Projects

  • HYPHA_ETC

    The architect Alex Whitton, based in Germany, a family friend of the clients, produced a very suggestive concept project in which he described the basic design principles, studied the layout and 3D volumes of the building, proposed the phasing of the design and construction of the building ensemble. Based on this guide and some joint meetings along the way, our office took over the design, we made the detailed technical project, assisted the build-up of the two modules out of the three planned. The complex is located in a quiet village, in the valley of the Niraj creek, a place […]

  • DAFFODIL MEADOW RECEPTION BARN

    Similar project to the reception hut models. Nature reserve area for daffodils. The building is an openable stage / shelter for cultural events and wildlife camps.

  • CHURCH CONVERSION

    Concept project for reusing the abandoned unitarian (calvinist protestant) church in a small, mountain mining town as a cultural center. Our approach was inserting the new function as a separate smaller volume keeping the ruined, roofless church wall structure dominating. + complete design freedom – the project most likely will stay in this concept phase: too few locals to dream about it.

  • MINING MUSEUM

    Inserting a new function into the historical fabric of an old mining village – Rosia Montana / Verespatak / Goldbach, Rothseifen. 9+3 buildings and plots involved, specific labyrinthine spatial connections preserved. Renovation of existing houses completed using traditional means while additions are new. + dealing with heritage area open to a progressive approach, learning new tools for 3D animation, renderings – noisy political and ecological controversy around the mining investment; until projects are about saving, preserving, building, we are in
