Villa Cardo is a 3 bedroom house designed by Studio Andrew Trotter, who designed Masseria Moroseta.
Like the masseria, Villa Cardo has been built with local materials and using traditional methods of building, to ensure the Pugliese vernacular shines through, keeping the building light, airy and cool in the summer.
The house is within one hectare of land, filled with olive and almond tress, and with views to the sea from the roof terrace.
This duplex villa is situated on a 600-m2 land plot adjacent to the Hoi An River in Quang Nam Province, Vietnam. The surrounding context is still wild and under-developed, with lots of nipas being the signature tree of the area.
The challenge of this project is to effectively exploit the surrounding landscape and inject soul into the project via the use of local materials. Moreover, the project has to be able to endure the harsh climate in Hoi An, with a long rainy season and a very cold winter. Even worse, this location witnesses frequent storms and floods every year.

Blessed with extraordinary ecological environment, it becomes popular among people who hope to find another residence around Shanghai.
Residence Villa Drei Birken is located on a hillside at the end of a residential area in the Dolomites. The Villa, built in 1960 and renovated in the 80’s, originally consisted of a simple and low volume with owner’s apartment and four holiday flats. The new extension adds six holiday apartments as well as functional and common spaces. The facade opens through a V-shaped surface from the mostly closed North facade to the completely glazed South facade, facing the sun and the panoramic view of the Dolomites.
This historic villa from the interwar period is located in Wrocław, in the district which is under conservation protection.

At the summit of Bellevue Hill a centennial Peppertree rises over the skyline; two homes lie beneath its vast canopy. To one side of the fence, The Oculus House and to the other, Peppertree Villa, a skilfully designed late 1920s home.
One day the owners of the two homes met under this tree; they discussed botany and architecture. This was how Luigi Rosselli Architects came to be selected to respectfully revive and refresh this beautifully designed residence.
The Villa Torlonia in San Mauro Pascoli, near the towns of Rimini and Cesena, Italy, is one of the most important cultural heritage sites of the Rubicone river valley for its architectural and historical significance. Defined as a “monumental complex”, its many buildings, built throughout history, have come to have a peculiar artistic, historical and ethno-anthropological relevance.
Once a perfect rural factory with warehouses, production rooms, work environments and residences, current circumstances have determined its inevitable changing in function converting the complex into a suggestive venue for cultural events.
Villa Amiri is located in a residential area just outside Mölndal city center. The suburb, which has emerged from principles described in a zoning plan from 1950, is diverse with very varied facades and house shapes. The abstract for the project has been to make the house a simple saddle roof geometry with facades and roof in one material (black tarred wood) as a neutral background to the diverse surroundings..
In its lifetime, Villa Cinquecento has been through the hands of three different owners and went through many visions of transformation by various architects – a situation which is difficult to handle on its own when tackling a new design challenge. Therefore, when Napur Architects were tasked to redesign the multi-residential building, it was inevitable throughout the whole process that the participating architects and the new customers would need to collaborate through open, transparent communication to achieve a high-quality result.
