This is a renovation project for a 44-year-old apartment. The owner is an enthusiast of weaving wooden basket bags. The owner’s requests were to have an earthen floor space that could be used as a studio, to enjoy the views of the river and cityscape from the windows, and to optimize the living space compactly.
【Highlights】
A spacious south-side earthen floor space that can serve as a studio, gallery or dining area.
The corridor provides openness while retaining some concealment, with the deeper space unfolding as one moves.
Curtains can enclose the built-in bed to become a cave-like resting area.
The peg walls allow flexible mounting of tools, knick-knacks, clocks, paintings etc.

Project Name: Ultra-Modern Luxurious Penthouse in Ahmedabad
A three-level bungalow in Vadodara designed for a traditional Gujarati joint family
This home by K.N. Associates was built with exposed brick and RCC; the structure is contemporary, while being rooted to its site and context
Exterior
Exposed brick as well as RCC come together in this home, with pergolas visible on open terraces. An open courtyard is nestled within the C-shaped footprint of the structure. Semi-open spaces abound, acting as buffers between the living areas and the garden, to be enjoyed in conducive weather. Wooden columns, arches and brackets salvaged from old structures have been used strategically, on an occasional porch or a balcony, to create a jharokha. The extravagant detail in their carvings contrast with the straight lines of the architecture, which is without frills. But in this bold, unexpected gesture, the tones of the old wood and the terracotta of the brick come smoothly together without jarring. In India, such columns can be sourced from Gujarat, Rajasthan or even the south. We were careful to choose the ones from Gujarat, to root the home to its location.
Developed over three years for a very special family, longtime friends of the architects Maíra Rossi and Karen Felix, at the head of the Archi.lab office, the project had the challenge of bringing comfort and a feeling of warmth to the property.
The couple with two children lived in a house for many years, and decided to look for an apartment to get more security and a better location for the family. The property, acquired in the plan, has 275m² and is located in Apucarana – Paraná. Modifications and customizations were made during the construction work on the building, and carried out by the construction company.
This week the doors of the Jonas’ residential building opened in Amsterdam. Jonas’ is a remarkable building, located beside the port of IJburg, containing 273 apartments and a range of public and shared amenities. Forming a sustainable and inviting heart for the neighbourhood, the building enhances social cohesion in the still relatively new urban district. In addition, Jonas’ has achieved the highest attainable sustainability rating: BREEAM Outstanding. This is a unique achievement for a residential building in the Netherlands.
Situated in the Nanyou district in central Nanshan area, the Zhongtai Residential Development consists of a 5-storey podium and above it a 33-storey residential building providing 238 units. On account of the site’s lack of pleasant greenery, the design’s primary objective is to inject vitality and improve the urban interface.
‘The premise is to create an urban oasis, so the project will be a locus of calm and respite in the fast-growing city,’ explains Cary Lau, Aedas Global Design Principal.
The intervention in question has been designed as a building replacement through the demolition of a building for commercial use, consisting of a basement and an above-ground floor within a lot at Via Leone Tolstoi 87, at the corner of the private road Via Tagiura in Milan. The new building with the same GFA, exclusively for residential use, has 6 above-ground floors each accommodating from 2 to 5 housing units, plus a penthouse and upper penthouse divided into 2 side-by-side duplex units, and a basement for garage use.
Nanjing K.Wah G72 is expected to be one of the most expansive mixed-use developments in the Chinese city. UNStudio was commissioned by the developer K.Wah Group to create a human-centric destination where sustainability and culture play a key role in the daily lives of locals and visitors alike.
UNStudio’s proposed design concept envisions a dynamic waterfront community, a low-density and lush green working-living environment, which is expected to add new vibrancy to Nanjing, while contributing as a hub for culture, finance and innovation.

When the clients requested the renovation project of this apartment, located in Asa Norte in Brasília, the main concern was to expand the social areas. Previously, the couple lived in a duplex whose size was almost double the current one, but with the departure of their children and the desire to travel led them to considerably reduce the size of their new residence. However, the option for practicity should not impact the spacious space they were used to, nor their ability to receive family and friends at home.
Located in the Porsche area of Vadodara, this 4bhk apartment of 2,300 sq ft is luxurious as well as minimal which is truly one-of-a-kind.
The main door designed here is adorned with striated textured MCM Cladding for giving a raw and robust look to the Entrance. This door is a reflection of the contemporary style that runs throughout the space. Upon the entrance, you’ll be greeted with a sense of understated elegance and sophistication that is carried throughout the interior. The vestibule here is attached to a temple adding positivity and spiritual vibes to the house. This space has been designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing, with a simple yet striking design that sets the tone for the rest of the interior. The use of a circular mirror on the backdrop highlights the space in a unique way.
