A narrow street, where the sleepy character of old Jinonice is still preserved, broadens out to create a tiny square with a well. It was dominated by an abandoned house, formed by gradual addition of masses, some of which overtopped the original one. The complex of these small buildings, placed in the sloping garden, was in a very dilapidated uninhabitable state.
Architects Orange Multi-family / Parking Structure Marvel: The George, features a Five-Story Wrap Project Supporting a Swanky Amenity Deck with Pool and Beer Garden.
The George in Anaheim, CA, minutes from Disneyland and Angel Stadium, is an award winning luxury mulit-family unit adjoined by a modern five-story wrap parking structure.
Located in downtown Anaheim, the luxury development exudes a whimsical, freewheeling sense of recreation. Midcentury chic permeates the property, evoking a hip and vibrant indoor-outdoor California lifestyle. The centerpiece is a jaw dropping 32,000 SF rooftop deck which spans the entire roof surface of the parking structure. The 578 stall, 9 level efficient parking structure provides added value as the support structure and platform for a lush rooftop amenity deck, pool, fitness center, and beer garden overlooking Angeles Stadium and a spectacular view of the daily Disneyland fireworks. A total of 375,000 cubic feet of concrete was used for elevated slabs, footings and concrete walls.
The Queen's house is a very unique project for our studio.
The house was designed for a young family of 4.
The main focus of the design was to blend the interior with the exterior to the fullest but at the same time make sure that the house is cool in summer time and warm during the winter,(very hot summers and chill winters) that means that every window opening was carefully examined.
The attic in the multi-family house in the Old Grunwald district was adapted into the modern and functional flat and work studio. The initial attic space was characterized by various heights of the rooms (some of them very low) and with preserved beautiful wooden ceiling and floor. The places with low ceiling were converted into a bedroom area, these with high came into existence as a kitchen, a dining room and a workspace. All rooms are multifunctional and every room enables view through the whole attic. The way the rooms were arranged, that is the lack of a corridor and an openly situated kitchen allows to compose the functionality of the studio accordingly to the daily needs of its user. Characteristic bricks on the floor define the sleeping area, the part devoted to daily activities is determined by the wood. Organizing the rooms in a much better and useful way led to greater functionality of the whole attic’s space.

The “Sixty-one”, a home with the number Freedomky No.061, was assembled (to the surprise of neighbours) during one autumn Friday from 7 am to 3 pm, followed by the construction of the carport and terrace. It uses its compositional dimensions and sizes from the author’s previous modules and places them above each other, smaller S (4 x 7m) on top of larger M (4 x 11,5m). Modules were brought to the site fully furnished and equipped, including furniture. The Tachov “Sixty-one” stretches toward the sky and its proportions evoke a similarity with a stylized steamboat, also with the upper terrace – the deck at the fore. From becoming a real houseboat, it is only short of water it could anchor in. It is the very first 2-story Freedomek in the Czech Republic and has its own specially signed label from the author.
The Nest is a family home tucked away on a large bush block offering an acreage lifestyle within inner‐city Brisbane. Sitting on 4000m2 of land, the house was designed to heavily leverage the garden and north‐east aspect. Designed as an essentially single story, transparent pavilion engaging with the north‐east garden, the house uses the tennis court and lower level garaging to adjust the site to suite this agenda. A house of robust, tactile materials, this home was the second we had done for these clients, affording the project a rare opportunity to push the envelope.
A lot situated inside the satellite area, surrounded by those “traditional” small houses. Those, whose investors wished something classical to fit well into the picture. A result? Typical village, anyway. The true is such the village is reminded by several fragments of original housing and full-grown trees. The new thing is something as a computer game, where a player puts into a grid an American dream of individual living. There are flat country meadows around the village where horse mane waves now and then. This idyll for the people of Pardubice, named Spojil, is closed to separate micro-world by surrounding forests, which cover up well a presence of industrial town.
The village of Litvínovice is located about 5 km south of the city České Budějovice in southern Bohemia. Typical urban sprawl substitutes the original street structure – the developed areas are established on the surrounding undeveloped meadows and fields. Thus, the context of the place is a typical imprint of the current mass approach to solving the housing needs through family houses in newly emerging suburban districts.
The Masonry, a multi-family house in Korea, seeks a playful game of “scale” in two aspects, the building itself and bricks in its façade. The site sits at the corner, facing its long-north and short-east sides to the roads. Due to the town planning, the entrance and the long side of house need to be facing South. It makes a contradictory condition of pitched roof direction and the main face of the house. Referring Robert Venturi’s House the gable is placed along with a long side of the site towards South. Intentionally treating the gable in opposite position against typical pitched roof shape for structural and economic efficiency the Masonry tricks its scale until visitors enter the house. We were asked to design a house for two families but the house would avoid the appearance of two town houses. Diagonally stacked two kinds of bricks (100mm x 200mm) and cement blocks (200mm x 400mm) creates a singular masonry façade but also nuanced two units of program in a single mass.
This is an single-family house and swimming pool, which was designed by the architect Jaime Salvá, the technical architect Iñaki Fernández, and Blanci Blanc as the builder.
It is located in the Son Puig urbanization, Palma, on a plot of 458m2 with a steep slope, which means that the basement is at the level of the sidewalk leading to the house.
One of the objectives of the architect Jaime Salvá was to create a clean and contemporary geometry, by using breaks to achieve a dimensional pattern with different perspectives depending on which side of the house you look at, as well as a changing pattern of shadows throughout the day.
