Mork-Ulnes Architects has just completed a restoration of a Roger Lee-designed home in the Berkeley Hills, honoring its mid-century roots while thoughtfully updating the space for modern living.

The University of Toronto has revealed the design for the Temerty Building, a new facility for health research and education at the heart of the university campus. The project was designed by MVRDV and Diamond Schmitt Architects in collaboration with Two Row Architect. It builds on a previous collaboration between the first two offices at the University of Toronto Scarborough campus, scheduled for completion in late 2026. The project was first introduced in Temerty Medicine's 2018-2023 Academic Strategic Plan and envisions a 36,000-square-metre extension to the university's Medical Sciences Building, includi

Architecture begins as an encounter with gravity. It is the ancient act of placing weight upon the earth, of persuading matter to stand, hold, and shelter. Within this fundamental condition of heaviness, however, lies a quieter possibility: density itself can generate a sense of lightness—a perceptual condition in which the body, fully convinced of matter's weight, begins to experience space as suspension.

Located in São Paulo, the residence, with approximately 520 m² of built area, is organized into three levels and proposes a contemporary interpretation marked by the overlapping of volumes and the careful control of openings.

The site of this project had complex and stringent constraints. Due to various regulations, it was not possible to freely shape the building form, and among these, the most restrictive condition was the setback regulation. As a result, the building naturally recedes as it rises, creating terraces along the way. We considered this a good excuse to persuade the client to create an apartment with terraces. In Korea, balconies are generally assumed to be enclosed and incorporated into the interior space. However, the terraces resulting from the setback regulation are unavoidable.

Societal changes are influencing the composition of offices as well. Woowa Brothers, rapidly adapting to the times, is creating a new future by combining technology with the relationship between nature and people. This attitude is reflected in the office space, leading to a direction that pursues flexible and nature-friendly environments.

A composition of experiences and sensations in dialogue with Mount Fuji — Located on a richly undulating site at the foothills of Mount Fuji, this project consists of a cluster of three private villas. Each building is carefully positioned along a shared axis oriented toward the borrowed scenery of the mountain. While unified by this orientation, the three architectures embody distinct spatial conditions—floating, sinking, and enveloping—through which perception, bodily awareness, and the experience of time are reconfigured.

There are territories where life is organized around water, where light filters through branches, and the vegetation defines how the air moves.

The particularity of our project lies in the versatility of its responses to the program and its adaptation to the site. We treated the cemetery like a public landscaped park, we have developed a symbolic work on the relationship between death and the cosmos, nature, earth, sky, and light.

A small, detached house in an open fjord landscape, surrounded by fields and residential buildings. The homeowner wanted an extension of the house and outdoor areas that were more sheltered from wind and insight from a busy footpath on the seaside of the property.
