The PH Loreto project corresponds to the comprehensive renovation of a single-family residence, the fourth of five functional units that form a typical PH ensemble in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Colegiales. It is a mid-20th-century construction that, like many others, had undergone successive partial interventions aimed at gaining enclosed floor area, to the detriment of spatial quality, natural daylight, and cross-ventilation. Bruto Studio Bruto Studio Caption The intervention stems from a specific request by the owner: to reorganize the residence to respond to contemporary living dynamics, integrating differentiated areas for living and working, and restoring the possibility of enjoying domestic time, light, and air....

The Work_shed began as an e-mail from former clients with the subject "Tiny Project?" With a toddler, a baby on the way, and a compact 1919 bungalow imminently running tight on space, our work from home clients needed a serious upgrade to their existing office setup. Until now they had been remote co-working from a cramped and dark 110sf backyard shed. Taj Howe The request was for two autonomous, acoustically separated workspaces that could uplift the everyday experience and place specific attention on good, even light for frequent video calls. Taj Howe They wanted to build it themselves with the help of a retired family member, it needed to be inexpensive, and could we locate it on an existing shed platform in a corner of the... More

Casa Kuvo was commissioned to us in 2021 for the coastal locality of Matanzas in Chile, known for its weather conditions that favor the practice of water and wind sports. The brief called for a small unit of only 70 m2, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, suited for a younger population and preferably spread across two stories to make the most of the views towards the ocean. Manu Granados Manu Granados Manu Granados Volumetrically and chromatically reduced to a white prism of 6 x 6 x 6 m, the outward expression of the house is rather abstract and barren.

The existing, extreme range is a single-family house from the 1970s burdened with usability and functional shortcomings, resulting from the housing standards of that time, years of accumulation, and modifications. The Investors intended the house to become a comfortable, spacious, modern, and friendly space for an energetic retired couple. The plan, therefore, envisions not so much a correction as a true revolution both inside and outside. Andrzej Niegrzybowski The Investors' experiences and their specific needs served as a starting point for the initial work, but with freedom and trust, they did not limit them; rather, they encouraged unconventional solutions. Technical limitations of the building itself and the unfavorable proportio... More
