A home is more than structure; it is a tapestry of memory. We design private villas and urban spaces where raw materials age with grace, creating a living connection between your daily life and the environment.

The central staircase of the Brick House is a non-linear journey through the home. Its sharp, geometric forms in black pigmented plaster create a powerful contrast with the warmth of the exposed brick walls.

In the Brick House, we created moments of connection between different levels. A view from an upper corridor looks down into a living space, framed by raw concrete and brick, under a skylight that bathes the interior in natural light.

The entrance foyer of the Brick House sets a contemplative tone. Fluted concrete walls, black stone flooring, and strategically placed brickwork create a rich textural experience, animated by light from the staggered windows above.

The facade of Project 58 is a living entity, with lush greenery cascading over a screen of custom terracotta blocks. This design embodies our philosophy of creating porous architecture that breathes with its landscape.

At Project 1374, a private terrace extends from the living room, blurring the boundary between inside and out. The design borrows trees from the street, integrating them into the home's narrative and creating a secluded, green sanctuary.

About Private Residences: A Dialogue with Materials

We build physical scale models for every project, allowing us to study how light and shadow move across materials like brick and lime plaster before we break ground. It ensures that your home is not a static image, but a space that breathes and evolves with the time of day.
