Heifort a Single-Story Home / FELT architecture & design

This single-storey house was designed for a retired couple with the intention of ageing in place — with dignity, autonomy, and spatial comfort. Fully accessible, the plan is organized around a clear sequence of alternating served and servant living spaces, supporting both everyday routines and future care needs.

Kiang Malingue, Art Gallery / BEAU Architects

The Kiang Malingue headquarters is the fifth collaboration between the Hong Kong based gallery and BEAU. As so, it embodies their common ambitions to critically deconstruct the identity and experience of art spaces while addressing challenges related to cultural and environmental sustainability. Located on a steeped street in the Wan Chai District, the project adapted a typical Hong Kong 1960s housing tong lau into a vertical art gallery.

VEGA House / Archirie

This building was designed as a home for a couple and their two children. The site is located on a quiet residential corner surrounded by an apartment complex and a golf course, with three sides facing roads except for the south. Currently, the area is a mix of vacant lots and houses, but it will gradually be filled with houses. The camping caravan on the vacant lot evokes the image of a family who enjoys nature and camping. I envisioned a house that would embody such a warm and joyful family life.

Kiln Tower for the Brickworks Museum / Boltshauser Architekten

The brickworks, that is run today by the Brickworks Museum, is the only intact surviving handmade brickworks in German-speaking Switzerland. The listed ensemble consists of a timber brick-drying shed, a kiln, that may no longer be operated, the biotope of the historical clay pit, a residential building with gardens, and a museum building that replaces a burned-down barn. In 2017 students of the guest professorship at the TU Munich worked on the task of designing a new kiln tower on the site. The prestressed earth-and-timber structure is based directly on the mock-up carried out at the Sitterwerk and is the world’s first prestressed earth building.
