The concept of the planning of the auditorium complex in Coimbatore is purely based on location and function. It was the client who clearly stated that the building must not obstruct any vision either from outside the campus or from inside. Any other form other than a dome would have been catastrophic.
La Pedrera is the name of the building housing the clubhouse of the development known as Cola de Lagarto, located on the outskirts of Atlixco, in Puebla, about two hours from Mexico City. The project is set within the Tentzo mountain range, a semi-desert landscape primarily featuring acacias, yuccas, and wild grasses.
The Mapfre Chiclayo Cemetery is located in the province of Monsefú, Lambayeque, Peru. The area was occupied by crops and rice fields, distributed over flat and slightly uneven terrain corresponding to the Chancay River basin. This river branches into canals, turning the area into a fertile valley. In the distance, ‘Cerro El Reque’ stands out as the only monumental element amidst the vast landscape, becoming a significant landmark for both the site and its residents. Cerro El Reque and the valley are accompanied by several archaeological complexes within the property, such as ‘Siete Techos’ and ‘Ventarrón.’ The latter, with over 4,500 years of history, preserves the oldest murals on the American continent.
The industrial redevelopment project concerns an abandoned production building, constructed in the early 1970s and located along a major industrial and commercial route in Villorba, north of Treviso. The project enabled the establishment of the new headquarters of Dante Negro, a company of master blacksmiths specializing in the production of metal design furniture.
This residential project is located on an elongated site overlooking the sea of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. A formal language was established through a series of large, rammed earth walls, patios that configure the different spaces within the house, and several water mirrors complete with small waterfalls that function as elements of serenity.
The design of Phu Quoc house is inspired by a young couple living on the island who share their concerns about the unstable freshwater supply for the island’s residents due to the overdevelopment of tourism infrastructure, which has depleted the groundwater. Considering the island’s high salinity and the intense rainfall accompanied by strong winds that damage building structures, the couple desires an affordable, sustainable, and eco-friendly home that can harvest rainwater to meet their daily needs.
The house embodies a subliminal connection with its surroundings. Sited amongst the ghats around a tranquil lake, this is a weekend home for a dancer and her family. Thoughtfully orientated, the homes unfold in a series of connected pavilions. Each pavilion has its own spatial purpose flowing to the next. Each space holds a unique perspective of the lake view. Designed to awaken with the pulse of nature; life in this home is therapeutic. Set along a north-south axis, the sun registers itself on the east and west-facing skin of the home. The solstice sun rays align with the deliberate color blocks on the living room wall, honoring the universe and time.
Casa Aguilar arises with the idea of creating an interior oasis where a family can experience introspection and contemplation while inhabiting their home. This intention is reflected in its architecture through a solid envelope that acts as a second skin, protecting against views of a densely planned area. Inside, natural light filters through patios on each of the three levels, creating a serene and intimate atmosphere.
Situated on Preah Sihanouk Ave, linking the northern route that leads to Angkor Wat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and downtown of Siem Reap, Angkor Market is a two-story red brick building, surrounded by a century’s worth of cultural heritage Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor, Angkor National Museum and Amansara Resort. We aim to activate a gap in the urban fabric and create a new gathering spot while maintaining the harmony of the existing neighborhood. The market comprises grocery stores, pharmacies, stationery, and household appliances that contribute to making people’s shopping experiences pleasurable.
In the remote suburb of Madarganj, where buildings are often constructed without consultants, the project was initiated similarly. The client, one of eight siblings, hired a local contractor to extend his portion of the ancestral home. However, upon erecting the skeleton, the resulting structure was found to lack proper light and ventilation, prompting reconsideration. The designers were appointed at this phase, reflecting many similar situations architects encounter, where architecture becomes more an act of surgery than novel creation, especially in suburban contexts.
