2Square
2Square incorporates a harmonious balance between architectural inventiveness and practical design. It’s located on a central thoroughfare of Kefalonia island. The initial design serves the commercial use of the building, aiming to attract attention from its two dominant sides, the east and the south while maintaining the aesthetics and functionality required for successful operation. The composition of the volume arises from two square shapes that twist along the vertical
Residence in Zachlorou
This old building was the summer residence of a family whose father worked on the railway line passing through the village. The restoration of the residence is a tribute to the father. The design had "memory" as the main axis. When we undertook the project, on the site there was the shell of the stone building from the beginning of the 20th century and the concrete frame of the extension

Zela House
Zela House, located in the northeast part of Tirana near the main urban routes, is situated in an area filled with houses built during the era of democracy. The chaotic nature of the surroundings greatly influenced the design of the house, leading us to create a pure volume that serves as a catalyst for new architecture. Volumes are shifted relative to each other to maximize available space. Large openings are
Deutsche Schule Belgrad Kindergarten and Preschool
The villa in Senjak, built in 1956, was reconstructed with an extension to accommodate a kindergarten. The new and old parts of the building differ in exterior design. The facade of the existing villa on the ground floor is made in sandstone style, while the first floor has a white plaster finish, and the facade of the extension is made of terracotta-colored fiber cement panels. This has softened the
VMV Residence
The multifamily residential building VMV Residence is located in a well-organized and developed residential quarter in the city of Sofia - "Dianabad". The architectural design of the building is dictated by the functional needs of each individual apartment. A terraced model has been chosen for the building, making each floor unique.

New Faculty of Psychology and Speech Therapy in Malaga
The idea of a great architectural tree or forest in which to teach, learn, and form oneself among its branches, among courtyards, like clearings in the forest. A teaching building that accompanies the street to invite pedestrians to enter from the public realm into the most distinctive aspect of the teaching function. The elevated ceramic body is connected to the ground through the spatial strategy of a modular series
Briežky Family Houses
The complex zone of family houses between the forest and vineyards was created as a result of a spatial exercise. The client’s basic requirement was to design a group of family houses maximizing usage of a sloping plot above the city. Dividing the plot by the road with entrances in two zones and then spreading the houses into a fan shape created the desired result. The houses do not

The Fold
We started to design The Fold having in mind a detachment of the building from the ground, in such a transparent way, that it seems to float over the slope. The accentuated angles of the plot have become the directing lines of the building, having thus two different approaches, one facing the garden and one more urban and transparent facing the street. The context directed us to also have
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
