110 sqm apartment renovation, off-plan purchase at Cayowaa Street, Sumare’s neighborhood, Sao Paulo. The main alteration to the plan consisted of integrating the living space, kitchen, and terrace. The tile floor finish, which refers to the imagery of outdoor yards / patios, comes into the apartment and defines the juncture of these spaces. The hanging cabinet / partition defines the apartment’s circulation with a mid-opacity frosted glass, to blur out the activities from the adjacent space. At the dining room side, it serves as a sideboard for trays, dishes, and cupboards, while concurrently supporting the TV and other hardware at the living side. A suspended panel at the bedroom was proposed to part the closet space while also providing a sideboard for the bed.
Manchester-based architects and interior designers 74 have created the new 355 sq m ground-floor social and study amenity space within The Toybox, a new-build, 15-storey student accommodation block by architects Corstorphine + Wright, located on Bishopsgate Street in Birmingham. The client and project developer is Moorfield Group, for whom 74 previously completed the multi-award-winning Hox Haus, where a former Victorian gym was expanded and repurposed as a social and study clubhouse for students of Royal Holloway College.
The Toybox is a new glazed, green brick and zinc-clad block in the Westside area of Birmingham, just south-west of the city centre, The interior is comprised of 290 new student apartments, with 74 commissioned to create the dynamic series of communal spaces that make up the ground floor area, including a reception, lounge, study area, gaming area, kitchenette, staff welfare space, toilets and fitness suite.
Sited along the northern side of a big plot, in an industrial area located on the outskirts of the city, this building takes the program as an opportunity to develop an urban liked volumetry.
The client was seeking two industrial buildings. The program of both was very similar: a series of specific open spaces, an office space and a double-height storage area.

After four years, the full renovation of the Castellana 81 office tower, Sáenz de Oíza’s masterpiece, has been completed and has been declared a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC).

From the future archaeological perspective for human civilization, stories about the reconstruction and rebirth of industrial remains are narrated.
Ocean is of special significance for human civilization. In most historic narratives, ocean is not only the starting point of new worlds, but the origin of all lives; it carries the initiative for expanding boundaries and exploring the unknown, and sows into human DNAs the seed for tracing to source.
The store is located in the newly completed K11 MUSEA. The huge business complex containing K11 MUSEA sits in Tsim Sha Tsui and is adjacent to the Victoria Habour, with Central standing on the other bank.

Lune de Sang is a unique multi-generational venture that will see a former dairying property transformed into a sustainably-harvested forest, bringing back a pocket of subtropical rainforest to the Byron Bay hinterland.
The vision is exceptional in that rather than planting a fast growing crop, various hardwoods of the region have been chosen to establish a rainforest landscape that will take generations to mature. The hardwoods will be tended to maturity and then selectively harvested, the long lifespan of the trees meaning a wait of between 50 and 300 years before the various species fully mature.
Rooted in lost history, the new Sydney Plaza is about the meaning of place, heritage and identity. An attempt to uncover, layer and celebrate the Eora origins of this part of coastal Sydney, the project is about the reconciliation of cultures and defining identity in an ever changing world. This reconciliation of difference lies at the heart of the proposal and aims to articulate and establish dialogue around the complex relationship colonizers have to their indigenous communities.
Inspired by simple unitary forms and place making in Aboriginal culture, we imagine the new community building and plaza as a ‘found place’ based around the notion of the shelter, a symbolic respite away from the busy streetscape that is discovered and dissolves through light.
