Quartz Plaza / Salon Alper Derinbogaz

Lithological Strata and the Dual-Skin Envelope as an Architectural Model – Quartz Plaza is an office building project located in İstanbul. The local vicinity has undergone frequent transformations due to a persistent race in construction projects since the earthquake of 1999. Against this backdrop of constant flux, the project seeks to establish a connection with an enduring layer of the city—its geomorphology.

Hibrew Coffee and Cuisine / Simpul Studio

Hibrew Coffee and Cuisine is a renovation project of an existing coffee shop that has been operating for over six years. Located within a residential area, the building initially resembled a traditional house. The client envisioned a comprehensive transformation—both interior and exterior—to create a more contemporary and inviting atmosphere while maintaining the intimate familiarity of the original setting.

Sonoro House / SANTOS BOLIVAR

Sonoro is a project that intertwines architecture and music from its inception. More than just a built space, it is a synesthetic work, a habitable instrument where rhythm, scale, proportion, and silence are translated from the staff to the plane.

Küng Office Building / Seilerlinhart

For about ten years now, Stephan Küng, head of Küng Holzbau (Küng Timber Constructions) in the second generation, has put a lot of effort into solid wood construction. "Holzpur" (Pure Wood) is the name of the system that Küng has established on the market. The basic elements of "Holzpur" are solid, about 20 cm thick wall parts consisting of seven layers of boards. The boards themselves are made out of "moon wood", which is usually cut around Christmas time before the new moon, when there is almost no water left in the trees. This results in less shrinkage and a smaller risk of infestation with wood pests. This is what the company is convinced about and they find more and more customers who don't want a usual frame construction with boards and adhesives, but nothing else than wood. Pure wood. The recently finished headquarters building of the company itself in a small industrial zone near Alpnach, where Küng Timber Construction has been rooted since its beginning, not just solves a spatial problem, but also works as a demonstration object, business card, and a 1:1 scaled billboard for this solid wood construction. The building has been designed by Seiler Linhart architects, an office situated in Lucerne and Sarnen, that has been working intensively with Küng since the year 2009.
