Located in Algarve, on the south coast of Portugal, the proposal takes its cues from the historical and contemporary heritage of the region. The result sees a cloister-like configuration that poetically interplays with the central courtyard, along with landscaped areas and terraces, thus obscuring the boundaries between nature and the built space....

Our culture has been moving towards modernism for a few years. People are transforming not only their clothing but also their living standards. You can see families with head-to-toe contemporary adaptations, and their houses look stylish with modern walls, structures, and furniture.

This is a renovation of a typical Zoute villa with white brick and thatched roof. Though the house had a great charm it was also very dark with very small spaces. Therefore a glass extension with minimal windows was added and spaces were connected in a continuous and more open layout.

Characteristics
The Sirenuse pendant light is inspired by fishing nets and other traditional fishing equipments known in Italy as "nassa". Its appearance resembles that of a floating sculpture and, with its extremely delicate nature and light weight, Sirenuse evokes the images of the fishing nets thrown into the sea. In addition to this, the ceramic net around the light bulb, refracts its light creating extremely suggestive shadows and patterns in the room. The Sirenuse pendant light is built through a very complex and slow process which allows the ceramic coils to shrink and move independently. For this reason, each piece will be unique.
If you still serve your clients using traditional chemical carpet cleaning methods, you are not doing justice to your business. Traditional methods use detergents and chemicals that can squeeze the life out of your client’s carpet and can also cause allergies to their chemical-sensitive family members.
The project is located in the capital of the northwestern Mexican state of Sinaloa. Due to the city’s year-round heat and high levels of humidity, a bioclimatic study was conducted and regarded as a key factor for the architectural design decisions. The home’s direct access to an artificial lake was also a guiding element of the design.
