AURUS Residences will become the first building of the development and the tallest residential skyscraper in Russia and Europe, with a total height of 394.6 meters. Basis architectural bureau Basis architectural bureau One of the problems we faced when working on the project were the initial conditions of the Moscow-City – hyperdense urban environment in which citizens hardly ever want to spend their time outdoors: strong wind currents, heavy pedestrian traffic and objective lack of space. Our main goal was to soften the harsh urban environment and to create the feeling of calm and support for the cit... More

"The Inari Sámi name Šielâ could be translated as a birth gift given to a newborn for protection." Šielâ, a new school center, was the answer to the need to replace an old, 1960s school decommissioned due to indoor air problems.

The Caspian House is a study in turning constraints into centerpieces. Positioned along Westlake Avenue at the edge of MacRitchie Reservoir, the residence transforms its most challenging site condition - the adjacent Lornie Highway - into its most atmospheric feature. The rear façade is engineered as a solid acoustic shield, while a cascading waterfall screens urban noise through the constancy of moving water, cooling the air and defining the spatial mood of the home’s social heart. An Architectural Dialogue  Winner of the 2026 International Property Award for Best Residential Development (Singapore), the design breaks from traditional semi-detached symmetry. It acts as a sophisticated "architectu... More

The site of the former Saint-Thomas leprosarium offers an opportunity to revitalize its heritage through the renovation of its old chapel and the creation of an introductory and discovery path.  Gilles Targat Gilles Targat Designed as a thematic walk, the trail invites visitors to reflect on the disease and the place of the sick in the Middle Ages. It is organized around the notion of the ostracism of lepers, revealing the mechanisms of exclusion that shaped medieval society. The path is punctuated by interpretive elements designed by the agency. Totems mark the route, engraved with eleven symbols known as “defenses” representing lepers and their relationship to the world of the healthy. The starting point, named... More

The project is located in the heart of the Sancerre wine region, in Chavignol. The owner, a wine producer, entrusted the agency with the design and construction of his family home, conceived as a living space that is both intimate and open to the landscape. The hillside site offers exceptional views of the slopes where the client's vineyards extend. This rich and soothing view guided the design of the spaces from the outset.

The Huawei R&D Campus in Guangzhou was conceived not as a single architectural object, but as a fragment of city carefully assembled along the river’s edge. The project is located on Songnan Road in Baiyun District, Guangzhou and has a mixed-use district with a total gross floor area of approximately 300,000 square metres, comprising eight office buildings, one hotel, and an exhibition hall converted from a former sugar factory. The buildings along the riverfront create a varied and layered skyline, with heights reaching up to approximately 80 metres.

The task at hand was to create a distinctive park that would smoothly blend into rich environment — ‘Tomilino Park’ residential development on the one side, and both a thick forest and Mirny and Oktyabrsky settlements on the other. The work on the project started with participatory design, in which locals, who shared their thoughts and wishes regarding changing the land, were actively involved. Ilya Ivanov for Basis architectural bureau Ilya Ivanov for Basis architectural bureau For the pavilion design, we wanted to combine the use of natural materials and the stylistics reflecting the park’s main theme that is the birds’ plumage and shapes of the wings. The park includes several birdwatching spots,... More

A contemporary sanctuary rooted in Kent’s natural beauty Set amidst the rural landscape of Kent within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), the design of The Mole House has a discreet presence enhanced by the screening provided by trees, while the natural materials and colour palette allow the home to blend into its surroundings. Despite its contemporary approach, the house feels inherently tied to its setting, as though it has always belonged. Emrys Architects provided detailed design expertise for the building envelope and the feature staircase – while the client took a hands-on role, with Adrian managing much of the construction process and Amy personally completing the interiors. This partnership has resulted in a... More

The building plot featured a natural slope and was located on the outskirts of Lamporecchio, at the junction of two roads leading toward the town center. The previous owner anticipated future development by modifying the site's original topography. By adding fill, he created a level platform that improved views and increased privacy from the street. This elevated, panoramic corner serves as the conceptual starting point for a project focused on engaging with the surrounding landscape while maintaining the privacy requested by the client. The residence is designed as two superimposed and offset parallelepiped volumes—simple, solid forms whose interplay creates visual interest. The upper volume, more prominently visible from the road,... More

Shilamay A Home That Breathes, Plays, and Belongs Set in the warm landscape of Ahmedabad, this home designed and inhabited by the architect and his family is an intimate experiment in how architecture can be both deeply grounded and joyfully alive. Built with locally sourced stone and finished with traditional lime plaster, the house draws from vernacular wisdom to stay naturally cool through the city’s harsh summers. The lime finish lends a soft, breathing quality to the walls as they age gracefully, holding traces of sunlight, shadow, and time. Every stone surface, both inside and out, tells a story through its changing texture as daylight moves across it. VINAY PANJWANI VINAY PANJWANI VINAY PANJWANI VINAY PANJWA... More

After being commissioned by the administration of Domodedovo, we have devised a landscape architecture design for an urban forest located in a scenic village of Galchino. An important feature of this urban forest is that it is located far from large settlements, which makes it a real natural courtyard for the locals. For the landscape design, we chose a style ideally fit for a small park. Small population and mostly low-rise buildings nearby allowed us to create a park with an intimate feel that well combines the air of cozyness and wilderness. Dmitry Chebanenko for Basis architectural bureau Dmitry Chebanenko for Basis architectural bureau When working on the forest design, we considered the fact that there is a green patch next... More
