The house is inserted in the terrain taking advantage of the panoramic views and topography.
A perpendicular slope towards the sights and the main volume define two levels which are linked by a single vertical element, the black edged stone chimney that goes through both floors.
Access at the top level leads to major facilities: living, dining, kitchen areas and master bedroom, accompanied with two wind protected terraces and a balcony running across all its length, defined by the recessed glass windows in its west view.
The lower level contains five bedrooms and a family room.
The immediate surroundings and the panoramic views towards the ocean’s horizon, determine the main building programme to open its body parallel to this gifted sight, while all circulations take place around the building’s forest sides.
The said situation defines two distinctly different sides; it comes forward with a fully glazed facade that opens entirely to the sea views, when the back entrance is defined with a sealed facade, worked out with timber sleepers interspersed with glass, giving partial views of the woods.

Where the land meets the sea the blue expanse of ocean and sky is a magnet for humanity, the Blue Planet Dwellers; this home, created for a family reaching maturity, with adult children and parents deeply passionate about good design, expressed through their creation and manufacture of accessories for daily life, aimed to remove barriers to that irresistible attraction. They craved the ability to live their lives intimately connected to the nearby Bronte Beach and the Pacific Ocean horizon beyond; to watch the morning sun rise from its depths and be immersed in the conditions of the surf and sea breezes rising from the water.
Traditionally in Europe it was quite common for the living spaces of a home to be positioned on the upper levels, with space for livestock and storage at ground level, however in Australia is engrained the lifestyle to place the ‘living areas’ at garden level. Our family though were keen to turn their world upside down and position their living spaces on the upper level to capture the breezes and enhance their views with that ocean connection, and detach themselves from the busy streets of the beachside neighbourhood below.
Our client’s main aspiration was to achieve a very natural lifestyle, and so we created a design for them that sought to reflect this aspiration, with large openable windows to catch the breezes, skylights and shuttered openings to control the access to natural sunlight, rammed earth walls providing thermal mass and the cooling effect of the hydroscopic qualities of clay, and a roof garden to elevate the landscaping enhance the access to green space. The materials were selected to promote the authenticity and ‘above board’ genetics of this home: rammed earth, timber, zinc and iron were treated in a ‘matter of fact’ way. The rammed earths used were carefully dosed to provide a ‘sun-blushed’ epidermis.
Though the project embraces the natural, Luigi Rosselli Architects have not refrained from using these materials in a cultured and referential way, their history is revealed in all the design choices. The Carl Scarpa inspired stone mosaic floor (Venetian influence), the arched master bedroom door (byzantine or oriental), the traditional ironwork balustrades (medieval) and the latticework of the shutters (drawing on lace making as inspiration). The architecture embraces the fluidity of forms that enhance the function and aims of the design.
To the exterior the recessed front entry is framed by projections to each side, the balcony shape to the first floor reaches eagerly towards the ocean views, while the strong vertical form of the rammed earth chimney to its opposite side anchors down the whole structure.
One of the greatest experiences an Architect is gifted is to work with skilled trades who are able to interpret and execute their designs with an additional zest. In the realisation of the project the contractors who lent their skill to the tiling, the set plaster, the ironwork, the joinery, the roofing and the rammed earth are all worth naming and praising for their unique contributions with, or course, particularly merit given to the Builder who directed them.

