The Portola Valley Barn is a dynamic space, separate from an existing main residence, designed for large-scale entertaining as well as relaxation. Reminiscent of the tin-roofed, weathered rural vernacular of the picturesque surroundings, the compound comprises three primary structures—a spacious home office, a home theater and a luxurious guest suite—connected by interstitial entryways containing a kitchen and powder room.

The visualization project is a concept for an isolated residence deep in the Himalayan Mountains, inspired by the form of the mythical dragon and molded-in bold concrete. The structure depicts a peaceful and secluded space in the mountainous terrain, thus highlighting the concepts of tranquility and privacy.

Curtains are a design aspect that may not receive enough attention when designing a home. However, the right choice of these items serves multiple benefits, such as accentuating a living space, providing privacy, and changing light levels. They can also make a room feel significantly larger and cozier while adding texture to a designated living space. 

The new embankment is divided into 2 main zones: 'quiet' and 'active. The 'active' area includes a dog walking area, projecting balconies suitable for fishing, a playground for different ages and a central area for events. The 'quiet' zone is a long promenade on winding bridges among trees with scenic balconies on stilts and secluded places for rest.

This 2,900-square-foot home in Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood was designed for an active couple looking for a strong connection to the outdoors, access to daylight, and a clear open plan. Their goal was to have a modest house within walking distance of neighborhood amenities that creatively solves the puzzle of openness and privacy on an urban lot.

One of the main concerns in this project was to preserve the ground context without damaging the green ground and to preserve the ecology of the living context. Therefore, it was decided to separate the building from its ground and build it with a truss structure at a height.

Choosing what to study is undoubtedly a challenging process. There are many options, and before you make your final decision, you want to be confident you’re following the right path.

A 1250 sq. m house is located on a hill, on the southern coast of Portugal. The architecture, characterized by squatness and the predominance of horizontal lines, harmoniously fits into the environment, almost mimicking it.
