The residential building was built in Frano Supilo Street in Dubrovnik; it is located in the middle of the Ploče area of Dubrovnik, between the Old Town and Sveti Jakov neighbourhood, above the attractive Seherezade villa, famous for its beautiful gardens.
This part of Ploče is quite specific as it offers more multi-storey building possibilities than the rest of the neighbourhood. There is also a tall and continuous street stone wall.
Park House sits harmoniously within the natural landscape of Harbourview Park and architectural landscape of Woollahra Heritage Conservation Area. Its materials, colours and form blend with the bushland and complement the historical houses and sandstone walls.
The house sits atop a 5-metre-high sandstone wall, overlooking the park entrance. Its low, horizontal profile minimises visual impact and serves as a podium to the heritage house behind. The massed base and concrete-block buttresses anchor the house, while the lighter first-floor framework modulates the house amongst the trees.

Difficulty and Virtue
The Xurigué building was drawn and built in 1868 by the master builder Pau Martorell in the heart of Sant Antoni neighborhood. It was one of the first illegal constructions in Cerdà’s Eixample and it was located just outside the walls of what had been the Gate of Sant Antoni and where 10 years later the current market would appear. This is one of those Barcelona buildings born between eras. In an Eixample that still had not defined its specific “Eixample Typology”, the Xurigué building is part of the tradition exported from Ciutat Vella neighborhood, where masters used to build in narrow bays.

According to the mythology, whoever eats the fruit of the tree will be unable to leave the area.

As a botanist, the owner desired a home where her design concept extended out beyond the home and into the natural landscape. Her partner is an off-road motorbike rider and founder of a channel for enduro. They both wanted their home to reflect both their emotional and professional connection to the environment. These philosophical parameters inspired the design process.
Located on the edge of an urbanization of the 60s, halfway between Carmona and Seville, the size of the plot (more than 4000 m2), its peripheral position and the absence of neighbors, make the physical space where the housing in something fully RURAL, empty of any urban or built reference. With these wickers, the implementation strategy resumes the invariance of Andalusian rural architecture, based on geometry and the creation of exterior spaces – central and secondary courtyards- around which the building is located.
The owners of this house contacted us after they visited our first house in Castlecrag designed by us in 1972. They were drawn to the compact size, the subtle building palette of the house and the respect it had towards the Walter Burley Griffin conservation area.
As the owner grew up in the original post-war house built by his parents on the site (similar to the surrounding houses) their knowledge of the site was very helpful. Also on the edge of the Walter Burley Griffin conservation area, the site has a fall from the street to the rear of about 3m and a lovely rock outcrop that was opened up to the public at the rear.
In this age of rising sea levels and palatial homes overrunning coastal towns and dominating their fragile ecosystems, this modestly-sized net-zero-energy house stands out. The house was designed in close collaboration with the local Conservation Commission, exceeds recently updated FEMA regulations, and was designed to produce as much electricity as it uses over the course of a year. Its overtly modern design is a formal response to its rugged site and to the impending risks of climate change.
The Client Mrs. Tara Pillai and Mr. Sreekumar, based in Delhi wanted an eco-friendly abode that also retains the peace and quiet in the busy city of Trivandrum.
The residence depicts an atmosphere that is an oxymoron in nature – Serene and warm, with minimalistic decors, at the same time adventurous and wild in design.
The site was on a low-lying terrain with issues of water-logging, which was the primary obstacle we had to tackle.The primary idea was to ensure that the building wasn’t creating a hindrance in the flow of water. Being in a state like Kerala, where rains are frequent, we had to ensure that the water percolates into the ground and that it could be harvested. We had to come up with an alternative and sustainable solution which could also enhance the spatial quality- a pond in the lowest point of the site so that water is retained in the site as well as, adding to the veristic vibe of the residence.
This family house was designed to maximise garden connections and northern sun on an east/west orientated site in the Melbourne bayside suburb of Hampton.
The house presents as a simple composition of three forms to the street. The garage is clad in weathered recycled hardwood to conceal the garage doors and contrast with the vertically grooved cladding delivered by Habitech’s wall panels for the rest of the house. Its curved wall leads to a front door in the void between garage and front bedroom forms.