The Middle East has undergone many changes in recent decades. In the last two decades in Iran, sanctions, the shadow of war, and media hegemony have changed our daily lives. Widespread frustration on an individual and social scale has led to a wave of migration, instability, the rapid pace of change has stolen our peace of mind. What is the role of architecture in this situation?
We are not politicians who can change the world, we are architects and we can influence the environment around us, which our predecessors did well and made this difficult geography a better place to live. So instead of going, we chose to stay and decided to create a better space to stay. This decision became serious when a third person was added to our two-person life. We named our daughter Aban.
The architecture of Isfahan has taught us well, that architecture can be full of mystery, not express everything it has at once, so it becomes unpredictable, and with each turn in space, it gives us a new image. All components and concepts continue during the contrast and create a single whole, and according to Rumi, though day and night are contrasts they are from the same truth. We have tried to present everything we have experienced and learned in our past architecture, or recall in a “déjà vu”, in a contemporary format.
The geometry of the house is generally taken from the 3 * 3 pattern, which is the mother pattern of many architectural works of this land. If according to that pattern, the courtyard was located in the center and the spaces were organized around it, in this house, 3x3 pattern, three courtyards in the corners, are organized in such a way that each of the interior spaces, not with one courtyard and in one direction, but each space is related with two courtyards and two directions.
These courtyards, which are all made of bricks, according to the climate of Isfahan, provide the conditions for life to be constantly flowing on the border between inside and outside. Hence, we believe that outside of the introverted and extroverted duality, we have achieved a kind of architecture that, like the architecture of the past, has the courtyard as one of the areas of daily life, and also, the continuity of interior spaces, is inevitable with attention to the way of life today.
So instead of looking at our architectural knowledge, we looked at our lived experience, what we had experienced in previous years, or wanted to experience. In relation to space, how many behaviors that we have forgotten but are needed. And our past architecture, in the best way, reminded us how spaces, which are flexible and without definite function, can provide the necessary ground for creating enjoyable events. Therefore, the Aban house is composed of spaces for definite and clear functions, but this house is more than that, full of open, closed, and semi-open spaces, where various events can be witnessed.

The house consists of two, central boxes – one, a long rectangle constructed from exposed concrete, floats above the excavated yard and a reflection pool. The other is coated in white plaster.
Both of the two, central masses are covered by a metal net, painted white. It is, if you will, a modern-day interpretation of the Middle East crises. The metal netting is constructed in a recurring, geometric pattern that allows light and air to enter the enclosed spaces as well as the interior and exterior areas that it combines.
The netting meanders across the house almost as if it were marking out a series of contours. At times, it is ethereal allowing light and air to access the spaces. Sometimes it is closed, acting as an entrance whilst at other times it is inlaid with a system of pivoting doors that allow one of the facades to appear dynamic and ever changing.
The same geometric pattern is repeated in different the building’s interior design. For example, a metal wall that follows the floating stairs acting as a perforated balustrade.
On the building’s southern side the concrete mass is truncated by an 11 meter long, hanging wall which, through the use of complex engineering techniques and solutions, does not touch the ground. The wall seemingly floats above the reflecting pool
Floating above the reflecting pool, the wall emphasises the lengthy water element of the project that starts with the reflecting pool and ends with a swimming pool.
During the day, the metal netting allows natural light to enter the building, creating shadow pictures on the concrete surfaces. At night, the light expanding out from the house’s spaces and the garden, seeps out through the netting creating a “statue of light” on the plot.

Buena Vista is a small, economical but provocative family home sitting high on a ridge in inner-city Brisbane. This is house is about the abstraction of an economically built “brick & tin” house in a suburban context which looks to challenge local vernacular and the domestic paradigm.
Conceptual Framework
This house is about the abstraction of an economically built “brick & tin” house in a suburban context which seeks to challenge the local vernacular. Conceived as a single story, trussed roof, brick veneer house from a cost perspective, the house has simply been “lifted” to take advantage of city views while very economically creating additional space on the ground plain in the under croft (used for car collection, services and outdoor accommodation). The elevated living spaces and bedrooms enjoy cooling summer breezes and panoramic views with near optimal orientation. Conversely, the thermal mass, heavily insulated brick envelope with substantial north glazing allows for comfortable winter living. The low maintenance materials and robust finishes palette deliver a tactile and enduring aesthetic which is loosely inspired the more industrial aspirations of the clients. The planning, while specific to the current owners, is capable of repurpose for a more traditional brief for a possible future owner. A small building footprint allows for generous outdoor/ garden space to prevail which will mature in the years to come and complete the living environment and architectural concept.
The clients wanted a robust, industrial inspired home that suited their longer term needs. They were focused on building an engaging home that addressed their own specific lifestyle and not a “generic” interpretation of market expectation. A strong focus on study and reading gives rise to the “pod” on the western edge of the house that also contains the “quiet space” in the form of a city viewing mezzanine. The outcome is an economical, challenging, quality, well-built home that also offers a sense of joy about how simple materials might be used in a different way.
The use of brick and tin is what defines this house and is both an obvious response to context (as this is what whole suburb is made of) while simultaneously subversive in its application (with regards to the format and reinterpretation). This choice of material repackages the local vernacular so as to address our client’s brief but also a broader architectural dialogue. The house attempts to reinterpret the vernacular in a sustainable, relevant and engaging way while avoiding referential mimicry that is all too often demanded from the local planning schemes.
The concept from the outset was to conceive of a “single story” house with all of the core spaces at the first level (living and sleeping). By “lifting” the house created a substantial “free area” in the under croft which accommodates the outdoor living and car workshop (part of the brief). A mezzanine loft in the roof space of the study area affords respite and city views for the owners. The car workshop has also been designed in such a way that it can be repurposed for a future living room scenario offering longer term flexibility.
This is a simple house but one that is crafted by a group of people that cared at every level. By aligning brick layers, sheet metal workers, joiners, sub-contractors and the clients, standard components were somehow “made special”. Equally, the involvement of the engineers from the outset allowed us to plan the structural strategy to employ standard components and limit the use of steel (which saved dollars). The landscape, when completed and will add the necessary softness and shadow that the concept anticipates. We really wanted to demonstrate how a great outcome can achieved with a big agenda on economy.
This project is our greatest success with regards to cost. This house is effectively a brick veneer, slab on ground, trussed roof house with aluminium domestic windows. This strategy meant that we created the financial bandwidth within the budget to selectively embellish elements of the design to deliver a quality and bespoke outcome with parts that are otherwise standard in principal. At just over $2300/m2 this is the most economical house we have ever built against our office average of $3360/m2 (meaning that it cost 32% less). The house was also built on time without any cost variation!

