The Project is located in Mosha, Damavand, 60 Km from Tehran at 2400 meters altitude and we have very strong winter.
The land area is about 600 m2 with dimensions of 30 x 20 meters and a slope of 20%. According to the following expression we confronted with such a difficult circumstance and trying to do our best to get the advantage of available spaces and land in order to meet the client demands. Due to this description, we decided to divide the land in 3 parts: the biggest one located in the north of the land for locate the building in where there is the relevant road. The second part is used for the outdoor entertainment activities and the third part will be the green area of the lot.
Casa Ztudio is a personal project where we had the opportunity to create spaces that reflect our lifestyle and personality.
This project not only embraces simplicity through its geometry, distribution and materials, but frames our daily life.
The house develops on a single floor plan, where it was important to us that both the common area (living room, kitchen, dining room) and bedroom had natural light and ventilation. For the multipurpose room we were looking for the opposite, we wanted to create a dark room for meditation.
Located on a river bank in Mampully, Banyan tree house is intended for a young couple and their two kids. Plot constitutes an area of 630sqms and has an interesting L shaped site profile.
Spatial planning of the house follows the site profile and is anchored around an existing banyan tree on the west of the site. A buffer radius of 11ft is kept around the banyan for building safety, this shaded area houses the garden seating.Floor plates of BTH branch out through the site in an angular grid to form a series of interaction spaces and green niches. Spaces are positioned to establish visual connection between themselves and landscape without compromising privacy.
Sand Dunes is an award winning house, set back from the beautiful beach of Mawgan Porth on Cornwall’s north coast.

This 400 sqm apartment in Mexico City is characterized by the simplicity of its shapes, open spaces, and neutral palette that results in an aesthetic and functional balance.
The entrance hall is a transitional element: LED lightning within a gray Rochelle marble box (same marble found in the corridor leading up to the front door) makes a dynamic use of linear design to highlight the cube’s textures.
The 235m² duplex penthouse was the choice of artist and influencer from Minas Gerais, Sophia Mattar, who arrived in São Paulo two years ago. With the desire to live in a property with open spaces, minimalist, elegant, but above all a true haven of peace, he hired the architects Amanda Castro and Giovana Giosa, from the Studio AG office, to lead the renovation of the project.
The generous 60m² outdoor area, with a backyard style, became even more cozy after being fully integrated into the social environments. All the walls on this floor, with the exception of the structural ones, were torn down, including the other balcony, which gave space to the dining room, which provided multipurpose, relaxing and uncluttered environments.
This project was a full renovation of a vintage apartment measuring approximately 65 square meters in Sakyō-ku, Kyoto.
The clients were a couple who are both active as artists. Because they asked to install the wife’s work room adjoining the living-dining-kitchen area but in a way enabled her to shut herself off from the outside world while she was creating, we planned a large glass partition so that both rooms would retain their individuality while being loosely connected.
The brick screen house is a renovation project envisioned as a synthesis of contextual parameters and user functional requirements. The project promises a better environment of living for the client from the old congested and messy house, which also architecturally enhances the climatic, contextual potential of the location. The main design intent was to blur the boundaries between the built and the natural elements.

The resort is situated in a rural landscape of Ayutthaya, Thailand, surrounded by the Chao Phraya River on one side and the canal on the other. The architectural design is a contemporary re-interpretation of the local rural landscape and intends to connect people to the life of the river and its atmosphere.
The buildings are scaled down to be in grain with the surrounding local houses, alternating and surrounded by lushness of trees, and arranged in clusters with variation of positioning, in and out with various building heights. The roofline of the clusters is corresponding to those of the surrounding villages. Yet the villas are contemporary in their spatiality. The living space of the villa is designed as if it is suspended between nature, with one full front opens up and connects to the river and another full opening opens up to the small courtyard on the opposite side. The hotel room type has a special bay window as a cozy little place to snuggle oneself in and to be connected with the rural canal view beyond.
