Located in a residential area on the outskirts of Oslo, the Solem Forest House stands just east of Maridalsvannet, the city’s primary water reservoir. The property is situated on a gently sloping ridge, defined by mature pines and dense forest, within a regulated watershed where construction must meet stringent conditions to protect the water supply.

Nestled within the serene expanse of northern Greater Buenos Aires, an 800m² plot in a private residential enclave presents a defining singularity: its adjacency to only one neighbour along one of its longer flanks. This exceptional condition sculpts a dwelling with two principal facades, deliberately exposed with clarity to both the street and a vast adjacent green space, establishing an immediate dialogue with its surroundings. BRUTO STUDIO BRUTO STUDIO The project's essence is articulated through a programmatic fragmentation into three pure volumes, forms of simple and precise operations. Two lateral volumes, one dedicated to the children's realm and the other to the parents', frame a third central volume, conceived as th... More

A living white sculpture in a suburbia context. The urban allotment of Quinta do Desembargador, located in the municipality of Almada, is nestled within a suburban landscape shaped by the evolving social and urban dynamics surrounding Lisbon/Portugal. This has created a built environment that significantly influences the architecture and overall territory. Characterized by small-sized lots and compact constructions that lack a strong connection with the outdoor spaces, the allotment presents certain limitations. However, it is precisely within these constraints that the most innovative solutions can emerge. Embracing this challenge, we are committed to finding creative and effective ways to maximize the potential of this unique setting.... More

The building mass rests on a slab platform that interrupts the natural vegetation. by Nuno Almendra by Nuno Almendra by Nuno Almendra by Nuno Almendra by Nuno Almendra by Nuno Almendra by Nuno Almendra The architectural object resulted in a contemporary interpretation of a gabled roof building, seeking a strong relationship between the interior and exterior areas, whether they are the garden, balconies, porches, or covered or open terraces. The result was an architectural object that respected its surroundings and had a simple and straightforward language with contemporary details and aesthetics. by... More

House by the Lake "Yes, that's what you'd like: a villa in the green with a large terrace, the Baltic Sea in front, Friedrichstrasse behind: with a beautiful view, rural chic, and from the bathroom, you can see the Zugspitze – but in the evening, you're not far from the cinema..." wrote Kurt Tucholsky in Berlin in 1927 in his humorous poem "Ideal and Reality," concluding with "Every happiness has a catch. We want so much: to have. To be. And to matter. That someone has it all: that is rare." Kurt Hörbst Kurt Hörbst Of course, we're not by the sea, but almost. The lake view from the first floor is breathtaking. In the foreground, sailboats sway in the harbor, in the background, the kitschy blue Attersee and the mo... More

Located in Mangmi Village in Yangpyeong, South Korea, the project is situated in the valley where three mountains meet. The site sitting in the deep mountains retains a calm, peaceful vibrance. After retirement, the client couple have been living there growing fruit trees. They asked for a community facility and a glasshouse along with a campsite. The most important feature in the site is the forest. Trees rooted down there for a long time have memories of the place more than anything.  Jinbo Choi Birch trees are widely distributed around the world. Because they grow well in colder parts of the world, they are commonly found in the Northern region of South Korea. They appear to be silver and thin in shape and grow up to 20 meters... More
