Located in Darby, Montana, the design of this 2,400-square-foot residence is a personal reflection of the homeowners’ sense of style, life experiences, and love of the land. From its unexpected placement on the lot to its name, the home is full of stories.
With the steep topography at the back of the lot and incredible views all around, ordinarily the house would have been situated in the center, impacting a large field where deer and elk come to feed. Instead, the family chose to leave the field natural and untouched. The home was tucked into the far side of the lot with minimal disruption to the site, creating a beautiful foreground as you approach the house. The family’s daughter named the residence after the deer and elk co-habitants.
On the edge of the city centre of Pécs and the slopes of Mecsek, situated in the southwestern part of Hungary, the apartment house with its compact, flat-roofed mass wants to fit into the rather mixed, heterogeneous environment of Gebauer Ernő street. In Gebauer Ernő street, the family houses and the flat-roofed, modernist apartment houses built in the second part of the 20th century, the latter ones with fine details, clinker brick inserts, concrete balconies, natural stone plinths can be observed, which are the evidence of quality built environment. The building density on the street is changing, family houses are slowly being displaced by apartment houses, several newly built blocks have appeared on the street in the recent years. The relatively small scale apartment house with 4 apartments and an indoor parking garage has been designed to represent and retell the quality of the modernist buildings of the last century in its exterior and interior spaces, and facade details.
A 900-sqft two-bedroom apartment unit has been reimagined as a one-bedroom apartment, with a large tranquil open kitchen, living, and dining area.
Designed with a serene intention, the apartment is celebrated with a sensuous palette of black and grey hues with the warmth of wood, an art of minimalism.
Japanese and Nordic aesthetics are infused in the layered details of the wood carpentry, as well as gentle grey stone quartz that is repeatedly used throughout the space.
The OMA-designed Tiffany & Co. temporary store has opened in the heart of the 8th arrondissement in Paris.

Ellen van Loon, OMA Partner: “Tiffany & Co. has a rich history both in making jewelry and in product design. For us it was important to showcase that history. More than an occasion to discover Tiffany’s latest collection, a visit to the store also becomes a journey across time.”

We barely had time to take a picture before February 24 and the war in Ukraine came.
The gelateria had been open in Odessa for a couple of weeks and it was closed and the windows were boarded up. We didn’t know for a long time if it would ever reopen.
“ТАЮ” translates from Ukrainian as “I’m melting,” and the menu only includes ice cream and juices.
We were looking for a simple solution, simple materials, and one clear idea that would create and unite the whole interior.
Casa da beiramar is located in one of Aveiro’s ancient fishermen neighborhoods, beira-mar, a downtown landscape of long and narrow old fishermen houses built on adobe, coated by colorful tiles of the local industry and filled with green ceramic flowerpots.
This part of the city has been witnessing an interesting fusion between the old dwellers and the recent inhabitants. One of the new inhabitants pretended to restore this ancient adobe house, foreseeing an evolutive program: on an initial phase, serve as two apartments and then as a house, with or without an independent office, on a near future.
