Villa Radal is a single-family house in Långedrag west of the city of Gothenburg. The name of the place was first recorded in 1766, and then referred to a saltery and a fishing village to the west of Gothenburg. The great herring rush in the late 18th century contributed to the development of the village. But it was only when the tramway extended to the west in 1908 that a larger number of villas, both lavishly architect designed and smaller with a self-built character, began to be erected in the area.

Stylish Black Lines Apartment is located in Bucharest, in a building finished in the beginning of 2020. It has two bedrooms : a master bedroom and an office that becomes the guest bedroom when needed. The initial partition was modified a little bit, because we wanted to create an open-space between the kitchen and the living room.
Day area
The black metallic elements, the well defined lines, the insertion of hard wood parts all around the furniture and the color accents found mainly in the upholstered objects, create all together a stylish industrial atmosphere inside this new apartment.
This house along the Leuvense Vaart in Mechelen never ceases to fascinate. A seemingly random play of asymmetrical concrete canopies opens and closes the façade, creating a pleasing impression of introverted openness.
A House with a consistent story
The dynamics created by the angled concrete canopies and the sophisticated positioning of the triangular storeys was an aesthetic necessity, designed in response to the environment in which the house was built. In this case, a narrow, deep plot with close proximity to neighbours, but also with an expansive view of the canal and the fields behind it. The concept of the house is the result of a creative process that takes all these parameters into account in a single, consistent story.
Mocoli house tries to be a sculpture that captivates by its purist line, reflection and silence; an encounter with yourself and create captivating tours which are the main axles in the search of generating a new connection between the natural and a space to live in achieving in its interior various nuances of centinal light, where nature is the main character and remains marked by pure architecture that in the most intimate spaces achieves a spiritual connection, escaping from the day to day tension.
The introduction is based in the study of the project orientation and it feels like a fundamental duty of the architects, achieve intimate space and comfort, protected from the direct income of the sun throughout the use of double blinded fade.
Sits by a lagoon but in the suburb of Bangkok, this week-end getaway house features a laid-back ambience where the dwellers could be unwinded in its serene settings, away from the busy urban routines. Isolated yet within reach from CBD. The overall layout was mainly organized around this dual aspect quality. The arrival front facing the entry road and the opposite reflecting the water surface in. The 2 main axis of the massing are also perfectly aligned the perfect view angle for any living corners in the residence and the other to the entrance from the main road. This creates interesting twist and interlocking massing articulation.
The project consists of two Villas with guest areas and outdoor facilities, located in Santa Maria, a nature environmentally protected peninsula characterized as ‘‘Natura’’ at the North East end of Paros in close proximity to Naoussa, that overlooks the sea and the islets Fonisses, Ovriokastro and Kouronisi, and gazes towards the horizon the neighboring island of Naxos. Situated on the focal point of the lot, terraced courtyards and wide-open spaces lead to a plateau which extends between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

The property is located right on the edge of the forest. The main challenge was to integrate the building into the existing natural surroundings creating an ideal connection to the woods. Therefore this project was inspired by nature. Despite its location close to the city, it is particularly influenced by the nearby forest.
The tranquillity, the green of the trees and the chirping of the birds are part of everyday life here. From the desire to convey a feeling of living in contact with the natural environment, the idea of the project is to create apartments and terraces that seem to float above the tree canopy. The apartments are all south-facing, each of them with thier own surrounding terrace, which provides plenty of privacy.

Any kind of intervention in this space should not interfere with the existing one. More than proposing it was necessary to omit, more than designing it was necessary to recover and integrate, more than composing it was necessary to be simple and silent with rigour in response to new needs. The apartment is integrated in a building originally designed as a Hotêl Particulier. The apartment occupies the 1st floor, originally the floor of the rooms – 11 rooms, one of them used as a bathroom. Being a social floor, almost all the walls and ceilings of these rooms were decorated with rich wall paintings.
When designing this villa to be built along Sardinia’s coastline it was my intention to link it to its geographical and cultural environment using a contemporary and sober language, yet unmistakably Mediterranean and referring to the traditional arts and crafts of this Italian island.
Far from wishing to evoke Sardinia through trite conventional images, inspiration was found in reproducing some textures of traditional weaving (typical ancient and contemporary fabrics and carpets), jewellery (gold filigree), embroidery and basket weaving, transposing them into stone and ceramic finishes and coverings.