The 15 cent site had an existing house, a warehouse and numerous trees and was located within a kilometer radius from the Kollam beach in Kerala. The adjacency to the sea coupled with the humid climatic conditions of the region encouraged us to adhere to an open plan. The vision was to design an energy-efficient house that would benefit from natural phenomena like cross ventilation, passive cooling and natural lighting. The plan and the volume of the spaces were hence worked on carefully to improve the efficiency of the built spaces that blends seamlessly with the exterior. A conscious study was rendered to retain all the existing vegetation within the site and to insert the built space appropriately.
The idea of a large central courtyard emerged as a design solution to retain adult trees in the heart of the site. Subsequently, the built spaces evolved around the courtyard at the focus which would ensure uninterrupted flow of fresh air and visually connect to every space within the house. Appropriate details like perforated false walls and double volumes were incorporated on the south and west side of the house, to craft thermally efficient and cooler interior spaces. The interior layout of the rooms was meticulously designed for effective circulation and movement through the house. The interior design also compliments the openness in the plan and has a minimalistic style of design. The materials used were cautiously picked considering the availability in the vicinity and the thermal effects on the interior spaces.
Laterite bricks from Kannur were used extensively with precise construction details, as a substitute for cladding on the exterior walls. Parasol roofs were incorporated to bolster passive cooling of the interiors and as a structure that can conceal the solar panels installed on them. The landscape scheme for the residence acknowledges the existing vegetation and attempts to blur the boundaries of the built structure. The idea was to craft evocative spaces which sit almost unseen and blend modestly with their adjacencies. The plant list was consciously compiled in response to the growing conditions and the aesthetic requirements of the client. The ephemerality and the seasonal variation in the landscape impart enthusiasm and comfort to the built spaces.

