Carlton Cottage sought to re-imagine a tired single storey house on a small allotment into a new home for our young family. We resolved to address practical issues relating to water management, light quality, and thermal performance while taking cues from the existing cottage to arrange the home within its historical context. Intertwined with this pragmatism was an approach based on adaptability, regeneration, and an emphasis on spatial quality over material excesses.

An activity that is as flexible and free as possible, without spatial constraints, providing a campsite, market and event venue similar to a park lawn. The design concept of Noxbase is to be able to provide a flexible layout at any time for different activities and guests. Therefore, a building that feels like a rapidly deployable "structure," similar to an event, would be most suitable.

French architecture studio Coldefy in collaboration with Demeter Design Studió (DDS) has completed the first phase of housing at Lake 11 Home & Park, a major new lakeside residential development at the picturesque edge of Budapest's 11th district.

Located in a visually cluttered urban setting, Akamori is conceived as a calm, enclosed mass that turns inward to create its own atmosphere. The building's form is deliberately simple, a dark grey box clad in textured exposed aggregate, and is designed to screen out the unappealing context while focusing all attention inward.
