Casa Barro was born with the goal of re-signifying traditional construction methods and returning them to their rightful place in our spaces, designs, and ways of living. We aim to return to artisanal processes because we believe that the luxury of the future lies in appreciating the essential, in a more respectful understanding of the creation times, in honoring processes that involve a slower b…

Casa Capitão is a cultural space located in the Beato neighborhood of Lisbon, focusing on music, gastronomy, art, and critical thinking. The existing building, featuring typical late 19th-century architecture, now stands out thanks to its new exposed concrete crown, transforming the unique program into an architectural statement.

In the decades following independence, some of the most ambitious architectural experiments in the world did not emerge through museums , monuments , or government palaces . They emerged through universities. Across South Asia and Africa , newly formed nations turned campuses into testing grounds for entirely new ways of imagining collective life. These campuses functioned as more than educationa…

The Freiham district is not only Munich's newest urban expansion but also currently the largest new development area in Europe. In the long term, around 25,000 people are expected to live here on an area of 350 hectares. Because the land remains in the city's possession, it was able to grant the plots in sections to municipal developers, cooperatives, and building associations under hereditary bu…

The triangular, all-glass tower located in the city's 15th arrondissement topped out at 42 stories on April 24, 2026.

Located at the intersection of Adriatic landscapes and Balkan geopolitics, Tirana has undergone one of the most accelerated urban transformations in Europe over the last three decades. Once defined by rigid socialist planning and political isolation, the city has progressively reoriented itself through a combination of informal growth, international investment, and strategic urban interventions t…

The sailing marina is the final stage of the development of the eastern waterfront of Paprocany Lake and, at the same time, the completion of the pedestrian promenade. In 2020, the MOSM kayak marina was opened to the public a few hundred meters along the shore.

A house stretched to 24 metres in length and compressed to 3.6 metres in width. The house is organised by a single diagonal wall positioned at the centre of the plan. More than a partition, the wall becomes the structural and spatial core of the house, supporting the roof while simultaneously dividing, connecting, and framing domestic life.

People are born naked, and they are clad in garments, houses, cities, and nature. The site where untouched nature has been carefully preserved is located within Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, in a corner of the Izu Highlands overlooking Mount Omuro. We aim to create a place where visitors can release their five senses and are clad in water, in the air of the site, in the surrounding greenery, in …

Challenging the traditional model of a tucked-away pantry, we boldly reposition the "Employee Interaction Lounge" as the heart of the workspace. Through "diverted circulation" and a "separate yet connected" layout, we craft an office that employees are eager to return to—an ideal response to the new era of remote and hybrid work. By weaving together materiality, abundant natural light, and intent…

A music preparatory academy operates under a specific spatial logic: densely packed soundproof practice rooms, their number directly tied to tuition costs. This project begins by accepting that reality rather than denying it.

In the heart of Nosara , this residence folds into the landscape, drawing light, air, and vegetation into every space. Designed around introversion and biophilia, its structure frames the forest from within. A singular roof unifies the house while maintaining its discreet presence beneath the trees.

The restaurant renovation project is organized around a central wall that structures the space and guides circulation.

Haus W is located on a steep slope defined by exposed geological strata. From the outset, the site was understood not only as a constraint but as a formative parameter. The local geology, consisting of limestone and quartz belonging to the Säntis Range, with its grain and dark tonal variations, informed both the spatial organisation and the material expression of the building.

Recent events have given a much-needed boost to downtown Nicosia . Street life is being encouraged, the vehicle discouraged, and the built environment is undergoing a general upgrade. It is rising from the ground. Leaving the ground. To date, there are only a couple of designs that have taken on the new scale now permitted. The Excelsior Labs tower is one of them. A rich programme is neatly distr…

On the urban landscape, architecture is never an isolated entity, but rather a spatial vehicle that engages in a profound dialogue with its site, its people, and the spirit of the city. It has long transcended its physical functions to become a vessel containing the city's soul. Located in Qinghe Town, Haidian District, Beijing , the INNNG International Talent Community is a vivid embodiment of t…

Built from earth and shaped by climate, this residence in Hosur reinterprets traditional construction techniques through a contemporary architectural lens, where material, structure, and space are inseparable.
