MAMURBABA HOUSE

The building is located in Cesme Izmir. In addition to the desired olive garden view potential, there are old and very close buildings in the northwest of the parcel, so The obligation to find a solution to the privacy problem caused by the existence of these buildings, constitutes a second criterion in the design decision.

April 19, 2024|Architecture, BIG SEE Architecture Award 2024 – Winner, France, Tourism buildings|

La Fantaisie establishes an intimate conversation with its urban environment. While the original structure has been preserved, the building has undergone extensive redevelopment, resulting in increased density.

House P

April 19, 2024|Architecture, BIG SEE Architecture Award 2024 – Winner, Italy, Residential – houses|

The property in the project was designed with a contemporary language, trying to revisit the concept of housing with a minimal language and simple, linear geometries. The villa, on the lot, is spread over one level. The flat roof is characterized by cantilevers that create a connecting element, a single ribbon, with partitions up to the garden level.

Mosque in Village Tupalla

April 19, 2024|Architecture, BIG SEE Architecture Award 2024 – Winner, Kosovo, Public, cultural buildings and infrastructure buildings|

The main design approach was to create a comfortable, functional, and spiritually uplifting space for the small Albanian Islamic community at minimal cost. This strategy led us to adopt a very modest approach, from the dimensions of the building to the choice of construction materials. Indeed, modesty aligns with the philosophical essence of Islam, with principles like sincerity, heartiness, and purity being manifested in the space through pure geometric forms

Bauhaus house

April 19, 2024|Architecture, BIG SEE Architecture Award 2024 – Winner, Israel, Residential – houses|

The Nature and Music Bauhaus-style house reflects the daily interests of a family deeply immersed in nature and music. Drawing inspiration from these passions, we encountered several challenges that ultimately shaped the uniqueness of the project.

This dichotomy presented us, Udi and

Malevich Park

April 19, 2024|Architecture, BIG SEE Architecture Award 2024 – Winner, Public / open space and landscape, Russia|

We began developing the park concept by analyzing the context and exploring the area's identity. We discovered a connection to the renowned avant-garde artist Kazimir Malevich, who drew inspiration from the local landscapes during his visits to the neighboring village. We proposed naming the park after Malevich to honor this connection, shaping the park's image around the tradition of suprematism. Our concept focuses on integrating nature and art, using basic

A house was designed for a family with a minimalist design and orthogonal architecture.