Welcome to A Three-Dimensional 'Learning Landscape' and a Soviet-Inspired Architecture School
A Three-Dimensional 'Learning Landscape' and a Soviet-Inspired Architecture School: 10 Unbuilt Educational Facilities Submitted to ArchDaily
This week’s curated selection of Best Unbuilt Architecture highlights educational architecture submitted by the ArchDaily community. From preschools to higher education institutes, this article explores how architects shifted towards fostering individual creativity, critical thinking, and exploration, and presents projects submitted to us from all over the world.
Featuring a secluded kindergarten in the Icelandic mountains, a vibrantly-colored playschool in the industrial city of Shenzhen, and a Florentine high school with a flow of natural sunlight, this round-up explores how architects prioritize student well being and comfort in spaces that promote productivity, learning, and creativity. The selection also includes preschools, high schools, and academies in France, United States, Egypt, Kazakhstan, and Israel.
Kindergarten Combloux
SPACES Architecture + Boris d’Archi
The project uses two architectural systems to resolve a partially unfinished and confusing situation in the center of Combloux. On the one hand a mineral pedestal supports an alpine meadow that belongs by its physicality to the ground and by its materiality to the entire landscape. On the other hand a small hamlet which participates in the construction of the village by bordering it in the northern part with a register of constructions familiar both by their size and their ornament.
In a Green Hollow Kindergarten
The breathtaking Icelandic nature and heritage of the building traditions have been a source of inspiration and leading design parameters for our design proposal ‘Í grænni lautu’. The circular shape of the building has many readings; for one, it is an including shape which shelters the kids from the harsh wind, and gives them a place of democracy and a visual connection throughout the building. It also refers to the cycle of nature, a cycle economy where nothing is wasted.
Wuzhou Primary School
Set in the dynamic context of Shenzhen, Wuzhou Primary School is designed for innovative learning. The city’s focus for learning is shifting towards fostering individual creativity, critical thinking, and open exploration. To support this change, Wuzhou Primary School is conceived as a three dimensional ‘Learning Landscape’. Based on Malaguzzi’s concept of ‘the environment as the third teacher,’ the school is a continuous field of diverse learning spaces, connected through blurred boundaries and tightly packed into a dense urban setting.
The jury has unanimously chosen the proposal where the building blends between nature and the architectural
language of the neighborhood, minimizing its impact on the context. The design addresses the plot’s slope by gradually lowering the building, fitting all children facilities on a single floor. It privileges access to the outdoors, and provide all homerooms with direct connection to the indoor and outdoor playgrounds. The whole concept focus on providing a safe and warm environment for play and growth.
New Scientific High School ‘’A.M Enriques Agnoletti’’
A new scientific high school for the metropolitan area of Florence is a design challenge that inevitably can be resolved at a formal level through a synthesis of the emergencies of the territorial context. But it can also be a challenge for the territory in itself that must establish strong synergies between the institutions that govern it to improve the building, school/cultural and work of the area.
School in Cascais, Portugal
The ambition of the project is not only to create a smart receptacle for learning, but also to blend in the urban fabric in a relevant way. All the elements of the project are present somewhere in the town: The corridor surrounding all functions is de-signed like the old city streets, the indoor and outdoor paved floors reminds the Portuguese praça, the overall volumetry has the qualities of a real city block. Simplicity, flexibility and functionality.
International School
The International School, located in The New Capital, aims to unleash children's creativity and learning spirit by implementing a fresh new ideology that would guarantee the utmost benefit to the educational community. Advocating for “Brighter Education,” the school's colorful facade acts as a form of teaching aid to the students. The School focuses on the learning environment by penetrating direct sunlight to all classrooms, adjusting the ventilation system, and granting the community easy access among both interior and exterior spaces.
Neal Math & Science Academy
Thanks to a $40 million donation by AbbVie to North Chicago School District 187 for the rebuilding of the middle school, the project represents an opportunity to transform the area comprised predominantly of Latino and African American families that have seen little to no investments for decades. The vertical orientation of the design was inspired by the community’s desire to no longer be invisible. The five-story building reflects the pride and strength of the community, proudly standing tall together.
The Hebrew Language Academy and Museum
The Mother Language narrative was employed in the visual and architectural means of the museum's design - an ‘Architectural Mother Language’. The term refers to local and familiar architectural elements and materials that are designed to create a homely and familiar experience for the visitor and thereby strengthen their identification with the museum's theme. The galleries are designed as a series of display spaces with transparent passages and balconies between them, resembling the courtyards between the Israeli residential blocks, providing natural light and creating the connection with nature, the landscape and the adjacent Promenade.
New Reimagined Architecture School for Central Asia
This project is aimed to introduce a new private architecture school in Almaty, Kazakhstan in the existing Soviet factory building, revitalizing its fabric and spaces, and bringing to it new life, function and meaning on the level of neighborhood, city, country, and Central Asia. Shifting from a sterile corridor-based and classroom approach of teaching and learning to a more creative, collaborative, and open-space layout will bring a new level of communication, contributing to the quality of the learning environment.

