Bivalvia
Bivalvia is a sculptural architectural lighting collection designed to adapt freely to the scale and geometry of each project. Its individually suspended glass forms create a light, organic composition that can extend vertically through a multi-story space, follow the movement of a staircase, or spread horizontally across a large interior.
With virtually no limitation on scale, each installation can be configured by quantity, overall dimensions, drop lengths, density, layout and glass colors. The ceiling canopy is designed specifically for the project and can be adapted to different dimensions, shapes and architectural conditions.

Each glass element is individually formed and assembled by the artist, giving every installation... More

Lake Cottage
Lake Minnewashta is home to our coastal classic lakeside home. The first thing visitors will notice is the open and spacious main floor framed with beautiful, hand-crafted pine custom beams.The home is two stories, but we wanted the main floor to feel like a rambler. Details like wide-plank oak floors, a shiplap and limestone surround around the fireplace and a large open kitchen with a large custom blue island.

Neve Tzedek Patio House by MGA adds a new chapter to historic townhouse fabric
In the historic Neve Tzedek neighbourhood of Tel Aviv, this patio house is an extension and preservation of a townhouse completed in 2020. At the outset of the project, Meirav Galan Architect (MGA) noted that though suffering from neglect, the existing fabric nevertheless included impressively high ceilings, classic European wooden doors and windows, iron detailed balustrades, and a beautiful Mediterranean balcony with a Parisian touch.

Situated on a rectangular lot, the project includes the preservation of the existing building as required by local laws, partial demolition, and a newly built area that enlarges the townhouse from 250 m2 to 580 m2. Of this, 190 m2 of the newly constructed area is underground.

APARTMENT V2
The presented project is a result of a close collaboration between our studio and the clients. It was their input, the open-minded approach to new ideas and the ability to think about a non-ordinary lifestyle that made this project possible.
The apartment is situated at the first floor of a historical house in the center of Koper. The house was once a home of a noble family, but after WW II was divided in smaller apartments, as many others. Apart from the location, the façade and the various details, one of the main characteristics that testifies about the noble past of the building is the “piano nobile” with its great height of 4.3 meters.
In the attempt to restore some of the original glory of the building we were fac... More

Lakeview Residence
We were inspired to create our first authentic living space to reflect our client’s desire to live and work in his painting studio. The design emulates his painting style and personal lifestyle by using natural materials, minimalist values, and bridging social context within a live-work environment. The overall form takes on an ethos of monumental simplicity which inherently captures panoramic lake views from the steep mountainside terrain.
As part of authentic living, this studio is entirely devoid of added paints or stains. The exterior walls are made of exposed rammed earth construction set atop a giant plinth of exposed concrete. The interior features natural plywood finishes and exposed structural beams. We focused all of our... More
