In Tor de’ Cenci, in the southern suburbs of Rome, a brutalist-inspired apartment overlooking the Castelporziano Nature Reserve finds new breath thanks to the intervention of STUDIOTAMAT.  A renovation project with character, designed for a young couple of lawyers, which materializes in a 120 sqm house with large windows and a 40 sqm equipped terrace that captures the abundant natural light and lets the gaze wander towards the greenery, up to the Roman coast.

His love for the mountains and nature comes from his inclination towards metaphysics and imagination, while his career in construction comes from realism, technology, and logic.

International architecture practice Studio Saar has redeveloped Udaan Park, a community park in Udaipur, Rajasthan, for its not-for-profit client Dharohar. The newly transformed landscape sees an underused, run-down lakeside park evolve into an accessible and inclusive public space. Set on the banks of Swaroop Sagar, one of Udaipur’s seven historic lakes that attract a large number of migratory birds. Udaan is one of the very few public open spaces in the center of the city and on the banks of a lake. The redevelopment is the first park to be completed in Dharohar’s city-wide, community-led initiative, ‘10 Lakh Vriksh’ to revive a series of parks and gardens and to provide more breathable, green spaces for the city and its people.

We faced two challenges: The first was the location and geometrical situation of the site. Unlike ordinary sites, this plot is surrounded by neighbors on four sides. Its only access to the main passage is by two alleys with 3 meters width in the north and south of it. The irregular geometry of the site and heterogeneous angles of neighbors towards the site were among the issues ahead in designing this building.
