Casa Menta

Located in Koukaki, one of Athens' most vibrant residential neighbourhoods, Casa Menta is the renovation of a duplex apartment inspired by the colours, light and atmosphere of the Mediterranean landscape. The project began with the intention of transforming a conventional interior into a calm and contemporary living environment. Rather than introducing complexity through multiple materials and decorative elements, the design focuses on reduction. A continuous white architectural shell forms the backdrop of the apartment, reflecting natural light and creating a sense of openness throughout the two levels. Vasso Paraschi Vasso Paraschi Vasso Paraschi Functionally, the apartment was organized by preserving the shared living sp... More

Ramon Fontestad Park in Rocafort

The Ramón Fontestad Park is located, like a large balcony overlooking the huerta (Valencian historical orchard), on the eastern edge of Rocafort, bordering the Real Acequia de Moncada. This large green space acts as a mediator between the city and the orchard, dignifying this urban edge that until recently remained abandoned. Milena Villalba Milena Villalba Milena Villalba The design of the park refers to Rocafort's stonemasonry past, evoking, through the introduction of subtle topographic games, the quarries of Rocafort and Godella with which a large part of the historical Valencian buildings were constructed. These "new quarries" and the topographic elevations of the park, serve to articulate routes, uses, vegetatio... More

Limoneros House

The challenge was the renovation and extension of a semi-detached house but on  "villa style" mood. Our goal was to create a striking, modern home with light-filled open spaces and clean lines. Ana Mora Ana Mora Our proposal consisted of creating a new volumetric composition on the façade that would "accommodate" the extension, giving unity to the complex as well as its own and powerful identity. Ana Mora Ana Mora The house has a basement for parking. On the ground floor, there is the living room, the kitchen, a small toilet, an office and the master bedroom (which has its own bathroom and dressing room). The upper floor has 3 large bedrooms, a laundry room and a bathroom, as well as a south-facing terrace.... More

CASA 2F

Dino Maglie The project looks with a lot of attention the sorrounding city, made by abandoned spaces and buildings with a low quality. That's why the project's choise is the one of a not-dialog with the city, in order to get an architecture which discovers its-self in its inner spaces: a 12x12mt inner courtyard where all the spaces (living, kitchen, studio) can look.

Nesea

The project reinterprets the interiors of the Sorrento peninsula. The goal is to bring a sense of discovery back into the rooms. The project theme concerns the extension of a small apartment located in Piano di Sorrento. The need to have several bedrooms and a small reception area translates into an easily achievable and clear intervention for subdividing the spaces. The idea is to convey to the user the image of a "magical" and pleasant place to live. Carlo Oriente The use of architectural devices generates passages from one function to another, the use of the arch emphasizes the desire to create imaginary passages. The white of the walls contrasts with the shiny gray floor. The furnishings use the colors of the Mediterranean making... More

Car Collector´s Pavillion

Working together with a passionate car collector who owns a rural estate we have finished the design of two spaces for the growing collection of vintage and contemporary automobiles. Formed by two vaulted grid-shells in steel and glass that are nestled into the hillside, the exhibition spaces are part of a sequence of pavilions set into the extensive landscaped grounds. The tree cover and rolling hills of the context make them a distinguished and crystalline presence in nature. We were approached by a fellow classic car enthusiast to visit his car collection which is located in an old family estate on the coast. He is a passionate collector of automobiles and other technological objects and wanted to replan the storage and use of the groun... More

Mormaiquel house

Mormaiquel House, a rustic house located in Biniagual, a small town of about 15 houses and 20 inhabitants in the interior of Mallorca that has its origin in the Arab period. It is an isolated single-family home for a local couple and numerous animals on a 35,000m2 rustic plot surrounded by vineyards, with mountain views. Tomeu Canyellas The house is developed on a single ground floor, providing a horizontality to the house that is consistent with the size of the plot. All the rooms are directed to the best views and orientation, but not forgetting the connection with the rear, thus achieving cross ventilation, as well as views of all points of the plot. Tomeu Canyellas The style of the house is set by the strict regulations on... More

Casas Cartama

We started this assignment in order to give a new life to a real estate development that has been stagnant since 2004. Therefore, we have to adapt to an already executed concrete structure and design a new distribution, not only inside, generating more open spaces and diaphanous, but silvering a new way of life in the houses. Juanan Barros Juanan Barros Juanan Barros Juanan Barros We suppressed the external stairs of the plot to center the entrance to the house through the garage, making it more accessible and direct from the outside, and thus leaving the ground floor more flexible to relocate all the rooms and propose new façade openings that allow us to enjoy the wonderful views that this natural environment of...

Trade

When Trade opened its doors in 2011, they offered guests a revitalizing departure from everyday life, bringing fine Mediterranean cuisine to downtown Boston inspired by the deepest notions of the Greek way of life: conversation, sharing of plates, and relationship-building. Robert Umenhofer Photography Shortly after the fallout from the pandemic, co-owners Eric Papachristos and renowned Chef Jody Adams like most restauranteurs, were faced with the challenge of rethinking the design of the space to meet the needs of its future customers. In search of a partner that could work fast and within a modest budget, Papachristos and Adams enlisted Bergmeyer to help reimagine the design of Trade’s iconic 4,500 SQFT dining room for years t...

Berro House

Close to the Quinta del Berro Park, in a street bordered by leafy trees, we find this house built at the end of the 1920s. David Zarzoso The house, which was the residence of the sculptor Jorge de Oteiza in the 50s, was very damaged, and its facades had undergone numerous modifications. We began developing an investigation in the Archives of the city, which allowed us to discover the plans of the original project. David Zarzoso Based on this documentation, it is decided to recover the original image of the house: a white volume, with large windows to the outside and a Roman ceramic roof, surrounded by a garden that seems to climb the facade, by incorporating forged steel planters . David Zarzoso Inside the house we find a... More
