In a lively Ho Chi Minh City neighborhood in Vietnam, Chic Vid House reinvents urban living with its slender structure and unconventional layout. Positioned to face west, the residence occupies a narrow plot measuring 3.9 meters in width and 19.6 meters in depth, ingeniously utilizing space through its five-story configuration. Acknowledging the limited availability of open areas in urban environments, the design team aimed to seamlessly incorporate lush greenery, expansive outdoor views, and ample natural light throughout the façade and internal areas. Trieu Chien Trieu Chien Trieu Chien Translucent, foldable teak shutters adorn the elevation, offering the flexibility to open and close for sun protection, enhanced ve... More

Size: 1400 sq.ft The Half Arc House, located in one of the most opulent skyscrapers in the heart of South Bombay, is rewarded with a stunning uninterrupted view of the Arabian sea on one end and the city on the other.

And the bow appe... More

Size: 6000 sq. ft. Located in a picturesque Parsigated community, in the suburbs of Mumbai, the House of two Courtyards is enveloped by green open space, a luxury available to but a selected few in the city. Surrounded primarily by single storey bungalows and open grounds, the house is rewarded with uninterrupted views of perennial verdant landscape.   The 6000 sq ft house, home to a young couple and their children, sits abutting the already existing home inhabited by the couple’s parents with only a common garden separating the 2 structures. Taking advantage of this uniquely advantageous site condition, the house orients itself, rather unconventionally, not to the front facing the communal greens but rather to the existing fa... More

The inspirations for Baan Pomphet’s exterior design come from the quality of the site and its surrounding, namely an ancient monument “Pom Phet”. By “quality of the site”, it is meant the best location that overlooks a scenery where the “Pa Sak River” meets the “Chao Phraya River”. Water hyacinth normally float up and down these rivers and cover the entire surface of the water in summer mornings. What is special about this movement is the whirlpool where the two rivers meet. It is rare to find such scenery elsewhere. When we compose the layout of the buildings and all the decks including the riverfront deck, we are concerned about the view for all guests: how to share the best view as mu... More

The building, located in the 934 m2 plot in Yelki (Güzelbahçe), shows itself with a linear plan between the ancient pine and olive forests surrounding it. The building, which lies on the parcel with a 240 cm elevation difference on the east-west axis, creates different spatial perceptions in the interior with its two and three-storey gallery spaces, and gives clues about the traces of the daily flow in the house. At this point, the structure turns into a scene integrated with nature, which is added to the daily life of its user.   The stage is extremely permeable and bright in common areas. Transparent glass facades in the large span continue along the two-storey gallery in the hall. The consoles of 4.5 meters on the sout... More

When Champalimaud Design was invited to renovate the Naples Residence, a Florida vacation home, the primary goal was to create an elevated and inviting retreat for their client. Built a few years prior by the client themselves, the previous iteration of the home was overwhelmed with a colour palette that worked against itself. Whilst the property contained priceless objet and character filled architectural elements, it lacked an overall harmony. This inspired the studio to create a unified and singular narrative and design a secondary home that felt just as formal and refined as their main residence, yet functional for their coastal lifestyle.   With Mediterranean-inspired architecture, the oceanside Florida vacation home features un...

The site for this bungalow house lies at a busy road junction in western Singapore with a long view axis towards the main road. An L-shaped building layout plan creates a private garden at the rear corner of the site. The architectural concept of the building lies in its linear mass which cradles this inner sanctuary, with views from the living and kitchen spaces on the ground storey centred towards the green landscaping. Studio Periphery The intersection of building volumes also create view openings, and covered outdoor areas on the first storey as extensions of the living spaces. As part of tropical living in the local climate, air, natural light and greenery are allowed to penetrate the house through the use of large openings and s... More

Inspired from the sinuous curved forms and raw texture of the lunar landscape, the Moon House is part of a trilogy of three houses located in the northern tropical seaside state Goa in western India.   The design for the Moon House was inspired to bridge the feel of Tropical Modernist like Bawa with the fluid and dynamic lines like of ZahaHadid, so that the architecture of the house is constantly shifting and shaping between nature and space allowing it to blend seamlessly with its surroundings.   Formed around a louvered courtyard of existing trees, the Moon House is defined by its subtle curved entrance and its black grey textured facade of local black slate stone. The fluid in-situ concrete steps contrast with the warmth of... More
