Projects

Bulevar Residential Building

📍 Spain

Habitat Bulever was therefore conceived as a residential complex laid out around a free space with an urban scale. It forms the quiet and isolated nucleus in which the private life of the development unfolds, similar to how people live not so along ago in corral communal dwellings, like one big family.

Diamond Tree

📍 Italy

The concept develops around an idea of decomposition, subtraction and rotations of volumes, in order to create several ways to perceive the space. The lack of corridors in between the living and night areas suggests a stereoscopic view of a hybrid and fluid space, with no fixed hierarchy and filled by the light coming from a large ceiling window.

Aviației Apartments

📍 Romania

Aviației Apartments comprises a number of 291 studio apartments, two and three rooms, made after a total investment of 17 million euros. The complex is composed of four buildings with six floors, gathered around an interior courtyard of 1,000 sqm where green spaces, playground and areas dedicated to the relaxation and socialization of the residents are arranged.

Toya House

📍 Romania

The Toya House is designed on an archetypal structure, with the ridge roof, just as it appears in children’s drawings when they are small. The organic beauty of this house is rendered by the small details of integration in context and inspires the idea of community in which the neighbors know each other.

Villa Marie House

📍 Austria

Villa Marie is situated on a south orientated slope in the alpine foothill region of Upper Austria, which is characterized by soft hills and splendid views to the alps. The design focuses on two aspects, a bungalow concept organizes all rooms on one level around a central living area and the west orientated veranda terrace.

E+E House

📍 Romania

The E+E House on one level, with its own courtyard to which the spaces open, enriching the visual connection of each room with access to the exterior, maintaining a discreet relationship with the street front.

One Verdi Park

📍 Romania

The residential area of the project includes a total of 134 apartments and 451 parking spaces distributed in the three underground levels, as well as the arrangement of green spaces that will add up to a total area of at least 30% of the land surface. One Verdi Park that concentrates facilities and benefits in a single concept: premium and luxury apartments, Class A offices, retail and green spaces.

Estoria City

📍 Romania

Estoria City extends Bucharest with a new district by mixing the residential area which will include 1200 homes, retail and valuable supplements such as common leisure, connection areas, green areas, community projects and many more.

Colina Nouă

📍 Cluj-Napoca, Romania

Colina Nouă is a place where wellness is a daily activity, a place where people are attracted by gardening, cooking, culture, art, sports and by the spontaneous conversations carried over the green fence behind the garden.

Central District 4 Elements

📍 Romania

Central District 4 Elements will be developed on a land of 4,600 sqm and will comprise 194 apartments in two buildings. On the roof of one of the blocks, a 120-meter long runway will also be arranged.

Casa GG

📍 Romania
