Layout – It is a new building with a fixed layout. This interior is dominated by an almost 360-degree panoramic sight. After entering the flat, you can expect an open-space concept of a kitchen, a dining room and a living room. In addition to that, the flat has two bathrooms, a walk-in wardrobe and a bed room with a view of Prague Castle.
Concept / Colours / Materials –The purpose of the flat is not primarily for living and, therefore, the selection of materials was considerably brave and bold. The dominating material is grey concrete plaster coating which can be seen on the floor, walls and even on the furniture. Cabinetmakers made the table and bar boards of 400-year-old wood, obtained from an old barn in Austria. The imported piece of wood underwent a treatment to look old specifically for this project and was assembled later on site. Raw steel was used for a steel island and furniture. For a soft feeling velvet was used here; we can see it on the sofa and bed upholstery. Dark colours simultaneously multiply the impression of the night city.

Villa Didaar is located in an area where the Caspian Sea and the green mountains of Northern Alborz meet. As requested by the client, the main objectives of the architect were creating a fluid and transparent connection between the sea view and the green landscape around, as well as interconnecting the interiors while having separate and defined spaces for a large family to rest and feel cozy, plus an immediate connection with the environment outside.
Therefore, the large Villa has been designed in three separate sequences, which slide on each other in a free and independent way, while keeping the unity of the entire building as a whole: “Ground floor” (including the swimming pool, saunas, sport area), “The middle floors” (including family spaces, family and guest bedrooms and living rooms in two floors), and the “upper floor” (consisting of the guests’ separate suites and a common sitting area) which gives a wide view over the surrounding landscape.
Seven-theater cinema with cultural space, community center with concert space and dance studios, 342 residential units, a shared garden,bespoke artwork, and retail space Three residential buildings offering exceptional views of the great Parisian landscape anchor three corners of a mixed-use block. At the heart of the project is a cultural center for the new ZAC Clichy-Batignolles district in Paris’ 17th arrondissement: a seven-theatre cinema and a community center. These public volumes, anchored to the ground, give way to the public realm and are crowned with hanging gardens. Three residential blocks emerge from this base, climbing up to 50 meters. This simple distribution of masses effectively resolves the inscription of a complex program on a high-density site. Thickened facades permit a band of generous loggias around the residential blocks. Architectural precast concrete on the buildings’ facades situate the project within the material tradition of Parisian stone and concrete and gives each of the three buildings a singular expression from the ground to the sky: the twisted form with its torqued effect (sand colored), the chiseled bar with continuous balconies (in white) and the pleated tower with its progressive fold (in white).
An integral part of the residential construction „Riedgrabenweg“, built by the Frohem housing cooperative; this new monolithic concrete building containing a community hall and two apartments has been completed as the last stage of the project.

The building is both humble and bold, its form a reference to the four remaining single family homes from the 1930s lining the Tramstrasse in Schwamendingen. Under the sweeping copper roof are two further apartments with their own terraces in the oversized dormers.
