Yatch Port Changing Rooms / Estudio Huma

To serve beyond being served as materialized meaning. The building owes itself to its function, to serve above all. Changing rooms with laundry serve all those who arrive at the port from distant lands to the city by the sea: British, Italians, French, and Dutch.

Common in many townhouses, this is a unique part of a residence that presents a certain freedom regarding the main program, which can be explored both with diverse uses and through the constructive solutions employed.

White Patio House / Pashenko Works

The project is an extension and renovation of an existing Victorian terrace. It was conceived as a prototype for urban dense living, where the development has been thoughtfully maximized within local planning constraints. The traditional type of terraced house backed by a garden has been transformed into a new type - a patio house. It successfully responds to the challenge of making experientially rich dwellings within the context of congested cityscape.

The Mosque Between the Past, Present, and its Function Beyond a Religious Space

The mosque; the Islamic holy place of prayer, carries a distinct structural characteristic and identity. It is a serene and spiritual architecture that brings individuals closer to their faith and divine entity. Prophet Muhammad's original house in Medina (in present-day Saudi Arabia) is believed to be the first place of prayer, and served as a model for early mosque architecture; a mud-brick structure with living quarters on one side of an enclosed rectangular courtyard. Soon after, the allocation of open spaces in the center of towns where Muslims could gather and pray became more frequent, resulting in several spaces of worship with a universal spatial characteristic: their orientation towards Mecca.
