The Municipal Environmental School 15 de Outubro Mayor Firmino Filho, established in the Northern Zone of Teresina (PI), is integrated into the João Mendes Olímpio de Melo City Park and serves as an educational facility closely linked to the territory. Developed in partnership between the Federal University of Piauí and the Municipal Government, it was designed to accommodate 1,000 students in a full-time program, incorporating principles of environmental education, climate comfort, and integration with the landscape from its inception. More than just a school building, it proposes a spatial experience where architecture, nature, and collective use continuously interact, enhancing urban space and strengthening the relationship between public infrastructure and the environment.

Named Mitte - German for "center"-this project marks the second collaboration with our long-standing clients, the Pavlenko brothers, Artem and Mykhailo. Located on Kniazia Romana Street in the historic core of Lviv, the venue occupies a space with a layered history: formerly a residential apartment, later a barbershop, and now reimagined as a modern city café. While the previous venue of the same name was the brothers' debut, this project serves as a "Mitte 2.0." Effectively, this signifies the organic expansion of the network: the first location operates within a new residential development on Knyahyni Olhy Street, while this second outpost anchors the city center. Separated by three years, the two venues differ in menu but are united by a philosophy of spatial compactness and a shared approach to service.

Set within the Rhine Valley near St. Gallen, this three-storey detached house explores how contemporary domestic architecture can combine spatial clarity, prefabricated timber construction, and low-impact building strategies within a compact footprint. Conceived as a family home for four, the project responds to a constrained triangular site close to the historic village center, where scale, orientation, and privacy were carefully negotiated.

Over the years, cinema architecture has continually reinvented itself. From cinematic experiences that engage multiple senses to material technologies that reinterpret the aesthetics of past eras, the concept of the movie theater has enabled the recovery, revitalization, and renewal of numerous obsolete, ruined, or even historically protected spaces. Just as the Majestic Cinema reflects an important community function in Zanzibar, Tanzania, many twentieth-century buildings have found in adaptive reuse an opportunity to restore and preserve cultures, memories, and traditions that remain meaningful to their communities.

On December 28, 2025, MIXC VILLAGE, the first premium outlet project under China Resources Group, officially opened in Dongguan Binhaiwan New District. PILLS was responsible for the planning and design of its core atmospheric installations, transforming it into a visual landmark for the island-like commercial space, while enhancing the depth of spatial experience through systematic scenography and IP storytelling.

The Rome City Council has approved a Memorandum for the urban regeneration of the Depositi delle Vittorie in Piazza Bainsizza, a former ATAC depot in Rome dating back to the early 1900s. Abandoned for nearly two decades and now privately owned, the site is set to be transformed into a multifunctional complex designed by Stefano Boeri Architetti. The project envisions the adaptive reuse of the former transportation infrastructure through the introduction of cultural, educational, commercial, co-working, and leisure functions, alongside new public spaces and extensive landscaped areas.

Set in a classic Tribeca red brick building, once a candy factory from the 1880s, the apartment is one of five in a quiet six-story structure. With 18-foot ceilings, original timber beams, and a large skylight, the space is full of charm and character. Initially, the space felt more like an industrial loft than a home - beautiful in scale, but a little intimidating. Over the course of two years, MA Studio worked on a full gut renovation of the space to reimagine it without compromising its character. The duo wanted to respect the apartment's original bones - the brick, the beams, the open plan - but also introduce softness, warmth, and rhythm. It was important that the space didn't lose its grandeur, but also felt cozy, liveable, and layered.

Following an international design competition launched in January 2026, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Panama (MAC Panamá) announced the selection of Mexican architects Palma + Taller TO to design its new building. The museum is described as "a new cultural infrastructure open to the city, conceived from the identity, climate, and landscape of Panama." The future museum headquarters will be located in the corregimiento of San Francisco, to consolidate the area as a

Modern housing was one of the places where modernism made its boldest promise: that architecture could reshape not only the city, but the way people lived within it. As Argentine architectural historian Ramón Gutiérrez has argued, popular housing is "the great unresolved subject, one that usually does not appear in histories of architecture." In Latin America, this absence is significant. Across the 20th century, expanding cities turned housing into one of the clearest ways to imagine urban change, and modernism entered not only plans and dra
