Villa B is a tranquil retreat tucked away in the mountains, where the stillness is broken only by the warbling of birds. The client envisioned the villa as a haven from their busy work schedule—a place to relax both mind and body and pursue personal interests and hobbies undistracted. The sun-drenched site is surrounded by woodland and contains a natural hot-spring source.

Preciousness and sophistication define the project to renovate the intimate area of a 1200m2 duplex apartment.
With a privileged location, the apartment, on the 34th floor, overlooks Ibirapuera Park. On the first visit to the property with the client, Diego Revollo was adamant that the apartment’s main attribute was the spectacular view of Ibirapuera and the São Paulo city skyline, and that this would be the starting point for the project.3

Meadow View is an exceptional extension and refurbishment in a scenic village of Leicestershire, completed by award-winning Winchester based architects AR Design Studio.
The clients desired a contemporary new build but lacked the budget for a full replacement. ARs approach therefore was to transform the rather unattractive house into what appears to be a new contemporary home without the expense of starting from scratch. Identifying what was useful to keep and what had to go in order to create the modern aesthetic and to keep on budget was the key to a successful outcome.
Innovative engineering that enabled the new Olympia DUMBO residential tower in Brooklyn to billow towards the sky with an eye-catching, sail-shaped silhouette has earned DeSimone Consulting Engineering official recognition.
Olympia DUMBO combines luxury living with a cutting-edge design and delivery approach, offering 175,000 square feet of upscale residences atop a 70,000-square-foot podium and a plethora of best-in-class amenities that include New York City’s highest private outdoor tennis court, indoor and outdoor pools, a shipwreck-themed playground, and waterpark for kids.
Livadi Konacık Houses project is a project consisting of 4 villas on a land of 1362 sqm, located in the central Konacık District of Bodrum. Villas, each with a private swimming pool, are on average 155 sqm. The project aims to provide a sense of privacy while taking advantage of being located in the center of the city.
Our main approach in design was to combine natural, sustainable and innovative materials with modern and contemporary forms. In order to allow optimum daylight into the interior, we used the joinery on the facade in large sizes and with a sliding system. We placed wooden dividers on the balconies. Our principle here is that we want to preserve the sense of privacy of all villas and create the perception of contemporary form with this wooden pergola that expands as it goes up. The natural stone we lay irregularly on the facade not only adds a stylish appearance to the building, but also ensures that it keeps the building cool in summer and warm in winter. The facade created by natural stone, wood and metal panels fits exactly the way we express the modernity and sustainability perception we want.
We prioritized natural materials and modern design decisions for interior design, as for the facade design. Efforts have been made to ensure maximum mobility in open-plan living spaces. In the American kitchen, storage areas are used at an optimum level and elegance is provided with natural materials. Details such as the ghost staircase and the pebbled plant corner were important points of our design. The metal railings where the wooden steps meet look like thin ropes holding the stairs in the air.

Renovation PROJECT for a couple who love color, design, travel and family. We generated a luminous and rhythmic route, so that the hallway did not look like a tunnel. We projected a width of 1.15m (wider than conventional hallways), lowered the ceiling plane to 2.40m and carefully studied the covering and finishing proposal to assess the light and compositional balance of the elevations.

The site gently slopes down to a residential area with a forest in the background. Although there are adjacent residential areas, you will be in deep woods and even have a chance to encounter antelope and raccoons as you walk toward the back of the house.
The pragmatic and cozy come together in an avant-garde design.
Functionality and wellbeing are the adjectives that describe the design for Departamento R&J done by López Duplan Arquitectos. The project emanated from a circular floorplan of approximately 700 sq. m in which the spaces were distributed using the elevators module as main axis and fully exploiting its location in the center of the space.
