The ML residence is located in the city of Nova lima , state of Minas Gerais. The plot is in a mountanious site with an average slope of 53 per cent.
In order to avoid permanent retaining walls (structures) it was decided that the interference in the topography and earthwork would be minimum as well as the number of building pillars, the result being a ‘volume’ which would appear lighter and detached from the ground.
We have also created two concrete walls on the north and South elevations, which not only define the volume of the house, but also prevent the waste of material, as we used metalical formworks.
The building stands in the borough of Santa Maria, place of pilgrimage near Dobbiaco. At the edge of the village, the site consists of a slope towards South, facing the sun and the Dolomites.
The idea of the project was developed starting from the restrictions imposed by legislation, such as minimized building surface and the requirement of a pitched roof parallel to the slope. The final volume and the concept of the whole project is the result of a subtraction process. Starting with the maximum volume (as derived from given height and surface) certain parts of the volume were substracted to create specific functions; a covered space for parking, balconies protected from the weather, and the terraces in the attic level which introduce light into the house.
This is a small three-story apartment. A small site (58.66 m2) has eight micro dwelling units with a floor area of 10 m2 or so. The room is equipped with a small shower unit, a space-saving toilet, a mini-kitchen, a loft bed and so on, enough to prepare for tomorrow's activities. Residents based on this small space, Tokyo can be shared.
This is about 10 minutes by subway in the center of Tokyo. It is in an area where the ground is weak and small wooden houses are densely packed.
In order to secure the safety of this building and to construct it economically and rationally,
(1) examination of construction technology to be adopted,
(2) operation of laws to be complied with,
The square site is located close to Ibirapuera Park in São Paulo and has the north orientation facing the street. A family of four kids which the couple loves culinary asked for a simple and functional house. Compact but integrated with all external vegetation and with a very strong connection between kitchen and all the other spaces.
The decision to use steel structure resulted in a light structure that places large socials spaces and open areas. This was possible because of the material used on the roof: waterproof OSB panel, that is also very light.

This historic villa from the interwar period is located in Wrocław, in the district which is under conservation protection. The main objective of reconstruction was restoring the modernist character of the building, which has been lost as a result of a previous repair. For this purpose, the windows and their dimensions were changed , to adapt to the original state of the building.
The owners of this house loved the location and views but wanted to make some notable updates and expand their less than perfect 80’s era home. The house which sits on a steep slope has a unique layout as you enter from a bridge at the upper living level and descend to the private sleeping areas and ultimately to the lowest garage floor below. The scope of the project included a modest addition on the 2 uppermost floors including a 3rd bedroom/ home office on the mid-level and kitchen expansion on the upper level. In addition, there is a new exterior steel fabricated stairway leading to an expansive new roof deck. The new mid floor bedroom/ office provides a new more direct connection to their private garden, and the expanded upper level is now large enough to accommodate a huge dinner parties prepared in a home chef’s dream kitchen. The powder room has been relocated partially over the stair and under a large custom skylight which allows natural light to seep deep into the lower levels.
Marmalade Lane, Cambridge’s first cohousing development, is now complete and welcoming K1 Cohousing members. This marks the culmination of eighteen years of work by the group, and comes at a moment when custom-build and community-led housing are being recognised by the government as viable and attractive models for future housing.
The development comprises 42 homes – a mix of two- to five-bedroom terraced houses and one- and two-bedroom apartments. In common with other cohousing communities now established in the UK, Marmalade Lane’s shared spaces and communal facilities, designed to foster community spirit and sustainable living, are integral to the development. These include extensive shared gardens as the focal space of the community, with areas for growing food, play, socialising and quiet contemplation, and a flexible ‘common house’ with a play room, guest bedrooms, laundry facilities, meeting rooms, and a large hall and kitchen for shared meals and parties. A separate workshop and gym are located elsewhere on site. All residents are members of K1 Cohousing, have a stake in the common parts and contribute to the management of the community. Fulfilling the group’s aspiration for mixed, intergenerational living, the multi-national group includes families with young children, retired and young professional couples and single-person households of different ages.
The apartment interiors and the lobbies carry similar design aesthetics: bright hues are contrasted with darker tones. Light colored materials were given preference due to the modest sizes of the apartments, but darker shades of the natural marble textures of Onyx and Cala Catta accentuate and sharpen the spaces. The vertical wooden detailing and the see-through partitions are giving more depth to the interiors of these small apartments.
The main entrance of Batumi Boulevard Residence, on the other hand, is quite massive and it's shared with a hotel, allocated to the first three floors of the building. Space is lofty and darker shades were comfortably embraced here.
A wavy and bold logo was also designed specifically for this project.
This is a project that appears on the seashore, near a preexistence of a protected smokestack from the beginning of the 20th century, that informs us of the industrial activity in that area, at that time the industrial outskirts of Malaga. Pairs of identical buildings were built, as if they were twins, on the seafront, like an extension of Malaga center, and converted it into a new promenade for the city, close to where the economic crisis had left the last two land plots unbuilt near the industrial vestige. Now, after more than a decade, this place is completed with two “stepbrothers” projects; by the same mother (the city plots) but different fathers (the architects of each project). The project aims to make it easier to understand the place linked to the smokestack of the twentieth century. In fact, it proposes a materiality that dialogues with it, but using bricks with a different technique, assuming a new contemporaneity and forming an abstract and massive facade in glassfibre reinforced concrete (GRC).

The interior design project by StudioColnaghi, APTO JJ is a 165.00 m² apartment project in the city of Novo Hamburgo, RS – Brazil.
The project contemplates an apartment with with double ceiling in the living area with large glazed area that soon was point of departure for appreciation of the visual and sensation of greater amplitude in the space.
We developed several layout studies until we got the “island” configuration of the dinning / bar lounge giving greater flexibility of circulation and appreciation of the large glass / cellar in the background. Customers like the idea of a good space to invite friends and family but also that it is intimate for moments only in the family, so the big sofa has this idea. The social being also takes into account for this configuration that much of the time will be a place of familiar coexistence and comfort. The sofa with chaise besides valuing the space is also the perfect mobile to just enjoy the moment.
