We were very lucky with our customers. We created this project together with an unusual young and friendly family. The main inspiration and source of energy for the renovation was a very interesting and effective woman who works in a theatre. From the first meeting, it became clear how much she cares about the comfort and happiness of her beloved family, and we were happy to help them make their dreams come true.
Amby Valley City, a beautiful township on the outskirts of Mumbai.
In the midst of many houses, a beautiful bungalow of about 5,000 sq.ft was redesigned and refurbished to its best, by KNS Architects on a plot of 20,000 sq.ft.
Being a leading developers space, the house was detailed with upcycled materials.
The builder had tons of material available from different sites. The challenge was to optimize the use of these materials. Upcycle House is a project, aimed at exposing potential carbon-emission reductions through the use of recycled and upcycled building materials. In the case of this project, the reduction has been 86% compared to a benchmark house.
Living in bustling, vibrant Fitzroy, our client asked us to help her with a tree-change, without changing postcode. Her priority was to have a big veggie garden and a farm house, while remaining in the city. With our help, she found an inner suburban cottage with a huge backyard in a community-spirited enclave. We built a new home for her at the rear of the block and renovated the original house at the front for her son’s family to live in. Between the two cottages is a communal pavilion and a large productive garden. With the subtle mix of shared and private spaces, this is a multi-generational home like no other.
A dramatic rise in life expectancy is considered one of the great achievements of the twentieth century, but there are certain ramifications caused by an ageing population.
This 900m² project is located in Vitória, one of the most elegant and valued urban areas in Salvador, the capital of the state of Bahia in northeastern Brazil. A complete renovation of the interior architecture was carried out, with new distributions of the environments and all the decoration.
In the new residence, the family already felt privileged to use the spaces in an uninterrupted manner, covering the 900m² flats. Architect David Bastos understood the individual needs of each one, as well as, because they are surrounded by many friends, the social areas spaces were dedicated to meeting the demand for large and small receptions, combining comfort and good distribution.
ADR architectural studio has been participating in the gradual renovation of the Broumov Monastery over a long period of time. Respecting the masterpiece created by the builders of the monastery, the studio’s projects strive to thoughtfully connect to the work of baroque architects like Christoph Dientzenhofer and his son Kilian Ignaz. Following extensive adjustments in the monastery gardens, which included a project developing the multifunctional civic centre Dřevník (woodshed), the studio has also designed several other buildings in the complex. From the Café Dietzenhofer, to the revitalisation of the Růžový dvůr (the rose yard), a new visitor centre and, primarily, the U Tří růží (Three Roses) restaurant in the south wing of the complex.

The project “Casa na Praça Mouzinho de Albuquerque” represents the materialization of an exercise of spatial organization within an urban plot with a complex configuration. The location of the building – in one of the main squares in the historic center of Braga, in Portugal – determined the option to preserve the existing volume and façades, and also some characteristic elements inside. The intervention focused on accommodating a family program properly adjusted to the spatial needs and facilities that are currently required, finding in the existing volumetry a reason (not a condition) for the distribution and design of the spaces.
At the back of the plot, a new construction appears that frees itself from the formal and plastic language of the existing one, simultaneously assuming a gesture of rupture and continuity with the existing building, by extending the material of the floor and the back facade.
Voith and MacTavish Architects completes a decade-long renovation, restoration, and reconfiguration of a 19th century townhouse in CenterCity, Philadelphia. Now finished, it conveys the traditional character of the original architecture while producing an extraordinary personal expression of the owners’ tastes.
Meeting A Need
The clients, avid connoisseurs of art and classical music, relocated from Wilmington, Delaware to CenterCity, Philadelphia. They selected this 8,000 sq. ft., four-story townhouse for its history and its proximity to major orchestral venues in the city.
This project involves the heavy restructuring of a corner building located at the junction of rue Thiers and rue Carnot, in the heart of the historic center of the city of Vannes.
The existing building, R+2 plus attic, was a bank that we transformed into offices for Groupe Giboire. The aim is to set up a new commercial and real estate development agency. The location of the project is remarkable, close to the port, it is backed by the city walls dating from the 4th century.
The building is a 7,200 square foot renovation/addition, in which we converted a typical residence into a New Orleans style Law office. It features two stories, with large balconies on the front elevation, and a center courtyard complete with brick pavers and a live oak tree as the focal point. It sits on a site on the Interstate 45, in The Woodlands, Texas.
