The apartment H is located along Medena Street in a building block from the ‘40s. The three-room apartment lacks the high ceilings and axial enfilade which are a staple of the surrounding apartments built during the time of The First Czechoslovak Republic (1918 – 1938). Despite this, with its rational disposition, the apartment remains evocative of these spatial principles. The central axis of the original corridor spans the apartment from the entrance through the main living space, and continues through the double-wing glazed door to the master bedroom. The living space concept therefore kept its Old Town character, even despite its smaller size and orientation away from the street and into the common courtyard.
This hillside home is 2600 square feet with two bedrooms. Similar to its sibling shoreline home, Seaview Escape, it is done in the Pacific Northwest-style, with wood floors and an expansive two-story glazing allowing a view of the mountains from the upper balcony. Cantilevered wood “floating” stair treads lead to a library overlooking the double-height living and dining space below. Beach glass and nautical light fixtures were chosen for the bathrooms to bring a coastal feel indoors. A stone mass wall with corten panels provides the focal point of the living space, housing a fireplace and media center while providing separation from the master suite. The house is connected to a wooded pathway that leads to the beach.
Bean Buro was tasked with the design of Yakinikumafia on Hollywood Road in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, a restaurant brand from Japan specialised in high-quality yakiniku (“grilled meat”). The floor space is situated in a vibrant district in the heart of the city, where there is a mixture of residents, tourists and office workers. The neighbourhood of Sheung Wan especially has a strong characteristic of art, antiques, nightlife and restaurants. The restaurant would have booth seating where food can be cooked directly at each booth, a standing bar in front of an open kitchen where chefs can serve the customers directly, as well as a couple of VIP rooms for exclusive in-room cooking parties and function events. The restaurant was designed and constructed throughout the lockdown. It opened just as the city began to ease its restrictions. The client’s ethos was to ride out the contextual challenges, entice new customers and support the communities of farmers and producers.
Architect Raz Melamed, presenting an architectural mass of two asymmetrical blocks in size, color and shape. The white wall that surrounds the house creates a separation from the street through a niche isolated entrance that creates privacy for residents and visitors. Through the gate entrance, a game of colorful architecture is played out between the blocks of the building, with a gray foreground and white background. The division of masses is decorative as well as functional, including a seam-like staircase used to bring in natural light. The constructive pillars represent another architectural game, whose role is dual in both structural engineering and decoration – exposing the interior and exterior and form the basis of architectural and decorative language. Beside them are black painted horizontal rails which create a harmonious complex of material in opposite directions. The use of black aluminum continues the architect’s constructional vision: maintaining minimal colors and materials.
Located at the edge of a suburban shopping centre, Pizza Depot’s frontage addresses the adjacent car park with a bold new face. Reimagined by Benjamin Fretard of Fretard design, the re-design of the existing 70 square-metre retail shop front was envisioned to establish a presence in the area: to be immediately visible and distinctly recognizable.
Harrison Bainbridge Urgent Care is Bainbridge Island’s first 24/7 urgent care facility. It consists of 25,000 square feet of primary, urgent, and specialty medical care with laboratory and diagnostic services. Coates Design Architects was chosen to fulfill ambitious goals: patient-centered care that is both innovative in its approach as well as cost-effective. The client required a building that was environmentally-friendly, low-cost, and could be built quickly to allow for immediate patient care. All of these goals, and more, were met in the final design for this one-of-a-kind facility.
The hotel was built in this natural landscape, pure and independent in its all-white architecture. Because the building is located on a hillside, shen mo, the designer, takes measures according to local conditions, laying out a stepped walkway leading to a high place, where you need to pass through a “box” to enter the house, greet guests with a sense of ceremony, and ascend the steps to the destination.

This is a 2,500 square foot contemporary Farmhouse, located in the Texas Hill Country. This project entailed two parts; part one was the demolition and removal of the existing house, and replacing it with this new residence, and the second part was simply renovating the existing detached garage, to make it match the new home. The house sits on the high point of rolling acreage, and one of the keys to our design was to maximize the views in both the front and back of the house.
The house is located in a hilltop of the East Cape (Laguna Hills), 9km away from the nearest infrastructure network (San Jose del Cabo) in an off the grid community. The horizontal profile of the building along with the rammed earth walls, blends the house into the landscape, very discrete from the dirt road that comes along the sea.
The design of this detached bungalow in an upscale housing estate in central Singapore was derived from the shape of the triangular plot of land on which it sits. To deal with the challenges of a triangular plot, all the main living, family areas and bedrooms were first carved out as regular shaped rooms, with the main circulation staircase and open gardens left to the residual irregular spaces. In this way, the interior spaces do not suffer from unusable or awkward spaces, which is common for houses on irregular shaped plots.
