The old mansion in Woluwe-Saint-Pierre had already been completely dismantled inside when JUMA architects were asked to renovate and expand it.
Actually, JUMA architects was already the second architect. The previous architect had dismantled the building and had already carried out many structural works. However, the client was not satisfied with the design and JUMA architects were asked to redraw the project. As a result, JUMA architects also had to carry out a lot of structural works first. With the exception of the foundations and the pool tub, the entire rear structure was demolished again.

The school group consists of fourteen classes, located on the edge of fields north of the village of Gidy, not far from Orleans. It meets the need to create places in nursery and primary education that has resulted from an increase in the local population.
This large building does not fall within the standards for urban architecture. Its village atmosphere is achieved by applying volumetric arrangements that make the building appear smaller than it is.
The rebuilding of a detached house in Kiekrz was aimed to connect separated rooms into one multifunctional open space. All of the rooms located on the ground floor were parted by too many walls and in result they were quite dark and nonfunctional. The kitchen was the only space fully used by the residents. As a result of implemented changes the corridor was combined with the big room and the kitchen was opened to both the big room and the dinning area; thus visually they create one open space. The very important factor underlying the makeover of the house was the permanent presence of animals (a dog of Dogue de Bordeaux breed and four cats) and the increase of their comfort. For the dog was organized a den by the wall, just in the place where it can observe the whole house and gives it a sense of security and intimacy. The ground floor was inlaid with granite tiles what enables to keep it clean at ease. In rooms devoid of animals the floor is wooden (ash) creating the atmosphere of cosiness and warmth. Furniture and the door woodwork were made of american chestnut wood. The detached house in Kiekrz received a new, more functional space able to address the needs of its residents as well as more modern aesthetic code.
The site is an old developed residential area on the outskirts of Nagakute, next to Nagoya. A slightly conservative impression of the client’s couple wanted a modern house with exposed concrete. That’s why I designed the interior using white oak to suit the couple. I dared to lengthen the distance from the entrance to the living room, and made a plan that strongly emphasized the story. The living room is wide open to the east and a white oak frame is set around it to design the scenery like a painting.
This is a house for a young couple who have just married. I (architect)am a childhood friend of wife and a member of husband’s lab in graduate school. I am very glad to design their house, and would like to make the house very comfortable for their new marriage life.
The site has narrow property, only 43 square meters. A convenient commute into the city was their top priority, the house is located at a quiet residential area in the center of Tokyo district Japan.The house volume is maximum size which is subjected to height restrictions by Japanese architectural regulation.
In Itaipava, our aim was to create a cozy and elegant environment, which should be mainly functional. We used natural materials such as local wood and simple materials like cement to contrast hard styles like the black metal and brass. The house should be easy to understand its spaces even though it has 550 square meters. The guests rooms are exactly the same so there is no distinction. The Master bedroom has a private balcony with closet and suite with bathtub.
The house is part of a terrace of 1970s neo-Georgian houses. Whilst the front facade of the house was designed in the Neo-Georgian style, the interior layout and design was generic 1970’s house builder.
Playful learning is at the heart of St. Andrew’s Scots School. For the bilingual IB school in Buenos Aires, Rosan Bosch Studio has created a holistic learning landscape that activates the school’s Scottish heritage and sets the framework for students’ growth and development.
Imbued with characteristic Scottish landmarks, the design creates a learning journey through the flat beaches of the lowlands to the rocky and untamed highlands. Set in Argentina, a lot of the imaginative designs have been customized specifically for the newly built campus.
Self-directed learning is thriving in the prototype learning landscapes at the Western Academy of Beijing. Rosan Bosch Studio has replaced the school’s traditional classrooms with an open community structure that enhance student agency and support project-based learning.
The designs present differentiated and variable spaces that support the school’s FLoW21 targets for team-teaching, flexible learning groups, mentorship and individualized timetables.
