MP Offices & Apartments
One of Cluj-Napoca's most important and frequently used streets, Calea Turzii, serves as a thoroughfare connecting the city's north and south. We began our design process at the narrow-angled south-facing intersection, capturing the dynamic urban vibe and the sharpness of the surrounding context. Our aim was to blend these elements into a sculptural shape, fostering a dialogue between the building and the city while also considering how to integrate with
Leather goods workshop in France
The stated ambition is to radically renew the design of Louis Vuitton's leather goods workshops. This involves achieving a new standard of 6000 m2. The project is based on a dual proposition: "workshop in the countryside" and "designed from the assembly line". The production assembly line constitutes the unit of measurement of the workshop, approximately 100 m2. It represents both the human scale of a team of leatherworkers and the
Maletira – slow living retreat

Our common goal was to create a contemporary residential building that is functionally expressive, unique in its appearance, and contemporary in its atmosphere, yet blends sensitively with its surroundings. The service areas and parking spaces are located in the
Marathokosmos – Transformation of primary school in a kindergarten of Marathasa

Pride Rock
The Pride Rock Villa Project focused on the creation of a high-end housing unit, using modern elements, that would be organically incorporated into the Cycladic landscape. The characteristic features of the plot, as well as the unique and generous views around it, landed in the main architectural composition of the plan. The two main slopes unfolded in 2 directions, towards Kalo Livadi and Kalafatis. This critical element projected the

Trâu Quỳ house
The development of the urban landscape in Hanoi has given rise to the "tube house" model, constructed on narrow and elongated plots ranging from 40 to 80 m2. These plots are typically subdivided from larger parcels, often for trade or inheritance purposes. The construction of 3-4-storey houses with concrete frame structures and brick walls first emerged in Hanoi in the 2000s. This construction method quickly proliferated, largely through shared worker
