This house designed by Nitsche Arquitetos is organized into seven distinct volumes separated by garden spaces and connected through a covered walkway. The design highlights the use of exposed materials such as concrete, wood, and ceramic blocks, emphasizing constructive logic and natural ventilation. Positioned on a large plot in Jurumirim, the residence integrates indoor and outdoor environments through a modular layout and simple, functional forms.
Due to the large dimensions of the plot, the project designed by Garden Spaces was conceived from the outset as a sprawling single-story house, composed of separate volumes divided by small gardens and connected by a covered circulation path. Photography by André Scarpa.

In the heart of a bustling city, a serene tree-lined avenue inspired architect Raz Melamed’s design for an apartment nestled within the urban landscape of Tel Aviv. A couple in their 50s acquired a shell-stage apartment with a rooftop, intended for themselves and their grown sons who had left home. They requested a guest area separate from the bedrooms, a study, and a guest room with a bathroom that could also serve as an independent facility. Additionally, they desired a large pool and a utility kitchen alongside the main kitchen. Photography by Amit Geron.

Evening in Istanbul designed Sandbox Studio® is a richly textured exploration of materiality and individuality, celebrating curved elements, colour, and collaboration. Inherently inspired by the architectural legacy of Morocco and Turkey, the home embraces key forms such as arched thresholds and organic lines, softening transitions and imbedding character. A muted base materiality serves as a foundation for bold accents elements – artworks, ceramics, and objects – layering personality throughout. Moving beyond the conventional white box, the residence celebrates curves, colour, and texture, shaped by a design-impassioned client and their own vision for a home that would feel both eclectic, yet authentic to them.

That quote from Gabriel García Márquez, beyond describing the architectural aesthetics of the 19th and early 20th centuries, remains a relevant depiction of various rural and urban contexts in present-day Colombia. Without a doubt, Barichara and its surrounding areas are among those contexts, representing a construction and architectural industry that will remain indefinitely “suspended in time.” The Colombo-colonial architectural style has an inherent beauty, yet it is often restrictive as a method of contemporary spatial experimentation, especially in extreme topographies.
