Inspired by a global ethos of comfort, safety, and peace, our design integrates multiple terraces, allowing nature to flourish within the home. the idea is to reclaim nature and the land that is usually found in the backyard of the typical house in south east Asia where families typically spend their time and move it to the rooftop of each house. The rooftop’s open space offers residents the chance to participate in outdoor activities while taking in the view.
The “Parental house” project is the house of the parents of a family that has lived there for many years with three children and now welcomes their children, bride, sons-in-law and grandchildren. According to the family’s growth and the passing of a lifetime on the house, it was decided to design a house in the same place that was suitable for their new lifestyle and story.
This is probably the fastest project of the team when it comes to ideas, from the day we met Trang and her husband and heard Trang share her wishes for the shop. The whole team sat together and suddenly thought about Hue lanterns. So everything began.
The site faces a greenbelt across the road with a 2-meter difference in elevation within it. We wanted to design a residence that would utilize this greenbelt as a backdrop and maintain continuity with the hilly streetscape.
Located in the heart of Kochi in Kerala, India – TAPAS is a private apartment building that offers a tranquil retreat from urban life. The name “TAPAS” comes from the Sanskrit word तपस्, which refers to a variety of austere spiritual practices, emphasizing self-discipline, reflection, and mindfulness. This concept serves as the foundation of the project, where the architecture fosters a serene environment that encourages residents to embrace a slower, more mindful way of living. Nestled between its natural surroundings and the built form, TAPAS harmoniously blends simplicity, nature, and craftsmanship. The building comprises six apartments spread across G+3 floors and a co-working space on the ground floor.
Situated on the outskirts of Ueda in Nagano prefecture, this traditional wooden house was bought by the clients as a weekend house as well as a future retirement house. At first, the existing building was of no interest as the clients wanted to dismantle it and build a new house on the plot. However, after a first site visit, we began questioning this strategy as we discovered an interesting dwelling that was displaying a well-made traditional craftsmanship.
This is the architect’s own home, a second dwelling on a large steeply sloping site. A contemporary and functional family dwelling, tuned to the site’s unique requirements, one that is thermally high performing, warm, well ventilated and that uses minimal energy.
The plan is to renovate an old private house on Fukue Island in the Goto Islands, Nagasaki Prefecture, into a guest house and private residence. The Abunze Coast stretches out in front of the house, and we wanted to be able to see this scenery from the rooms. So, we installed windows facing the sea in each room, and the living room window is a long, dynamic window that responds to the horizon.
Disorder/Order – Scattered/Arranged – Unorganized/Organized – Not seeing/Seeing – Unseen/Seen – Shade/Light – Closed/Open – Shell/Space. These opposing concepts were central to the design challenges faced by the Sarv administrative building project. Initially referred to the design team in June 2017 for façade approval, the building posed unique architectural problems. It was a partially constructed structure with 100% plot coverage, limiting the potential for natural light and ventilation to just one side—the southern façade. This constraint heavily influenced the design team’s approach, as they sought to balance functional requirements with aesthetic and spatial considerations.
This association came in the form of a collaboration with the region’s Panchayat. As is the Government’s convention, a budget of 2.5 crores was allotted for the construction of an auditorium in Adisaptagram for private and public events. Planned to be built in the typical format of a Government convention hall, the local councilor was insistent that they could do better than a cookie-cutter ‘decorative’ facade and really add functional and aesthetic value with a contemporary approach.
