APT PHD

APARTMENT RENOVATION WITHIN A HERITAGE-PROTECTED MUNICIPAL HOUSING COMPLEX.  Located in Graz, this apartment forms part of a multi-phase municipal housing ensemble built between 1929 and 1931. Designed in the spirit of Neue Sachlichkeit, the building reflects the functional clarity and social ideals of interwar modernism: restrained horizontal façade articulation, balconies opening toward a green inner courtyard, and a clear, rational architectural language. Today, the building is protected as a listed heritage structure. Paul Ott The existing apartment typology is characteristic of historic Altbau dwellings of this period, defined by generous ceiling heights, large living spaces, and comparatively small service rooms.

Dabang

Just like us, plants grow and buildings age. The process of decay in this particular case was natural. Concrete roof tiles fell into the building as purlins eroded and timber frames rotted away. Due to these structural damages, the roof opened up to the sky, and the floor reverted to earth. These three buildings, once used as a dormitory for factory workers, were abandoned as nearby factories closed. In a shrinking town, on a distressed building, humans were gradually replaced by wild plants. This decay gradually transformed the site into an interior garden, providing a sanctuary for plants. Jang Mi The three rectangular-shaped buildings stood parallel to one another. The thickest building on the northern side served as the home for... More

Rungestrasse

Transforming part of a former office building from the early 1930s into an apartment we were confronted with the challenge to maintain the spaciousness that its open plan had to offer and refrain from subdividing it into a series of isolated rooms. Photo by Tobias Wootton Photo by Tobias Wootton Photo by Tobias Wootton Photo by Tobias Wootton The first architectural element we introduced was therefore a shelf featuring five bays and two levels. Each bay houses an individual environment: an entry zone, a cooking area, a work-space, a bathroom, a reading nook, a sleeping loft, … . Meandering around the shelf leads to the bedroom.

The Red Brick Library

The library did not define its purpose by allowing it to be used in various ways, breaking away from the stereotype that it is a space for only reading books. There are various spaces such as bar tables, seminar rooms, and long tables that are good for using alone or for many people. The type of visitor was also not specifically defined. Therefore, residents will visit the library more often. With frequent visits by residents, it becomes a village library where people gather and communicate through books and teas. tqtq Studio tqtq Studio tqtq Studio This library has a different shape from the existing one. The bookcase was built on the wall rather than as furniture, so that the bookcase itself became a wall. The pillar was a... More

Interiorismo MH

Interiorismo MH is a remodeling project for an apartment in Mexico City, which was carried out in two stages. The first stage consisted of designing a walk-in closet, and for the second stage, the entire public area of the apartment was intervened. Julio Escandón The space was designed together with the client to be able to land all their needs, where even the smallest detail is taken care of. The result is the design of an integral space. We design everything from interior design to furniture, as well as manufacturing and installation. Julio Escandón A representative aspect of Interiorismo MH is the lighting design since it was sought indirectly and with hanging elements that came out of the soffits or wood strips... More
