Merate Residence
Set within one of Mario Botta’s landmark residential buildings in Merate, Italy, this private residence by m2atelier explores a refined dialogue between architectural monumentality and intimate domestic life.

Casa Vale de Margem
Some houses are made to be looked at, others to be lived in, others again to be walked on.
Once a farmhouse, tucked into rural Algarve (Southern Portugal) and surrounded by the luscious vegetation of a natural reserve, is now a conceptual space tuned in with the land topography and flooded with light and air.
Roof therapy should be the next trend, crossing spacial boundaries is liberating, empowering, and challenging.
This’s probably why the roof of Casa Vale do Margem is walkable.
The entire house is about movement.
Stepping from one room to another is an escalation of geometrical perfection, the additional wing gave sinuosity to the structure and a long external retaining wall marked the transition betwe... More
