The smallest unit constituting society
This is a renovation project of an office own by two persons. In this space two people share their time, can be considered to be the smallest spatial unit in society. We created a unit space filled with many options. The office is a small space of 28 square meters, segmented, creating a number of different situations. If that is the case, while having a personality where there is a place, we aim at the state related to separation. We expanded the small place and the whole, and also made the appropriate balance.
The design goal of the 85 Union renovation was to take an existing underwhelming building form, located on one of the most important iconic corners in downtown Memphis, and reveal with elegant clarity the underlying rhythm and structure of both the new building and its inhabitants.

The disused building of a former school was transformed to house a cozy hotel with a restaurant and a multifunctional space on the ground floor.
The existing situation with the highly vertically structured building was upgraded to add a significant volume at the south eastern building corner, calming the building structure and also tangibly increasing the presence of the school in the context of the village through its aesthetics. The existing colors and materials were referenced, and the scale and suitability were maintained.
The stone constructions of Quinta de Vilar, then denominated, go back to the middle 40’s and the beginning of the 50’s. At that time the owner’s house was built, followed by the adjacent buildings destined for farming: the cellar building for the production of wine, and buildings for petting, drying and storage of cereals and fruit.

MOKA is a renovation project of a little chalet in Yvonand, a touristic village on the south shore of the lake of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The area is very natural and intensively wooded, inhabited by approximatively 3’000 people. While in summer the wild beaches become crowdy and the sun brings life to this tiny place, in winter everything gets darker and mystic. The fog and the cold humid wind alternate to create a less comfortable environment and exposes the constructions to difficult conditions.
“My design agenda for the Bo Bartlett Center was how to make the architecture support Bo’s artwork and legacy. This may seem strange coming from an architect, but my hope is that the architecture disappears and Bo’s work is what lights the place up.” –Tom Kundig, FAIA, RIBA, Design Principal
The project arises from the need of rehabilitating a semi-detached house, integrated in an economic neighbourhood and built in the second half of the 1950s.
