Located in the magnificent Quebec region of Estrie on the shores of the prestigious Lake Memphremagog, the residence is in the form of a slender volume. Clinging to the steep shores of the lake, it projects onto a peaceful bay.
A connector element
This 6,700 square foot residence takes up, through its layout, part of the footprint of the existing residence of yesteryear. The main axis of the residence, both interior and exterior, in addition to acting as a vertical circulation, also connects the garage to the residence by a roof structure serving as a carport. From the front door, then successively through the lobby, the stairwell and the swimming pool, our gaze is directed outside, towards the lake.
Haus e springs up towards the lake like a telescope overlooking the valley.
The base is embedded in the ground, integrates itself and determines the direction of the cantilever. supported by a v-shaped column with a long overhang towards the lake and the valley. an infinity pool leaps towards the lake joining the water of the lake and the water of the pool, merging boundaries between built environment and natural one the design is about the strong relationship between outside and inside. an absorption of nature and view relationships. in order to generate an equilibrium with the site, new relationships to the surrounding rocky landscape are created through the material concrete. the different surfaces, the bush-hammered and the smooth concrete, alternate in a kind of material play.

The residential project “City Park Lehen” is located on one of the main roads into Salzburg.
The unique characteristic of the location is the interaction of a diverse range of structures. Lending itself to vast number visitors, passers-by, and residents, the adjacent Ignaz-Harrer-Straße is a highly frequented urban core zone. On the other side of the property is a quiet park, used as a recreation area for the entire neighborhood. In addition, the site marks the boundary between large-scale block developments and loose, heterogeneous settlement structures.

The building consists of two different volumetries adjoining each other. The first, in a parallelepiped form, is developed along two floors and provides the conventional program of a house.
On the ground floor are the social spaces, which open to the south, over the swimming pool and to the west over the garden.
Ocean views and an authentic jungle experience merge to create a sanctuary of contemporary design, crafted with natural local materials.
Our international clients came to Costa Rica with the intent of creating an example of a more sustainable way of life, with a focus on well-being through connections to nature.
Villa DLM is part of a small site in a residential neighbourhood. It is a rational and introverted house, whose apparent privacy dissolves in the internal courtyard towards the garden.
The project idea is the composition of three simple volumes, which modulates the spaces of domestic life and establishes direct connections between the parts. Two parallelepipeds are arranged perpendicular to each other to form an L open towards the garden, the third stands on top of the previous ones maintaining its formal autonomy.
We designed our own residence and office on a narrow lot in the heart of the city where old and new streets are mixed together. Since it is in front of a train station and has the potential to be used for a variety of purposes, we thought we should create a place whereabouts rather than a house. It is a comfortable place to live that will continue to exist even after it leaves our hands and changes its use and owner.
As a method of creating a place to live, we did not construct the space itself, but tried to consciously embody each of the casual behaviors of people and make the space stand up. The form used in this project was the bay window.
Turning a crumbling structure into a high-performing and sustainable residential building that saves 72,000kWh of electricity a year.
More than half a century after a construction boom replaced the ornate Belle Epoque homes along Kokke’s coastline, the area is now filled with outdated, functionalist structures nearing the end of their lifespans. The West Side Residence was one such example. This post-war structure of little architectural value was crumbling and either needed to be repaired or demolished and replaced. The problem was deciding which. Some owners wanted to keep their apartments, while others wanted new, up-to-date homes.
The expressive nature of this three-story house is designed in a continuous movement that suggests, between its different rooms, a walkway from where to explore the landscape that expands in front of it.
