CLIFF VILLA

Built into the base of a coastal cliff in Turkey, CLIFF VILLA is a 400 m² residence that treats architecture as a continuation of the landscape rather than an intrusion on it. Designed by NUTRO studio for a young couple seeking privacy and proximity to the sea, the three-bedroom home reveals itself gradually — first the rock, then the architecture emerging beneath its overhang. Caption Caption Caption Caption The façade balances two materials in dialogue: vertical pylons in natural Antolini stone and horizontal Corten steel roofing and canopies. The rust tone of the steel echoes the surrounding dry grasses and the cliffside, while the stone's veining visually ties the structure to the mountain itself.... More

Sardinian Villa

Located in the Poetto district of Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy), a short distance from the long coastal strip that defines one of the city’s most recognizable landscapes, the villa originates from the transformation of an existing structure dating back to the late 1930s, offering an opportunity to reflect on the theme of transformation. The project, developed under the direction of Armando Bruno for Studio Marco Piva, treats the existing building as working material rather than something to be replicated or restored. The aim is not to reconstruct a presumed original authenticity, but to redefine the relationship between architecture, domestic space, and landscape through a comprehensive process of rewriting the building organism.

REINTERPRETING A VILLA IN ABU DHABI

The project reinterprets an existing villa through a new exterior concept that establishes a dialogue between contemporary architecture and Middle Eastern spatial traditions.

Lakeside Villa in Shanghai by WJ STUDIO

Collecting is not merely about the objects; it is the act of gathering life, space, and personal aesthetics into a singular rhythm—allowing art to exist for the sake of living. A well-conceived space acts as a gallery for life: restrained yet porous, it creates room for time, light, and the fleeting fragments of the everyday. As inhabitants move through, feel, and curate their surroundings, they complete the "collection of home." This project is a collection of space, and more importantly, an expression of a lifestyle centered on "collecting the self."

Villa Reef interior

This villa explores a contemporary interpretation of Mediterranean minimalism through its interiors. The project was conceived as a sanctuary of calm, where natural light, tactile materials, and precise detailing work together to create an atmosphere of understated luxury. The interior design is guided by the principle of serenity through simplicity. Spaces are defined by a warm and natural palette, with oak wood as the protagonist. Vertical wooden slats articulate walls, doors, and built-in furniture, bringing rhythm and texture to the interiors. The continuity of materials across rooms enhances the sense of flow and unity, while neutral plastered surfaces and soft textiles complement the tactile warmth of wood. Nick Tranakas Nick... More

HOUSE OF TEMPLE TREE

The traditional courtyard concept was implemented vertically as per the client’s ideation to stick to his roots. The playful arrangement of the spaces created a central breakout zone which acts as a transition in between the levels. In this design strategy, the transitional spaces such as the staircase and double height space form an axis that provides a visual connectivity. This transition space allows the people to connect visually not just horizontally but also vertically. This common transition on the floors has segregated the active and passive spaces of a residence. All the spaces are lit with the natural light blushing the rare walls with interesting sciography throughout the day via the skylight. This is defined by the play... More
