UNI-CENTER project renovates Hanyang University’s existing Student Union, located along the main pedestrian axis connecting the subway station, the main building, and the welfare center, into a welfare-centered, multi-functional community hub for students. The design goes beyond simple functional enhancement—it restores the building’s sense of place and redefines it as a central node within the campus circulation network.
Every architectural project is shaped by a unique story. At Estúdio HAA! we believe that spaces should reflect the personal rhythm and intentions of those who inhabit them and Refúgio Mirzé is a direct response to that principle.

Set close to a small harbour, Lakeshore Barn House is shaped by restraint and clarity, drawing from the familiar silhouette of rural barns to sit naturally within the small lakeside village. The simple cross- shaped layout establishes a central axis that opens uninterrupted views through the house in both directions, strengthening the connection between landscape and interior.
To fully know a city’s architectural heritage, one must look beyond its designated sites and iconic buildings. For many, understanding a city’s urban fabric and what makes it tick also means discovering the smaller-scale, locally appreciated, conserved buildings and popular gathering spaces. This is especially true when considering bustling Vietnamese cities, with their peculiar architectural characteristics, which can only be appreciated when learning about their many inspirations and historic layers, combining traditional Vietnamese motifs, modernism, local materiality, and climatic design solutions, but mostly by learning about the site constraints that are addressed through the implementation of the narrow tube houses and low-rise buildings.
Casa Loredo is the second single-family project in the series called “New Vernacular Architecture of the Cantabrian Coast” (NAVC). Located in the Cantabrian town that gives it its name, this house seeks to reinterpret the traditional techniques of the region, adapting them to contemporary needs.
Some types of work only become visible when they are no longer done. They are discrete, repetitive, rarely celebrated, yet they quietly sustain the functioning of any operation. In architecture, this dimension rarely appears in the images that circulate.

Yet the layer that supports these formal gestures is not found in the image, but in specification, detailing, and documentation.
