Renovated apartment in Ramat Gan

Lovely customers whose children have grown up and left home, decided to renovate the existing apartment and completely renovate it. Eran Turgeman – Photography Studio The renovation included dismantling the infrastructure of the entire apartment, due to an existing plumbing problem that was known before the renovation and was another trigger for the start. Eran Turgeman – Photography Studio The house was dismantled and reassembled in a different design, more open and bright. Walls came down and large and significant plaster depressions that were made in the past due to different sizes of air conditioners were destroyed, thus also achieving a new sense of height for the apartment Eran Turgeman – Photography S...

Enigma

Imagine being in a large labyrinth where every corner hides a secret and every detail matters. Enigma is a functional space that looks light, relaxed, and comfortable, with complex geometry hidden in the simplicity of minimalism. Caption The apartment, the interior design of which was developed by the Bezmirno team, is located in the business-class suburban complex Park Lake City, not far from Kyiv. The apartment’s windows overlook the lake, located in the center of the complex. The low-rise building of the complex seems to bring you closer to nature while maintaining privacy and intimacy. Caption The main task we faced was to combine two apartments into a single living space with a total area of 200 square meters. The apa... More

NEWSHOUSE 2.0

NewsHouse 2.0 is a multimedia complex on the main street of Kyiv, Khreshchatyk, designed by the bureau for the Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine (Suspline Ukraine). Maryan Beresh LOCATION The building on Khreshchatyk was constructed in 1849 as a postal station. Later, one of the first Ukrainian television studios started operating here, but it burned down in the 1990s. Maryan Beresh Two floors of the building were allocated for the future newsroom. The main hall is very tall, with ceilings reaching 9 meters, sometimes preserving soot from the fire. This large dark space had an impressive appearance and became the basis for the future concept. Maryan Beresh CHALLENGES The main challenge for us was the unconventional... More

LAKE TAHOE | LAKEFRONT

The dramatic site largely informed the design of this residence. Early explorations of a serpentine architecture threading through large, slumbering boulders and towering evergreen trees resulted in a design which cascades the site, negotiating the sectional character of the lot, leading to the water’s edge. Rather than altering the site by removing seemingly cumbersome boulders, the design worked with it – integrating its unique character and intricacies, creating moments for its residents and visitors.  JOE FLETCHER JOE FLETCHER JOE FLETCHER JOE FLETCHER JOE FLETCHER The material and color palette of the design was equally inspired by the site’s inherent beauty. The residence is set on a ru... More

HILLSBOROUGH | CAROLANDS

Taking cues from the neighboring classical Carolands Chateau, this home for six maximizes a flat site by lifting the quiet programs off the ground to float above the activity.  Service spaces are captured amongst a masonry plinth, nodding to the neighboring Chateau’s organization and rusticated base.   ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE These masses organize the primary public spaces into a double high core that connects seamlessly to the exterior.  When doors retract, the wood clad volume above becomes a canopy for indoor/outdoor living.   ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE The language of the wood cladding...

LAKE TAHOE | CABIN(S)

Urban Villas

A Relaxing vibe was the driving thought behind the conceptualization of AA Urban Villas. The building itself was a mix used between a working space and a house. Lower levels are used for the work area where the owner works there. So the idea was to create a different surrounding resort feel like a house on the top floor. It was like coming home to a holiday home, a resort on a high cliff in Uluwatu, Bali. Ernest Theofilus Looking sunset on the pool deck in the afternoon. Makes the owner forget that they were living in the hustle-bustle of city life, after a hectic working hour. The land consists of 800m2. Inspired by resort villas, the building is separated into 2 blocks. Ernest Theofilus The front building consists of a Living,... More

Serenity

The desert is open space and long views, but also the close-up, detailed perfection of the cactus flower. It is nature’s serene minimalism. This is the setting for our project inside the gated community of The Vintage in Indian Wells, California. William MacCollum This project involved deep creative collaboration with the clients, who partnered with architect Marc Whipple and the W^R team on every aspect of the interior design, and personally curated or co-designed each of the many art pieces throughout the house. With a passion for racing and cars, and also for collecting fine wines, the program was going to include dazzling and innovative displays that would be both highly visible and striking artistic statements.

Bighorn

William MacCollum   This project was built adjacent to the Mountain Course in the Bighorn Golf Club, Palm Desert, California, in the foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains. The design of the central living space has formed a theatrical proscenium, framing the desertscape scene of mountains, trees, and sky. William MacCollum   Our client visited the desert frequently growing up, and always wanted a house there. In addition to an indoor/outdoor open feeling, he wanted to see water from every vantage point in the house.   “This is why we not only have the backyard patio that pockets neatly into the fireplace and kitchen, but have created the entryway courtyard, which is really a very large pond. From anywhe... More
