Implanted on a rugged plot of land at the edge of one of the arms of the Ibiúna reservoir, in the interior of São Paulo, Casa CR JL emerges from a careful reading of the topography and the existing landscape. The project begins with an understanding of the steep slope of the lot and the strong presence of water as structuring elements of the architectural proposal. From the outset, a solution was sought that not only adapted to the land but utilized its characteristics as spatial and landscape potential. The residence was designed for a young couple, with the premise of accommodating transformations over time, which led to the adoption of a modular system capable of allowing coherent future expansions. Currently, the house features five suites, a direct result of this progressive growth strategy.

Punta Pite is located between Zapallar and Papudo, about 150 km north of Santiago, Chile. The site, as its name indicates, is a rocky point that juts into the sea. The task was to design a second home for a couple and their three children.

A 360-degree turnstile is the heart of our design, transforming the home into a changing medley of spaces. When closed, the wall blends into a shade of pink. With a slow, dramatic turn, the spaces beyond are revealed. Now, a maroon shelf and its contents are on full display.

About 30 minutes from Lisbon, with a privileged view of the Serra de Sintra, a project for a single-family dwelling of 420 m² is being developed, distributed across two floors above ground and a basement.

Hidden in the rich tropical vegetation of southern Haiti, the project consists of a community centre for the rural community of Bercy-Cavaillon, as well as the office of the local farmers’ association APTEKKA. This is the only shared facility in this remote area, conceived as a place for training, cultural events, collective gatherings, and rest.

From a landfill to Vergel in the desert. Parque Esmeralda is located in the piedmont of Copiapó city, Northern Chile. The Park is in one of the last peripheral social housing developments on the north side of this town, at the border with the Atacama Desert.

An unusually described program by Pablo, a rich enumeration of atmospheres and sensations in which to dwell, a terrain still to be chosen from a possible list. Thus begins the commission for this house. Pablo envisioned diverse exteriors that manifested the temporality of the seasons of the year, of their domestic landscapes; exteriors possible to be seen from the different spaces of the house. Living should be a spatial, sensory experience of discovery.

Bao Loc House is a small residence located in the suburban area of Bảo Lộc, where the characteristics of an agricultural rural landscape remain largely unaffected by urbanization. The site is situated on gently sloping terrain leading to a river, providing favorable natural conditions for creating a living environment closely integrated with the surrounding landscape.

Earthboat Cave is a small timber accommodation quietly embedded in the lakeside forest of Shirakabako. The project was developed under the concept of “nature escape,” an Earthboat philosophy that allows people to escape dense urban life and reconnect with nature in a calm environment.

In the heart of Marmilla, architect Martino Picchedda transforms the village’s main entrance into a poetic urban threshold. The design evokes the timeless forms of the Giants’ Tombs while celebrating the Sardinian landscape’s identity through corten steel, local stone, and light. Here, history and contemporary design converge, creating a welcoming space that tells the story of place and people. From the sidewalk to the parking area/town entrance, the project invites a walk with a view of the landscape beauties of Marmilla, transforming a peripheral route into a true story of welcome. Corten steel, local stone, and light become the three key elements that intertwine memory, identity, and landscape, welcoming arrivals and offering at the same time a sign of recognition.