When asked to design a new townhouse as a ‘starters home’ by AG Vespa, we decided to literally think of the house as a starting point: A Simple House, as a first step to fulfill the principal demand in the most economic and rigid way. But together with the main house, anticipating growth and rising budgets, we also designed a series of complementary add-ons.
Rather than giving way to a series of Belgian-style ‘ad hoc’ extensions, we created a set of ‘toppings’: seemingly independent architectural objects providing different spatial qualities and accessory functionality. Dispensable yet essential, just like the chocolate sprinkles on your frozen yogurt.
The single-family house is constructed using CLT (cross-laminated timber) that is left visible to give the rooms their distinct interior quality. The rational ground plan is the same on every floor: a central staircase with two adjacent spaces. The result is a series of rooms able to ‘house’ whatever is needed in that particular phase of life.
The front facade is characterised by a high plinth in blue tiling, giving the house an idiosyncratic appearance in the street that non the less pursues the horizontal articulations of its neighbours. This clear-cut image was then copied at the rear side. Making the best of this temporary state by creating two identical facades and thus emphasizing symmetry in the plan and the apparent simplicity of the house.

Located in one of the quieter heartlands of Singapore is 83 Braemar, a three-story terrace house gracing a Bachelor’s spirit for adventurous living. Standing out distinctly in the day - its façade conceptualized as a mosaic of horizontal volumes mirroring the Purist style of the early 1900s, its volume dissipates into one of a gently illuminated silhouette exuding a comforting warmth long into the night.
Core structural elements in reinforced concrete, celebrating its material integrity in the manner of Brutalism, frame the main living space of the dwelling greeting one upon entering. Dark-hued hardwood employed in the finish of storage well concealed within the double volumed space creates the atmosphere of a cozy luxury paradoxically humble in character. Flushed to an end is a narrow flight of stairs setting one into the procession of crossing a threshold into the private quarters.
A symbolic U-turn midway leads one to the discovery of the Master Bedroom and Bath, each of a different style yet strangely paired in harmony. Mellowed earth tones are employed in the Master Bedroom, while one is seemingly transported somewhere else upon entering the Bath designed as a Japanese “Onsen” in the setting of the tropics. While large windows encourage the permeation of delightful daylighting, privacy is taken into consideration through the employing of deep eaves commonly found in Tropical Architecture. The sensitivity towards the unpredictability of the Tropical climate is evident in the ability of one to enjoy outdoor views in this cross-ventilated space even in moments of most vulnerability.
A final ascend up the flight of stairs invites one into the very heart of the dwelling – a dedicated reading chamber once again transporting one to a distant elsewhere. Deep shelves chronicle the many adventures of the seasoned traveler, with treasured books and cultural collections coming together as a personal museum in a Japanese “Ryokan” setting. The dedicated lavatory decked full-out in turquoise kit-kat tiles once again stirs a familiar deja vu attributing to the juxtaposition of eclectic styles, and the affirmation of 83 Braemar being best described as a dwelling of “worlds within the world ”.

One of architecture’s fundamental legacies is its own form. Not only
is history built from its visual universe, but form is also a common
language that brings together architects from all over the world in
a collective conversation. In this exhibition, which proceeds from a
potentially infinite repository, three architects—Johnston Marklee,
Nuno Brandão Costa, and Office KGDVS—build a dialogue that
challenges notions of authorship and the limits of form.
Mariabruna Fabrizi and Fosco Lucarelli were invited to reflect upon
a selection of examples from their platform, Socks Studio. They
highlight the permanence of form and its capacity to condense a set
of values into any visible thing. The Socks format has evolved over
the years from an online magazine to become a platform for
speculation and discussion that also draws on Microcities’ own
architectural projects.
Functioning as a “conversation,” the narrative of the exhibition has
been developed around a number of spaces that are inspired by
examples of architectural designs by the architects. Each of the
spaces is designed to house content selected from the extensive
Socks database.
The language of architecture is explored through a sample of
construction drawings, landscape interventions, urban plans,
artistic investigation, and other elements. Originating from
different time periods and regions of the world, the content
highlights what remains constant and what changes, as well as
identifying analogies and affinities in the creation of the built
environment. Organized along twelve interlinked spaces, with each
space incorporating images related to a core element, the exhibition
defines continuous seam of works that are directly inter-related, be
it through affinity or opposition.
Curated by Diogo Seixas Lopes, The Form of Form exhibition is also a
process in itself. The ultimate aim is for it to become a “meeting
space” that can demonstrate the meaning of form in architectural
design – in the past, present and future.

