The Dutch client wanted his house to be in close contact with the water channel that runs alongside his plot and connects it to the Mar Menor. The area is called Veneziola, and is quite Dutch in essence, low-lying, with water all around.

Part of a 1925 villa in the center of Bucharest that now hosts a group of offices from different creative industries, this 125 sqm (gross area) apartment was designated as a hub for meeting spaces. The brief was quite simple, yet elusive, which turned the whole process into a very organic and fluid one.
