CASA MARIDIA

Casa Maridia is located in a consolidated residential fabric of coastal character, with a strong historical load and situated between the railway line, the sea, and two of the city’s most emblematic beaches. This environment is characterized by containing plots of medium dimensions and diverse shapes, mostly with private gardens, which developed and was built mainly during the second half of the 20th century. In this context, the plot where the project is located presents an unusual configuration: a triangular half-moon shape that has notably conditioned its occupation. Although it was parceled in the 1970s, this morphological singularity has prevented it from being built until now, despite its privileged situation next to the main r... More

Mangal Veedu

Mangal Veedu is a minimalist residence located in the tranquil Sunny Vistaa Layout on Bagalur Road, Hosur. The home is defined by simplicity, with its large white façade as the standout feature. This façade enhances the minimalist aesthetic while protecting the interior from intense southwest sunlight, helping maintain a cool and comfortable living space. 0nebox 0nebox 0nebox Constructed with conventional materials, the house maximises natural light through large openings that blur the boundary between indoor and outdoor spaces. The entrance, highlighted by a Vengai wood door, adds warmth to the minimalist design. This is paired with a perforated steel mesh gate that provides security, ventilation, and visual c... More

Nomad Cabins x IKEA

Nomad Cabins collaborated with IKEA to create Cabin N, a prefabricated microhome that combines modular construction with eco-oriented design. Built from renewable and recyclable materials, the 21-square-metre cabin can house two people and features a flexible open‑plan living and sleeping area with kitchenette and bathroom. Cabin N was developed with a focus on material circularity and environmental responsibility. Nina Manchova, the CEO and founder of Nomad Cabins, explains: “Like most products, an entire house cannot be 100% cradle-to-cradle, but with Nomad Cabins, we are proud we ended up with a design where the windows and the steel frame on which the cabin is built are the only bits you need to recycle.” Nomad Cabins...

ELECTRIC BLUE 1.42

Bright, expressive, bold - this is how you can describe the #electricblue42 project The owners of this apartment also stand out among the majority of customers for their courage in making decisions. First of all, I was inspired by their attitude to rich colors in the apartment. At the very first meeting, I formed an association of this young couple with clean, bright blue. Imagine my surprise when they themselves brought examples of "blue" modern interiors as references for their residence! Mariia Sokhatska Mariia Sokhatska Secondly, clients were open to complete redevelopment.The location of the apartment on the 2nd floor allowed us to make drastic changes. We combined miniature rooms into an open space and changed the locatio... More

Heyford Avenue

The scheme provides a new rear single storey extension to a Victorian terraced flat in South London. The flat was in poor condition and required a full refurbishment and reconfiguration throughout. The clients, young professionals, were involved throughout the whole process and imagined a concept of light colours and natural materials. Rayan Bamhayan A minimal design in its purest form, the new rear open space aims to draw the garden into the interior. The detail of the interior is in keeping with the architectural concept. Walls and ceilings throughout the extension are finished in washed-plaster and micro-cement used in the shower room to also cover the ceiling, walls and ground to unify the space. Rayan Bamhayan The property... More

Atelier AA

Located in Funchal, in a residential area, the AA.Arquitectos atelier has been operating since 2019 in the attic of a duplex apartment. The intervention arises from the possibility of making the space independent of the apartment and from the need to reorganize the different functions of the space. AA. Arquitectos The opening of an access to the common circulation of the building and the introduction of a curtain that hides the duplex's vertical communication made it possible to deprive the studio of the apartment. AA. Arquitectos In the space consisting of the work space, the archive, the dining space, a toilet and a meeting room, there are two skylights. Longitudinally, on the side where the ceiling is lower, shelves were plac... More

Project • By STAR strategies + architectureCities

The Re-Creation of the European City - Urban Shopping list for Secondary Cities.

This study is meant to give a general idea of the elements that are shaping cities today. Cities of today have the same needs as those of hundreds of years ago: communication and representation. They need to be connected and they need to be attractive. The elements that provide these necessities change and evolve through time. I see the European City as an evolving system of re-invention of the res publica. However, today the shape of the city is not designed solely by architects, but also by developers and multinational companies. What once the Roman roads meant for communication is represented by Ryanair today. The cult and veneration that temples received centuries ago, is these days being given to Superstar Architecture. Could Ikea be t... More
