House of Quartz

April 2, 2025|Architecture, BIG SEE Architecture Award 2025 - Winner, Japan, Residential – housing|

The House of Quartz is a crystallized manifestation of living energy in architectural form. It absorbs, reflects, and amplifies the phenomena of life at any given moment, channeling the enhancement of their vivid frequencies. Solid and porous at the same time, the structure acts like a skeletal framework, supporting and nourishing all forms of life. In other words, the building considers all of its spaces to be anti-gravity, disrupting

Adaptation of the hall of Technical Faculty, University of Montenegro

April 2, 2025|Architecture, BIG SEE Architecture Award 2025 - Winner, Educational buildings, Montenegro|

The building of the Technical Faculty in Podgorica was constructed in 1975. It is one of the key examples of Montenegrin architectural heritage. The sensitive context required a careful intervention in the interior of the large, scattered "shell". Different floor heights, irregular volumes, and a fluid space with a lack of internal cohesion inspired the adaptation and transformation of the entire structure. The goal was to create a unified and

A pavilion-like structure on the northeastern edge provides a spatial closure while serving as a multifunctional shelter, waiting area, and stage. The square is framed by local deciduous trees, offering

In the south of Munich, on the shores of the picturesque Lake Tegernsee and surrounded by mountains, a new building emerges from the treetops.
