HVM Maya

Developed for HVM Incorporadora, Maya is an Architectural Manifesto that dares to redefine what it means to live well in the Brazilian Midwest. The project, which aims to dissolve the boundary between luxury and nature, transforms exposed concrete into a living celebration of the power of the Pantanal wetlands. Pedro Mascaro Pedro Mascaro HVM Maya was born from an essential premise: living in a building without renouncing the sensory experience of living in a house integrated with nature. The project is simultaneously a response to the territory and a proposition for a new way of inhabiting. From the beginning, the strategy was clear: to bring the neighbor park into the architecture, dissolving the boundaries between landscape, m... More

Hensius

In Oosterhout, we designed an apartment block with 52 apartments on a semi-submerged underground parking garage. This block is part of four large residential buildings along the Wilhelmina Canal in the Slotjes Midden reconstruction district. The various buildings along the canal each have their own plastic expression, but they share a common thread like a family resemblance. The volume structure tapers off towards the existing buildings, consisting of ground-level homes and apartment buildings.    Phillip Driessen Phillip Driessen Phillip Driessen To keep the structural design and building physics of the volume as simple as possible, we pushed the balconies outward. A staccato rhythm of brick pilasters, projecting... More

Miller houses and apartment building

For years, the residential area of ‘Wyckerpoort’ was wedged between the highway and the railway. With the tunneling of the highway and the new development of a wide, leafy urban boulevard upon the tunnel called 'De Groene Loper', the neighborhood was given a new position and had to be connected to the new buildings at various points. The ground-level houses, together with the apartment complex (also from our office) , form the edge of 'the Groene Loper' on the north side. Arjen Schmitz The apartment building is a hinge point between many different spatial statutes and links up with the 1950s reconstruction district of Wyckerveld, the Mosa factory sites, the very busy ring road around Maastricht and the ‘Amsterdam Sch...

Downtown Nova República

Designing in the historic heart of São Paulo requires more than simply meeting functional demands; it demands a commitment to both time and place.

Paulo Brenta Paulo Brenta With an architectural concept carefully crafted for Setin Incorporadora, the proposal strikes a balance between presence and discretion. The building’s massing re... More

Funkhaus Wien

BWM, commissioned by Rhomberg Bau, is redesigning the former radio building, which is a listed landmark. Sites A and B will be opened to the public, transforming into a vibrant, creative hub under the concept of a “stacked Grätzl” or neighbourhood, while site E will house residential spaces.

Hill Residence

This project is the result of a desire not merely to fill an empty plot with new development, but to create an architectural composition that naturally weaves into the context—both physical and emotional. At the heart of the concept lies a synthesis of urban dynamics and the natural environment, where architecture does not compete with, but rather enhances, the natural lines, topography, and atmosphere of the place. The building does not impose itself but “grows” out of the landscape, establishing a new rhythm within the space. It complements existing visual and functional axes of the neighborhood, not interrupting but smoothly continuing the urban fabric. The terraced form supports this effect—allowing the volume t...

Riel New Fort

The New Fort residential complex project is part of a strategy to revitalize a former industrial area in Lviv. The project site is located in one of the former production sites of the Soviet Almazinstrument plant. The existing industrial buildings are squeezed into the middle of a neighborhood that was underdeveloped earlier. At that time, a street was laid across the site, and production halls were built instead in the Soviet period. The story of the street gave inspiration for the creation of two new neighborhoods that would form comfortable spaces for different age groups of the neighborhood’s residents. The street itself will be recreated as a pedestrian and bicycle boulevard. The blocks are closed from the outside, and inside th... More