10 House is located in San Rafael, a gated community in Tigre, 30 km away from the City of Buenos Aires.
The development's main asset is its lagoon, which baths the rear edge of the house garden, defining the most important feature of the commission landscape to take into account. Its surface is 907m2 with a front of 24 meters wide, which is reduced in the background to 17 meters and its depth is 44 meters.
The commission was made by a young couple that wanted to build a 300m2 permanent residence. They were interested in our studio’s aesthetic proposal, seduced by the low maintenance that the concrete construction system grants.
Their main aesthetic requirements were that the exterior facades should be entirely kept as apparent concrete, while white walls must predominate in the interior, contrasting with a few selected concrete elements.
Their programmatic requirements consisted of a large double-height social area, with a separate TV room, a kitchen separated from the dining room and a covered parking space for two cars. The program also called for an en suite master bedroom with its dressing room and two secondary bedrooms for their future children.
They also requested a studio that they would both use as their working space. They expressed their desire for the house to have an extensive outdoor gallery to enjoy nature, and a big sized pool.
Our studio designed the residence around the double-height social area. The intention was that this great hall should not be perceived from the exterior to maintain the double-floored house’s horizontal proportion, which harmonizes the relation with the surrounding environment.
The social area occupies the site’s maximum building width longitudinally, endowed with openings towards the garden, swimming pool, and lagoon.
As a single and pure volume, the first floor inclines towards the front acting as a roof for the main entrance and the parking space. Towards the rear, it creates the roof for a profound gallery that integrates the interior with the exterior.
Set transversely, a series of parallel inverted beams develop the concrete cover. To reduce the house’s visual perception, the beams support the slabs which, depending on the case, we decided to support them in their upper level or lower level to hide the house’s real height behind the facades. On the other hand, these beams create skylights which capture the south’s indirect sunlight.
In the main hall, the double-height covering was set to the beams’ lower level so as to have the minimum height at the stairs on the first floor. The intention was to accentuate the space’s horizontal lecture. Due to the delicate zenithal light on its longitudinal sides, the stoned looking roof has a lightweight appearance.
The delicate zenithal lights penetrating the longitudinal sides of the stony looking roof, invites you to appreciate it as a lighter object, contrasting its heaviness essence.
The house’s main element is a concrete piece that separates the social area with the TV room by a hanging partition wall and at the same time resolves the stairs and the fire place’s space. The material’s rusticity distinguishes the piece opposing the white plain walls in the interior.
On the first floor, blind walls at the sides of the house provide privacy to from the neighboring houses while it opens towards the street and the garden. These walls are supported by the beam´s lower level, hiding the house’s real height reinforcing the house’s horizontal proportions.

The house is located in the middle of a small alley with only 50 square meters of land, which is a gentle intersection between modern architecture and a bit nostalgic… It includes 3 bedrooms, living room, kitchen and small playground. Although the area is quite limited, the home space is still filled with light and feels close to nature. Besides, the living room is also a place to connect family members giving them a space to talk together. Sometimes it is also a corner reminiscent of childhood with old items. It makes them remember their loved ones most…
Investor‘s requirements: In spite of having a small area, the house owner dream of that their house has to ensure full of features for the family. The living room is not only for reception but also a place to gather friends. Moreover, the kitchen space must be airy and children can be observed playing. In particular, with their own personalities, they want their house to be as thoughtful as possible with everything that is airy, neat, light and minimalistic, with sunshine and wind. In general, the house is a closed shape but inside is an open space connecting the kitchen to the living room and the floor space.
Thus, with the given requirements, we combined plants with raw color materials such as: Red brick tone, cement wall outside to paint a natural and rustic exterior. The main highlight of the interior is wood; the wall was painted white tone to help the space become wider and more luxurious. The economic problem is the point that we are most satisfied with in the design of 45 House. As the cost of building the house is very reasonable for the young couple. At the same time, the front of the house is also distinctive and prominent in the small alley.

