One block back from the surf break at Moffat Heads, on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, this compact (75m² internal area) home inhabits the rear of a classic beach shack. Inspired by our clients' passion for camping, entertaining, and being outdoors, Moffat Morphing House was conceptualised as a sustainable, small-footprint house for a couple to enjoy in their semi-retirement. 

The Quintas do Lago Praia dos Coqueiros project arises from the relationship between architecture, nature, and urbanism. The initial challenge was to create a club that valued the view of the lagoon without obstructing that landscape with the building. The solution was an architectural design in two levels. On the upper level, a linear plaza with a lookout extends from the sidewalk, guiding users towards the lagoon. On the lower level, the communal spaces — gourmet deck, party room, game room, gym, playroom, pantry, and restrooms — connect to a large organic infinity pool.

The village center itself consists of public buildings, such as the library, town hall, and old school. The campus is located on the edge of the center, facing the typical urbanism of family houses. The program of both phases of the school extension generates large volumes, which contrast with the scale of family houses. The immersion of the mass into the terrain reflects the intention to minimize the volume in contact with those tiny structures and maximize the free green area in front of the south facades.

House Meriportti is a sheltered home located near the seaside, designed by an architect for their family. The site is situated close to a picturesque and lively old harbour area. True to its name, House Meriportti serves as a gateway to the sea for its residents. The building itself creates a sheltered courtyard, protected from sea winds and storms by enclosing it on three sides.

At a time when satellites orbit the planet, submarine cables sustain the global flow of data, and algorithms organize everyday life, a question emerges within architecture: at what scale are we actually designing today?

For the past nine years, the city of Kozhikode has come together to celebrate the Kerala Literature Festival (KLF). The festival unfolds across four days against the dramatic backdrop of the Arabian Sea. KLF draws over 5 lakh visitors, transforming the coastline into a vibrant cultural landscape. With Germany being the guest nation this year, it opened a unique opportunity to reimagine the deep-rooted relationship between Germany and Kerala.

The global offsite construction market—encompassing modular, precast concrete, and hybrid prefabricated systems—was valued at USD 172 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 225.7 billion by 2030 (CAGR 4.9–8%). In the UAE, government targets call for 25–30% offsite content in public projects by 2030; the UK currently leads globally, with 15–20% of housing using offsite solutions. Offsite manufacturing is increasingly promoted as the sustainable future of construction, with benefits including reduced waste, accelerated delivery, and improved quality control.

Observed annually on April 7, World Health Organization's World Health Day draws attention to global health priorities while situating them within broader environmental and societal contexts. Established following the first World Health Assembly in 1948 and observed since 1950, the day has evolved into a platform for addressing the shifting conditions that shape health, from local systems of care to planetary-scale challenges. The 2026 edition, held under the theme "Together for health. Stand with science," calls for renewed engagement with scientific knowledge as a basis for collective action. The year-long campaign emphasizes collaboration in protecting the health of people, animals, plants, and the planet, foregrounding the One Health approach as a framework fo

In the center of Nantes, the transformation of the former army barracks known as the Caserne Mellinet reflects contemporary urban challenges. Situated at the entrance of this neighborhood composed of six hamlets, the flats completed by Ramdam and Palast are part of the Chapus hamlet. This hamlet is the transitional urban feature linking the Saint-Donatien neighborhood and the heart of the barracks complex. Whilst respecting the intention of urban planners to create a coherent identity between the two areas, the project is first and foremost part of a powerful construction ambition of a wooden structure and mineral façades composed of plastered hempcrete.

Paris's 19th arrondissement Parc de la Villette is undergoing a major transformation, combining a newly opened urban farm with restored biodiversity as part of a strategy to adapt the 55.5-hectare park to climate change. Masterplanned by Bernard Tschumi in 1982 and opened to the public in 1987, the park stands as a landmark of European modernism in public space design, breaking from the traditional concept of the metropolitan park. With a 15,000-square
