FRAU* schafft Raum – WOMAN* creates space
In the heart of Vienna, a small tobacco shop - once a beloved neighborhood meeting point - has been transformed into a powerful monument against violence toward women. The design tells a layered story. Socially, it sparks dialogue on women’s rights. Historically, it preserves the original façade. Symbolically, the scarred plasterwork lays bare the brutality of the crime. Technically, the contrast between the weight of 19th-century masonry and the
Zubau in Holz
Our project "Zubau in Holz" merges modern, sustainable construction with a natural aesthetic. This contemporary extension seamlessly complements the existing traditional multi-family home, creating additional living space that includes two comfortable bedrooms. Built using timber frame construction and clad in wooden shingles, the design strikes a balance between timeless elegance and ecological responsibility. An extensively greened flat roof not only supports natural climate regulation but also stands as a
Vila Baba
Villa Baba offers monumental views and precise detailing across its three floors, including an underground level. At first glance, the expansive sun terrace reflects the functionalist and nautical aesthetics of the surrounding architecture, further enhanced by a "captain's bridge" with a distinctive round porthole on the street façade. Generous glazing throughout the living areas and bedrooms maximizes natural light, while a continuous corridor enhances the openness of the interior
Casa Lagos Laval
The house began as a renovation of an old dwelling with little architectural value, located in a residential neighborhood in the northern part of Santiago. It was designed for a young couple of artists and their two children. Only the first floor was preserved, with strategic walls demolished to expand spaces and reconfigure the layout. During the partial demolition, a very poor structural foundation was revealed, and for safety
New kindergarten buidling in St. Bartholomä
The new, fully accessible kindergarten building in St. Bartholomä, Austria, emphasizes sustainability. This is reflected in the use of natural materials such as wood cladding, a PV system on the roof, and a green roof covering the rest of the building. The two-storey structure adapts to the sloping terrain and blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Floor-to-ceiling glass façades provide children with unobstructed views of the centre of St.
Varna Bus-Station

The high permeability of these boulevards ensures quick and direct access from all residential areas, as well as excellent connections to the airport and railway station. The station features 12 sectors for arriving and departing buses, along with 35 parking spaces for
Gotthardska Residence
The Gotthardská Residence is a four-story apartment building near Prague’s Stromovka Royal Park, combining classical elements that reflect the local genius loci with the language of contemporary architecture. Built on the site of a former office building, it follows a three-winged floor plan that wraps around a central courtyard. The design contrasts a dynamic, almost openwork street façade - with irregular window jambs - with the smooth, yet variable,
Tiny secret house
The small hidden house on the island of Vis, in Komiža, is a unique architectural solution that combines maximum space utilization with architectural romance. Renovated from an old donkey stable, this 16-square-meter house spans three levels, transforming a forgotten space into a functional home. The ground floor is most often used as a “quick” living room or an indoor retreat from the summer heat. The first floor serves as

National Széchenyi Library Archive
In 2017, the government issued a decision to establish the National Széchenyi Library's new building, the Archive Warehouse. In line with recommendations from the European Union, this national collection consists of a hermetically sealed warehouse that serves as a cultural treasury, preserving a single copy of every book printed from the 19th century to the present day (the "iron copy"). These copies can never be removed or borrowed -

The Hungarian Ecumenical Interchurch Aid Organization, which supports those in need regardless of nationality, religion, or ideology, aimed to create an inspiring educational environment for young people preparing to choose a career by establishing this school.

Bosch Campus2 Budapest and pedestrian bridge
The Robert BOSCH company planned to expand its existing research base in Budapest with the establishment of a Campus2 development. The growth of Bosch in Budapest required the creation of new jobs that could no longer be accommodated in the previous Campus1 area. In 2016, the Campus2 area was purchased for this purpose, located in the immediate vicinity of the existing Campus1. The development is situated in the X.
