White house

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 compact form has to do with extreme rationalization of the layout in order to maximize the available floor space, while the chromatics enters into a dynamic interplay w... More

Individuality, privacy, and the safe place identify the space of this house. The owner requires no contact to the world outside once across his home’s border.  Entering the high-volume ceiling at the family room is like being embraced in his private temple.  Soopakorn Srisakul Soopakorn Srisakul Soopakorn Srisakul Soopakorn Srisakul Soopakorn Srisakul Soopakorn Srisakul The location is in Bangkok city area where the land price is high, amid the dense residential neighbors and multipurpose land use.

The project talks about setting limits and their permeability. The first border is established between the street and the free space of the house, in Burriana, as in many municipalities the regulations establish a maximum dimension for the opaque fence and the rest of the height with a permeable materiality. Caption We decided, perhaps influenced by the gate that Andreu Alfaro together with Emilio Giménez designed both in the house and in the sculptor's studio, to make this border as an opaque filter for the views and penetrable for light and air, with a constant materiality in full height. Caption This fine line built with aluminum profiles, which are arranged at an angle that prevents the view from the outside, draws a... More

The name of La Piedad alludes to the city of La Piedad, Michoacán and pain like Michelangelo's Pietà. On a plot of 10 meters wide by 35 meters deep, equal to the proportion of the Gilardi house by Luis Barragán, and with a topography with a drop of 3 meters, the house is articulated through patios that emerge from the basement dividing the areas public and private house. César Béjar The piece, stereotomic, raises its walls wrapping itself in an introspective architecture, where the relationship between the interior and the exterior exists, but is not completely evident. The project arises from the basement, due to the owners' interest in having a social area so that their children can enjoy convivi... More

For example, a big space of the existing kitchen was taken up by bathroom. our client made the demands fully consciously with the right understanding of the space and we only tried to look at them in our point of view to fulfill what was demanded.

This issue and overall proportio... More

Masterful in its simplicity, magnificent in its purity of material, elegant in its simplicity of form, and sophisticated in its interior layout, which takes advantage of the steep slope and one-of-a-kind views of the Berounka Valley. These were the goals that we tried to fulfill in our design, supported by the owners’ wishes and their faith in us. Originally a garden of a romantic villa in the historical part of Všenory, the property enchanted us and the owners not just with its beautiful views and dramatic terrain, but also because on it was a reminder of its original function – a romantic gazebo with a winding staircase. Although we all liked its form, our idea of the house was entirely in contrast with it: strict right angles, complement... More

Nestled in a diverse neighbourhood pocket in Albert Park, the original building was a dilapidated double-fronted Victorian house book-ended by a double-storey terrace house on its south side. The house is located on a corner allotment that is pinched in by the main street and a laneway which gives it its irregular, triangular "pizza" shape that tapers towards the rear. As a heritage listed building, it was imperative to rescue the front of house which was in a severe state of disrepair. The homeowner and his family of 4 presented us a brief that started off with the basic functional premise of maintaining a 3-bedroom house at the very minimum, and making use of the neighbour's double-height boundary wall to introduce a second storey vo...

Saudi homes have a very particular aesthetic, which the CAS design team managed to capture perfectly in the exterior and landscape design of this home in Dammam, KSA. Although the majority of the design is extremely simple, all the small details that define it have an instant impact on the onlooker. Each and everything – from the design of the barrel-arch windows to the arabesque railing and main gate – have been specifically chosen to capture a subtle grandness that has become this home’s identity. As for functionality, the small windows with smoked glass keep the harsh Saudi sunlight minimal. The white material and color palate are a great way to reflect a major part of the sun’s glare and keep the interior cool. It also helps give a ver... More
