Teahouse at Taifong Golf Club / Álvaro Siza Vieira + Carlos Castanheira
We don’t need to play golf to design the buildings that are required where it is played.
Silvestre House / Conrado Ceravolo Arquitetos
In the interior of São Paulo, the project named Casa Silvestre has become the summer residence of a family consisting of a couple and two daughters. The team at Conrado Ceravalo’s office chose to position the house at the front of the plot to capture the morning natural light and create a welcoming atmosphere. At the same time, they blocked the afternoon sun, which is quite intense.
The Blue Door House / Rafael Pinoti Arquitetura
The blue door, with its vibrant hue, symbolizes hope and transformation. This choice is not merely aesthetic; it alludes to the idea of new beginnings and welcome, an invitation to what is good. With that in mind, we present the renovation proposal for a house with an exposed brick structure, where we aim to modernize the space while preserving its original features. The intervention was minimal, respecting the identity of the building. We opted for white paint, which brightened the space and highlighted the texture of the bricks, giving it a contemporary touch.
Estrela Apartment, Lisbon / Filipe Fonseca Costa
At the back of the backyard of a typical late 19th century caged building located near the Estrela Basilica, there is a chalet nestled between the backyard and the canopies of a neighboring garden. The time and construction system are the same as the building that serves as an entrance, but not the scale. The cottage could have been the back annexe, but instead it had become the hidden gem within the tree-lined block.
Dongqian Lake Club Houses / Álvaro Siza Vieira + Carlos Castanheira
In a land far, far away, live five sisters.
They are all alike, and they are all different.
They are all beautiful, some more, some less.
One is more edgy and another is more calm.
One other is elegant and another yet more so. It depends.
They are all unalike, but also similar.
Patios House / studio mk27
Those who come from the sea hardly notice the volume of the Patios House at the foot of a verdant mountain. The thin slab that divides the green from the sand shelters an almost invisible house, dissolved in the landscape.
Cesariny Exhibition / fala
Within an overly formalistic room, two informal surfaces: a wall and a table. Side by side, in relation and provocation, Cesariny’s and his friends’ art.
098 Building / fala
Almost pure interior, the space is an elaborate composition of fearless geometries. Three fluid walls are framed between a dotted marble floor and a white wavy ceiling.
Flag House / studio mk27
The main challenge of this project was to create a strong connection between internal and external spaces, typical of studio mk27 project in tropical climate, but in this case, in Whistler, a ski station in Canada where winters are harsh.
