This property, a vibrant and lively home of five, belongs to a hi-tech professional couple and their three grown children. Despite the narrow and relatively small 244 sqm plot, the owners managed to build their dream home, which features stunning swimming pool.
This hi-tech professional couple who loves to entertain hired Architect Shlomit Zeldman, owner of “Shlomit Zeldman Design Studio”, to make their dream home come true. The process took over two years from start to finish, during which time the long and narrow plot was made the most of. According to Zeldman, the process took two and a half years, starting with the planning and permit applications, and ending with the construction itself. “The plans focused on the swimming pool as the property centerpiece, surrounded by seating areas, an outdoor kitchen, and all the mod cons you could think of, to stylishly entertain guests”, she adds.
This project was built adjacent to the Mountain Course in the Bighorn Golf Club, Palm Desert, California, in the foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains. The design of the central living space has formed a theatrical proscenium, framing the desertscape scene of mountains, trees, and sky.
Our client visited the desert frequently growing up, and always wanted a house there. In addition to an indoor/outdoor open feeling, he wanted to see water from every vantage point in the house. Yoav Weiss, the Architect + Project Manager, explains, “This is why we not only have the backyard patio that pockets neatly into the fireplace and kitchen, but have created the entryway courtyard, which is really a very large pond. From anywhere in the backyard, you see the pool. From anywhere in the kitchen, you see both the pool and the courtyard. And then from all the bedrooms, if you open the door, you have views of the water through the columns. While very private from the street side, every room has a view of the water. “

A Clear rationalist layout and enveloping spaces define this reform project for an apartment in Lleida. The project by Alfred García Gotós studio seeks to improve the environmental quality and comfort of the inhabitants of this refuge in the city.
The volumetric composition of the spaces is generated naturally, giving rise to a house with a constructed area of 95 m2 The project consists of the day area with kitchen space open to the living room, the night area with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
This House is located in a small town near Tehran, the capital of Iran. The client had to make a decision between selling his land so they could migrate to the capital and building a permanent house; a home where the family could experience a different way of life, in addition to providing tranquility.
The main goal in the design process was to create a differentiating connection between this house and its neighbors; in other words, how it is perceived in the neighborhood and how it contributes to the urban image. This house was designed on the border of separation and connection with its surrounding environment, “what can be seen and how are we observed?”

These owners chose this property based on its fantastic potential and carried out an extensive renovation project that transformed it inside and out. The original property was stripped down to its basics and was built back bigger and better. A spacious entertaining space on the ground floor, luxurious bedroom suits, a garden that could compete with any spa resort and a pampering pool, all turn this house into a true gem.
The owners of this property, a couple who love to travel and have an eye for aesthetics, have purchased and renovated several apartments and houses in the past. They chose this property as they valued the potential of its original architecture, and they loved the fact that it had several split levels as opposed to a standard 2-storey property. The house was built in the 1980s as part of a development that characterizes the street, and its biggest advantage was the fact that the ceiling in the main living area could easily be raised to create a large open space.

A country retreat. That was the dream of the young couple with children, when back in 2019 they hired us to design their country house interiors. Long-time clients of our firm, they expressed their desire for a cosy space, which could offer the same amenities they have in their home in the city, but providing other sensory and aesthetic experiences, with a more direct interaction with nature.
Due to the pandemic, this desire was strengthened and translated into the search for lightness and calmness in each one of the rooms. A neutral palette has then been adopted, dictating the décor of the entire residence. Avoiding any colourful element – in order not to compromise the peaceful aura that we intended to emphasize –, the design approach focused on exploring different forms, framings and plasticities, especially promoting the use of natural materials.
Above the city level, located on top of one of the central neighborhood’s hills, a sloping terrain gives way to the Asa de Borboleta Residence. Adopting the lifestyle and preferences of the family, the project approached the contemporary applied to the location and the direction of the land to the city related to the path of the sun.
At first glance, when entering the gate, a patio in front of the children’s bedrooms introduces the lightness and the relationship of the house with the outside. The brise element on the bedroom doors allows light and ventilation to enter, whether open or closed.
