Architects were assigned to design a corner villa in an urban finished civil work.
In here, series of apartments were finished civil work and sold many years ago. Many of them have not been used and damaged by years when the urbanization is ahead of the need of people.
The villa overlooks a wide space with an extensive view and a large meadow. From the inside of villa, one can see the whole of Western view – the main hot direction of Vietnam climate.
“The design of this home explores organic forms inspired by the topography, shoreline, and water to enhance the connections between interior and exterior, the built and the natural.” –Kirsten R. Murray, FAIA, Design Principal.
This single-family home for a couple with young children provides an open, flexible living space that supports family life, as well as an adjacent workshop and garage for the owner’s avid interest in car restoration. Gently curved roof forms are inspired by the topography of the site and Lake Washington’s undulating shoreline, creating a sculptural grouping of buildings on the site. A light approach to landscape preserves the site’s existing trees, including a Japanese maple that frames the front entry. Durable materials provide long-term, low-maintenance protection against the wet climate.
Retail spaces are evolving into lifestyle complexes that are inspiring, diversified and immersive to surround visitors with a curated experience to fulfil various lifestyle and social needs. Chengdu’s Xichen Paradise Walk in China, designed by LWK + PARTNERS, encourages social interaction and community life with high transparency and accessibility to bring together people, their neighbourhoods and nature. It is pilot project of the third-generation Paradise Walk brand, setting a new benchmark for future projects.
Xichen Paradise Walk is the retail component of an integrated complex in the heart of west Chengdu, bookended by an office tower and a serviced apartment tower also designed by LWK + PARTNERS and adjacent to the residential component. The architectural form features an interplay of geometric shapes, creating an iconic beacon-like façade. Addressing an important traffic intersection to the south west, the corresponding elevation features an urban-scale shop window designed for the ever-changing, large-scale installations and seasonal contents.
This project was developed on a flag shaped hillside lot in the Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles. The orientation of the site is within a canyon where the sun rises from above a steep hill behind the flat building pad. The favorable views from this lot are on the opposite side of the suns path, looking downhill towards the neighborhood canyon. The design challenge was to orient the building towards the view, while allowing sunlight to illuminate the core of the building from the opposite direction. In addition, the local municipality has an overlay zoning regulation which limits the use of skylights and prohibits single level flat roofs, requiring an additional secondary flat roof which must cover at least 30% of the total roof area.
La Huerta House is located in the eastern sector of the city of Santiago. It is characterized by being a corner site, this allows the house to have two facades that are exposed to the street.
The commission was to remodel a one floor house, incorporate a second floor and design the outdoor spaces; As the land is located in a corner, we wanted to project a pure volume with a wooden covering that contrasts with the materiality of the first floor and from the outside it will simulate floating on the ground like a wooden box.

The building is located in Shioya Town, Shioya County, Tochigi Prefecture. Surrounded by the houses and fields that have Ohya stone warehouses, the scenery continues to be long and quiet.
The family keeps this large land from generation to generation, where there is a main house, a remote, a storehouse, a store, a well, a field, a garden. And when the young son got married, he told me that he wanted to make another one away.
Federico Delrosso Designs A House At High Altitude In Dialogue With The Alpine Landscape.
Federico Delrosso engages with the project of a house in the mountains, minimal and perfectly integrated into the Alpine landscape of the Aosta Valley, located at over 2,000 meters high on the slopes of Mont Blanc in the La Thuile valley – Les Souches.
The project came as a challenge for us, due to the fact that the intervention took place on an already completed construction, which was 10 years old.
At first glance, the shape of the house was quite expressive but, unfortunately, through a unitary treatment of the facades, the important elements were not highlighted, which is why we considered that by applying decorative plaster in different colors on the faces of the volumes we would create a more dynamic effect.
In Londrina, the 170 m² residence is a place for a mix of eras and references and tells the story of a couple from Paraná. The space harmonizes the collection of pieces that the resident, the farmer and designer Valdomiro Favoreto, collects since he was 20.
In order to expand the internal area, the living room and kitchen open to the outside area, integrating the space. The yard has won an ipe deck on the floor and spaghetti armchairs of the 1960s. The minimalist air is result of the texas grass and the mirror hanging on the wall, the dweller’s design.
