S-House: located in one of the popular streets of the town with typical Indian neighborhood characterized by busy streets and proximity to other residences. The residence was conceptualized as an amalgamation of the serenity of the site and the client’s requirement of a simple and sumptuous house.
Modern single-family villa on 4 floors located in the beautiful coastal Spanish village Cambrils in Costa Dorada.
This project has been developed, designed and built by White Houses Costa Dorada’s team through a long and creative process in collaboration with the interior designer Susanna Cots, to obtain the perfect combination of modern architecture and comfortable living.
La Héronnière’s conceptual approach proposes an interpretation of the notion of recycling.
We offer a reflection on the importance of maintaining a theoretical issue in our practice, which seems undermined by the public’s sole interest today in the technical dimension: “sustainable development”.
Located in Porto Alegre, southern Brazil, this work constitutes a single-family residence on a plot of 779.19 square meters. An extensive lake located at the end of the terrain, the irregular plot design, the East-West longitudinal orientation and the need for a large protected social area were the issues that guided the resolutions of this project.
Situated on a sloping hillside with ocean views in a typical residential neighborhood, this project was an extensive renovation of an uninspired house that failed to take advantage of the obvious assets of the property: the views. Although no square footage was added, the interior spaces were completely reorganized, taking down interior walls and reorienting living spaces to open up to the incredible views of the Pacific Ocean. Living, dining, study and kitchen were combined into one common space that is framed by a 9’6” high and 40’ wide opening that pockets away completely, revealing uninterrupted views of the ocean. The master bedroom was also redesigned as a single set of flowing spaces. Bedroom, bath and closet have no doors separating them and of course are open to the ocean view. The simple material palette of concrete floors, stucco exterior, Rhinezink panels and walnut cabinets was another strategy to keep the architecture focused on the site and place.
A large residental compound, located in traditional city villas quarter Hanspaulka, is surrounded by a historical garden park, on a sloping terrain. The garden itself, together with panoramic views of Pragues skyline, are the main inspirations for the design concept. Its massing and apparently minimalist composition is formed by ingenious stacking of five blocks – storeys. The lowest one – entrace and parking level extending to the exterior granit covered yard is wholly cut into the terrain. The second storey is also partly submerged. It is the largest by floor area and forming masonry pedestal of the house.
This project was located in Hoian City, an ancient town in Vietnam. The house has an advantage of natural and cultural background because Hoian is famous for hundreds of years old houses along with diverse and unique flora and rivers. Therefore, we formed the idea to design this house based on the filtering and promoting the cultural and natural values of the locality. Specifically, the architectural form is transformed from the impression of native plants, and the architectural space is transformed from the native residential space. Besides that, we pay attention to the variation in the use of materials and in spatial design or morphology. All aimed at creating a unique and newness of the house, but it’s still adapting to the local climate, comfortable and familiar to indigenous living habits.
A concept house that celebrates and holistically engages the five human senses was on display from January 16 – 19, 2020 as this year’s feature exhibit at IDS Toronto by VFA Architecture + Design in creative collaboration with Hummingbird Hill Homes + Construction and Victoria Taylor Landscape Architect.
Drawing from ideas inherently examined within VFA’s existing repertoire of work, the exhibit entitled Reset Home, borrows from the most essential qualities of each project to bring together all the ideals of home design for an elevated user experience.

San Diego Garage Conversion is an integrated garage remodel of a large capacity garage where a couple wanted to live with a lot of flexibility. The space is configured depending on the needs of each moment. For this, several tools were built: mobile panels divide the bedroom into two spaces; a bed integrated into a bookcase converts the living room into a guest bedroom; a mobile island allows different configurations of the kitchen. To make all this possible, the center of the space houses the bathroom, the plumbing part of the kitchen and part of the storage areas. So, the rest of the space is open and configured with ease.
