Penha Apartment, Lisbon, Portugal | Paulo Moreira Architectures
Paulo Moreira Architectures: The project consists of an apartment renovation in the Penha de França neighbourhood in Lisbon. The apartment was in reasonable condition, but the partitioned layout and outdated infrastructure demanded surgical intervention. The work consisted of ‘silent’ adaptations to the existing structure, supplemented by contemporary additions serving different functions.The living areas facing the street were originally divided into a series of three rooms. By removing a wall and replacing it with a new element – a shelf – the relationship between the dining and living rooms became brighter and more transparent. An internal alcove connecting to the living room, which had been deprived of natural light, was opened up to create a quiet workspace. As working from home has become part of domestic life, this room supplements the office on the opposite side of the dining room, allowing for two independent work stations in the apartment.On the side facing the inner cour ...查看全文 -

WA House | 2023 | ujizono architects
Plans for the renovation of a space that used to be a parking lot into offices. Kyoto has a long history of creating "mise-tana" and "machi-tana" to connect with the city, and it seems that the ground floor has always been regarded as a special place. In designing the building, we considered the continuity from the ground to connect the inside and outside of the building with the sidewalk so that the "openness and locality of the ground floor" would be connected.
The space is intended to connect spaces gently and segmentally without dividing people's places. The louver wall, which serves as an office and a place to welcome visitors, is designed to create a space that gently connects the earthen floor area and the office area without dividing them.
The louvers and top and bottom stile are elliptical in shape to create a flat expanse created from an even shape. The louvers and top and bottom stile are elliptical in shape to generate a flat expanse born from an idiosyncratic shape.

Mausoleum for Two | 2023 | Cristian Yazigi
A marriage that celebrates 59 years of being together commissioned their mausoleum. He is 82 years old, and she is 80. The site is located in Santiago's General Cemetery, specifically in Patio No. 61, in a 3.75m x 3.20m plot, with an area of 12 m2.
The project aims to create a sense of protection and endurance over time. Materials such as stone, concrete, and metal sheets are the main repertoire; timeless materials that ensure the structure remains in a state of permanent latency.
Solid blocks of Basalt stone, extracted from local quarries and sculpted by artisans were transported 11 kilometers and laid out on the site. 7 tons of stone rest on retaining walls; buried structures that create two underground niches, providing shelter for the future caskets.

Naturanda | 2023 | Ignacio Frade
Transformation of commercial premises with a reduced surface area. The program required the optimization of a small 50 m2 space for a variety of simultaneous uses. The intervention is based on maximum purification plus the incorporation of bespoke furniture elements that relate to each other. The geometric adaptation of the pieces produces a series of synergies that, around a pillar, allow for different spatial configurations and cease to be an obstacle.
The construction process also had to require structural interventions due to unforeseen problems discovered in previous interventions. Two metallic pillars appeared, concealed in a partition wall, which had no continuity with respect to the upper floors and was poorly executed to cover an existing gap in the premises that connected with the first floor. Both for reasons of functionality and out of consideration for the building itself, it was decided to intervene in the structure with a solution of technical and spatial cleanliness so t ...查看全文 -

VTS Sint-Niklaas Campus | 2023 | STYFHALS Architecten
The school campus ‘VZW Vrije en Techniche Scholen Sint-Niklaas and VTS3 BUSO’ is characterized by a variety of typologies and styles. Besides a far-reaching vision for the redesign of the open space into pleasant green recreational areas, there was also a need for an additional building with classrooms and practice rooms.
The master plan for the school campus provides a green connecting axis that will be designed as green living spaces tailored to the students. To realize this axis, car traffic will be diverted along the edges of the site, parallel to the Singel. Parking will be clustered along this new ring road.
The new volume is planned centrally on the site and parallel to the Singel so the green axis flanks the building. The building is functionally subdivided into a BUSO section (high school for people with disabilities) that links up with the existing school and a TSO section (high school specializing in technical education). The school building has a simple plan with a central ...查看全文 -

Casa Molusco Pantera, Zapopan, Mexico | Kenya Rodriguez Estudio & JDEstudio
Designing interiors means taking everything inside of oneself, understanding it, transforming it, purifying it, and, in turn, creating and conceiving something from it. The objects, atmosphere, materials, even the light—everything must exist within oneself, in one's private inner world before it can be seen by others and materialize in the spaces and environments that complement and inspire us and that we share with loved ones or reserve for ourselves. This is one of the most enduring ideas in Kenya Rodríguez's vision. For her, designing is a process invariably nourished by the act of living—a process that matures and purifies our inner lives and turns them into something tangible and powerful.Casa Molusco Pantera
This house is located at Zapopan, Jalisco in Mexico. With an amazing collaboration of Kenya Rodríguez interior design studio and the architect Javier Dueñas from JDE Estudio. The inspiration for this project was the architecture from the region " arquitectura tapatía" ...查看全文 -

