Susanna Moreira — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 15:00:00 +0000

Implanted on a corner lot between two streets in the western part of São Paulo, the Pascoal Vita Building stands out for its striking geometry, softened by the gardens that surround the entire construction and establish a continuity with the surrounding landscape.

81 Housing Units / Ramdam Architectes + palast

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 06:00:00 +0000

In the center of Nantes, the transformation of the former army barracks known as the Caserne Mellinet reflects contemporary urban challenges. Situated at the entrance of this neighborhood composed of six hamlets, the flats completed by Ramdam and Palast are part of the Chapus hamlet. This hamlet is the transitional urban feature linking the Saint-Donatien neighborhood and the heart of the barracks complex. Whilst respecting the intention of urban planners to create a coherent identity between the two areas, the project is first and foremost part of a powerful construction ambition of a wooden structure and mineral façades composed of plastered hempcrete.

L’appartement Hu / OUJ

Miwa Negoro — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 02:00:00 +0000

After the pandemic, the elderly parents and their daughters, previously living in southern and northern Taiwan, began considering future care needs and decided to live together in Taipei. Located in a 40-year-old public housing complex, this 72-sqm apartment navigates two opposing conditions: the tranquil greenery of the Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab to the south, and the bustle of a major commercial boulevard to the north. The low ceilings and original layout with three small bedrooms intensified the narrow proportions and the sense of enclosure. Moreover, iron window grilles and fixed AC units obstructed the openings, severely compromising natural light and ventilation.

Kaye Residences / Grzywinski+Pons

Susanna Moreira — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 11:00:00 +0000

PETÉN / REIMS 502

Pilar Caballero — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 15:00:00 +0000

In Mexico City, buildings from the 1950s in the Vértiz-Narvarte neighborhood displayed a modern architectural style characterized by clean lines, bold geometry, and minimalist façades. Within this context, in 1956 a multifamily residential building for working-class residents was constructed, designed by architect and civil engineer Enrique Hernández Camarena.

Corner Apartment / Prokop Hartl

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The project involved a complete renovation of an apartment in a late-1930s Prague building, boasting exceptional views of the Vltava River. The primary objective was to adapt the layout to the needs of a young family while preserving and enhancing the inherent qualities of the original interior. A specific requirement was the integration of a dedicated storage solution for family bicycles.

HVM Maya / Perkins&Will

Cartola Apartment / EIXO Z arquitetos

Andreas Luco — Sat, 14 Feb 2026 15:00:00 +0000

Located in São Paulo, the Cartola Apartment was designed to be a cozy urban retreat for a couple residing in the state´s interior but working part of the week in the capital. The 65 m² property underwent extensive renovations, including demolition of masonry, new plumbing and electrical installations, new finishes, lighting, carpentry, and furniture. The project's premise was to adapt the apartment's configuration to a more flexible and contemporary lifestyle by integrating the living room and kitchen, increasing the number of bathrooms, and incorporating a remote work desk. Despite its compact size, the apartment's modular and rational layout allowed these interventions to be accommodated efficiently, ensuring spaces with comfortable proportions and dimensions suitable for the new intended uses.

Carpinteros Residential Building / Zozaya Arquitectos

Valentina Díaz — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 15:00:00 +0000

In the bay of Zihuantanejo, atop a hill that slopes down to Playa la Madera, rises Carpinteros, a residential building inspired by the sails that traverse the coast and the craft of transformation. The project translates the relationship between wind, material, and landscape into architecture that dialogues with the sea, the supporting slope and its context.

Urban Infill Project for Social Housing / MAKER architecten

Andreas Luco — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The project addresses a challenge shared across Europe: how can we intervene in a complex urban fabric while preserving the histories of its inhabitants and the material traces that shape it? How can one act in an "acupunctural" manner—revitalizing the city without total demolition, without starting from scratch?

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Lumen Residential Building / Next Office–Alireza Taghaboni

Miwa Negoro — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 21:00:00 +0000

We call the Lumen Residential Building the Corners Project because by manipulating and distorting the form in the corner of a building block and by using strategies such as filament, semi-transparency, and multi-layering, we could tame the intense light that exists in the main aspects of the building.

Ventura Terra University Residence - University of Lisbon / CVDB arquitectos

Susanna Moreira — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 03:00:00 +0000

The project for the Ventura Terra University Residence – University of Lisbon is conditioned by the necessary building density, given the proposed program, and by the limits of the lot and the maximum height defined in the Detailed Plan. Between the residence and the existing cafeteria building, a pedestrian path is created to connect the higher street to the north (near the Faculty of Architecture) and the lower street to the south.

Kolberger 5 Residence / Studio Mark Randel + David Chipperfield

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The area around the Herzogpark in Munich has retained a certain originality, despite the obvious prosperity of its residents. In addition to expensive delicatessen shops, there are also long-established tailors, bakers, and butchers. Our client was able to purchase a double plot in a residential street, directly along the Herzogpark. It sits in a row of four to five-story residential buildings, most of which were built in the early 20th century. The task was to design an apartment building that reflected the unique location and met the highest living standards.

Elysian Fields Apartments / Warren Techentin Architecture

Andreas Luco — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 06:00:00 +0000

In a city known for single-family homes nested in endless urban sprawl, multifamily living in Los Angeles is increasingly becoming the norm. One challenge facing apartment living is how to replicate the spatial goals associated with single-family living: large open spaces, pets, trees, and the ability to creatively modify your own living space.

Estrela Apartment - Lucky Star / Spacegram

Andreas Luco — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

As great stories go, this is one to keep for the records. As a young couple, moving between countries and business clients as one moves between hot chocolate choices, was looking for a place to live in Lisbon, there were several priorities which they felt should be met: spatious, light-filled, not too complex or technically challenging to change/renovate, and something which felt just right for both of them and their child. Now, something which feels right is a common principle when house hunting: you may see 20 prospective houses in one day that seem to fit the briefing, but there’s always something missing you cannot truly pinpoint. What no one was waiting, or hoping for, was that you could find something truly special on a street in Lisbon which most Portuguese children grew up seeing on TV (the official Prime Minister Office “sits” proudly and grandly just opposite the building). So, street-wise it was a win-win situation in terms of a prime location, but there was a setback.

Vala Apartment / Dasein Office

Miwa Negoro — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 19:00:00 +0000

"Vala" is a response to a fundamental question: How can we create a place for collective living and conscious presence within today's dense and vertical urban fabric? The project, centered on the construction of 50 residential units within a single volume, brings human density into an integrated structure where social interactions and a sense of belonging to the neighborhood can emerge.

The point buildings are spread out to the southwest in beautiful outdoor areas designed by Dronninga Landskap. The other point buildings are designed by the architectural offices Reilulf Ramstad, R21, and Code.

Residential NO. 18 / FAAM Office

Miwa Negoro — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 19:00:00 +0000

The main concept of this project is "Continuity," which is formed from the external body and continues to the interior. The nature of this project is not formed just from the extension of a unique form but from the multiplication of a basic element in architecture, which is the "wall." These thick and pure walls are made from the vertical arrangement of Basalt stone ingots that form the project from the entrance to the roof garden and Project skyline, and eventually the whole body. These walls are cut in specific borders of the combination of the facade layers, architectural plan, and structural construction.
