Designed in 2015, The Residences at Marina Gate project is a prestigious residential development that comprises three high-rise towers, two residential and one hotel serviced apartments managed by Jumeirah Group International, all offering stunning views of the Marina and the Arabian Gulf.
It is located at the world’s largest artificial marina – Dubai Marina, which is a vibrant tourist hub and a dynamic neighbourhood with many unique residential towers. The Marina is a bustling waterfront community with a mix of residential, commercial, and entertainment options.
Facing the Arabian Gulf and the Marina, The Residences at Marina Gate enjoys one of the best views within Dubai Marina. The project offers a variety of living options to its residents, including studios, 1-5 bedroom apartments, serviced apartments, penthouses and over 30 villas. The three towers range from 52 to 64 storeys that stand above a cluster of an 8-level podium with retail at lower levels.
The inspiration for the design comes from the sleek and modern aesthetic of Dubai, as well as the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. The architects aimed to create a sense of openness and connection with the environment, while also ensuring a high level of privacy and exclusivity for the residents.
Render Reality Blending into the urban context The silhouette blends in with the urban context, while the materials and lighting create a warm and inviting atmosphere that complements the surrounding landscape. The complex was designed to meet international
standards, using advanced glass, steel, and concrete forms, to give a modern and sophisticated look that reflects the beauty of Dubai while incorporating the natural environment. Villas are stacked in a staggered manner to reinforce its linkage with the main tower, formulating one composition. While the height of the podium was utilised to achieve the required parking count.
Standing tall in the heart of a tourist destination Podium Section Plan The 3 towers are connected through passages within an 8-level terraced podium. This podium was designed to serve as a convenient walkway while incorporating commercial elements for residents.

Located in Vidrà, in the beautiful middle of the Bisaura, the Catalan Pre-Pyrenees, halfway between the regions of Osona, Ripollès and Garrotxa, two semi-detached houses are being planned.
The property, located on the Font street, has a challenging topography with more than 4 metres of north-south slope. The road, on the south façade, has a gradient of more than 20% and surrounds the house until it ends in an open space that is significantly flatter to the north, a very pleasant place to be in summer. On the other hand, the site enjoys a very good orientation, with all-day sunshine and privileged views over the landscape, the Bisaura mountains, the village and, above all, the church and its bell tower.
Malaysia is a South-east Asian country which consists of multi-cultural society (Malay, Chinese & others). The tropical climate here is warm and humid all year long, the heat island phenomenon is very common in urban and suburban areas. Individual houses in urban area are mostly fully air-conditioned and sealed from the external environment.
A polygonal and very irregular lot, added to the restrictions of the housing development and a slope without a flat section, gave us the opportunity to catalyze the commercial disadvantages of the land and design a unique house. A home for a family with small children for which we designed the setting of the many parallel experiences of the happy growth of its inhabitants.
With knowing more about the family in mind we interviewed all the members and received a large amount of ideas, from the most simple and innocent, to the most complex and utopic.

Since the production of industrialized housing in wood is the activity that adds the greatest value to the local forestry-industry, the business sector asked us to reflect on how the offer for our region could be updated.
Homes to be marketed and located in suburban and rural areas. So, for us, the reflection went through how, using the resources available in the industry, we could approach a more appropriate one for our territory, and that of response to contemporary domestic uses. In this way, the problem does not go through an essay on the image, but on how the form is conceived. Understanding the latter as the way in which space is materialized, seeking to synthesize the internal and external complexities of the project, thus enabling contemporary living from a sense of place.

Located in a quiet residential neighborhood not far from downtown, this striking house on a corner lot is comprised of two stacked cubes made of contrasting materials: exposed concrete on the bottom and composite lumber on top. The wood-frame second-floor volume juts out 2.7 m over the parking area adjacent to the entrance in a dynamic columnless design. To ensure privacy in the first-floor master bedroom and children’s bedroom, the building is enclosed by a high concrete wall imprinted with the Japanese cedar formwork used to make it, which blocks views of the interior from the street.

The house is built in Klaipėda by the Baltic Sea. The architectural idea of the house was inspired by the area itself, which is a former dune, currently overgrown with a forest, which base are pines. Therefore, the aim was to create a facade that is somewhat close to pine bark, so that the walls and roof of the building like scales resemble the bark of a pine.
More than 400 square meters of stone walls form the silhouette of the house, located in the region of l’Horta Nord, València.
The ground floor is a shared space, which opens to the garden and the swimming pool.
Casa R is a project by Ascoz Arquitectura, located in the region of l’Horta Nord, València, in which two parallel stone walls of large dimensions support and frame the access to an elegant and Mediterranean house. Borning from these walls, the rest of the elements of the house flow southbound.
Kunming, Yunnan Province, is a livable city with comfortable climatic and natural ecology, which attracts many sojourners to settle down. The newly completed mid-hill residence by KiKi ARCHi is in Kunming’s famous golf resort. The owner is a golf enthusiast, and he hopes that this house can provide rest space and take care of the needs of each family member so that they can enjoy the scenery and get close to nature to the greatest extent. After a year of design and renovation, the old single-storey building is now a stylish double-storey holiday house, which stands halfway up the hill, surrounded by green forests and cherry trees.
The house is an exhibition of balancing sophistication and comfort. Its structure of concrete strips generates dynamism between light and shadow.
Residence 321, which Ascoz Architecture signs in La Ribera Alta (València), evokes the same sensations as a stay in a luxury hotel. With more than 625 square meters (6,500 square feet) spread over three levels, this residence is an exercise in balancing sophistication and comfort.
