Broken Diamond House was born from the fragmentation of a pure form until reaching a formal module with which it is played from generating interior spaces that are connected by double and triple struts.

F- Loulos Villa is located at a plot with unique view in Divounia, two hills that emerge from the Aegean Sea, like a part of Aphrodite’s body, the ancient goddess of love and beauty. The house is totally inspired by the natural and wild side of Mykonos and attempts to bridge locality with the contemporary summer living.

Buying a house is a big decision and a huge step in your life. Deciding to buy a house means you’re finally ready to settle and own your house, where many beautiful memories will be made. Making this decision is only the first step of the long yet exciting journey towards homeownership.

Walls and fences are typically used to keep people and areas separate, but at the Desert Botanical Garden an unusual series of structures actually brought people together. We combined wood, concrete, steel, stone and block to create a variety of richly textured and highly functional separators that both physically divided and visually connected ope...

Characteristics
The Balance chair is worked in wood, with a line that aims for a relaxed sitting posture with the perfect inclination of the back and the seat. It has a solidity rooted in the position of its feet, forming a triangle that endows it with total stability. This in no way sacrifices its lightness, and the position of the chair can easily be changed with a soft and silent movement. The Sensato table is formed by setting two materials against each other—wood and marble or granite—to achieve the refinement and elegance demanded by the standout piece of furniture in a dining room, one of the most important rooms in the house. The wooden base supports a rectangular surface with rounded corners, large enough to seat up to six people.

This vaulted arch structure does wonders by creating this monolithic space, in this case the living room & continues to arch over the pool. Breaking through the regular internal heights, here we have played with a little extra ceiling height for the grandeur.

Ah, the kitchen—presumably that one spot in your home where you spend most of your time. It's one place in the house where you can prepare and cook good food, incorporate your sophisticated taste, and spend time with family and friends. How you style your kitchen somehow reflects your overall taste as a homeowner.

Mato house emerges at the end of a Cul de Sac, in a trapezoidal Lot that ends in a big curve in front of the lake. Right from the beginning, the client’s wish was for the house to receive as much sunlight as possible.
