Casa Metepec, designed by DAFdf Arquitectura y Urbanismo, is a free-standing object in the land, potentially becoming a real gesture, a villa-type house. To receive east and west sun accents, the volume was broken on both sides and formalized as boxes, either at ground or hanging. To make them more expressive they are cladded in wood. To receive more light in spaces close to the north side skylights were created. The result is an ever changing interior, vibrant, warm and sunny.

The Fall, designed by MYVN Architecture, is an amphitheater in between a large courtyard of the co working space. The installation was envisioned to be a backdrop having its own form like a sculpture. Following the language of the project, the design is an evolution of parallel lines. Bending as of a hand, each vertical plate consistently carried the elegance of the structure. It also manifests the concept of co working, multiple vertical members portraying multiple hands.

Casa Povo, designed by Contaminar Arquitetos, is both dreamlike and romantic without losing the connection to what is the physical and intrinsic reality of this place. Amidst a diverse landscape, which is characterized by being apparent and empirically inhospitable, there appears in an act of volumetric courage a cave built and idealized entirely in concrete. This detached house carefully balances the game between the glimpse of the surrounding pine forest and the privacy of its residents.

CONTAMINAR brand has 4 partners distinct in their genesis, complementing each other, being more poetic elements, others more rational, introspective, and observers, and others more methodical, always looking for a balance. The ideas are developed by a questionnaire made to customers and a diagnosis and analysis of the site, promoting a local infection. Each project has its identity, we usually say that each work has its own grain.

The combination between the old style floor, with lots of oak tree cladding and lots of plants creates a full story that is totally different and surprising than the outside.

Delas Frères Winery, designed by Carl Fredrik Svenstedt Architect, renovates a historic, centrally located property, investing in its past, despite the challenges of wine harvesting in an urban context. Using solid, structural stone, the new wine cellar and shop become walls framing a renovated manor house and its garden. The stone relates to the site, while the thermally inert, porous walls create ideal conditions for wine.

Kaawi House, designed by Girish Dariyav Karnawat, Architect, is guided by the need to keep the original plan and to preserve the charm of a traditional Kerala house. The finished double-storey house was built with laterite. What started as a renovation turned into a complete architectural intervention with interior design, furniture design, and landscape! It was transformed spatially through restoration, renovation, and addition. A house that was formerly introverted and closed was transformed into an open, airy, and seemingly spacious home.

The questioning is primarily through sketches, drawings, rendering, study models, and so forth. With the incessant questioning at the conceptual stage, through design development and into the meticulous working drawings, the envelope of anticipation is pushed to the farthest possible extents. GDK is a nomad and his works are abodes on a pilgrimage.

House Split, designed by MYVN Architecture, is built in two parts: retaining the site’s natural slope and following the contours. The central courtyard segregates the plan to act as two volumes. The two volumes are bridged together by a third transparent volume; a courtyard, that acts to provide enclosure and also opens up the interior into the exterior. While looking outside from this space one can perceive the moving clouds as though it is moving through the house.
