A quarter featuring urban villas in a residential area
Na Nikitina isa residential quarter comprising eight urban villas and a tower block in Novosibirsk, Russia. It exemplifies how historic urban fabric can be restored and revitalised.
In the early 20th century a market square and wooden cottages were sited in the area. The city structure degraded in the Soviet times with high-rises and industrial buildings replacing private housing. It resulted in chaotic construction, district amalgamation and shrinking streets. The two-storey houses built just after WWII had fallen into ruin by the early 21 century and their residents were relocated. In 2016 Brusnika development company proceeded to design and construct a new housing estate on the site.
This apartment is located in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, and has 280m². It was developed for a family with three children, two girls and one boy, of similar ages. The father always dreamed of having an apartment with a special view of the city, and that dream came true with this property that has a beautiful view of Praça Pôr do Sol, very famous in the city. At the same time, it presents the skyline of the Vila Madalena district, which makes the apartment very special, both during the day with the green landscape that provides tranquility and at night with the lights of the neighboring district, which is very busy, which gives the urban air.
The owners’ wishes were always well defined, from the beginning the main request was to prioritize the view. They wanted visually integrated rooms, but at the same time delimited by their use. TV, lounge, dining and terrace with gourmet, four suites, a multipurpose office in the intimate circulation area, kitchen and laundry area.
London-based AI Studio completes ORDYNKA, a high-end residential project in Central Moscow.

Żorro was inspired by the basic principle of creating architecture, i.e. improving the functional, aesthetic and spatial standards found in a given place and context for future residents. Situated in the vicinity of the housing estate of prefabricated buildings, it is shaped by applying the principle of modifying the cubature of a typical building from that time and giving it uniqueness and architectural features of a “superhero” in its location that differs in quality and standard from the surroundings, creating a new model for further transformation district and this part of the city.
The author of the interior design of the apartment VENERA is the Ukrainian designer Julia Baydyk, owner of the ALTA IDEA design studio.

At the top of the tower in the center of Tel Aviv, this apartment is poetically peppered in shades of gray that are festively decorated with colorful art all throughout. To start, this unit was two apartments that were then converted by architect Raz Melamed into one house with a division into a private wing and a public wing, meeting the needs of this Israeli art collector who asked for an apartment that would promote his prideful, colorful, and happy art collection.
At the start of this process, the construction of the floorplan was carefully crafted to meet the customer’s requests, with each request having a design and aesthetic solution: the first of which was to create a partition between the hallway and the entrance to the house to create privacy. This request gave rise to an architectural constraint that led Melamed to examine the space and the first step into the house.
