Her “little apartment” in Barcelona may not have been short of meters, charm, views or location, but look where she always thought that she was limping on something. He told her that “you cannot have everything” and she repeated that it was not so much that she wanted to have everything but a simple need to give a name to what she was missing.
The project of the apartments in Moscow for a young couple. The main objective of the project was to unite three separate apartments into a single functional space. The loft style was taken as a basis. The abundance of concrete, decorative coatings, natural materials and metals in finishing create a cozy but strict atmosphere. The color range is monochrome – white, grey, black, plus the natural color of wood and bright accents of furniture and textiles.
The Project tackles the delicate topic of integrating a contemporary artifact in the Old Town of Favara (Sicily), in a consolidated frame of row houses.
Knowing the urban tissue, the project management reveals a conscious contemporaneity, based on the building know-how and the ability to obtain high-quality housing outcomes, reflecting the evolving requirements and performances which merge into a complex dimension of the “physics of the building”. Giglia’s Project follows these parameters of attention, rationality and expressivity. The result is simply amazing: a white strong gem proudly set in the surrounding urban fabric – showing a low architectural value – linked with the city through small holes and scenic overlooks on the Old Town.

A growing family sets out the necessity of enlarge their home of three rooms and 85m2 by adding a second apartment, originally with two rooms and 60m2. The main premise to keep in mind is that the family has to be able to keep on living in their own home during the construction course.
The morphologic analysis of the original apartment emphasize that the night space presented a functional distribution of three rooms and two bathrooms, with minimum circulation area and a suitable size. Furthermore, day space presented an excessive fragmentation and a smaller size. That’s why it is chosen to keep the night space and remodel and enlarge the day space, excluding the kitchen.
The Catskills are part of the larger Appalachian Mountains, located in southeastern New York characterized by their forests and the great amount of water in the form of rivers, creeks and reservoirs.

This project was for a house located in the corner of a densely populated area with various houses of different age, height, frontage, and color.The site is at the corner of a road with heavy traffic day and night despite its narrowness, and the adjacent house is built so close together, nearly touching the site boundary. Considering the noise and privacy, it was inevitable to adopt a structure that is closed to the surrounding environment. Therefore, the challenge was to prevent the room from having a locked-up feeling and to incorporate the natural environment.
Syncline ˈ(ˈsin-ˌklīn): a fold in stratified rock with younger layers closer to the center of the structure. The home sits on the lone syncline that runs through peninsular Halifax.
