The Hill House is composed of a 20’ wide x 115’ long stepped platform, a shelter formed by the roof and east wall, and several gabion stone walls. It is sited on a long, narrow, rocky hillside, sloping gently to the south and steeply to the east and west. The building reads and lives like a habitable landscape, adapting to the changing seasons and needs of its occupants. In short, this is a modest,...
Benjamin Garcia Saxe used the inspiration of the forest to design his ‘Bamboo House’ in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The house inverts the role of the forest by bringing it inside the house. An internal patio provides space for functions to rotate about. The house is divided into two living modules, one private bedroom and one public kitchen/living area.
This first building (the second is to be built later this year) is part of a newly built neighbourhood where we designed a number of individual dwellings earlier. The design for the apartment buildings departs from a reinterpretation of typical commercial warehouses. Fully clad in aluminium, both buildings distinguish themselves by their vivid colour and specific treatment of the facades.
In 2009, this concept for an apartment complex was the winning entry by Slovenian OFIS Arhitekti in an invited competition. The main request was to develop 100 quality housing units with terraces surrounded by green. The concept proposes three enclosed islands starting from layout of typical house with garden in the area. Apartment village is formed from individual houses with gardens and furthermore...

Sculptured in wood and fitting in with the topography of the orchards, this house reminds the world of a hangar and of a barn. It also preserves the rural characteristics of the surroundings and the organisation of the surface area around the positioning of the space it follows the distinctive typology of a farmhouse. Highlighting the different components of the site, the Jura, the village cemetery,...
This comprehensive house alteration was in response to the clients’ growing need for space and a desire to reverse an existing plan that was contrary to the site conditions. Retaining only the subfloor structure, the ground floor was re-planned to bring sun, light and views into the living areas. The new upper level provided the additional space for 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and storage. The simple...
On a very small site of 33 square meters of frontage 3.3m / 10m deep, I planned a building of frontage 2.7m / about 9m deep. I draw the biggest curve on there with width and depth of a building, I distributed a place of a roof and a place of a sky with the curve. And I planned the stairs which went up from the first floor to the second floor with this curve. The main space of the building which these...
This building seems to belong to such nature objects as mountains and clouds. It is made from soft geometry, which will not arise from the figures like quadrangles and circles. By continuously operating innumerable polygon mesh points, we have determined the shape that clears the conditions such as the consistency as shell construction and the undulations that ward off rainwater in spite of its free...
