The Quarry house is a residence nestled 70 meters above the coastline of the Philippines. Not only is it located in a very remote area, but the entire property is tilted at a 40˚ angle, making conventional construction difficult. So instead of a boxy volume containing the entire program, the architecture divides the core spaces into shared and private villas and then scatters them throughout the site, closely following the existing topography.
Located in Tabanan, Bali, Indonesia, Gua Gua Villa is a villa complex consisting of one unit of 1 bedroom villa and 2 units of 2 bedroom villa. Optimizing the site, the villas are set on linear setup leaving only 6 meters face for 1 bedroom villa and 4 meters face for 2 bedroom villas. Dynamic circulation was created to break the long space. The villas were inspired by Mediterranean Architecture elements which are easily identified through the rough texture on the wall and arch shapes on the curved roof, windows, doors, and other architectural details. The natural plastered texture on the wall and floor is in contrast with the white paint ceiling and perfect arch geometry. Intentionally creating an impression of being in a cave, fixed furniture was designed ‘heavy’ with concrete and stone in an organic shape.

The project is located in a residential neighborhood of Ituzaingó, to the west of Buenos Aires Province. Two mirrored houses are situated on a 12×30 meter lot. A clear pattern is identified in the immediate surroundings. The transition between the street and the interior of the homes is manifested through a sequence of unchanging elements: sidewalk, fence, flower beds, patio, and door.
The building, located in the heart of Porto’s historic center, stands as a testament to the end of the 19th century. Comprised of 5 floors, it is intended for housing on the upper floors and commerce on the upper floor. As the street where it is located (Rua de Mouzinho da Silveira) is perfectly delimited by a continuous urban front and, for the most part, made up of residential buildings with commerce on the ground floor, from this perspective, the rehabilitated building essentially assumes , a role of continuity, contributing to the coherence and quality of the complex, not only from a programmatic point of view, but also in the treatment of the facades.

Context – In Tours, the Jean de la Fontaine school has undergone a complete makeover at the hands of the ALTA agency. Initiated by the municipality at the end of 2020, the call for tenders aimed at the demolition and reconstruction of this establishment built in the 1960s. In the northeast of the city, in a rapidly changing neighborhood, the existing school was part of a complex urban fabric characterized by a great heterogeneity of scales and building types. In addition to making the establishment and its surroundings more legible, ALTA’s project is a true homage to the architectural and natural heritage of the Loire region. The territory of Tours, traversed by the Loire and Cher rivers, is indeed marked by a strong vegetal presence: wooded hillsides, parks and landscaped areas, private and family gardens… This heritage, along with the layouts of the green and blue networks, forms one of the common threads that led the architects throughout this requalification project. Initiated in December 2022, the construction work was completed in April 2024 with the renovation of the existing gymnasium. In collaboration with the FAAR Paysage, landscapers, and new outdoor spaces were designed, combining ecological management and biodiversity enhancement with the intended outdoor uses for the schoolchildren.
