Eames House Reopens With Expanded Public Access Following Restoration

Following an extensive conservation process, the Eames House, Case Study House No. 8, has reopened to visitors after a five-month closure due to smoke damage from the Palisades Wildfire earlier this year. Although the iconic structure, designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1949 as part of the Case Study House Program, was not directly damaged by flames, it required comprehensive cleaning and restoration to address the effects of smoke infiltration. As part of the reopening, the adjacent Eames Studio, previously closed to the public, will now be accessible for the first time. Designed and used by Charles and Ray as a working space, the studio will serve as a venue for rotating exhibitions, workshops, and public programs, offering an expanded architectural experience.

The new cellar Monte Rossa, deep in the Italian countryside of Franciacorta, is put alongside the historical venue of the 3rd century and represents the latest act of the entrepreneurial tradition pointed towards innovation and quality. The new establishment greatly answers the new requirements and brings together the oenological and the environmental sustainability into an integrated production space constantly in dialogue with the surrounding territory.

AVA Communications Building / KRDS (Kourosh Rafiey Design Studio)

The office and Workshop Building of Ava Communications Company is located within Pardis Technology Park, approximately 20 kilometers northeast of Tehran. The project occupies an 800-square-meter plot at the end of a dead-end street, with a wide pedestrian path bordering the rear. Early in the design process, a decommissioned airplane was installed on-site as a sculptural element—an unexpected gesture that significantly influenced the architectural form.

Gentle House / 23o5Studio

The project spans 362.1 m² of land in a residential zone established almost 15 years ago. The model's 2-meter setback, 14-meter maximum dwelling length, and maximum roof peak height are fulfilled. The project benefits from a vast garden for food and fruit trees, including mango, guava, and grapefruit. This garden brings back memories of grapefruit wafting over the maternal home's eaves and is a beautiful place for family meals and wine.
