Zeller & Moye announces Mirage, a public sculpture created by the architecture firm Zeller & Moye and artist Katie Paterson. Located in the olive grove adjacent to the Apple Park Visitor Center, Mirage (2023) features over four hundred glass columns intertwined among the olive trees. The pillars, made of pure molten glass, are crafted with sand collected from deserts around the world. Mirage has been cast into individual glass cylinders, each measuring 1.80 meters in height, by expert glassblowers with the assistance of specialized material scientists.

A Vecindad, a traditional housing typology with simple row houses facing a linear patio in Mexico City, is re-interpreted as a new apartment building for young families. The program is implemented in a typical narrow but deep plot in the Santa María La Ribera neighbourhood, just a few blocks away from the famous Moorish Pavilion. As a new impulse to its immediate vicinity the housing development contributes like a catalyst to the regeneration of the currently otherwise undervalued barrio.

Halo Installation / Zeller & Moye

Valeria Silva — Sun, 14 Feb 2021 09:00:00 +0000

As a reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic, halo provides an introverted refuge zone for one person. By framing the private space around a person the extend of our individual comfort zone, our own aura is made visible, like an offset around a nucleus – a halo. The resulting contained space is a personal microcosm that can be inserted within any public space, keeping the person inside safe from the thread of physical contagion from people nearby. halo´s skin wraps all around a demountable lightweight steel frame, fully blocking out the risk of infection for its user. Once inside, the focus of attention shifts away from the immediate context at street level to the open sky, provoking an intimate relation with the nature right above us including tree canopies, birds, clouds and the sun, features of our environment that we normally do not pay much attention to in cities.

Koeris House / Zeller & Moye

Clara Ott — Fri, 12 Jun 2020 06:00:00 +0000

Haus Koeris is a private home that is situated among tall pine trees on a lot near a lake in close proximity to Berlin. As a structure entirely made of wood, the building is elevated from the ground to minimise the impact on the land and to avoid contact with the seasonally damp soil. The irregular shape of the house stems from the position of existing trees. Five boxes are arranged in a staggered layout with the individual rooms overlapping each other allowing for connections between them. The shifts in the floor plan create small patios and green niches along the building‘s perimeter. Some of these alcoves are sheltered from wind or hidden from views, others capture the sun and thus create pleasant microclimates. The recesses give the residents various opportunities to use the exterior as inhabitable open air spaces in dialogue with the internal rooms, proposing a new relationship with nature where indoors and outdoors blend into each other.

Casa Hilo is a prototype of rural housing suitable for a warm climate. Based on modules, the house takes shape assembled by the means of individual boxes that can be multiplied and freely configured according to the site, budget, or specific needs of each family. The modular system allows a wide variety of horizontal and vertical configurations, thus also offering flexibility regarding family growth over time.

A late 1960’s apartment, originally planned by Russian architect Vladimir Kaspé in central Mexico City, is radically transformed by Zeller & Moye to restore the modernist spirit of its original designer, whilst incorporating contemporary family-life needs. The 250 square meters flat, which forms part of a modernist apartment block, stretches across two floors with a spiral staircase that enhances the continuous spatial character of the apartment.
