No-Wall Apartment by RDTH architekti questions one of the most familiar assumptions in residential design: that domestic life needs fixed rooms to function properly. The project removes almost all fixed partitions from the apartment, keeping only the installation shaft, skylight, and a door for the toilet. From that starting point, the architects develop an interior […] More

In Leslieville, Toronto’s east end, Dollhouse Loft revisits a former toy and bottling factory with a strategy grounded in spatial recalibration. The early 1900s industrial building, converted into live-work lofts in the early 2000s, carried generous volume but dated finishes and fragmented interior logic. StudioAC approached the renewal as both spatial refinement and structural clarification, […] More
In a Park is a residential renovation by L Architects that begins with a quiet but pointed observation. Designed for a horticulturist client in northeast Singapore, the project responds to a simple realization voiced early in the design process: despite a deep love for plants, the client did not “wake up to them.” The existing […] More

Rather than treating this condition as a […] More
