Haus im Obstgarten, Graz
The starting point was a plot of land sloping to the east with a beautiful population of apple trees. The clients wanted a cost-effective residential building organized on one level with a maximum of 115m² of living space.

Chapel of Resurrection, Poprad
The concept of the chapel is based on a metaphor of the finite world and an endless divine space linked together only by light. Everybody can decide to follow it or not. The architectural materialisation resulted in small intimate space divided from nature by massive wooden walls without windows. A window is a clear statement where the light comes from. We positioned more than 100 wooden columns. They are
Manifattura Berluti, Ferrara
South of Ferrara, on the fertile and meticulously manicured plain of the Po River in Italy, amidst orchards, stands the new Berluti manufacture of luxury shoemaking.

Wood Court Restaurant, Cesate
The architectural space of the restaurant is made up of unexpected diagonals that forcefully split the shell, opening its most intimate part – a central concave space exposed to the south – to nature, with the wood insinuating itself into the building. And the building, symbiotically, becomes an enveloping form that protects nature and draws the visitor’s eye to connect with it, where the wooden deck becomes the stage