The building site can be reached from 2 different directions: one from a 3 meter-wide lane that can only be used by motorbikes and another is from a 5 meter-wide lane. The site is landlocked by many closely placed buildings: the front of the 5m lane has the 4 storeys (15 meters high) townhouses and the back of this site adjacent with 7.5 meters high 2 storeys house. As a result, it forms the site with a distinctive zigzag shape, with “the Knots” effect in the middle.
The design solution is to divide the house into 3 blocks with different height levels to accommodate different building functions. These blocks are then connected by courtyard acting as transition space; bringing lights and natural ventilation throughout the site. The courtyard space is the design solution to “the Knots” part of the site and performed as flexible space to provide light, shade, air, privacy, and shelter.
There are corridors stretches across 3 blocks at different levels which not only allow better circulation throughout building but also capturing lights reflected through changing shade of the materials during the different times of day.
The folded-roof system wrapped all space blocks together to define as one unity. The “angular geometry” roof system designed with different changing height levels corresponds to roof-scape and blends itself with the surrounding buildings. When it is seen from 5meter wide road, the unequal height of the house in comparison with other houses on the wider lane can be seen as the main viewpoint in the context.The louver system extends from roof to building facades in combination of folded roof pattern create an aesthetic connection of both external and interior spaces; also performs as comfortable shading system all year around.

The commission was proposed by members of two families who shared a narrow and deep lot in Colegiales, an area of the city of Buenos Aires which is changing as a result of the significant amount of multifamily housing built in recent years, but which still maintains certain neighborhood characteristics.
The owners established both a program and maximum costs for each home as well as the location of each of the units in the lot: one in front and one behind, both with a courtyard and pool.
The required materials and form were consistent with what we have defined in several of the houses built by the office: simple volumes of exposed concrete, with minimum maintenance over time, and generous openings to facilitate a smooth interior and exterior relationship.
Another requirement was the need for the project to appear sufficiently closed to the public highway or to ensure the safety of both houses. In addition, the project should allow parking for at least four cars.
The proposal was defined with the decision to release the ground floor of the first unit to allow a smooth passage to the back unit and allow for the required parking spaces.
From this decision we designed a set of two houses that achieve independence from their location in plan and in section from their yards.
Each house is designed in a compact volume of two levels to release as much ground as possible. The main rooms are oriented towards the back seeking the north and service spaces are designed toward the facade (in the case of the front unit) achieving the required opacity with respect to the street and, in the back unit, into the open space generated between the two built volumes.
The built mass that determines each unit is perforated so that a small courtyard is is designed, providing double ventilation and lighting effects to all environments, introducing vegetation inside the house.

Chia Tai Farm is a small-scale (310 sq.m.) urban cuisine restaurant that serves the menu by following the concept of farm-to-table. The restaurant space consists of a Fresh Product Market area, a Tree bar, a Dining area, a Dining garden, a Home garden product, a Chef table room, and a Seed gallery. The interior circulation is changed to be a part of the Architectural element as diagonal steps which appear prominently landmark, moreover, the diagonal element creates the relationship between exterior space which is the garden, and interior space which is the dining area.
The diagonal steps space is employed to create the Seed gallery which is not only connected to the 1st floor and 2nd-floor space but also contains the Chia Tai company’s history and reveals the meaning of the company's essence throughout the raisin seed curtain. The seed gallery is contained 4520 pieces of acrylic which insert 250 vegetable and fruit species inside, like a curtain. In addition, the diagonal atrium space is designed to connect all areas not only horizon but also vertical space which are tree bar on the 1st floor and the dining garden on the 2nd floor.
On the second floor, the Home garden products kiosk is combined with the dining area to create a dining experience in the garden, in addition, the Home garden terrace is designed to connect three areas which are the Home garden, dining area, and Chef table room. The farm products are sent to The Chef Table room which is design not only to serve a private dinner from celebrity chefs but also to be a food laboratory and create a new menu to serve in the restaurant.
The Chia Tai fam is located in front of the headquarter building, therefore to preserve a concept of the company identity, the material is designed in the same mood and tone as the main building, yet to create a differentiation the Chia Tai farm is employed material which has a hard and soft texture on the façade not only exterior but also interior materials.
