Villa JJ

Villa JJ is located on a cliff on the shoreline of Stockholm's southern archipelago. The climate here can be harsh, nature is shaped by rain and storms as much as by sun and drought. The local building tradition is characterized by simple buildings, often gathered in clusters to provide protection for each other, such as fishermen's sheds or small farms. The houses were low, clad with wood boards, gray or almost white. Mikael Lundblad Mikael Lundblad Mikael Lundblad Building in this environment is about working with the few materials that the site and circumstances provide. The building tradition is our inspiration, but the conditions today are not quite the same as before. We want to maintain the attitude of traditional con... More

Departamento Sadro

This is a remodeling project of a recently delivered apartment in one of the newest and most innovative developments in the city of Puebla. With a program defined by the original architectural plan, the focus of the project was to capture the lifestyle of the users in these new spaces, reforming for this reason, the service area, generating a completely new "pantry" space and a new service bar towards the kitchen and social area.  Alejandro Mirsha The rest of the spaces were redefined with fixed elements and furniture, which, obeying the needs of the users, generated a large main room, a dining room and a new decompression space between the access and the social area, as a living room.  Alejandro Mirsha The entire...

Two villas - Flesaasveien

Elegantly placed and intertwined with the sloping terrain, the two villas on Flesaasveien have a simple yet striking volume. The two buildings are positioned next to an existing house in a residential neighbourhood to the north of Oslo, Norway. The surrounding area is characterised by its green and open spaces. With a sensitivity to the surrounding context and site conditions, this densification project eases into the neighbourhood without overcrowding the site. A combination of curves and straight lines in the project gives a refreshing but modern addition. The exterior is clad in untreated heartwood of pine, outer corners rounded to provide a dynamic yet soft and fluid appearance. Einar Aslaksen Einar Aslaksen Fitting two addit... More

SHL

An apt. in Giva'atain which went under a makeover and turned into a magazine worthy flat with a unique Nordic vibe.The flat had an excellent structure, permanent carpentry items and most importantly amazing natural light.It was hard not to fall in love :)The lovely client, Lihi, has a great eye for details and an exquisite taste. She wanted a fresh start which we achieved by replacing all of the furniture, textile, light fixtures and accessories. One unique challenge we needed to resolve was the location and setting of the TV. We wanted the living room to stay in its previous location and layout but also wanted the TV to be seen from the kitchen and dinning area and from the workspace. The creative solution was found in a product we sp... More

They invoke the image of a forest of birch trees, their trunks — tall, narrow, light — allowing the passage of the wind while creating a landscape that is rarefied yet defined.... More
