Home of Blended Pluralities, designed by Ego Design Studio, is a residence in a lush green site flanked by huge mango trees. This need for the dichotomy of spatial constructs was explored as the core content of the house. Home of Blended Pluralities explores spaces of traditional content, entwined with the features of a modern home. Both the spatial constructs interact and explore each other through the gardens associated with the mango trees- which existed before all.

Sands Point Residence, designed by HMA2 Architects, is a modern residence conceived as a family “resort” for everyday and all-season living; the design mixes an open flow of flexible spaces. The house is like an open shell nestled on a carved hill. A wrapping metal roof and wall surrounds and protects a permeable glass and wood skin that invites arrival and frames the open landscape and water views. The house energetically reaches beyond its shell to connect indoor and outdoor experiences.

Park Street House, designed by Robert Simeoni Architects, creates an intensely private residential space with an attempt to carry through external details and elements. The north facing exterior façade has been planted with creepers, which grow along expressed vertical wires, giving the house an additional layer of greenery, shading and privacy. The interior spaces of the building aim to be domestic, architecturally intense and pragmatic all at once. The house is one room wide, and the circulation space becomes an adjunct to the prescribed rooms.

House in Samambaia, designed by Rodrigo Simão Arquitetura, preserves relief, stones, and native trees, creating functional spaces that integrate domestic life with the nature of the place. The carbon steel structure used in most of the building made possible large spans with spares of reduced sections, allowing large window openings and creating open spaces in dialogue with the garden and the region’s beautiful landscape. The concepts of open space, using materials in their natural form, and integrating with nature seek to inspire in the family simplicity and a functional and integrated lifestyle.

Flash Battery Headquarters, designed by Studio Bocchi, is a production headquarters capable of interpreting the identity and characteristics of the production. The key points of the project were clear. They required a pragmatic approach: structural simplicity to ensure flexibility, cost efficiency, speed of execution, attention to the aesthetic definition of the building and creating a pleasant and functional working environment. The office building has been “hollowed out” in the middle to obtain a glazed patio around which the interior spaces are arranged.

WERK12, designed by MVRDV, is a mixed-use building that combines a simple form, honest materials, and transparent façades. This public route up the building blurs the distinction between interior and exterior, placing the interior spaces in conversation with exterior balconies. Simple geometries and honest materials morph into a vibrant lightshow. A key to the design was in the flexibility of the spaces. The design’s external circulation core on the building’s northeastern side is supplemented by 3.25-metre-wide terraces surrounding each building floor.

Option Coffee Bar, designed by Touch Architect, is a time-sharing, massing, and zoning design was created to suit both contrast functions of a healthy food restaurant in the morning while used as a craft-beer bar in the evening. A simple white box was created to show contrast from the context and focus on the art elements inside. This makes it easier to catch the eyes of people around the site. At the same time, it generates a ‘simply different’ atmosphere by using all black and white materials. It arouses customers’ sensations by changing emotions during the timeline.
