Esquire being an American men’s magazine, published in the United States, is one which screams sophistication, yet it accomplishes this in a quirky and whimsical tone.
This thought was to be carried out in the design of their own branded nightclub in the heart of new delhi. For the sole purpose of supervision over the nightclub and its administration, Esquire needed a workspace to be developed for them in Defence Colony Market, New Delhi. This work hub was being developed for the “creative owners of a nightclub” and the design had to reflect this very aspect as well.
This 2-bedroom single-story residence is located just outside Seattle in the shadow of Mt. Rainier. Clad in a custom-run Western red cedar rain screen siding system, the 1,600 square foot home quietly blends into the surrounding forest along the banks of the glacier-fed White River. An entry courtyard serves as a smooth transition from the outdoors while providing light to and views from interior living spaces.
This renovation project includes a café on the last floor and the roof top of a 7th floor middle-rise concrete building located in the city center of Vinh city in the middle north of Vietnam.
From these levels one has a great view over the surrounding low-rise houses, towards the river, magnificent forest scape and various aged buildings.
The buildings in this area were damaged by the Vietnam War. Most of them were also renovated with colonial style façades inspired by European designs.
Nowadays, regardless of their height, some of the buildings still imitated this kind of the façade style.
A plot with steep slopes and rocky terrain are the starting point to plan the project.
The building emerges from the terrain forming three volumes that blend together, adapting to the topography of the place.
The hollows of the different pieces are born from the edges of each of the volumes interlacing one another and generating a system of holes that allows solving all the windows of the project.

Designed in the early 1980s, this country house was completed in 2014, two years after the death of its author, Architect Paulo Bastos, in 2012. Built in Sapucaí-Mirim, a city located by Serra da Mantiqueira, a mountain range that separates the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais, the residence was inserted in a natural glade into the woods. The location was carefully chosen by the author, in absolute respect and harmony with the existing vegetation, abundant in Araucárias, large trees indigenous of this mountainous region.
In the vagueness of suburbia, where each place is similar to any other, where architecture is always changing and still always the same, where the limits, the entrances and the margins are usually those prescribed by regulations and allotment plans, and where regulations impose to build in the centre of the available allotment, this house aims to find its roots in the context, starting from its position, in order to break with settlement neutrality.
