A young couple decides to leave the city and migrate to a maisonette in the woods, in the northern suburbs of Athens, in Agios Stefanos. The aim of Kipseli Architects is to facilitate and balance this upcoming move, since the owners’ desire for the renovation of their new home in the woods, was to reflect memories from their lives in the city.

Foamcrest Apartments is a project designed by Richard Cole Architecture. On a difficult triangular site in the coastal suburb of Newport on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Foamcrest Apartments is a form generated from the unique site. A composition of glazed bricks, off form concrete and sandstone, materials selected for their durability and appropriateness for the ocean side location, the seven apartments are 100% adaptable and differentiated by unique plans. With two prominent street fronts and a central lobby that is open to the sky, the design carefully balances solar access, privacy and outlook. The form emphasises a low profiled horizontality that is generally well below the height limit. The character of the building provides a fresh and contemporary contribution to the locality.

The O&A London team took great care in designing this spacious two-bedroom apartment for a family of three in St. Petersburg, Russia. The space was quite unusual: located on the top floor of a historical building featuring slanted ceilings and attic windows. The client, a family of three, had previously worked with our studio. The pre-existing knowledge and understanding of their requirements and priorities meant, that the work on the apartment could commence early on and be completed relatively swiftly. The client had contacted Oleg and Anna at the time of purchase of the apartment, fully trusting the designers’ opinions and experience. Photography by Eugene Kulibaba.

Queen of the Desert is a project designed by Tzvia Kazayoff. What’s beautiful about renovation is the ability to take a disproportionate project; an old 3-bedroom apartment, 130 sqm with a 124 sqm balcony, and transform it into an amazing penthouse sized at 195 sqm with a proportional balcony of 60 sqm. See what interior designer Tzvia Kazayoff did for a family, a couple plus three children, in Be’er Sheva, Israel. The renovation, including city approvals, took months, but the result is more than worth it. Photography by Amit Gosher.
What happens when the staircase is located in the center of the apartment?
A general renovation of an existing apartment in central Tel Aviv for a couple with three young children. The apartment designed by Studio Bar Gil Kon occupies an entire floor in a preserved building, merged from two apartments into one. Consequently, it was initially constructed and arranged in a way that didn’t allow for family expansion or changes. The building’s staircase is positioned in the center, surrounded by the apartment on all sides. Due to alterations in the apartment’s layout, the building’s windows were also adjusted internally using gypsum cladding for the new design without affecting the building’s façade.
