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
Dubai’s skyline continues to expand, yet few projects attempt to recalibrate how a high-rise operates within climate, infrastructure, and daily life. Wasl Tower, designed by UNStudio in collaboration with Werner Sobek, positions itself within that conversation. Completed in 2025, the 302-metre structure sits along Sheikh Zayed Road, directly engaging the density and speed of its […] More
The Veil introduces a large residential program into the forested coastline of Dhërmi, where development has remained limited due to steep terrain and dense vegetation. Bofill Taller de Arquitectura approaches the site with a distributed strategy that avoids concentration. Instead of consolidating volume, the project disperses 366 apartments and 77 villas across two plots, organizing […] 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
Set along one of the most defined streets in Leça da Palmeira, the multifamily housing building on Rua Hintze Ribeiro by Helder da Rocha Arquitectos takes shape within a context of low-rise typologies and a public realm structured by vegetation and local commerce. The street maintains a steady rhythm of everyday activity, supported by small […] More
De Piek rises at the tip of Feijenoord Island with a clear role in reshaping Rotterdam-Zuid. KCAP positions the 74-metre tower as the first step in a broader transformation of the former industrial waterfront. The project replaces an overlooked edge with a defined urban presence, introducing residential life where shipyards and factories once dominated. Its […] More
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. This intervention shifts that perception by creating a continuous […] More
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
Brach Madrid positions itself as an interior-led architectural project rather than a conventional hotel. Philippe Starck approaches the space with a clear structural logic, building a sequence of environments that rely on proportion, material, and density. The project does not depend on grand gestures or monumental interventions. Instead, it constructs atmosphere through accumulation, layering surfaces, […] More
Kuba & Pilař architekti approach Zdar Wooden Housing through a clear urban framework that reintroduces the logic of the traditional city block into a contemporary residential setting. Positioned within the Klafar area, the project establishes a defined spatial hierarchy, moving from public streets to semi-private courtyards and into private front gardens. The block anchors the […] More
K ARCHITECTURES introduces a new equestrian performance hall within the historic grounds of the Hennebont National Stud Farm, positioning the project directly inside the Cour du Puits. The building rises seventeen meters above the courtyard, establishing a strong vertical presence that reshapes the existing skyline while maintaining a clear relationship with the surrounding Napoleonic stables.
