Architecture has long been drawn to the idea of lightness. From early modernist experiments that sought to preserve landscapes, elevating buildings has been understood as a way to preserve the ground while maintaining continuity across the terrain. Volumes are lifted on columns, infrastructures detach circulation from the surface, and entire programs are suspended above the ground.

The project of Dexamenes is one that matures gracefully over time, like wine—a story of continuity, gentle projection into the future, and constant entropy. Quiet reinvention has become part of its character: the hotel evolves in modest gestures, extending itself, layer by layer, season by season.

Located on the Sunshine Coast, Australia, Nojoor was inspired by both our client's enthusiasm for design and the beauty of the bushland site. From the outset, the brief was clear — create a home that feels deeply connected to its place, while offering genuine privacy and refuge for the family within.

Under the contemporary educational philosophy that places "student-centeredness" as a core principle in universities, the student center has emerged as a significant new building type on campuses in recent years. This particular project sits at the edge of the campus. Originally not part of the university's initial master plan, it had to be accommodated on a site chosen as opportunities allowed—long and narrow, running north to south. To the west, it already brushes against the campus boundary, backing onto a busy urban expressway; to the east, it neighbors a scenic lake with lush, water-close greenery. Unlike the ample, orderly land reserved for academic and research functions, this site carries an inherent quality of being at the "edge." How to respond to the character of this marginal zone and unlock its hidden potential became the key to the design.
