Villa M by Tunicate approaches reconstruction through continuity, precision, and restraint. The project reworks a Functionalist villa built in 1937–1938 by architects Arnošt Mühlstein and Victor Fürth, giving the damaged residence a new domestic life while keeping its architectural identity intact.

The Houses of Guadalajara: Ghosts of Modernity / Ghosts of the Past by Jesús Vassallo and Jorge Alberto Muñoz positions the domestic interior as a site of continuity and reinvention.

The remaining base becomes the starting point for the new structure, anchoring it physically above the river while setting a measured distance […] More

It drives every spatial decision, turning the house […] More

The client acquired a project already under submission, which restricted formal changes and limited structural intervention. Within these conditions, STIPFOLD directed the work toward a conceptual transformation. RESIDENTIAL The exterior defines this […] More
Set in the Ora Mountains, the project by No Architects confronts a landscape shaped by absence. Once inhabited almost exclusively by German-speaking communities, the region emptied after 1945, leaving behind a scattered terrain of abandoned villages and isolated structures. The intervention takes one such surviving building as its starting point, treating it not as a […] More
