The power of family traditions combined with the creative power of architects is the lifeblood of an atmospheric home.The apartment with a panoramic view of the right bank of Kyiv was created with a recognizable, bright color in the "colonial loft" style - a mix of classic European architectural traditions with hot ethnic and vintage elements from the cultures of the East. Andrey Avdeenko Andrey Avdeenko Andrey Avdeenko The entrance group is green and blue, symbolizing the activity inherent in the owners of the house in Eastern cultures.

This project was implemented on the territory of an already existing family house. This cosy chalet was created thanks to a combination of opposites – as a hiding place for solitary meditations and relaxation from the frantic pace of life or a place for warm meetings with close friends and active communication. Serhii Polyushko From the outside, the austere and minimalist building has enormous stained glass windows to incorporate the vast and varied panorama of the garden into the interior. Adjoining territory created the landscape long before the idea of its construction. Our task was to fit it harmoniously into the existing environment. Serhii Polyushko The building on stilts is elevated above the ground. The chalet&rsq... More

The apartment is located on the 5th floor of a house from the early 20th century in a residential part of Prague and has an area of 100 m2. South-facing windows ensure very good daylight and a pleasant atmosphere throughout the apartment. Alexander Dobrovodsky We adapted the classic layout with individual rooms and a long entrance hall to the current ways of living, cooking and relaxing by removing most of the partitions. In this way, we turned an ordinary 2 + 1 (2 rooms + kitchen) into an open loft with a steel-glass partition into the bedroom. Privacy is additionally insured by a velvet curtain. Alexander Dobrovodsky The resulting 80-meter open space is divided through colors and materials. While the bedroom is a teal cube, th... More

Worrell Yeung’s Broadway Loft project consists of the gut renovation of a unitin the NoMad neighborhood of Manhattan’s historic Gilsey House building, originally a Beaux Arts style hotel built in 1867, for a couple and their young son. The family had lived in the apartment for nearly 14 years and had been looking to purchase a new home to solve their growing need for additional space, privacy, and storage.

If redesigned to create more storage, enhanced access to natural light, and an additional bathroom and bedroom, it could be their i... More

The intrigue of the large volume of interior space in these existing New Orleans Shotgun dwellings directed the concept of converting this space and flow into a more efficient and modern design. Challenges to this project included specific restrictions due to its unusual property boundary as well as budget limitations. However, this afforded me the full autonomy of the project design and execution. Caption Caption Seeing the extensive attic space in historic shotguns as advantageous, two levels were created optimizing every inch of height to produce a spacious yet intimate area for bedrooms. Locating the kitchen and more ‘public’ space towards the front afforded efficiency to the circulation of the residence. At the i... More

ANALYSIS1.  A groundbreaking architectural vocabularyDefining the POINT and the LINE, W. Kandinsky and P. Klee have identified rich symbolic and conceptual content to these archetypal engravings. With their theoretical and painting work, the modern masters of abstraction laid the principles for a methodical composition on canvas, based on these primary Elements.What would the content of this radical vocabulary be if, reductively in some way, it was to be extended to the "3D canvas"?Extruded to the third dimension, the POINT, the LINE and the...
