Located in the central lot of Zac Chandon-République Gennevilliers, the 91-unit mixed-housing project faces the park. The orthogonal plan adopts a relatively simple and sober organization that gives a particular identity to the place, dividing the project into six volumes of different heights, linked together by glass walkways.

This townhouse in Shenzhen used to be a completely different look. The colonial-style and complicated decoration that was popular in a certain era in China, is no longer fit for current life. The owner of the house, a rational and logical lawyer, after experiencing the ‘past tense’ living experience for a short time, decided to invite KiKi ARCHi to do a renovation, and create a relaxed and free-living environment for his family.

The project concerns the creation of a new residence on an existing plot in a small settlement, just outside the city of Heraklion. The needs and experiences of the two owners, as well as the morphology and orientation of the study area, led us to the design of a stone-built undercut residence with a swimming pool and underground spaces.

In an area of over 5,000 sqm, where an abandoned shopping center used to be, we created the new Olist office. Our starting point was to look at the problem: A very segmented floor plan due to the building's structure of two existing towers. To minimize this, we created volumes that embrace these structures and house all the private offices and meeting spaces. In addition, this core volume facilitates the reading of the project and the room itself. There are three floors in the offices. On the lower floor, with little natural light, the solution was to bring in an illuminated flower pot measuring more than 60m. The lamps simulate daylight, making the environment more pleasant and humane.

Designed with sustainability, low maintenance and natural ventilation in mind, OURHOUSEWANDAL is a low budget, family home with a difference. Having ravelled extensively and become accustomed to using minimal space wisely, the young family client wanted their first family home to reflect their love of the great outdoors and have a natural, rural feel, despite being located in a well-established Rockhampton suburb.
