Traeckaja 25

The architectural concept is a modern reinterpretation of the traditional brick building of the Grodno city center, avoiding stylization and a pseudo-historical approach. Despite its modernity, the building is subject to height and other restrictions, and it reacts contextually to the historical past and neighboring buildings. The silhouette of the building is carefully formed taking into account the preservation of the tree located within the boundaries of the site.

Jaqalan

Jaqalan, translating to friends in Turkish, comprises two architecturally unified villas in the verdant landscape of Zekeriyakoy, Istanbul. Characterized by striking sloped roofs that descend to the ground, the design addresses the region's heavy rainfall while creating a bold visual identity. Expansive terraces and floor to ceiling windows foster a strong indoor outdoor connection. With solar panels and energy efficient materials, Jaqalan exemplifies sustainable living, redefining contemporary residential architecture through minimalism and contextual harmony.

Ethereal Cradle

The Ethereal Cradle, an innovative project represents a landmark development in AI and architectural design. Located in the Amargosa Valley, Nevada, this conceptual project spans 180000 square meters and serves as a research campus and AI hub. The mirrored ring structure of the Ethereal Cradle is not merely an architectural feat but a philosophical exploration into the enigma of artificial intelligence. The mirrored facade reflects not only the surrounding barren landscape but also the introspective nature of the quest for intelligence.

Arctic Aurora

The Arctic Aurora is a sustainable spa, bathhouse, and guest retreat nestled in Bergen's mineral-rich countryside. Drawing inspiration from the Arctic aurora, the design channels the surrounding landscape into a tranquil inner sanctuary through its fluid, flowing form. Anchored by a simple circular geometry that enables water to move freely throughout the building, the program gradually shifts from public to private functions.

Global Crest Kita Omura

It falls in an area of farmland, with the Omura Bay to the west and the mountains stretching majestically to the east. The building is a generous structure that allows visitors to feel the expansive landscape even when indoors: the large roof is supported by thin 75mm steel columns, and the glazed facade creates a visual connection between the vehicle delivery area and the surrounding landscape, enhancing the sense of openness. The thick roof and the series of thin columns accentuate the shingle surface of the roof, creating a subtle and tense appearance.

It offers a modern interpretation of ancient traditions, shaping a journey that invites visitors to connect deeply with the space, fostering a sense of tranquility and cultural reflection.
