“They were there. It was their home…They gave us permission. Suddenly, you feel the birds, the shadows protecting you, the light dancing, aroma of nature, sound of leaves and wind.
The soft heartwood is the beginning, you will enjoy it, it will guide your way, you will travel upon it, you will enter their leaves and walk on them, climb on them, till you reach the top.”
1A Pervomayskaya is a centrally located quarter in Tyumen, featuring apartments, business premises, and public space. The project is based in the old city centre, where theatres, museums, shopping malls, business centres, and 19th-century historical monuments are in the immediate vicinity.

This unique house extends over an area of 240 square meters, and has become a home to a father and son who live side by side. The two decided to move from the city of Jerusalem to build a home in the vibrant city of Tel Aviv.
In Israel, there are two major cities that are radically different in their nature. Jerusalem as a traditional city, is full of conservative materials, while Tel Aviv, unlike Jerusalem is a modern and up-to-date beach city. The move from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv is reflected in the choice of innovative materials and modern planning.
It is rare to encounter an Israeli-built house that looks as if it was taken from the cover of one of the world’s most prestigious magazines. The house, planned by interior designer Keren Niv-Toledano in a village in the center of Israel, exactly fulfills that definition thanks to experiential living spaces in which attention has been paid to every detail, combining perfect functionality and visuality of exceptional quality – a perfect balance of masses and dimensions that exist together harmoniously.
The Rodgers ADU, located in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, is a low-cost, sustainable example of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), which is a relatively new typology in California. An ADU is a legal second dwelling, complete with its own separate address, on a lot zoned for only one house. In 2017, a new state law went into effect in response to a statewide housing shortage which encourages homeowners to build these. In Los Angeles, the construction of new affordable housing units has been outpaced by population growth. Affordable ADUs offer some relief to this ongoing housing crisis.

Upon approaching the front door, the view opens up to the sand dune and beach beyond.
A private house at the Klevarie site in Maastricht. Within the historic city walls this was before an old monastery garden, later a hospital and nursing home. But always served as hidden green space for the site. In our urban plan for the site we cherished this green space.
