Designed on a landlocked plot interwoven within an urban fabric composed of small houses, distinguished residences, and a few collective buildings, this single-family home proposes an approach to site occupation that departs from the usual concepts of either a mineral monolith set at the centre of the parcel or a frontage aligned directly with the street.
The new extension to the De Nova secondary school illustrates how architecture can embody innovative approaches to learning. The existing educational campus—comprising a kindergarten, primary school, and secondary school, alongside facilities for music and arts education—had evolved over decades. What began as a cluster of pavilions from the 1950s and 1960s, with further additions in the 1970s and 1980s, had become a fragmented ensemble lacking overall cohesion.
Rather Two, an intimate 80-square-meter apartment in Bucharest, is a home shaped as much by emotion and memory as by design. Realized by architects Anca and Kelvin, the project emerges from a reflection on two distinct yet equally influential cultures: Anca’s Romanian heritage, rooted in symbolism and lush landscapes, and Kelvin’s Angolan origins, shaped by rituals and earthy terrains. These cultural narratives became the guiding path for the apartment’s color palette, materiality, and spatial choreography.
The Simone Veil School Group in Vertou is a new educational facility bringing together two schools within a single, unified structure: an eight-class kindergarten at ground level and a twelve-class elementary school above. The project emerges from a strong dialogue with the site and from a clear ambition to create a reassuring, generous learning environment.

KCAP’s design made Sibeliuspark more compact, vibrant, and attractive through the introduction of integrated housing, diverse park programs, and varied topography and planting. Several housing projects in and around the park create a vibrant community, while a variety of new programs reactivate the space for people of all ages and abilities—from local neighbors to visitors from across the city and region. The project features a nature-inclusive, climate-adaptive environment that integrates over 400 new trees, diverse programming for all ages, and integrated housing developments. The Urban Ox Park, featuring a skatepark, pumptrack, and calisthenics park, now serves as the beating heart of the renewed Sibeliuspark.
Located in the inner courtyard of an early 20th-century apartment building, the project contributes to the contemporary condition of densifying the city from within. Positioned in a hidden, inner urban courtyard, the project reinterprets the traditional European Stadthaus, introducing a form of living that balances density, sustainability, and spatial quality.
Constructed on historic foundations of Soviet-era military units to safeguard the Baltic coastal dune habitats as one of the world’s most vulnerable marine regions, this seaside residence introduces an alternative path of sustainable architecture. The site was discovered with four grass-covered and timeworn military bunkers, now transformed into one main home and two guest houses for a family of three generations.
The Reef at King’s Dock reimagines waterfront living through the idea of an Urban Village, creating a human-scale residential environment along Singapore’s southern waterfront. Winner of the MIPIM Asia Silver Award for Best Residential Project 2025, the development sits at the historic King’s Dock in Keppel Bay, forming a gateway to the Greater Southern Waterfront and mediating between maritime heritage and contemporary living. Direct connections to HarbourFront MRT, VivoCity, Sentosa, and the Southern Ridges anchor the project within the wider city, while preserved visual links from Mount Faber to the sea maintain its relationship with the landscape.
