Creation of an interior for a creative couple seems to be quite a complex task on one hand, but an unforgettable experience on the other. We had to zone a 69 sq. meters place correctly to make it a perfect living area for a couple, their young son and two adorable dogs. We’ve implemented some brave ideas like a bedroom separated by a glass divider, a wall made of glass blocks or a window-sill, where you can sit. Also, we’ve decorated the apartment with modern Ukrainian artist’s works (Artem Proot, Sergey Maduykov) and filled it with Scandinavian brands like Hay, Muuto and Normann Cph.
The jagged line that winds in and out throughout this garden-level apartment designed by the architect Yaron Eldad in Tel Aviv emphasizes interesting architecture and space with careful design.
This couple and their 3 children turned to Eldad with a property that did not suit their needs, as they suffered from the poor design of a low-rise ground floor, and a very high ground floor with no windows. The customers asked for a pampering and luxurious master room, a room for a future baby and another room. At the same time, they wanted an optimal space for hosting where they could comfortably accommodate a large amount of people.
Located in the historic district of Mindelo in Cabo Verde’s São Vicente island, the Casa d’Poço, HEIM BALP ARCHITEKTEN’s latest completion, reflects the Berlin-based practice’s sensitivity to local cultures as a means to foster a sense of community through architecture. Through their signature use of the hybrid façade, Heim Balp Architekten refer to both the aesthetics and the materials that characterize Cabo Verde’s distinct cultural identity and natural assets, all-the-while conceiving a versatile space, at once public and private, bringing together the residential, the cultural, and hospitality.
“Built to Last” is an historical restoration project born of the desire to preserve the only remaining untouched building in a dense residential area marked by construction upheaval and architectural fakes. A building that, thanks to its distinct materiality and unequivocal typological features, can tell its rural story with honesty and pride.
The old barn is transformed into a house with the addition of a new mass, clad in wood, projecting from the original stone and supported by solid reinforced-concrete pillars. The new fits onto the old, highlighting its true history by displaying in sharp contrast the architectural and temporal distinctions.
Located in the Municipality of Avola, a few kilometers from Noto, this splendid residence was born according to the landscape that guarantees a breathtaking view of the Sicilian coast that goes from Syracuse to Portopalo.
As requested by the clients, the design intention was to guarantee always and everywhere, both inside and outside, the view of the sea and the landscape in general.
Every family desires a home that gives them as much freedom as possible to meet their needs. “House Viewpoint” is set in a prime hillside location in Stuttgart; its occupants, parents with two children, have treated themselves to a home that not only serves their current needs, but is designed to grow with its occupants and their future needs in the best possible sense. In this way, an existing detached family home has become a residential idyll that combines modern city life with the desire for a private retreat.
For this restoration project of an old cellar into a living space and workshop, it is proposed to articulate the two parts of the building, one inhabited and the other in the making via an extension slipped between the rubble walls and invisible since the street. This is inserted between the existing house and the rehabilitated outbuilding. It opens the living space onto the garden and generates a patio while connecting the buildings to form a single one. The workshop, set up in the double height of the cellar, faces north to benefit from suitable light.
The mixed-use Zugló City Centre in Budapest’s 14th district integrates new civic spaces surrounded by nature together with homes, shops and offices on a site of nearly seven hectares between Bosnyák Square and Rákos Creek. Developed in phases by Bayer Construct Group in Hungary, the project will begin construction early next year and is scheduled for completion in 2029.

Envisioned for a growing family, the house proposes a form of dwelling organized around a continuous dialogue with the landscape in which it is located. The dark exterior grants it a solid stature, while simultaneously evoking the possibility of a home carved in the interior of a rock formation. Certain formal gestures complement this suggestion, like the sectioning of the house’s volumes that hints at the form of a crack, or the windows that appear sporadically, yet with a balanced rhythm, in different parts of the wall. Furthermore, the tour inside proposes a game of changing lights and shadows, with paths that open and close, tighten and widen, and flow into open spaces that secure both fresh air and privacy.
Hoa’s house is a house designed with the philosophy that is called “emotional architecture”. After having some meetings with the owners of the house, considering their preferences and discussing, design ideas and spaces are constructed from their own subconscious images.
