3 Houses in Campeche
The 3 Houses in Campeche were designed to comfortably fit the narrow 4-meter-wide plots. The idea was to create homes that would allow future residents to freely appropriate the spaces, with flexible layouts that enable generous use of the rooms despite the limited width of the plots. Another key aspect of the design was ensuring sufficient lighting and ventilation for all houses. To achieve this, internal courtyards and cutouts with large glass planes were used to maximize contact with the exterior, ensuring good environmental comfort for the homes.

I.s.m.architecten breaks with adjacent Flemish village row houses by opting for a pentagonal shape
In a Belgian village, close to Antwerp, i.s.m.architecten intentionally broke with the adjacent row houses by opting for a pentagonal shape with its sharp edge to the street. This reduced the point of contact with the street to a bare minimum.

The angular shape gives the side wedges of the volume a distinct character. A concrete wall encloses an introverted patio next to the front entrance. One side opens to the patio and the other opens towards the surrounding landscape.

Maranello Houses
In Boqueirão, a neighborhood to the southwest of Curitiba with a predominantly residential network, there is a gated community composed of 14 houses, 4 of them facing the street, with direct access, and the others distributed along a central boulevard.
The central spacing, between the two lines of houses, was decisive for the qualification of insolation, privacy, lighting and natural ventilation of the houses. Based on this premise, the volumes of the houses were implanted in a continuous way, without lateral deviation in the sublot.
The houses have sizes between 111 and 115 m2. Facing the circulation of the group, we have garages, patios and service areas. Inside the sublot, the social areas - living, dining and kitchen - are inte... More

A Bold Intervention
This classic Dutch row house was in poor condition, and required a thorough reinforcement of the foundation and load-bearing structure to make it livable. In spite of its structural issues, the brick building had great potential, as well as strong aesthetic and functional qualities with glass-in-lead detailing, and classic 'en-suite' room separations.A combination of intrepid clients, and an ambitious design vision has resulted in a dramatic redesign for an otherwise commonplace apartment renovation. Voids and split levels now accentuate its full height. The rear façade has been removed and clad with glass to a full height of 11 meters. Floor levels have been detached from the façade, creating a void that spans three levels an... More

Base Street Trio
Base Street Trio is a three-apartment row house situated in Tammisalo neighborhood of eastern Helsinki, Finland. Tammisalo is an old residential area with mostly single family homes and row houses built after 1950’s, but the history goes beyond that as the area was a part of 19th century mansion grounds. Being an island Tammisalo is surrounded by water and small forests. Nature is present everywhere as characteristic old and tall pine trees grow on many yards of many homes.
As the city grows and needs more space for it’s recidents, properties in the loosely built residential areas are being coped with denser land to building ratio which allowed building three apartments to a small lot instead of two. On the steep site, approach was for ho... More
