Vivienda en el Cabañal

This time, we sneak in a home in El Cabañal, on the top floor of a building from the late seventies which is surrounded by pitched roofs and courtyards. Almost like an intruder, it is erected oblivious to the traditional construction methods of the district. There we find metal beams and pillars supporting slabs made of concrete joists and ceramic vaults. A classic from that era. Germán Cabo Germán Cabo In this little corner of the city, a young couple wish to bring light and joy into this changing space. With this purpose in mind, we embark on a project with an almost square layout. The windows are mainly oriented towards the south and the west, but also facing east and the sea. This will allow us to enjoy a... More

From orthopedic practice to modern home

The house, formerly used as an orthopedic practice, has been transformed into the dream home of the clients, the Roman family. In this remarkable transformation, they wanted to combine two styles: the sleek, modern design from Austria and the warm, cozy atmosphere of Swedish woodwork. The result? A harmonious blend of two distinct styles that perfectly suit the residence.

House amongst Gardens

Casa Orea

Located on irregularly shaped land, has a unique architectural program, where each space is conceived with the intention of improving the relationship between interior and exterior space, both visually and physically. Caption It’s designed after looking for the best orientation in order to create terraces, allowing sunlight entrance and working as visual points and social areas. From the access different volumes can be observed that arise through the correct use of proportion, from which a large vertical volume of concrete stands out that precedes the horizontality of the project where a compositional axis establishes the spatial organization, accentuating and framing access to housing.

DP home

Some houses do not require radical human interventions to have an impact on people's lives and dp home is no exception. Michela Locci Michela Locci This apartment located in the province of Lodi sees in its owners a young couple who love colors and small spaces. The project stems from the client's desire to keep some of the previously purchased furnishings such as the kitchen, as a design constraint for our intervention, an important aspect considering its chromatic impact. Michela Locci Michela Locci Our task was to redefine the spaces and uses that were absent up to now, through the creation of semi-arched openings, fabrics and new materials such as parquet and terrazzo flooring that delimit a well-defined space betw...

10 residences implementing engineered wood flooring

Wood is an excellent flooring solution that is warm, sophisticated and high quality. Cost, durability and thickness restrictions, though, can make engineered wood flooring the most suitable application for many residential spaces. Engineered wood flooring can convey the same level of craftsmanship and solidity as natural woods with the benefit of being stronger, easier to maintain or more cost efficient.    Multiplank engineered wood floor products consist of two or three layers, designed to prevent the natural warping of wood and to ensure a solid base. The bottom layer is typically made from water-resistant plywood on which a solid top layer is glued with waterproof adhesive. Top layers are cut from fresh raw material - giving... More

Casa Mesura

Temperance and minimum expression to achieve a house with maximum functionality and efficiency. Casa Mesura is a single-family house on the ground floor, seeking maximum comfort and energy efficiency, in short, a comfortable house to enjoy. Caption Caption The neutral and silent façade, without wanting to be the protagonist of the neighbourhood, maintains the premise of the architectural studio Buhoblanco Arquitectos of maintaining a quiet, harmonious architecture that makes a town or city. An architecture that makes a city with the sum of many over individualities and outlandish designs.

Pied-à-terre Keizersgracht

This Pied-à-terre apartment had to contain a multifunctional room in the middle that is at once part of the living room, a study and a guest room. It’s a very deep space which has the unique feature of having windows on three sides, but not a lot of them. It also has the entrance all the way at the back-corner.  Caption As the position of the entrance made it necessary to make a pretty long hallway, we made a couple of interventions to alleviate the longitudinal space. First of all we treated the division between the hallway and the rooms behind it as an architectural object. It is materialized as a furniture piece, differently from the outer shell of the apartment, thus emphasizing the apartment as one hole. We also... More

Out(side)In House

As nature seeps through a crack of a stone, or as from a wound of one’s heart blooms a new, unforeseen joy and peace, a nameless empty room becomes a sanctuary, a small universe, where one’s soul can truly rest. Located near Scarborough Bluffs, the panoramic horizon of Lake Ontario, Out(side)In House offers a void that leads the inhabitants to see the inner horizon, suggesting life in its deeper meaning. Borzu Talaie   The house is broken indentedly at its center into two volumes, which are pulled apart and shuffled so that the breakages face the outside and the exterior walls face the central void. In this double-height atrium, natural light falls from the sky through a series of stepped clearstories, oriented to so... More

Terrace House 1

Terrace House 1 is a two-story rear addition to an existing terrace house driven by the desire for connectedness to family, the outdoors, and the creation of a retreat for a frontline medical worker. Context & Brief The project began when the client – a nurse – expressed a desire to upgrade her single-family detached residence to better meet her needs. Located in Ascot Vale, an inner-suburban locale approximately 6kms north-west of Melbourne, the existing home had been previously upgraded in the 90s but offered poor thermal comfort, little connection to the backyard, and a series of dark, under-utilised interior spaces.  As a frontline medical worker, often required to work nights, the client hoped for a nature-fille...
