ARCHITECTURE
Polo educativo inclusivo
The collaboration between the University of Parma (UNIPR) and the AGS Foundation to accomplish something that each could have done independently is the central theme manifested in the architectural design of the project. The pedagogical concept underlying the functional program is highly innovative, fostering integration between a public and a private school, educational continuity with the university center, and inclusiveness and transversality of knowledge. The project involves two separate buildings:
Darwin 1111
Architecture is not merely about inventing forms. It's the true battleground of the spirit, shaping history and defining eras. Architecture is intrinsically linked to its time, reflecting the essence of its age through its structure and form. This is why technology and architecture are intertwined; they must evolve together to truly represent our era. When we were tasked with designing a residential building with parking and a gastronomy space at
MBM 23
The multi-family residential building, in Pancevo, was designed in a micro-ambiance with pronounced local character and tradition, which meant careful analysis of the elements and understanding of the existing layers of that environment. Decoding the context, i.e. establishing a dialogue and finding harmony between contemporary architecture and the architecture of previous eras, and the interpretation of traditional elements and materials, in the spirit of contemporary expression, was the premise
Luton Direct Air-Rail Transit (DART)
Our task was to evaluate how Luton Airport could better serve passenger needs in a more cohesive manner and plan for the future. While our initial brief called for air-conditioned stations, we challenged this and proposed naturally ventilated stations, featuring parasol structures that support the roof and allow light and air to permeate both stations. The Luton DART (Direct Air-Rail Transit) is a groundbreaking fully-automated people mover, intended to shuttle
Apartment Building in Koropi
The project involves the creation of a four-story residential building with communal spaces, a basement, and parking areas, situated on an asymmetrical plot of 1.042 m2. The primary challenge of the design was to integrate the architectural ensemble in a way that embraces the random geometry of the plot. Due to the site’s narrow frontage and considerable depth, most facades would either be in contact with adjacent properties or face
Bicubic Residence
Bicubic Residence is situated in Athens' western suburban area, nestled on a relatively tranquil crossroad within a strictly residential neighborhood, boasting mild traffic. Comprising two primary volumes, it amalgamates into a unified structure, connected by the staircase volume, facilitating the transition between the living room and bedroom areas of each residence. Two main curved bearing walls elevate the structure above ground level, while also extending a welcoming gesture to visitors,
Iron Creek Bay Farm Stay

The vision is to create a harmonious blend of farm stay accommodations and a farm store / restaurant, fostering synergies within the property. Built upon a robust foundation, the project aims to expand agricultural offerings, diversifying products to meet local and regional
Cultural Service Center and Local Workshops of Ruyi Village, Shuikou Town, Yao Autonomous County of Jianghua
Located in southwestern China, Jianghua is home to the Yao people, who are mostly settled in the forests as the area is surrounded by mountains. However, with the necessity to develop and restore the woodlands, Yao people have slowly started to relocate to areas with relatively gentle terrain. Aiming to further improve the livelihood of the villagers and to stimulate the development of the local economy, the government led
Zuma Mykonos
With its roots in Japanese cuisine and culture, Zuma Mykonos redefines the return to the primitive, the core of existence. Thus, the restaurant seems to emerge from the four fundamental elements of existence: earth, water, air, and fire. The plot is an old quarry, a scar on the landscape for many years since the port of Mykonos was built. The back of the plot is a 15-meter cliff with majestic
Portgate Tower
"Portgate" is a striking commercial building that redefines architectural norms, designed to stand as a landmark at the town’s core. Serving as the premier structure welcoming harbor visitors, it symbolizes the city’s gateway, drawing inspiration from the sea and its waves. Its fluid shapes and spacious balconies offer uninterrupted views of the sea, while the rear side features an airy undulating pattern, evoking the movement of the Mediterranean sea. Adorned

A gym and multi-purpose auditorium emerge from the basement, along with the entrance to the crèche, forming the base of the building. The crèche and childcare facilities are located on the three floors above. The building's imposing brick facade on Boulevard St-Georges positions it on a boulevard scale. The focal point is a table, a large concrete slab resting on slats around the perimeter. Picture windows between the legs provide
Isla Brown Cania
The hotel is situated on the Akrotiri peninsula, 14km from Chania city center and 10km from the airport, near the renowned village and beach of Stavros. Most of Akrotiri's beaches are shielded from the strong north winds of summer and are conveniently located a short distance from the city, such as Marathi and Kalathas beach.
