This project was located in Hoian City, an ancient town in Vietnam. The house has an advantage of natural and cultural background because Hoian is famous for hundreds of years old houses along with diverse and unique flora and rivers. Therefore, we formed the idea to design this house based on the filtering and promoting the cultural and natural values of the locality. Specifically, the architectural form is transformed from the impression of native plants, and the architectural space is transformed from the native residential space. Besides that, we pay attention to the variation in the use of materials and in spatial design or morphology. All aimed at creating a unique and newness of the house, but it’s still adapting to the local climate, comfortable and familiar to indigenous living habits.

Extensive refurbishment and interiors fit out of a central london flat in a mansion block originally constructed at the turn of the last century. The works included substantial structural modifications altering the flat’s layout and introducing new services.
An abandoned 100m2 storage space in a basement of a building from the 50’s in Barcelona turned into a loft & studio: a project that develops around two patios: a bigger one with loads of light, and a smaller that ensures good crossed natural ventilation.
The living area is parallel to the big patio, 13’5x4m originally built with Catalan vaults ceiling to be maintained. A small shed located in the big patio used to cover 1/2 of the patio, but to gain more natural light, it’s reduced to 1/4th of the area. This is where Marcel’s room is located, looking at the outdoor shower and the planters. Industrial Oak flooring was chosen for its aesthetic coherence with the existing form.
A home is an intimate space that exceeds its limitations as mere real estate. Such was the case in Santa Fe, Mexico City, where architect Alejandro de la Vega Zulueta was commissioned to apply his attention to detail to the interior design of a high-rise apartment. The urban district of Santa Fe contains Mexico City’s largest concentration of corporate and residential high-rises, with an aesthetic concept that has been applied equally to both. However, the residential complex of Antigua, located in one of the district’s hills, is an exception to that rule, with abundant green spaces and walking trails, and its use of terracotta and ochre, against backgrounds of blue and ‘Mexican pink’. This clash of elements is important when putting Santa Fe into context as a district offering the possibility to create a new concept, and a new architectural language, for Mexico City.
Glen Iris House comprises alterations and additions to an existing double-fronted, brown-brick-veneer home set on an East-West oriented suburban quarter-acre block.
Due to close proximity of the existing Northern neighbour, we sought northern orientation via clerestory glazing, resulting in a series of light and bright spaces. Deep eave overhangs protect from rain ingress and strategically cast shade in summer while welcoming sunlight during the cooler months.
With an exceptional location, we enter the comprehensive reform and expansion of this Marbella Villa based on three basic points that would give meaning to every decision made later:
– The conservation and enhancement of the characteristic and initially present interesting elements, such as the fireplace in the main room, visible from several points of housing.
This 3,500-square-foot residence is located near Jackson Hole, Wyoming in a neighborhood with flat, open, grassy sites with expansive views of Glory Peak, surrounding buttes and ranchlands. Long time visitors to Jackson, this retired couple from Pittsburgh, desired a house that would add substance to their 18-acre, prairie-like, site while maintaining an unimposing, modern, design.
