Casa Favaloro
The commission was requested by a couple with a high profile on social media, and the site for its construction was a sunny plot overlooking an artificial lake with four willows along the shore, located in a private neighbourhood in the suburban area of Greater Buenos Aires.

BRUTO STUDIO
Upon arrival from the street, the sole access point, a tectonic object is perceived, resulting from operations of clean and abstract prisms, not recognisable with the scales of domestic typologies commonly used in the area. A priori, an impenetrable intimacy. Intimacy is not merely a private space or a personal secret, but an effect of language that presupposes an implicit community. This signifies... More

Children's Grove on the hill
Located in the southern part of Újbuda hills, between the prefabricated apartment blocks from the socialist era and a modern housing area of real estate developers, Madárhegy has been populated mainly with small garden apartment buildings in the last ten years. Many of the new residents are families with children, so there was a significant demand for children's facilities. Recognising this, the municipality has planned a development including a nursery, kindergarten, a paediatric clinic and a public playground. The architects and landscape architects wanted the design to evoke the original grove feel of the site. Thus the "children's grove" was born.

Product • By Vivian Chen • Fold Stool
Fold Stool
The Fold Stool draws inspiration from the subtle interplay of light and form, exploring how light interacts with angled surfaces, where shifts in geometry create varying brightness and shadows. Although the material remains constant, each facet of the stool reflects light differently depending on its orientation, allowing the same surface to present distinct visual characteristics. This play of light transforms the stool from a static object into something that feels alive, responding to its environment as the day progresses. It’s an exercise in balance—between consistency and change—inviting users to experience how light can alter and redefine even the simplest forms.
At the core of the Fold Stool is a minimal ye... More

Casa Metepec
Comfort and coziness were two of the premises behind the project.Together with them, we care for the environment, making it part of the house. As a result, we ensure the quality of life of the inhabitants. The proposal introduces some materials not typically used on site.

Orientation.
The first important decision was the orientation of the house. This is in Metepec, Mexico. The weather of the place is cold at certain hours and times of the year. We proposed the south orientation. In this way we capture the sun’s rays during winter. At the same time, by means of small overhangs, we avoid them in hot seasons.
We also exploit another local weather feature. Metepec has wide temperature variations throughout th... More

VALE DE ABELHA HOUSE
Located in a small village in Beira Baixa, the project House in Vale de Abelha resulted from the need to renovate and expand the pre-existing housing structure with typical vernacular features, adapting it to modern spatial and building requirements.
The pre-existing structure – a pet and farming produce shop on the ground floor and a residential upper floor – houses the new private rooms (bedrooms, sanitary facilities and laundry room), while the new volumetric area houses the social rooms (living and sitting rooms, kitchen and technical area), seeking to integrate it into the landscape through the use of noble and natural materials such as wood or stone.
The project thus results in the renovation of the traditional building... More
