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.

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.

Jevany Villa sits within a dense spruce forest, where the terrain drops from the access road toward a landscape of ponds and mature trees. The project builds its logic directly from this condition.

HOUSING The design begins […] More
