The large Windows at the ground floor level incoroporate sliding doors that open onto the pool side terrace and fill the living and dining space with natural light.
High on the sloping grounds the new building fills a gap in an existing hillside development with views over the city of Tübingen.
The spatial arrangement for the five-member young family with cat and dog is divided into three levels. Serving rooms with a studio on a slope, individual rooms for parents and children on the upper floor and the garden level with its spacious communal living area.
This house for a family with two children is located in a quiet residential street on the western edge of Reutlingen.

Large terraces capture the wind and waves on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Set amongst idyllic white sand beaches and coconut groves, this low-key beach home was conceived to give its inhabitants not only a visual but also a literal connection to the sand and water where it belongs.
Horizontal roof planes create large indoor-outdoor spaces that integrate seamlessly and diffuse the perception of the home with its surrounding natural environment. Lightness and materiality are used to create a feeling of openness and airiness that permeates through the inhabitants.
The neighborhood in Tuzla where the summer houses were located in the past is now being reshaped with housing estates made up of single family houses and low buildings after the intense urbanization in the region.
The land for this project constituted an independent city block at first together with the two parcels neighboring it. The land was located on an almost flat topography. The three single family houses requested was planned according to the requests of the three siblings who are the land owners and designed with the features of Old Turkish Architecture.
New construction of a villa which reinterprets the English country home with a modern and more Nordic expression.

The KalkanAltes Villas are made up of six unique units that are located on a distinctive hillside with an impressive Mediterranean sea view in the Ortaalan district of Kalkan, Turkey. The natural beauty and the distinct texture of the site were the main sources of inspiration during the design process. With a pure and simple architectural language, the villas are aimed to effortlessly integrate three dimensionally with the topography of the site and are positioned so as not to obstruct the sea view of the other.
The site is situated in a 40-acre coffee estate in Chikkamagalur at the foothills of Mullahangiri Hills, overlooking the valley beyond and the town on Chikmagalur. With a mesmerizing natural backdrop for each built form, the development comprises of a Clubhouse, Single Villas, Twin Villas, a Spa, a restaurant and a Tree house plus other ancillary facilities.
The project deals with the idea of blurring the boundaries between inside and outside, such that the building becomes one with nature. The challenge in this project was to insert built forms into the existing landscape and blurring the edge seamlessly like a graft. The landscape is treated as a visual and tactile element. The built form responds to both the immediate site context as well as to that of the hill station. The surfaces of the buildings are rendered with earthy and rustic materials to accentuate their contemporary forms. Local materials available on site are extensively used to not only help the architecture blend with the context, but also make the project sustainable.
