The renovation project dealt with an apartment with unique characteristics: a covered area shaped in a narrow, linear and irregular geometry surrounded by balconies on its three sides. In order to take advantage of the strong presence of these backyards, the project sought to build a house on top of a building. The intervention used the extension locations of this continuous balcony to define the internal programs – seeking to identify the best way to establish dialogues between interior and exterior: next to the unit’s access and connected to the wider section of the balcony, the kitchen and living room are configured. Of being; near the corner and overlooking the Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish, a water tank and external seating area are installed, which is associated with the apartment’s main bedroom; and finally, in the more regular geometric extension of the balcony and facing north, the laundry room, second bedroom and guest bathroom are located.
At the foot of the historic village of Monsanto, nestled in the hills, stands a discreet luxury retreat that exudes new life in a place once poetically described as an “island in the sky.” BODE, remaining true to the original designation of the property, perfectly embodies the character and spirit of this region of Portugal.

“Les pinyes del Cabanyal” is the intervention in a two-story single-family home built in 1924, whose facade, ornate and with heritage protection, concealed a floor area of just 50 m2 and whose ventilation was produced by the exchange between the facade openings and a rear chimney. Over the years, it had received minor repairs inside and at the time of receiving the commission, it had been practically abandoned for several years.
Hoi An house renovation project in a new urban area: Cam Ha, the area is quite far from the center of Hoi An Ancient Town. The project focuses on experiencing a new space but still retaining the characteristics of Old Quarter wooden houses. Wooden Houses in Hoi An Ancient Town are under special conservation status by the UNESCO Committee. The Chinese and Vietnamese merchants built houses in the old town from the 17th to the 19th centuries. The house has a brick wall structure and wooden frame constructed and passed down from many generations.
The building was built in the 1990s and is located in an old community next to Yishan Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai. Compared to the surrounding north-south residence, the building has a unique east-west orientation. It is intertwined with these old low-rise neighborhoods and rapidly developing high-rise office buildings nearby, which gives the building a special texture and sense of hierarchy.
Sometimes, you have to choose an alternative path to adapt to changing situations that seem unavoidable. This is a story about dealing with the dreaded situation of design changes while planning a building. The building in question is a yŏnwajo (traditional Korean tiled-roof house) constructed in 1969, originally serving as the residence of the mayor of Yongsan District at the time. Despite its age, the house remains in good condition, resembling the typical black-tiled yŏnwa-jo commonly seen in the area. The design process began with the intention of expansion and remodeling that rivals new construction.
