KAAP Blanc
At a unique location on the banks of the IJ in Amsterdam-Noord, the residential tower Kaap: Blanc is being realised. The tower consists of 18 apartments, each located on one of the corners, with different panoramic views along the IJ and the skyline of the city. The alternating balconies fan out to all sides of the building and give a sense of space and freedom.
Blanc is part of the KAAP project, which consists of five different residential towers with apartments directly on the IJ. Located right in the middle, Blanc takes a prominent place in the area. The omnidirectional building provides a different perspective from every side and the double-height entrance sets the tone of the building. A park surrounding the residential towers will be... More

B.R.I.O. – Alles auf Schiene!
At construction site D12 in the “Neues Landgut” urban development area near the main train station in Vienna, we collaborated with our colleagues from Dietrich Untertrifaller Architekten (DTFLR) to create the resident-friendly, recyclable, inclusive, and welcoming residential project — B.R.I.O.

The photographic report focuses on the overall structure of the building, including façades, common areas, circulation spaces, terraces, and underground levels. The aim of the documentation was to provide a complete visual record of the project, reflecting its spatial organization and construction logic as built.

The Gable Villa
The project site was located in a township (Ferdows Complex) in northern Iran whose construction regulations limited the building height to seven meters. In response to this restriction, the Gable Villa emerged from the fusion of two familiar typologies: the vernacular pitched roof of northern Iran and the orthogonal form typical of contemporary Iranian villas.

This integration made it possible to create a public space with a generous height at the heart of the house; a central void whose triangular section allows the maximum possible floor area on the upper level to be dedicated to the bedrooms. At the same time, the main space of the building possesses the archetypal sense of enclosure and security associa... More

Algarve Housing
Real estate development of 24 terraced houses with a contemporary style that responds to the natural surroundings of the Algarve, close to the beach.
We designed homes with open and comfortable layouts, creating bright spaces of high architectural quality, blurring the boundaries between interior and exterior. The aim is to achieve the feeling of a detached single-family house by providing each space with large windows and cross ventilation, improving energy efficiency and allowing the sea breeze to flow through.

Residential Building Langhag
This multi-family building with five condominiums is situated on a hillside in the Ergolz Valley, in a quiet residential area. The two-story structure, with its recessed penthouse and ground floor, is articulated by its L-shape, featuring two sloping sides and a staggered volume.

The building maintains an appropriate scale and integrates seamlessly into the surrounding, predominantly small-scale neighborhood.

The light-filled stairwell with elevator is located at the heart of the building, connecting the various sections. This creates interesting multi-level spaces and visual connections. Each apartment culminates in an open-plan living/dining area with an adjoining covered patio.... More

Benelux901
On the vibrant Beneluxlaan in Utrecht, a new landmark is taking shape: Benelux901, a forward-thinking residential building that not only addresses the urgent housing demand but also makes a bold statement in sustainability and façade architecture.
Benelux901 will house 200 mid-rent apartments, consisting of two- and three-room units ranging from 53 to 84 m². In addition, the building includes approximately 600 m² of commercial space, a parking garage with 87 spaces, and 667 bicycle spots.

Hirschfeld BF III - Naturnah wohnen
Residential development and kindergarten [Vienna, W]
The master plan—developed by our colleagues at Shibukawa Eder Architects—forms the overarching framework for the Hirschfeld area. Based on the zoning plan, the property on Gerasdorfer Straße is divided into four building plots. These, in turn, are clearly zoned into two areas with different requirements – the noisier southern zone on the busy road and the quieter northern zone, adjacent to the forest area along Sowinetzgasse. Our building plot is located on Gerasdorferstraße and comprises two typologies developed in the master plan: two terraced houses that step down towards Gerasdorferstraße to respond to the buildings opposite, and a point bl...

Trakt Glynianskyi Housing
The Residential Complex on Trakt Glynianskyi is a space designed for contemporary urban living, where comfort, aesthetics, and functionality come together in harmony. The architecture is defined by clean lines, panoramic glazing, and light-colored facades that create a sense of spaciousness and ease. A thoughtfully planned layout forms a car-free inner courtyard with areas for walking, children’s play, sports, relaxation, and greenery.
This complex is more than just housing — it’s a place for life in all its forms. It offers comfort for both young professionals and families with children. The ground floors will feature commercial infrastructure: cafés, shops, and services — everything needed for everyday life... More

Vashingtona Street Housing
The complex is located in the southeastern part of the city at a distance of approximately 4 km from Rynok Square the area, has recently undergone a significant rethinking and is gradually transforming from an industrial zone into a modern multifunctional comfortable living and working area with all the necessary infrastructure. A separate significant advantage of this complex’s location is its proximity to Pohulyanka Park, which makes it possible to combine the benefits of living in a bustling city with quiet walks in the peacefulness of a picturesque green area. Thus, the residents of the complex enjoy a unique opportunity to live at the intersection of two worlds: a dynamic urban environment and a tranquil, harmonious natural setti... More

Malogoloskivska Hills Housing
The Malogoloskivska Street area began to expand around 2012, and development companies, represented by architectural projects of varying complexity and price categories, are still building new projects in this neighbourhood.
Marina Grynykha
Our task was to bring the complex to completion, creating a semi-enclosed neighbourhood. With this project, we wanted to create a comfortable environment for perception both from the street and from the courtyard. The limited construction budget led to the use of a white wet-ventilated facade with plastic elements in different parts of the building to create visual accents.

The residential complex consists of 10 buildings, varying in height from two to 10 storeys, as well as a... More

Efremova Street Housing
An inconspicuous mansion of the early 20th century lived out its days on a plot sandwiched between ordinary buildings of 3-4 floors, built in the early 20th century.
Repeatedly reconstructed and divided into apartments in the Soviet era, the house didn’t attract the inhabitants for a happy life between higher buildings. According to the project, “filling” the gap in the ordinary building was realized by constructing a building with modern facades, but with the preservation of outline and villa’s facades, which was previously the only building on the site.
This is the first project in Lviv with a car elevator to enter the parking lot.

Warsaw Street Housing
The design site is located in the northern part of Lviv and is quite important in terms of urban planning fabric, as the building completes Vyacheslav Chornovil Avenue with its silhouette. Therefore, it was decided to make the facades as laconic and interesting as possible, using techniques that will help the building be perceived as a whole from both long and short distances.

The horizontal division of the façade will not clash with the silhouette of the temple to be built nearby, as sacred buildings are usually stretched vertically. The facade is designed in two materials: the main framework is in dark colour, and the serpentine plastic of the protruding structures is... More
