The reduction in height and the surface area of the slab intensify the horizontal view; accentuating the relationship with the exterior space and the horizon (the observer's line of sight is close to the slab, reducing the angle of elevation). The three public programs of this level (living - dining - kitchen) are located on each of the three sides of the amoeba and are resolved as three recessed circles.

The 6500m2 plot of land is characterized by a steep slope of 20 meters in height (20% gradient). One of the main objectives of the project was to create a horizontal plane that would allow for inhabiting this slope. A large podium that allows for inhabiting and highlighting the force of the landscape; nature, the ocean view, and the sunsets.

Located in Tulum, on a square plot of 2,500 m², Naboa was conceived with the premise of creating a project where architecture and landscape converge in an atmosphere of relaxation and comfort. This intention materializes through pure and orderly geometries that contrast with the pre-existing untamed vegetation. The volumes are arranged around the pool and the tropical garden, which act as the central organizing element of the project. This layout gives the complex an introspective character, creating a microclimate that ensures privacy and fosters the development of a distinct identity. The hotel features 10 rooms, distributed in two different typologies. The ground-floor units follow a horizontal spatial composition that encourages a direct connection with the surroundings through outdoor terraces and indoor-outdoor bathrooms. The upper floor rooms, offer a vertical reading, which includes a double-height social area and two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, resolved through a mezzanine. The result is spacious, well-ventilated interiors that perform adequately in Tulum’s warm and humid climate. The architecture is solid and enclosed when privacy and introspection are required, and open and transparent when visual connections with the landscape and the pool area are desired, especially in spaces with a more social character. The reception area is designed as a linear pavilion with a solid concrete and chukum base, topped by a lightweight wooden roof that appears to float within the jungle. This effect is achieved through slender columns that blend with the surrounding trees.

Vertentes Arquitetura requalified an existing 80 m² building in Capivari, in the countryside of São Paulo, transforming it into a contemporary otolaryngology clinic. The project establishes a strong identity defined by an organic ceramic skin that wraps around the façade.

The Day House in Malvern is the considered reworking of a Victorian residence layered with a significant earlier renovation by architect Nicholas Day. While rich in character, the house had become insufficient in scale and function for family life.

In a peri-central district of Pordenone—an area left on the margins of recent regeneration processes—a linear semi-detached house appeared as a closed body: narrow access, introverted façade, and layers of tertiary additions accumulated over time. The project takes this ordinary fragment of the city as an opportunity to restore measure and dignity to public space, showing how even at the scale of a single home it is possible to spark a virtuous urban transformation

The Yunlu Wetland Museum is located in Yunlu Wetland Park in Shunde, adjacent to an ecological island inhabited by 25,000 egrets.

The Albignasego Auditorium Theatre was born from the ambition to reinterpret the historical memory of the local rural houses through a contemporary lens, translating the texture of their brickwork into a modern cladding that gives the building a strong and recognizable identity. In this way, the architecture not only establishes a dialogue with the surrounding landscape and the scale of the adjacent urban fabric, but also narrates the history of the place through a contemporary language.

Osaka reimagines a narrow, inward-looking structure in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, as a fluid, three-level Pan-Asian restaurant where light, movement, and material unfold in a seamless spatial narrative.

Given a limited budget, the concept of "minimum necessary" is applied to the expression of materials and decorative elements. Plain walls serve as an economical and functional choice, reducing the reliance on artificial lighting by providing natural illumination during the day. The building's orientation, deep eaves, and strategic placement of windows on the façade contribute to the overall concept of comfortable living. Cohesive design of building decorations, orientation, and space is achieved through a complex challenge involving visualization, functionality, and economic considerations.

Incastri reflects Kengo Kuma’s design philosophy, where nature, material integrity, and craftsmanship converge. The collection draws from three traditional Japanese references: Chidori, a modular joinery system using interlocking components; Chozu, the purification ritual centered around water; and Yakisugi, a wood-charring technique that enhances durability and depth. These cultural elements are reinterpreted as architectural volumes, textured surfaces, and minimal tubular structures, emphasizing light, shadow, and material tactility.

The challenge was to create an object that would evoke the imagery of traditional Shepherds’ Shelters, taking advantage of the natural and untamed qualities of the land, which spans nearly 250 hectares.

Across recent architectural discourse, interior design has been centered on how spaces shape psychological and atmospheric experience, and on what gives interior environments their emotional resonance. Attention has shifted toward small details rather than relying primarily on form or structure. Light, for instance, is not only a technical requirement but also an architectural material in its own right. It can structure space, animate surfaces, define textures, and shape atmosphere while influencing well-being. At the same time, the characteristics between minimalism and maximalism shape how atmospheres are perceived, prompting reflection on how approaches to simplicity or exuberance might influence mood. Rather than existing as opposing aesthetics, these tendencies explore how interiors interact with mental states, reflect personal identity, and respond to the subtle shifts in the way people inhabit and experience space. Materiality remains equally central. Surfaces and their honest expression carry weight in shaping interior character. Discussions around material authenticity challenge reliance on decorative layers or synthetic replicas, redirecting attention toward how materials age, how they feel to the touch, and how they build atmosphere over time. Instead of acting merely as finishes, materials operate as carriers of meaning, longevity, and craft. And somewhere between light that sets rhythm, spatial arrangements that quiet the mind or heighten alertness, and materials that record use and age, a quieter question emerges: how do the smallest architectural components participate in this larger atmospheric language? Experiencing Space Through Flexibility: Mix and Match Even seemingly minor components, such as switches, sockets, and control interfaces, reveal their significance when considered through the lens of light, materiality, and atmosphere. A single touch can mediate one of the most influential forces in architecture: light. Through a single interface, direction, intensity, hue, and timing can be adjusted, allowing light itself to shape a room's atmosphere. The physical presence of these components adds another surface to the composition, raising questions of material coherence, authenticity, and visual calm. Brands such as Gira offer a lens into this interplay, where mix-and-match switches, socket outlets, Smart Home devices, and outdoor intercoms create a framework in which these elements adapt to a broader architectural narrative rather than imposing an external style.

Forests are among the most complex yet vital ecosystems on Earth. They regulate climate, support biodiversity, and sustain human communities. With the growing realities of climate change and environmental degradation, architects, planners, and engineers now face a new imperative: designing within forests in ways that sustain the ecosystems on which they depend. When designing within a forest ecosystem, it is critical to move beyond isolating environmental factors as individual climatic events or categories of warming impacts. Effective design must respond to the intricate, interdependent relationships between soil, vegetation, wildlife, and human communities. Poorly executed construction can fragment habitats, degrade soil health, disrupt natural water cycles, and increase vulnerability to wildfires and erosion. The built environment should actively support the forest's health, preserve biodiversity, and enhance resilience in the face of future uncertainties to mitigate risk. Achieving this requires prioritizing both sustainability and adaptability, ensuring that structures remain functional, safe, and attuned to the evolving needs of the ecosystem as climate conditions change. From ventilation strategies and ecological disruption in tropical rainforests to fire resilience in temperate forests and foundation typologies in boreal regions, the following insights highlight how thoughtful, context-driven design can ensure buildings coexist with their surroundings while promoting long-term resilience for people and the ecosystems they inhabit. Through these specific strategies, architecture can adapt to the ever-changing conditions of the forest while minimizing environmental impact and enhancing community well-being.