Villa Cyprus | Babayants Architects
Babayants Architects: This is a meditative interior of the villa on the sunny island. The contraries are balanced and merged in the one characteristic of the house: clear and full, simple yet luxurious. An open space is filled with light, air, and freedom. The floor-to-ceiling glazing, sandy-tinted palette, natural materials, and textiles blur the boundary between external and internal. The glass cube and the growing olive tree are the foretype and a pivot of our concept. The play of lights and shadows is like art in this project: it’s fascinating to observe how lines and flecks form the space’s architecture and change its perception.项目名称:Villa Cyprus建筑公司:Babayants Architects项目地点:Cyprus工具软件:Autodesk 3ds Max, Corona Renderer, Adobe Photoshop, ArchiCAD主笔建筑师:Artem Babayants设计团队:364 m²建筑面积:364 m²地块面积:设计年份:2023完成年份:2025项目合作:项目可视化:Babayants Architects业主甲方:Private项目状态:Implementation phase项目类型:Residential › House ...查看全文 -
Sayeh Residential Building | 2023 | Ali Haghighi Architects
This project was referred to us at a time when its structure was based on a neoclassical design. The client’s request was to revise the design of the plans and facade in a modern style. This building has 5 residential units with an area of 330 square meters on each floor, one residential unit on the ground floor near the lobby, and three underground floors. According to the existing structure and the implementation of basement ramps in order to provide maximum parking on the mentioned floors, the common areas of the building include a sports space and a communal space with a movable roof on the roof and adjacent to the roof garden.
The implemented structure had imposed some restrictions on us, such as fixed columns, low floor height, and a 45° bevel on the facade. At the same time as changing the plan and achieving a better spatial order, our main idea was to design the facade; which, in addition to a general perception of simplicity in a context where the variety of colors, materials ...查看全文 -
Edifício A’mar: A joyful, eclectic, and lovable building in Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal | REM’A
REM’A: The property under consideration, a historically significant building in Póvoa de Varzim, not only carried the weight of its classification restrictions but also held a special place in the hearts of local residents, serving as a collective memory of the city. Our research unveiled a fascinating backstory - the previous owner was a well-traveled individual who poured their worldly experiences into the conceptualization of this edifice, resulting in a uniquely eclectic and neo-Renaissance architectural masterpiece. We like to describe this as a form of "reactive" architecture.This architectural endeavor aimed to create a subtle interplay between preservation and innovation, not as a critique of the pre-existing structure but as a celebration of the two distinct eras of the building's construction.The intervention can be defined by its meticulous preservation of the property's façade, paying utmost respect to its formal and aesthetic integrity.

1930s Apartment, Bubeneč, Prague, Czech Republic | Studio COSMO
Studio COSMO: We've designed a comprehensive renovation of a 1930s Prague apartment, encompassing a redesign of the layout, replacement of flooring, and refurbishment of windows and doors. Throughout the process, our choices in materials and colors were guided by the original aesthetic of the space. The inspiration stemmed from features like the white lacquered doors and windows adorned with brass handles, as well as the characteristic oak parquet flooring.Stripping the floor plan to its load-bearing walls allowed us to craft a spacious hallway that serves as a central link within the apartment, rather than merely a passageway. Welcoming visitors is a striking green vestibule with a circular mirror, serving as the entrance to the apartment. Beyond lies a generously designed library, offering ample storage for both books and personal items.We opted to merge the original narrow street-facing rooms into a single expansive living area, achieved through a broad opening. Here, the white kitch ...查看全文 -

AVA House | 2021 | Irina Biletska
Located in a tranquil coastal village in southern Bahia, Brazil, this house harmoniously integrates with the lush Atlantic Forest, embracing the region's humid tropical climate. Its main purpose is to offer a healthy, welcoming, and environmentally friendly environment, prioritizing solutions that minimize dependence on conventional energy resources.
The central strategy to ensure thermal comfort without the need for air conditioning was the maximization of cross ventilation in all spaces of the residence. This was achieved through the intelligent use of elements such as solid brick cobogó, which allows for continuous air circulation, keeping the spaces cool and airy even on the hottest days.
The design of the house is oriented to the east, making the most of natural light and the cool ocean breezes. Internally, some adobe walls contribute to regulating temperature and humidity, creating an even more comfortable environment for the residents. It is worth noting that the adobe bricks we ...查看全文
