Mountain Impression

Backed by undulating karst mountains, this factory building draws its design language from the natural context.

Double Barn

Double Barn is a contemporary house located in the suburbs of Warsaw, designed for a family of four.

In order not to overwhelm the surrounding single-family housing with its size, the house was divided into two interconnected blocks.

Yamate

They studied the angles of the summer and winter sunrises entering the site, and designed a floor plan that captures the sunrise throughout the year. The walls were glazed to create a sunrise-filled living space. Then, to protect the living space from the summer sun and rain, they planned an independent large roof. The roof is not an enclosed space, but an open space where wind and consciousness can pass through. They hope that with the construction of this building, the residents will feel more light and wind than ever before, and that their daily life will be better.
