Small Living
An important aspect of compact living is the idea of making small spaces appear large. The challenge is to make small rooms appear spacious.
One strategy is to design the space in order to bring the outside into the inside, the outside surroundings are part of the daily routines. Another is to play with different levels, creating a sequence of spaces, playing with the proportions and perception of scale so the space seems larger than it actually is.
Adaptative Reuse
A transformative design approach that offers a way to give new life to empty historic buildings for the benefit of the community. The concept is to renew culturally significant sites that would otherwise be left to decay or demolished, allowing us to create unique and beautiful architecture while maintaining our heritage.
Take a look at our proposal for the competition in Portugal, the “Old Abrantes Market” into a new Multipurpose space. This project is part of our ongoing research on “adaptative reuse” architecture.
Ruins & Architecture
Would you invest in a ruin?
Millions of clicks on the internet, billion-dollar business just in one city.
Ruins have long had a halo, wafting the aura of sustainability and historic preservation onto redevelopment projects. Changing the perspective we can create huge value where there was nothing before.
Uncertainty
Uncertainty may be the essence of a creative process. Designing is learning, nobody knows everything from the start.
Imagine a set of possible futures, will help to eliminate a binary view of decision making while removing the temptation to wait until you have enough information in front of you to start planning. Challenge your existing assumptions and evaluate how well you think each might hold up in each imagined future.
Escape
Stylish yet relaxed, hidden away in the back, set in a dreamy site with outstanding views. It is the sort of bucolic retreat that can be hard to come by in the mainstream tourist actual scene.
Want to spend your time outside, either on the shady terrace by the pool, where meals and drinks are served in the warm weather, or down on the private beach area where platforms built on the dark rocks are holding big white umbrellas.
