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

Designed by Luigi Rosselli Architects, the project replaces a single dwelling with ten apartments, positioning itself as a response to increasing pressure on urban housing while maintaining a […] More
A protected garden rarely becomes the starting point of an architectural project in Paris. At 19 ADN, it does. The site contains a Japanese garden listed under local planning regulations, setting strict limits while opening a precise direction for development. DTACC Architectes treat this constraint as a generator, allowing the project to grow from the […] More
The site carries a clear memory. A previous cabin once stood here, before fire reduced it to a stone plinth. Mimosa Architects approach the project by accepting that condition rather than replacing it. The remaining base becomes the starting point for the new structure, anchoring it physically above the river while setting a measured distance […] More

PERLA, a residential project by STIPFOLD, sits on a hillside in Marbella and approaches architecture through the idea of motion held in suspension. 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
