Season Of Leaves | Nilay Patalia Architects
Season Of Leaves, designed by Nilay Patalia Architects, is a residence that strategically sits deeper into the site. The resultant house design evolved to be one in direct response to the site and functionality, having simple aesthetics and rustic material palette. The approach is shrouded by the trees, acting as natural screen providing privacy to the residents and keeping the visitors intrigued in anticipation for the house to reveal itself; allowing only few glimpses through the web of branches and leaves.
Cabinet Studio Apartment | Anna & Eugeni Bach
Cabinet Studio Apartment, designed by Anna & Eugeni Bach, is an adaptation of a small corner flat to be used as a study and a “retirement” apartment. To achieve this flexibility, the proposal concentrates all of the services in a single area, as though part of a hutch, which crosses the main rooms following the 45º logic of a corner flat.

Return Restaurant I | Return
Return Restaurant I, designed by Return, deliver a sense of surprise during the transformation of the background and role assumed by the food per se.

Le Copenhague | Christophe Rousselle Architecte
Le Copenhague, designed by Christophe Rousselle Architecte, emerges as a single, sober volume with simple shapes that oscillates between massiveness and transparency due to the alternation between concrete and glass. The building is configured as a large solid body of almost white concrete. The use of raw concrete has been chosen for being a unifying element – sober and elegant -, for its robust and durable quality, as well as for its structural advantage.
Rosby Wines Cellar Door & Gallery | Cameron Anderson Architects
Rosby Wines Cellar Door & Gallery, designed by Cameron Anderson Architects, respects historic earth buildings’ alignment and materiality. Rosby Wines was launched in a mudbrick hut overlooking the vineyard at the top of the property. The site configuration creates a service area behind the new building concealing services and associating them with the main workshop areas of the property away from public access. Critical to the project was the structural engineer who pushed the boundaries of rammed earth design eliminating a lot of structural steel.
