Summerhill Village is a project that carefully crafts a community through design accessibility. It challenges conventional models of social housing by placing community, sustainability, and dignity at the centre of its design.

The project transforms an old house in the Pinheiros neighborhood of São Paulo into a hybrid space that combines an industrial kitchen, a creative studio, and an event area. Completed in 2025, the project was developed for a chef whose work blends authorial gastronomy, artisanal production, and collaborations with major brands.

Frissón is a hybrid cultural space in Rome's Pigneto, designed by On Form Studio — Michele Marincola, Ivan Spadaccini, Giovanni Inglese, and Andrea Signorotto. Conceived as a listening bar, bakery, and cultural platform, the project explores how architecture and interior design can support a contemporary ecosystem centered on music, conviviality, and artistic production.

The conversion of an old commercial space into a dwelling, located in the Barcelona district of El Born, is conceived as an exploration of the void. The project aligns with the spatial conception developed by the master Lao-Tse:

In many high-density cities across Asia, the staircase is often treated as a necessary evil. Whether in apartment buildings, private homes, or retail interiors, it is frequently hidden, tucked away, or pushed to the margins—an element to be minimized so more area can be given to "usable" space. Yet as density intensifies and square footage becomes increasingly scarce, architects and designers are forced to rethink this vertical puzzle.

LPS Residence is located on a large property on the Mornington Peninsula. The new home was designed to occupy the site of the original house that the family had outgrown. The architecture is conceived as 3 individually articulated building forms: the sleeping, living, and dining zones, which are clustered around a central entry courtyard.

Art Paris will return to the Grand Palais from 9-12 April 2026, marking the 28th edition of the fair at the recently renovated landmark. Reopened following its most extensive restoration in over a century, the 77,000-square-meter building, transformed under the direction of Chatillon Architectes, now accommodates large-scale cultural events across its nave and balcony spaces. Bringing together approximately 165 galleries from around twenty countries, the fair is structured around two curatorial themes, lan

The 45th edition of ARCO 2026 takes as its central theme “two spaces within the fair.” Our proposal responds to this duality: on the one hand, a constructed space—the Guest Lounge—and on the other, an evoked space—the forests of the northwestern Iberian Peninsula that burned uncontrollably this past August.

This week, architecture presents new visions of the future across a geographically diverse landscape, with landmark projects and renewal initiatives emerging in Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Bahrain, Germany, Italy, Australia, Morocco, and Burundi. New platforms for discussing urban futures highlight decolonization and the climate crisis as central priorities for contemporary architectural practice. At the same time, contrasting perspectives on urban regeneration are reflected in both the demolition of recent landmark structures and the large-scale transformation of industrial sites. On another note,

At a time of ecological emergency, architecture cannot be separated from the extractive systems on which it depends. As the technosphere expands, linking material flows, energy consumption, and digital infrastructures, design becomes increasingly entangled in these processes. How can design practice intervene in anthropocentric systems and transform the architectural process and aesthetics through an investigation of material intelligence? More broadly, how does architecture engage with the agency and intelligence of non-human entities to rebalance the environmental burden?
