Kakoli Manor Residence / F2A+Partners

Located at a corner plot in Bashundhara Residential Area, the “Kakoli Manor” was designed with the idea of implementing contemporary building techniques & features. With roads on two sides, the site creates an interesting opportunity to flip a typical suburban house condition. The consequences evolved an overall feeling of clarity and composure – a home that enhances the life of the growing family who resides within its walls. The house came up with an introverted form with a solid mass of concrete that stands still and bold from the outside. The vigorous play of light and volume is introduced only when one enters and walks through different spaces inside.

Takaone Hotel / Kei Kaihoh Architects

Ecological Planning for a Place Where the Town Ends and the Forest Begins. This is a renovation project for a hotel located right in front of Takaosanguchi Station, the terminus of the Keio Corporation Railway’s Takao Line, about an hour's train ride from Shinjuku. The hotel is in a place where the sound of trains departing at dawn and the chirping of birds can be heard. We considered how the hotel should be built where the town ends and the forest begins. While the number of visitors to Mt. Takao is said to be as high as 3 million per year, the area has a variety of attractions, but there are few ways to spend time other than climbing the mountain, and it tends to get dark later in the evening.

Pulpo House / Workshop, Diseño y Construcción

Casa Pulpo is a Yucatecan house from the beginning of the last century that is located in one of the oldest neighborhoods of the city. The first spaces house a bedroom and the living room, both preserving their original high ceilings with the traditional white metal beams and their wooden joints, whose treatment was based on leaving the wood exposed with reminiscences of the colors it has had throughout the years.

Beauty Edit Clinic / Sturgess Architecture + Bold Workshop

Medical aesthetics offices often feel cold and clinical. Our approach for Beauty Edit’s flagship location centered on a softened language to create an experience that customers would look forward to; more ‘spa’ and less ‘walk-in clinic’. The client’s vision of offering a simple and straightforward approach to the treatment and product offerings informed our equally clear and straightforward approach to the design and planning of the space. A simple play on public vs private space and a restrained material pallet aid to evoke a spatial experience that matches the client’s brand ethos.
