Quinta do Rei
The villa is situated in an elevated area with a steep slope in the city of Leiria, Portugal. The conditions of the subdivision suggested a tower-like form, offering a viewpoint over the city. One of our premises was to position the social areas on the upper floors and place the swimming pool on the roof to fully enjoy the 360º view. The house transforms a regular cobblestone shape by
The Lakeside Villa
This villa is located at the far end of Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan. The design and volume of the villa were carefully determined to preserve the scenic views of the traditional village, using the public road that runs through the site. The villa is divided into four wings: the “main house” (living and dining rooms, bathroom), the “annex” (bedroom), the “SPA” wing (sauna, bedroom, lounge), and
House 44.86 VGC
The initial building was a concrete panel, mass-produced housing unit identical to its neighbors. Its façade featured three windows and a door at the front, with approximately eight windows distributed along the sides.

However, the property stood out due to the substantial surrounding land - approximately 1.500 square

AB10 house
The Los Jerónimos neighborhood, with its rich history and the presence of emblematic landmarks such as Retiro Park and the Jerónimos Church, suggests a strong connection to Madrid's history and culture. In this context, the architectural project Casa AB10, which aims to be a "Madrid house" in its layout, aligns with an approach that both respects and reflects the legacy of its surroundings while embracing modern design. The decision
Taipei Weather Station
The Taipei Weather Station design not only adapts to its environment but also observes and engages with it in continuous dialogue. Carefully designed movable fins are activated by wind currents, and rain can be observed threading through their undulating surfaces, with the Corten material expressing environmental forces. Through these extruded surfaces, a waning sun creates a dance of filtered light and shadow across the building while simultaneously providing scientists

Two distinct volumes, containing bedrooms of varying heights, span over a reconfigured open ground floor plan. Varying spatial conditions are created by the shifting section formed by the new upper volumes and a central gap, or "well". The well is open at both ends, with windows facing east and west.
