Montoliu Hernandez reworks a 1920 apartment in Valencia’s Eixample district, addressing a plan that had grown dense and fragmented over time. Earlier renovations removed original elements, including hydraulic tile floors, yet the underlying structure remained intact. The layout relied on narrow rooms and deep partitions that limited light and ventilation. The project begins with a […] More
EK Design approaches Bay Park Center Private Club through a clear conceptual framework titled “The Growing Garden.” The project, located in Shenzhen and spanning 600 square meters, treats space as a living system rather than a fixed composition. Architecture, light, and planting work together to create an environment that evolves through movement, perception, and daily […] More
De Piek rises at the tip of Feijenoord Island with a clear role in reshaping Rotterdam-Zuid.

Ponto C Cultura e Criatividade enters Penafiel with a clear urban intention. The project introduces a new connection to the southern part of the city and redefines how the area relates to its historic center. For years, the site carried the idea of a city divided.

Karlen + Clemente position Summit House within the steep terrain of Villa General Belgrano, allowing the project to grow directly from the hillside rather than impose itself onto it. The architects define the house through a sequence of horizontal volumes that step along the slope, aligning with the natural topography. This decision reduces the visual […] More

This premise informs every decision, […] More
Paulo Martins Arquitectura e Design presents Beira Mar II, a compact house set within the dense fabric of Aveiro’s Beira Mar district. The project begins with constraint. Streets shift, plots compress, and the site resists regular geometry. The design accepts this condition without correction. It builds from it, using the irregular plot as the starting […] More

Set on a secluded peninsula along a motorboat-free lake in Muskoka, the project responds directly to the rhythms of the site and the habits of its owners, who spent a year camping on the land before building. The result […] More

The project works within a layout typical of Westmount homes, where the staircase and the sequence of living room, dining room, and kitchen define the structure of daily life. Instead of reworking the plan, the design sharpens its logic, […] More
