Okavango Residences
Okavango Residences explores how the qualities of domestic architecture can inform a contemporary model for safari hospitality. Rather than organising accommodation as a collection of guest suites connected by communal facilities, the project reimagines the traditional safari lodge as a series of private residences, bringing the intimacy, permanence and familiarity of home into an immersive wilderness setting.
Situated along the banks of the Okavango River, the architecture responds to the contrasting conditions of the site. Dense riverine woodland creates a sense of concealment on arrival, before the landscape gradually opens towards the river and expansive floodplains beyond. The residence is conceived around this transition, with a sequ... More

Underground Spa
The tourist farmstead complex, a former mill, comprises a cluster of five buildings. They stand in a forest-encircled clearing, with a stream running between them. The entire estate is designed, both architecturally and aesthetically, in a classic rustic manner, and the setting's scenography is romantic and idyllic.

As part of the next phase of expanding its tourist offering, the farmstead's owners planned the construction of anew spa, directly connected to the existing apartment building. A steep slope right beside the existing structure allows the new addition to be fully embedded into the terrain, preserving and protecting the farmstead's authentic appearance. At... More

Jamul Casino Resort
Luxury hospitality design is often defined by the details that shape a guest's experience without demanding attention. At Jamul Casino Resort in Southern California, decorative wire mesh is used to create two distinctive ceiling features that add warmth, movement, and architectural character throughout the property. The resort's recent expansion introduced new hotel, entertainment, and hospitality amenities designed to elevate the guest experience into a true destination resort.
Above the resort's bar areas, Banker Wire's M33-5 decorative wire mesh in a Plated Antique Copper finish serves as a dramatic ceiling cladding element. The rich metallic finish complements the surrounding interior palette while introducing texture and depth overhea... More

Rather than altering the building extensively, the design builds upon its existing architectural language. The pitched roof, generous volumes and natural light establish the foundation for a contemporary interior that feels both familiar and refined. New insertions are intentionally minimal, allowing the original architecture to rem... More

ONSEN
The concept is shaped around a preserved pine forest and natural thermal waters, where the idea of daily restoration is embedded into the very way of life. It is designed for people who value a balance between activity and quiet, who work in dynamic environments yet need regular physical and mental recovery without leaving the city.The key feature is the fusion of an urban квартал typology, suburban living, and a resort: perimeter block development forms a protected inner forest core, while the architecture operates below the tree canopy, avoiding competition with nature. The concept is reinforced by the Japanese philosophy of onsen — as a ritual of silence, water, and balance — expressed through spa infrastructure, thermal bath... More

nishiki japanese restaurant
When we first visited the site, we knew Nishiki should feel different from a typical suburban Japanese restaurant. Instead of recreating a traditional izakaya, we wanted to create an atmosphere that felt contemporary, warm, and memorable while still respecting Japanese culture.

The defining feature became the suspended timber ceiling. Surprisingly, its inspiration came from something very ordinary — stacks of lumber commonly seen on construction sites. We were fascinated by the rhythm created by seemingly random timber pieces, and transformed that observati... More

CONSTRUCTIVIST HOTEL COMPLEX
Located in St. Petersburg, this hotel complex is conceived as a low-impact intervention embedded within a forested landscape. The project prioritises integration with its natural surroundings, using spatial organisation, material selection, and passive design strategies to minimise visual and environmental impact.

The masterplan is composed of several detached volumes with restrained geometries, connected by a continuous glased axis that functions as the main circulation and viewing spine. This configuration preserves permeability across the site while allowing for both open communal areas and more private zones. The ground level remains porous, with interior spaces extending directly into terraces... More

Estia - Lindos Mare
Estia is conceived as a dual-identity dining space—open and sunlit for breakfast, then transitioning into an intimate fine-dining environment by evening. Integrated within the Lindos Mare Resort in Rhodes, the project draws architectural inspiration from the island’s fortified heritage and the enduring spatial language of the Medieval cityof Rhodes.

Materiality forms the backbone of the concept. Form and geometry speak rhythm and balance. Monolithic,stone sculptured walls echoing the surrounding landscape. Natural steel combined with brushed warm wood and natural textiles. All materials work in harmony to tell a unified story, creating a space that feels inspirational yet comfortably laid-back.

The exterior utilizes layered geometries and expansive glazing to form a circular structure that responds directly to climate and orientation. A facade system of double-layered glazing and extended overhangs reduces solar heat gain, while structural clarity and transparency connect the interior with the landscaped surrou... More

Son of a Fish
Bringing the soul of the Athenian Riviera to Dubai Harbour. Where the sound of the sea meets the rhythm of the night, Son of a Fish is a coastal Greek restaurant shaped by its waterfront surroundings and inspired by Mediterranean seaside living. The restaurant reflects a social dining culture where atmosphere, texture and energy come together naturally, allowing the experience to evolve from day into evening as the marina transforms after sunset.

Nedarag Guesthouse
The Nedarag Guesthouse is a non-profit, community-driven project in a remote yet tourist-friendly Sunni-Baluch village in Baluchestan, Iran. Designed and built by NextOffice in close partnership with residents, it comprises three residential units (five rooms) and a small service block clustered around a shaded central courtyard. This courtyard functions as more than a circulation space—it hosts tourists, serves as a playground for children, and accommodates informal social gatherings, including women’s Chelim (hookah) and men’s Dikki. Drawing on local materials and techniques such as dry-stacked stone, palm-derived elements, and traditional Kapar typology, the project reinterprets vernacular architecture for contemporary... More

Borgo Banditaccia
Set along the ridge of a Maremma hillside, between two valleys and in visual dialogue with the distant fortress of Magliano in Tuscany, Borgo Banditaccia is restored as a unified organism. A rural settlement that shaped the agricultural landscape for over a century, later reduced to a fragmented presence, now re-emerges through a project that weaves together architecture, landscape, and the human dimension of living.
Andrea Ceriani
The intervention is not conceived as a simple renovation, but as a process of reconciliation between rural memory and a contemporary way of inhabiting. The project takes as its generative core the only authentic remnants of the original complex—the vaulted cart tracks and the compact northern volume&m... More

Modern Restaurant in a Converted Stable in Vienna
This project transforms a former rural stable in Vienna into a contemporary restaurant while preserving the spatial identity of the original structure. Rather than erasing its past, the design builds on the existing volume, using it as a framework for a new program and social experience.

The intervention is defined by a careful balance between preservation and addition. The double-height hall remains the core of the project, maintaining the scale and character of the agricultural building. New insertions — including a mezzanine level and a sculptural staircase — introduce a clear spatial hierarchy while remaining visually lightweight and reversible.
