Villa Horizon

Villa Horizon is architecture that does not seek approval — it imposes it.A monumental, self-assured form stretches along the horizon, drawing a bold, uninterrupted line across the landscape. Designed for those who value spatial freedom and the comfort that comes from disciplined geometry, the house asserts its presence with clarity and intention.

Gusta atelier

In the heart of Poznań’s Jeżyce district, often referred to as the Polish Berlin, at the intersection of Staszica and Szamarzewskiego streets, lies Atelier Gusta. This space is the result of an inspiring collaboration between GUSTA Jewellery, Von Motz, and mode:lina™. Patryk Lewiński / mode:lina™   It all began with a dilapidated grocery store featuring impressive, tall semicircular display windows covered with advertisements for popular salads. Located on the ground floor of a beautiful early 20th-century tenement house, both the premises and the building had been waiting for years to regain their former glory. The task of renovating the space was entrusted to the designers from mode:lina™. This was a p... More

Twilight Drum Garden

The overall spatial system of the project is located on the water, and the shape of the building and the order of the interior and exterior spaces are expressed in a modern and clean manner. The transitional corridor and large pieces of floor to ceiling glass create a flowing space. Su Shengliang Su Shengliang Su Shengliang Su Shengliang Su Shengliang Therefore, the order of the landscape is crucial, as it needs to connect different functional areas and form a threedimensional, multi-dimensional and rich perceptual space between rows. The site is balanced by connecting three axes, creating a sense of spatial order. The longitudinal entrance extending internally is the focus of the design. The framing of the main a... More

Casa Morena

Casa Morena is situated on a plot with verdant pine trees, a place where the view becomes lost in the green of the surrounding area and the immense blue of a bay. The pine trees mark the site and have influenced the planning and reticulated design of the house. Some of the schist, used to build the solid walls, was removed from the site. These walls mark the house’s foundation, which is deconstructed into walls that become lower and lower, becoming separate from the house and merging into the garden. A natural and neutral foundation, in its raw state, that rises from the ground in direct contrast to the clear lightness of the upper floor, white and smooth, composed of horizontal layers that appear to become loose and floating, seeking...

Albion Stone creates stone bricks from “unloved” stone

A stone brick is a sustainable building material made using stone blocks and slabs that do not meet the expectations of today’s sanitized stone ranges. Stone bricks are an environmentally friendly and aesthetically pleasing contemporary building material. These bricks have a carbon intensity reduction of around 75 percent when compared with traditional clay-fired bricks. The carbon footprint of a stone brick is therefore a quarter of that attributed to a clay brick. (Carbon intensity refers to “the emission rate of a given pollutant relative to the intensity of a specific activity or an industrial production process.”) Ivan Jones   Albion Stone and Portland Stone Originally established in 1927, Albion Ston...

House Carezza

Not far from Lake Carezza, in the Eggental valley, surrounded by lush larch forests and rugged peaks, lies House Carezza. The landscape here is a true paradise: The colours of the lake and the light of dusk are reflected on the surrounding peaks, offering breathtaking sunsets. The two new wooden houses translate the alpine architectural tradition of farmhouses into the present by combining materials such as wood and stone with modern technologies and reinterpreting the material separation between the upper and lower parts that is characteristic of this type of building.

House LW27

In high class residential area, a large volume residence had to be constructed on a relatively small site. Next to a giant outdoor pool there was almost no space for a garden. So, the idea was to put the garden onto the roof and work close to the concept of a zero-seal house which means the sealed areas are given back to nature on the rooftop. Sebastian Kolm Sebastian Kolm Sebastian Kolm Sebastian Kolm Sebastian Kolm The borders of the side are hidden by a whole series of newly planted canopying trees, which provide natural Sun protection.  Sebastian Kolm Sebastian Kolm Sebastian Kolm Sebastian Kolm Sebastian Kolm On ground level an open floor plan flows freely from east to west...

Moayeri Hospital Entrance

The former entrance gate of Moayeri Hospital was in a state of disarray and lacked any identity or definition. There were two main challenges in the design of the main entrance, firstly, the angle of the hospital building compared to the main road and secondly, the presence of an emergency ramp next to the hospital entrance. Caption Caption Caption Caption According to the above conditions, the entrance gate was designed in the form of two overlapping frames, so that a large frame includes the entrance and the ramp and acts as one element from a distance, and the smaller frame serves as the entrance for people and ambulances. The north and south sides of the entrance gate were also designed parallel to the site and the... More

Casa Lioz

Casa Lioz is located on sloping land, at the top of a hill, with an outstanding view of an estuary and the outline of the golden cliffs that border the bay of Lagos. To the north, the view extends to the outline of a mountain range and the green fields in between. Through an organic path of ramps and steps, the entrance of the house is reached.  This path is made up of different levels and floors, interspersed with various patios, different shapes and a surprising luminosity which varies throughout the day.  This light is sometimes reflected, absorbed by the marble roughness that partially covers the building, whose weight contrasts with the brightness of the white that covers many volumes that make up this house. © Ferna...
