Villas in Olive Grove, Costa Navarino

The design concept is driven by the dialectic relationships forming the triptych of nature, memory, and form. At the core of this project’s approach lies the olive tree as a compositional center of gravity, while its enveloping volumes – which allure to these of a traditional olive press factory – set an earthy scene. Solids and voids frame the sacred tree in diverse ways, accentuating the building’s spatial experience. Yiorgis Yerolymbos Yiorgis Yerolymbos Stone, mud, render, and wood are intertwined in a powerful narrative sequence and follow a distinct formal articulation, pushing the boundaries of traditional craftsmanship. The buildings’ formal structure aims to create varied spaces – whet... More

Dolor y Gloria

The house is located in the countryside south of Verona, on the edge of a small town surrounded by cultivated fields and productive buildings. Lorenzo Linthout Lorenzo Linthout Lorenzo Linthout Lorenzo Linthout The direction of the project follows the proportions of the agricultural plot: the intuition, once the minimum distances from the boundaries have been identified, is to draw the building perimeter and distribute the functions along this edge, creating a large central void. Lorenzo Linthout Lorenzo Linthout Lorenzo Linthout The patio-house typology generates a clear separation between public and private domestic life, which becomes essential within a small community.  Lorenzo Linthout...

I MIRADOR

On the seventh and eighth floor of the new hotel 21 House of Stories Navigli is I MIRADOR, two squares suspended over the city. Inspired by the Spanish word mirador, we designed a space where people can enjoy a panoramic view of Milan.  The terrace on the seventh floor hosts a swimming pool, a lounge area, a cocktail bar and a long high table through which people can enjoy the splendid view. Michele Nastasi Michele Nastasi Michele Nastasi The water, emphasised by the reflective surfaces of the bar counter and the pool, the combination of hand-decorated ceramics, graphics, shades of blue, and the lush vegetation give a 'Mediterranean' touch to the design. One can sit by the pool on cushions or cosy daybeds, upholstered i... More

House above the lake

The "House above the Lake" is situated on the northern slope of Lake Zurich. The sculptural building is enclosed by its rough surface facing the slope-side street, while it opens up towards the lake through its generous windows. Ruedi Walti Considering the topographical conditions and the positioning of surrounding buildings and trees, the private areas have been concentrated on the middle floor. This arrangement allows the attic and garden floors to be utilized as living spaces, with one offering an almost uninterrupted view of the lake, and the other providing direct access to the garden. The centerpiece of the house is the two-story entrance, which serves as a walk-in sculpture, incorporating exposed concrete and walnut wood to har... More

Eliza House

CLIENT BRIEF Eliza House is located in an enviable neighbourhood pocket of Black Rock; within 400m to picturesque Beach Road and walking distance to the Sandringham Beach Foreshore Reserve. The homeowners had a clear ambition of laying roots with their young family in this Bayside community and setting up their forever home. The previous dwelling was a Post-war double-fronted brick-veneered house which was part of the common building stock of its time and did not hold any heritage significance. The old house had familiar characteristics of its Post-war pedigree by way of low ceilings and an awkwardly laid out horse-shoe internal configuration, so the logical decision was made to take a knock-down/rebuild approach. Dave Kulesza The ow... More

PG HOUSE

This house is a significant example of a path along which every proposal and choice were custom-made. Every detail, material and piece of furniture were tailored thanks to a continuous dialog. The rich exchange between the studio and the client resulted in a very solid house: two opposing prisms, distinguished also by two different claddings. The volume in foreground is plastered in gray, the largest one is cladded in Cardoso stone, which is also used for all the external flooring and for the ground floor, indoors. Be Architettura Where there is no stone, the clad and other furnishings are made of different materials, but everything is in the same shade of gray to feed the perception of a solidly grounded house. The indoors landscape... More
