The CC House, also known as Quinta dos Carvalhos, is a project that stands out for its profound harmony between architecture and nature. Set on a two-hectare plot in the Leiria region, the house was designed with an unwavering respect for the surrounding environment, where the built structure does not impose itself on the landscape but rather adapts to it. The result is an organic and sensitive integration that transforms the house into a refuge where the natural and the constructed coexist in perfect harmony.

Defining the spatial identity of an overseas brand that deals with delicate fragrances is a profound challenge. In this project, we turned to the philosophy of ‘Daegang (大綱)’. While often used in modern Korean to mean ‘roughly’ or ‘in general,’ the Chinese characters tell a deeper story: 大 (Great) and 綱 (The Main Stay/Head-rope of a Net).

The “beating heart” of the Multnomah County Library system – because it keeps the entire system running – the new Operations Center is essential for effectively managing more than 500,000 catalogue materials and outreach services. This adaptive reuse project transformed a vacant 1995 grocery store into a bustling 73,000-square-foot workplace in vehicle-dominated east Portland. The Operations Center is the first project to meet Multnomah County’s ambitious fossil fuel-free buildings resolution and anticipates LEED Gold certification as well as Living Future Net-Zero Energy certification. The design prominently features more than 600 solar panels that will fully offset the building’s energy use.

This project originated from the basic shape of a country house. A simple pavilion with a gabled roof. From there, we filled in this starting point through the lens of more contemporary and current architecture. The owners’ desire was for a simple, beautiful, and extremely functional design, with a very streamlined architectural program:

The project displants on a regular beachfront estate with twenty linear meters in front of the sea of the Gulf of Mexico and twenty-four meters wide located right at the corner lot, these characteristics established the bases for the design of the project. The house was designed to prioritize the ocean views and seeking for the passing of the winds to provide freshness to the overall space.

The space is conceived as an extension of this spirit, where the act of enjoying coffee is framed through materiality, light, and emotion.
