old residence in kitayama / td-Atelier + ENDO SHOJIRO DESIGN

This project is the renovation of a wooden residence approaching its centennial anniversary. The house was originally built in 1931, on a plot developed through the Rakuhoku First District Land Readjustment Project, an early urban planning scheme in northern Kyoto. Several houses from that period still remain in the neighborhood, evoking the refined residential character of the time. The current owners, a couple in their seventies, have inherited the house through three generations since it was first purchased by the husband's grandfather.

Trama House / Beatriz Henriques Arquitetura

Located in the Altos de Trancoso condominium, the project was based on studies of wind direction and solar incidence in the region to structure the implementation and spatial organization of this vacation home, thereby ensuring the use of natural resources and providing thermal comfort to the environments. Another ally of the proposal was the landscaping created, which allows the house to open up to sunlight without losing privacy in relation to neighbors. As a complementary strategy, photovoltaic panels were incorporated, enhancing the energy performance of the residence.

Tolka Estuary Greenway / TTT + Darmody Architecture

Tolka Estuary Greenway at Dublin Port forms part of Dublin Port's "Distributed Museum" initiative and was opened to the public in September 2024. Located on Dublin Port lands along the northern edge of the port peninsula, the 2.2km greenway has delivered views of the city, the bay, and the port from lands that were previously inaccessible wasteland.

Farmhouse in a Meadow / ElliottArchitects

Drawing from the New England archetype of a connected farmstead, this house utilizes three gabled forms to distribute program via "big house", "little house", and "barn." The architectural language borrows from and updates agrarian architecture and extends it across all volumes. It diverges from the traditional paradigm through its connections, staggering and separating the volumes while infilling the interstitial spaces with glass. These connectors overcome a deficiency with traditional architecture, providing direct connections to the adjacent meadow.
