Sattva, designed by the architectural firm Neogenesis + studio0261, is a quaint family residence that reflects warmth & minimalism. The principle that ruled the design conceptualization process was the need to provide the end users with all the utilitarian facets in the compact square footage available. The terms earthy, minimal & homey encapsulate the DNA of this home. Clean-lined monochrome walls are paired with umber teak grooved panels to add a sense of dimension to the space.

Manga – Vila Santa Thereza Housing Building, designed by Laurent Troost Architectures, presents conditions of passive sustainability and identical spatial qualities for all units to achieve social equality. Taking into account the origin of the prevailing winds in the region, the reduced width of the blocks, as well as the design of the openings in each facade, were planned to guarantee cross ventilation in all spaces.

AMANI, designed by the architectural firm ARCHETONIC, contains 226 housing units varying between 84 and 168 sqm distributed in 2 buildings. The extremes of each building end in cantilever mirroring the aspect of puzzle pieces which aim to blur the interior-exterior relation and visually connect with the environment. The harmony of the complex is perceived from its entrance through the use of natural and apparent materials in conjunction with a sober and elegant color palette.

The Brick Abode, designed by Alok Kothari Architects, anchors all the spaces to a central ‘skylight,’ which would draw in light the entire day and act as a brahmasthan.’ The architectural expression of the traditional residential typology of Pune – the ‘Wada’ was always as simple & elegant and was mainly constructed in exposed brick or basalt stone, or both were used to formulate the form. Moreover, the warmth & the aesthetics provided by brick as a material is unmatched.

Burning Man Installation Proposal, designed by the architectural firm AI Studio, reinterprets a closed tomb as an open and permeable space. The shape of the structure is designed to resemble Lenin’s Mausoleum’s silhouette from afar, transforming up close into a living bamboo forest, gently swaying and “singing” in the wind. The density of the pavilion appears to change as one’s vision is shifted. This interplay of height, transparency and patterns of light and shade adds mysticism, and alludes to pagan rituals celebrated in such inviting, yet dangerous, woods.

Casa do Bosque is a residence designed by the architectural firm LB + MR that makes the most of the view of the forest landscape. Due to the dimensions of the terrain – narrow in width and long in length the firm has chosen small patios. The team seeks to make the most of these views and in order to make a greater connection with the surroundings, they seek to take advantage of natural materials such as brick, stone, concrete and wood.

Bolivar, designed by the architectural firm Hitzig Militello Arquitectos, is a housing project located in the neighborhood of San Telmo. The building height is regulated by the building code of the city. What characterizes the project is the use of two facade lines: one of them denser and monolithic; and behind that line a lighter and translucent one. Because of this we decided to use a palette of materials such as concrete and galvanize iron that defines the aesthetic configuration of the project.

Dogtrot, designed by CLB, is a residence combining simplicity with interest referencing its agrarian surroundings and is based on the concept of a dogtrot barn, two separate but connected forms. This modern take on the barn lends energy and opens up the interiors toward the primary views. Throughout, materiality is minimal. Drama is a constant factor — in the sense of space created by the width and span of the connector roof.

Story of three courts residence, designed by Collage Architecture Studio, is a perfect amalgamation between the built and naturally existing.

Instead it focuses primarily on creating an open and active living atmosphere where the young family can grow into and flourish.Projecting cubes, double height spaces, courtyards amidst the delicate landscaping are complementary elements used in conjunction with the material palette.

TClínica De Odontologia, designed by the architectural firm spbr arquitetos, houses two professional activities: clinic and laboratory. The building’s implantation follows the height gauge of the neighboring houses and is aligned on the fronts of the land towards the streets. This gives independence to the construction, with a different feature from the neighborhood and, at the same time, shapes the court, a striking unit of the orthogonal grid of streets and avenues of the projected city.

Kowdiar villa, designed by Cadence Architects, articulates a new experience in the courtyard by having a large garden and a large water body. The juxtaposition of the water body and the garden along with central spine of the house helps organize the rest of the program. The formal articulation of the house has a minimalistic sensibility to it. Large plane surfaces enclose generous spatial volumes that overlook internal and external gardens.
