Metroteka
Metroteka is the first public library located inside a metro station in Poland. Situated within Warsaw's Metro Kondratowicza station, the project was conceived as a response to a simple observation: while contemporary libraries increasingly compete for people's time and attention, millions of urban residents spend a significant part of their lives moving through transit spaces every day.
Rather than expecting people to make a separate trip to culture, Metroteka brings culture directly into the rhythm of daily life.
The project transforms a place traditionally associated with movement, routine, and haste into a space that encourages discovery, learning, and brief moments of pause. Positioned along one of Warsaw's everyday commuting routes,... More

Komorebi Pavilion
Komorebi:
“Japanese word that describes sunlight filtering through the leaves of trees, creating a shimmering interplay of light and shadow that moves with the wind.” This pavilion is a project developed within the course Making Pavilions. Experimental Ephemeral Architectures with Parametric Design, part of the Master's and Diploma in Construction of Architectural Works (MDCOA), and the Digital Integration Center (CID), at the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urbanism (FADU/UDELAR). The goal was to create ephemeral wooden architecture, designed using parametric design tools and materialized through subtractive digital fabrication techniques.

Sahara Mall Riyadh
In 2019, we were commissioned to create a series of sculptural benches for Sahara Mall in Riyadh, transforming public seating into an artistic and functional experience. The project brought together parametric design, advanced digital fabrication, and meticulous craftsmanship, resulting in a collection of 16 benches and 6 Rain Gatherer tables.
Caption
Parametric Design: The Intersection of Math and ArtAt the heart of the project was parametric design, an approach where complex forms are generated using algorithms and computational modeling. Unlike traditional furniture, these benches were not drawn by hand but calculated through precise mathematical formulas, allowing organic, fluid shapes that feel both natural and futuristic.

Suliman Tea, Unizah
Suliman Tea: A Facade that Breathes
Located in the heart of Saudi Arabia, where the arid climate influences both form and function, Suliman Tea is a small, yet thoughtfully crafted cafe. The architecture addresses the local environment with an innovative facade that balances aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability. The design reflects a simple yet sophisticated approach to shading, ventilation, and integration with the surrounding landscape.

Facade Design: A Rainfall Pattern of Brick
The cafe’s defining feature is its brick facade, arranged in a rainfall pattern. As the bricks cascade from the top of the structure, they create a dynamic interplay of density and transparency. The top section is tightly packed, off... More

Uncloud Coffee
Uncloud Coffee sits strategically on Khao Lam Road in Chonburi Province, occupying a sharply triangular site adjacent to the main thoroughfare leading from Bang Saen, with majestic mountain views forming a stunning backdrop. The architectural plan masterfully exploits the site's triangular shape, extending the building along the roadside in three core zones: a welcoming main entrance that combines a bar and seating area, an outdoor lounge encapsulated within a verdant courtyard, and a tranquil internal area for seating and client workspaces.

Gyro
Following the principles of Parametric Design, Gyro is a perfect spark that your coffee table conversation needs. The inriguing design rocks a contrasting silver coloured piece in between. On the top is Antique silver mirrored glass, which has both the properties, mirror and transparent. What makes Gyro more interesting is the fact that it looks different from all the angles. More
Pantheon Espresso Bar
Pantheon espresso bar is one of the oldest and most central café bars in Pyrgos Helias, Greece.Our approach targeted at creating a strong identity of the store, combining ordinary material textures within a contemporary framework. The interior design is visually externalized to the public space (pedestrian street), setting the café as a landmark while creating a continuum between internal and external space.
Caption
The interior surfaces (walls, bar, lights) are covered with a “skin” made of familiar materials (plywood, black iron sheets, granite) processed with a contemporary way employing novel techniques both in terms of design (scripting) and fabrication (CNC milling machine, Plasma Cutter).

Smarnakis Patisserie
The design for this project aimed at creating a contemporary image of the store reflecting the identity. Basic restriction was to re-use the existing devices (fridges) of the premises, in Pyrgos, Elis.
Caption
Based on these criteria and restrictions our proposal focused in the creation of a protagonist piece which occupies the main wall of the store and is visible from the exterior
Caption
The design of this surface derives from the abstract interpretation of the form of patisserie cream. We have designed a surface (9.5 m x 3.2 m) which morphologically is a continuous surface with gradual and fluid deformations which has been implemented as a series of consecutive steel profiles.

Anemos beach bar
The proposal aimed at the formation of a unique identity for the café Anemos Kourouta through the design of its interior implementing a singular system in its internal envelope. This was pursued by the creation of a continuous inner “skin”, which derived from wind flow diagrams and was based on the name of the café (Ανεμος is wind in Greek). This interior surface covered the interior walls with a total length of 45 meters and surface of 230 m2.
Caption
The structure is a composite multi-leveled surface that extends gradationally upwards, towards the interior. The frame was composed by curved steel beams and the cladding was made out of orthogonal wood pieces with a gra... More

Morphosis completes titanium clad convention center alongside the Yangtze river
Morphosis was inspired by the flowing curves of the Yangtze river that were echoed in the undulating roof. The titanium roof paneling refers to sunlight shimmering on the water surface.
Fangfang Tian
The building program is divided into a horizontal conference center and a vertical hotel tower with 340 rooms overlooking the river. The site’s boundaries shape the building’s wavelike form.
Fangfang Tian
The north side of the tower, facing the city, utilizes a metal brise-soleil system that shades the building during the day and integrated lighting lights up in the evening.

Heatherwick turns derelict pier into urban oasis from hectic New York City life
Heatherwick Studio set the original brief to create a pavilion on an enlarged waterfront jetty aside for the opportunity to rethink what a pier could be. On top of the stumps remains of a former pier the studio realized a completely new park as an oasis away from busy city life.
Timothy Schenck
Typical pier structures are flat, but Heatherwick lifts the surface to create an exciting height difference. The elevation allows for new sightlines to the park and lookout points over the river. At the same time the lifted corner lets direct sunlight reach the marine habitat that formed over time in between the piles.
Timothy Schenck
“We had the idea to make an entirely new type of pier as a lush rectangular garden island... More

White Alien
This is a residential interior design called White Alien designed by Amirali Bahmani at AAB ARCHITECT Studio in 2019.
INSPIRATIONIn today's world, most spaces, including residential areas are not futuristic. The designer's goal was to create a unique futuristic space that would satisfy the needs of residents in addition to the visual appeal.
PROJECT DESCRIPTIONIt is a residential conceptual interior design that fits the project's limitations such as area, floor to ceiling height, column location, shear wall, ceiling beam hanging, walls and installations. To make the space look simple and large, glossy white and black colors have been selected. Since the designer could not move up and down in designing the ceiling, a parametric two-dimensi... More

Two Spaces Two Moments
The pavilion 2 spaces 2 moments is the duality in which the outer space, the large scale space on everyone’s sight, captures the attention of pedestrians with a powerful yet small light threshold, inviting them to discover what is beyond, creating the first moment. The inner space is the second moment of the experience. Inside this small and quiet place made by a geometrical complex surface formed with more than 60 triangle pieces and 1,800 joints, 2 facing mirrors highlight the perspective inside the pavilion, while color and different kinds of lighting nurture this experience and create an endless loop of the inner space. The serenity of the pavilion contrast with the dynamics of geometry, perspective and fullness of color. More
