At the top of a 1970s building, the transformation of a duplex apartment creates a new way of living in the heights. This through-apartment opens generously onto two planted terraces, true outdoor extensions that invite relaxation in the heart of the city. With its clean lines and open volumes, the project reinvents space with an aesthetic inspired by architectural minimalism and Japanese principles.

House in the City is a considered reworking of a crumbling Federation villa in inner-city Adelaide. Designed for a couple retiring from the country, the project preserves the formal front rooms of the original house while introducing a refined, contemporary pavilion at the rear.
The rehabilitation of the Center Dramatique National Nanterre-Amandiers continues the story of a place that has long been emblematic of contemporary French theater, conceived from the outset as a space open to all. At the intersection of the city and the park, the project reaffirms the theater as a place of encounter, creation, and shared experience, deeply rooted in its local context. The architecture supports this evolution through a restrained intervention that reveals and reorganizes the spaces. The existing volumes are preserved and reorganized around a newly recomposed grand hall, the true heart of the theater. Transparency, continuity of movement, and a diversity of spaces help transform the building into a welcoming and permeable place. In this way, Les Amandiers reasserts itself as an open theater, where stage, city, and everyday life come together. The history of the Nanterre Amandiers National Drama Center (CDN) is that of a theater in constant transformation, closely linked to the city’s evolution and driven by a strong artistic and social ambition. Located to the west of Paris, Nanterre is a commune within the Paris metropolitan area that, since the 1960s, has experienced profound urban and social changes. It was in this context that the city became the first to support the project of Pierre Debauche’s company, whose founding intention was to bring to the theater “those who had never been there before.”
The Albuquerque Foundation is a cultural institution located in Sintra, Portugal, dedicated to the presentation and study of Chinese export porcelain and contemporary ceramics.
Kamioka, in Hida City, Gifu Prefecture, is a town shaped by layered histories. Once flourishing with the Kamioka Mine—formerly one of the largest in the East—it has since faced depopulation, aging, and a shortage of successors, conditions now shared by many regional towns in Japan. The client is a company that has long supported everyday life in this area through forest maintenance, hazardous tree removal, specialized logging, snow clearing, civil engineering, landscaping, pest control, and even local festivals. As the organization expanded and a generational transition began, questions about the future of both the company and the region became increasingly urgent.
The conversion of an old commercial space into a dwelling, located in the Barcelona district of El Born, is conceived as an exploration of the void. The project aligns with the spatial conception developed by the master Lao-Tse:

In General Alvear, Mendoza, an old winery stands, whose origins date back to 1924, when its first tanks housed the wine of the Hidalgo family. However, in the late 1970s, after being abandoned, the passage of time and lack of care left the building practically in ruins. In 2015, four decades later, an heir of the family, endowed with artistic and cultural vision, acquired the structure with the purpose of transforming it into his atelier, personal museum, and exhibition hall.
