The V House design employs a simple ‘courtyard home’ concept, with the house embracing the irregularshaped site boundaries to leverage the north‐east orientation to the courtyard and connect to the water’s edge on the south (the ‘V’ stemming from the resultant plan form).
The planning creates an entry sequence starting at the street and establishing a transparent spine to the primary living spaces which hug the southern edge of the property. This decision is driven by the desire to create a transparent living pavilion that engages directly with the water’s edge while simultaneously embracing the north‐eastern pool and courtyard area. A predominant building form is, in turn, created on the first floor, where the private bedrooms and a snooker / games room enjoy a landscaped roof‐top terrace on the northern edge accessible from the courtyard below via a sculptural steel spiral stair.
Alibaba Group's new offices located in Azrielli buildings – Tel Aviv, Israel. The brief received by the clients was that they wanted the space to feel welcoming and up to date. They wanted the offices to become home to the workers and for them to feel that both the floor plan and materials all create a warm and sophisticated feeling. In addition, part of the brief was that we need to take into account the systems on site, which we mostly had to keep untouched, preserving what was already there and making the minimum amount of changes.
Agustín and Pilar lived in an apartment on the first floor of a small building that had been built in phases. It started as a single story workshop followed by an upstairs apartment add-on with a small 2.5 x 2.5 m patio. After buying the workshop, their wish was to unify the levels into a single family home, using all possible gross surface area and extending it with a penthouse. Three architectural elements show up that go beyond the basic refurbishment: a new attic, a new stair connecting it with the rest of the building, and a patio that now extends to the ground floor.
Alberto Campo Baeza explained in an article about his Casa Gaspar that the architect must be like a doctor. A good one, that listens attentively to the patient and makes all the necessary analyzes to be able to emit a diagnosis based on his knowledge. But if the patient does not trust the doctor's opinion, their skills are useless. The same thing happens to architects.

“In the gray space, a red gyro rotates at a high speed around the center fulcrum. The gravitational force at the edge continues to be generated and resists the center support. A gaze in the endless rotation causes people to fall into the abyss of dreams, mysterious, dark and overlapping…”, everyone has a dream, which is an illusory yet real experience. Dreams provide more space for people to think about infinity, transcending the boundaries of real space, chasing, exploring and conquering in dreams while looking backward at the self and superego in personality. Perhaps it is also an encouragement for people to contemplate in real life. And that’s why we call it Dreams-Chasing.
It is a wooden house of a flat store built in Satsumasendai City. It is a building of a characteristic space with sloping sloping roof and ceiling, segmented garden / courtyard.
Combine gradually different angles and different gradients to form a continuous roof like an origami and stretch the ceiling with a gradient. The height of the ceiling is also different depending on the space, with some changes in the floor height, we gradually segment the fluid space by the height. The roof and the exterior wall emphasized the solid feeling by making it the same material of the white gauze roofing of the white steel plate and aimed at expression of a new wooden which is not a flat roof.

This house was planned for a married couple living in a quiet residential area in Chiba. Three boxes were randomly stacked, and the resulting margins were included in the indoor area. It is like being outside, while actually being inside. Because these residences will be lived in while left constantly open, the plan is to avoid using air conditioners as much as possible. Japan's Kanto region tends to have strings of extremely hot days. The Kanto region is also one of the world's most densely populated regions, making it difficult for people to live there openly. The “open while closing” concept is an easier way to solve this problem.
