and reduce the se... More

B58 Office for Octapharma

Octapharma has long operated medical production activities on western Kungsholmen in the heart of Stockholm. To enable further expansion, the block has been supplemented with B58, a new 7-story building. Despite its simple expression, B58 is a complex building where part of the challenge lies in adapting to adjacent structures. A two-story truss lifts the building over the existing transport entrance from Elersvägen. The areas on either side of the entrance have been enclosed and house technical spaces and waste management, which have now been moved inside from the factory yard. Existing smaller freestanding technical buildings have been integrated into the new structure. Johan Eldrot Johan Eldrot Johan Eldrot Johan... More

Enlevo

What If the Structure Is the Architecture? Enlevo House, in Paraná, Brazil, was commissioned by a couple of entrepreneurs. They asked for a residence that would provide complete privacy from the neighbors, a spacious, functional, a naked architecture. In addition to the large glazed openings and exposed concrete, the layout of the spaces contributes to a fluid circulation. Through the use of exposed, board-formed concrete structures and cantilevered walls, free, open spaces were created across three levels, establishing a harmonious relationship with the site’s rugged, angular topography. The orientation of the three floors is by no means arbitrary; rather, it derives from the possibilities for making the best use of the res... More

ChaChe Residence

Set within a natural clearing along the riparian valley floor of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the ChaChe Residence by Ward | Blake Architects takes a biophilic and site-responsive approach that integrates architecture, ecology, and energy efficiency. Gabe Border The home's shed roofs rise toward mountain views and extend to form deep eaves, creating passive solar control, protection from harsh weather, and shaded outdoor terraces that expand the living spaces while reducing solar heat gain.

POP (Pulse Of Parish)

The parish is not a discourse, but a language. It speaks in footsteps, pauses, and repetition. Its grammar is written by daily crossings and small returns. Pulse of Parish listens for that rhythm where meaning survives. Things Studio Things Studio Things Studio Things Studio More

Nube 7

Nube 7 café has been operating since 2008 within the Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo, a cultural and artistic space in Mexico City designed by the renowned architect Teodoro González de León. During the museum’s 15th anniversary,  there was an intention to renovate some of its facilities, the restaurant was among those. After analyzing the requirements, a project was developed that offered a fresh, contemporary, and renewed image, while also addressing operational challenges and taking advantage of opportunities for functional improvement. This renovation work completely transformed the operational and kitchen areas, in contrast with the subtle and precise changes made in the public spaces.... More

SILI

As in many renovation projects, the existing building becomes an active partner in the design process. Alongside the wishes of the clients, the project engages with the logic, character and potential of the building itself, allowing it to inform the transformation. In this case, the intervention responds to the specific conditions of the site. As the building is positioned along the edge of the plot, this condition opened up the possibility to consider the side façade as the main façade, rather than the traditional front elevation. To support this shift, the existing façade is extended according to its original rhythm and proportions. Thi.s extension continues as a freestanding element, concealing a secluded space behi... More

DOCK - two interiors for two brothers

Two apartments, two brothers, one architectural signature. The creation of two penthouse apartments within a development project in Prague’s Holešovice was entirely tailored to the needs of two siblings with different living requirements – one sought a permanent home in a prestigious location, while the other needed a base for occasional visits to the capital. Ondřej Holub Ondřej Holub Ondřej Holub The project was handed over to us at the shell-and-core stage – with only the load-bearing walls and shafts in place. We had to design the entire layout from scratch, transforming a single vast space into two separate apartments using partitions. Each apartment has its own separate entrance directly from t... More

Munich1st Offices - Augsburg

This office interior was designed for a company focused on the sale and presentation of products. For this reason, the spatial concept was developed to be dynamic, expressive, and closely connected to the nature of the company’s activities, creating an environment that supports both productivity and client engagement. Leonit Ibrahimi Leonit Ibrahimi Leonit Ibrahimi The design balances functionality with a strong visual identity. Bold accent colors, particularly the use of orange, were intentionally introduced to reflect energy, creativity, and movement—qualities that resonate with the sales-oriented character of the company.

The Indigo Office

The Indigo Office is a 149 m² workspace located on the ground floor of one of Indigo’s own residential buildings in Prishtina. Designed for a construction-driven architecture practice, the project translates the firm’s identity into a calm, material-led environment shaped by clarity, precision, and restraint. The concept is based on revealing what already exists: exposed concrete ceilings, textured grey plaster, and visible construction joints form the primary architectural language, expressing honesty and craftsmanship. These robust elements are balanced with warm accents in terracotta, olive green, and natural wood, creating a measured dialogue between strength and comfort. Leonit Ibrahimi Leonit Ibrahimi Leo...
