The brief was to design a house for a father son duo, who had recently lost the lady of the house.
CONCEPT
The idea was to design a house that brings its occupants in close contact with elements of nature in order to lend a strong spiritual character. The overall concept was devised as the free plan with interconnecting volumes, that emphasize the sense of nothingness overlooking the courtyard & a blank stone wall painted in light. Spaces like courtyard & verandah were reinterpreted to suit the urban context.
The FLAMINGO house was designed on a plot of land located near the historic centre of Żory- Silesian town in central Poland. On the eastern side, it borders on local street on the other side on city’s recreational and park areas.
The plot has a unique shape of terrain. It’s highest part runs along the southern border of the plot and significantly descends to the north along the road and to the north-west, creating a depression there. The difference in height across the plot is approx. 5 m.
To design a house for a single old lady & her tenants for ensuring security.
CONCEPT
The concept was devised as a free plan around a central courtyard. The levels & accesses were carefully divided between the lady and the tenants to allow for comfort & privacy.
Multifamily residential project Braniborska 44 is a closed quarter building with an internal patio covered with greenery. The neat tectonic is created through the deliberate use of voids and by distinguishing the external and internal façades by withdrawing peripheral loggias and protruding balconies towards the patio. The use of appropriately selected materials, with distinctive 3D cassettes made of gold-colored sheet metal in the entrance portal, allowed for a noble and elegant appearance.
Project shortlisted in Life Challange 2022 competition final.
Cavanilles in his work “Observations on the natural history, geography, agriculture, population and fruits of the kingdom of Valencia”, quotes La Pobla de Farnals as a “llogaret que creix de dia en dia”, in Spanish “a little place that grows day by day”, and describes it as an example of a village in the Valencian Horta dedicated to agriculture.
El Llogaret reinterpreted by Nada is inspired by the emblematic Mediterranean villages with a design that combines tradition and the avant-garde. Something very much ours with a modern twist.
The original commercialized house type is not satisfying to the young couple’s eyes, not only the lifestyle cannot be implanted, but also the spatial atmosphere is far below expectations.
We hope to virtualize the interface of certain spaces, but of course, they can still become solid when needed; in the open mode, the walls of various spaces are interspersed with each other, either solid or virtual, just like the line paintings of the Tang Dynasty (Lu Xun, “Letters to Li Hua”)

This residential complex includes two twin buildings, realized in different phases. The construction of the first building, Madroños 27, in the Parque Conde de Orgaz area, required the previous processing of a planning figure, a detailed study, as well as the formal and functional adaptation of the building to its surroundings.
The convergence of orientation and views at noon on the front access of the plot, the existence to the north of a degraded urban environment and the adjoining buildings of a certain entity in both side boundaries, led us to positioning the façades rotated 45º with respect to the orthogonal limits of the plot.

The Drive is a sleek, stylish and modern 21st century house. With every detail finely honed, the house is a shining example of carefully considered architecture and precisely-detailed construction.
The site is ideal for this type of house, a rectangular plot facing due south and sloping down to the road; achieving a grand vista from the entrance.
Located on a plot of land in the heart of the block occupied by an 8 stories car park, the project comprises two operations of 75 housing units for sale and 74 social housing units.
The project proposes to engage the project’s actors, as well as the inhabitants, in the steps of a rational, visionary and sustainable approach to urban transformation.
The Perched House stands true to its name; wherein the first floor mass hangs effortlessly on the ground floor, forming a minimal and indulging architectural elevation. The house rests in a modest plot size of 6800 sft. The dwelling of 3 bedrooms, common spaces and an entertainment room takes upto 6000 sft in its built form.
A house is not just the elevation but also the planning. Much time had gone into planning the house such that everything is well-connected vertically and horizontally as well as keeping the house naturally well lit and ventilated. This thought formed the idea of having a double height space as the heart of the house. This south-west facade opened up to the margin courtyard on the outside and was a dining room in the inside. The open floor plan on the ground floor meant that only the bedroom was enclosed, while all the remaining common spaces were visually and physically well connected by partition screens and glass partitions.
