The restaurant renovation project is organized around a central wall that structures the space and guides circulation.

Haus W is located on a steep slope defined by exposed geological strata. From the outset, the site was understood not only as a constraint but as a formative parameter. The local geology, consisting of limestone and quartz belonging to the Säntis Range, with its grain and dark tonal variations, informed both the spatial organisation and the material expression of the building.

"Coffee or tea?" is one of those phrases that follows you across contexts: asked on airplanes, after a meal, in hotel lounges, and in meeting rooms. It sounds like a small question—mere preference, a quick fork in the service script. Yet it also carries a quiet cultural inheritance. Tea arrives with the long history of ritual and domestic pacing, tied to older geographies of trade and everyday etiquette. Coffee arrives with a different lineage of

Recent events have given a much-needed boost to downtown Nicosia. Street life is being encouraged, the vehicle discouraged, and the built environment is undergoing a general upgrade. It is rising from the ground. Leaving the ground. To date, there are only a couple of designs that have taken on the new scale now permitted. The Excelsior Labs tower is one of them. A rich programme is neatly distributed across its vertical volume, sometimes effectively kept from sight through a curtain wall façade, sometimes making an appearance through severe and delightful breaks in the rising edifice.

On the urban landscape, architecture is never an isolated entity, but rather a spatial vehicle that engages in a profound dialogue with its site, its people, and the spirit of the city. It has long transcended its physical functions to become a vessel containing the city's soul. Located in Qinghe Town, Haidian District, Beijing, the INNNG International Talent Community is a vivid embodiment of this philosophy. The design of its architecture stems precisely from the unique characteristics of the INNNG project site in Haidian, Beijing—a uniqueness born from comprehensively addressing various boundary factors. This multifaceted residential project for young people not only confronts the challenges posed by the special terrain and complex urban environment but also, through an architectural form that "embraces and coexists," creates a vibrant landmark that stimulates innovation, fosters interaction, and integrates into the city.

Built from earth and shaped by climate, this residence in Hosur reinterprets traditional construction techniques through a contemporary architectural lens, where material, structure, and space are inseparable.

Human Haus TN transforms a traditional townhouse in Tainan into a contemporary retail space driven by architectural sequence. Responding to the existing structure through minimal intervention, the design preserves exposed brick walls, timber roof framing, and the original proportions of the townhouse while inserting a crisp white volume as a new spatial layer. Selective removal of ceilings and walls reveals the original structure, allowing the building itself to be read as a temporal section.

Our inspiration was the strength of the natural landscape and the architecture of Vanja Hertcert, which already showcased the grandeur of concrete and wood as fundamental marks. The interior was conceived as a connecting link: a space where Brazilian authorial furniture, natural materials, and neutral tones create a welcoming atmosphere without interfering with the original architectural experience.

The Rausing Science Centre is carefully stitched into The King's School's historic estate within the precincts of Canterbury Cathedral.

On the edge of a small village near Klatovy, Czech Republic, next to a forest and overlooking the mountain horizon, stands a family home that sensitively responds to the character of the landscape. The building is set into sloping terrain, which reduces its visual profile and naturally protects the lower floor. The result is a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views, providing its residents with plenty of privacy while allowing them to be in close contact with nature.
