After only 4 months of construction time, Stilt Studios is happy to announce the opening of our first wooden prototype of Treehouse C in Ubud, Bali.
This wooden Treehouse C is located in Penestanan, a village just outside the town of Ubud, in Bali, Indonesia. It has been known as an artist’s village since the 1930s.
The area is a 15-minute walking distance to Ubud center. Surrounded by cozy restaurants & bar scenes while at the same time embedded into lush rice fields, it is a quiet area with a high living standard. The Treehouse is part of a little housing community called Bukit Sari.
Dr. Prévost housing project is situated in an increasingly urbanized residential neighbourhood close to the city centre. The existing cantonal master plan of the area is insensitive to its context and partly ignores the topography. It demands a sturdy L-shaped, 8 story building in the middle of a neighbourhood composed of individual villas with neat gardens. A dense programme, heavily regulated by housing laws and economical pressure, intends for a predefined mix of social housing and affordable condominiums.
On the edge of a densely built residential area in the Allgäu hills, we created a wooden house for a variety of uses. The adjacent popular recreation and landscape conservation area prompted us to incorporate the surrounding nature into the design of the house. The new building follows the proportions of the existing building from the 1960s. The staggered storey set back from the street communicates with the slope, whose original steepness we have restored. The restrained, horizontally structured architecture with a façade made of local wood blends harmoniously into the natural surroundings. Floor-to-ceiling glazing, visual axes and open living spaces that offer numerous views stage nature and bring it into the house.
Dana Oberson Architects Studio has recently completed a new project in the marina complex located on the beach of Herzliya. The owners chose the apartment because of its proximity to the sea and wanted to preserve the feeling of space and tranquility it brings. The program features defined public and private areas that consist of open space with a living room, kitchen, and dining area. The private area has a master bedroom, two bathrooms, and a study used as a grandchildren’s room.
The site is an hour’s drive away through the East from Bangkok; Chachoengsao, in which the suburb’s living environment is closed to a city, many factories and the sea (Gulf of Thailand), which produces excessive level of soil salinity. A non-terrain land with an artificial pond is where the villa is located. This man-made pond was built to be used as consuming water as well as an atmospheric visualization and all relaxation senses. As mentioned above, saline soil causes brackish water in the pond, which the water was no longer used for consuming not only for household use, but also agricultural use. In order to alter this low biodiversity water into freshwater, rainwater is needed to dilute an existing water in the pond.
The spacious loft on the ground floor of a commercial rear building in Berlin Kreuzberg is located in the rooms of a former car repair shop.
Together with the owner, a spacious living and working environment was created, which atmosphere is not only due to the choice of materials but also through technically complex and sophisticated measures such as the underfloor heating and the acoustic ceiling.
Both of these do not appear, but make a decisive contribution to wellbeing. An installation for the kitchen and bathroom with sauna was created in the former workshop, with a workspace and a media lounge on the upper level.
This interior design project for a city apartment includes the design of custom made furniture and of the garden, advices on what kind of products for the interiors should be bought and what colour and material for the facades should be used. Moreover, with the help of experts, we have also pursuit a total well-being, solving outdoor acoustic and environmental issue and removing electromagnetic pollution indoor.

Located at the crest of a steep sand embankment, Sandcastle is built on a block many considered too difficult to build on; a forty-five-degree slope that presented a climb to reach the house even a mountain goat would find challenging. Yet despite this, and the added constraint of a sewer main running through the middle of the site, our young clients were not discouraged when they bravely chose to purchase the site in Sydney’s Point Piper to create their home.
Ayenevarzan House is the permanent residence of a young couple with a particular cultural and artistic background that differs from the social context of the neighborhood in which the project is located.
Initially, this cultural difference and client’s desires and expectations propelled the project to an introverted design; a design that does not consider a building as a separate entity. The project revolves around taking maximum advantage of sunlight and scenic views of Alborz Mountains, as well as all other potentials that attract us from urban life to rural environments.
The house is located in the Southwest of Alentejo, deep in the Grandola hills. The gently undulating topography contrasts with the harsh dryness of the landscape and its bare vegetation of cork and holm oaks with sparse bushes creeping from the calcareous soil.
Given its remoteness and isolation, the house echoes the tradition of the Portuguese alcáçova, or qasbah, following its Arab etymology, which functioned as a defensive citadel, or compound, with its constructions built within and protected by a high-walled perimeter. Poetically, it summons the Heideggerian notion of “bounded space”, of the human need to define a place of dwelling amidst the endlessness of the landscape. In fact, this typology of a fortified farm is the dominant form of occupation across the Maghreb and the Mediterranean, from Roman antiquity and Arab settlements, to Fernand Pouillon’s and Le Corbusier’s excursus in Argel.
