In this modest home, a gentle canvas for domestic life. Not unlike the slight projections on the serif font, subtle texture and graphical accents enrich the basic framework.

Like béton brut, raw and distilled, this penthouse’s personality takes on all shades of grey and manners of sharp, geometric forms. Structure, utility and clear expressions celebrated.

Black and gold, dark and light; in this apartment, opposing elements are also dependent companions.

We distilled the Japanese principles and elements of ryokan architecture into an apartment that provides rich meaning with minimal gestures.

New skin to to old bones – the latter, surgically rearranged for new expressions, new functions and the basis for a new life for a second generation of owners.

This apartment abandons walls and rules of space planning. Instead, fluid boundaries give democracy to the definition of space and edges.

In this home, small and big things and spaces give order and are ordered. We deployed the steel rod as a module that transmute into objects of wayfinding, utility and beauty.

We rejigged the entire planning of a public housing apartment by inserting a wooden box in the centre; in the process, domestic habits and movements are redefined.
