This project is a small collective housing building in the city of Buenos Aires on an urban plot of 8.66 meters wide and 33 meters deep. The project works with an independent concrete structure where columns and beams are hidden in the different wall enclosures such as the dividing wall and the interior divisions that organize the housing units. A vertical patio in the center of the plant organizes the circulation and access from an illuminated space with a tree in the center that will grow up every year and manifesting the cycle of the seasons from the change of color of the leaves.

Three different buildings surround a large inner space. In this courtyard we find the car park. Partially closed and covered with vegetation, it offers the backdrop to the scene.
The buildings contain dwellings. They vary in volume and floor plan, and set out to configure an urban form that adapts to the place and the use.
The dwellings aim to offer high levels of interior quality and all have large outdoor terraces.
On the east side of Amstelveen’s centre, the Up Mountain residential building recently rose from the ground to tower above the shopping area like a mountain village. The building, which has a rising staggered formation, resembles ice floes stacked on top of each other, or a mountain village built against a slope. Indeed, Up Mountain is an appropriate name for this eye-catching structure that’s invigorating the city centre.

Indulging in the Sunday pleasure of idleness, a couple observes the effervescence of the Parvis des Nefs. The big elephant leaves the Galerie des Machines. Its gears animate the imposing pachyderm and fascinate young and old. The children are playing. The teens congregate around the benches, and further on, a street fitness session brings together around fifty people. On the horizon, the merry-go-round of the Mondes Marins and the titanic yellow crane punctuate the landscape with their fascinating curiosity. Vast public spaces with evocative names such as the Jardin des Berges, the Jardin des Voyages, the Esplanade des Traceurs de Coques, the Parc des Chantiers, the Terrasse des Vents make up the panorama of the old shipyards of île de Nantes.
That’s right, this is a collection created by both Dushe and the owner in five years
In 2015, when the design of this residential building in the center of Wuhan was started, the owner of Sheng and Si grew up with a unique feeling for such a rare land in the core area. He and his children will live in this project, so they hope to build Wuhan the best residence still 20 years later, and can stand the test of the times. So when the designer wanted to buy and was rejected because it had already been booked, the designer believed that the project met expectations.
