Cover image for This high school in Djilakh

This high school in Djilakh is more than an educational complex. It is a flexible community hub without rigid boundaries. Seven buildings surround a central plaza with a stage and vocational zones open to all residents. Each building features adobe walls, a 7x9m interior, and a shaded porch with the Guna Vault: interlocking terracotta cones forming a barrel vault that reduces interior temperature by 10°C. Local materials ensure sustainability, low maintenance, and a lifespan of over fifty years.

Cover image for Commissioned by De Twee Pauwen

Commissioned by De Twee Pauwen gallery in The Hague, Sedia da Conversazione was conceived for the gallery's upstairs Conversational Room. More than a piece of furniture, it is a spatial essay: a dual seat without visible separation allowing two people to sit side by side while facing different directions, connected by a silent dialogue deepened by an integrated bookshelf beneath the seat. Presented at Dutch Design Week 2025 as part of the Forward Furniture exhibition and featured by Il Sole 24 Ore, it was also introduced to the BNI during their Bike Tour at DDW 2025.

Cover image for To Zero transforms the ruins

To Zero transforms the ruins of Santa Maria di Settefonti, on the historic Gothic Line, into a multi-faith centre for peace. An independent structure sits entirely detached from the original walls, preserving their scars as a solemn reminder of war. The "War Clock" on the façade monitors active global conflicts. Inside, ethereal light filters through an opal roof, while a structural glass floor reveals the Romanesque foundations beneath. A monumental east-facing window serves as a universal focal point for all the world's prayers.

Cover image for This project for the Benut

This project for the Benut de Overruimte competition addresses the Netherlands' housing crisis by adding compact homes of 30 m2 and 50 m2 onto existing flat rooftops. Lightweight steel with a copper-like finish references traditional red brick while remaining recyclable and low-maintenance. Solar panels ensure energy self-sufficiency. Green roofs, pergolas, and bee-friendly planting restore urban biodiversity. A continuous promenade with integrated bench niches fosters neighbourhood cohesion. Applicable to any flat-roofed building, anywhere.

Cover image for Designer House is a full

Designer House is a full interior architecture project transforming a plain Delft apartment into a home of character and refined contrasts. The intervention covered every room: entrance, kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom. Key architectural decisions included the design of a concealed walk-in wardrobe behind a bold yellow curtain, the integration of a sauna-inspired bathroom with wood, iron, and a century-old Delft blue ceramic basin, and the layered composition of living spaces balancing heritage furniture, original artworks, and contemporary design pieces.

Cover image for This renovation in Friesland revitalises

This renovation in Friesland revitalises an old barn adjacent to a historic villa. Timber and aluminium cladding creates a seamless transition from the villa's traditional brick façade, while original window frames and structural elements remain visible through the new exterior. Rather than demolishing, the design preserves and highlights the barn's architectural heritage. Internally, the barn is divided into two distinct spaces: a private residence and a B&B, each finished with modern comforts and precise craftsmanship. Thoughtful design, minimal intervention, lasting result.

Cover image for This renovation transforms a historic

This renovation transforms a historic Italian apartment, long uninhabited, with an inefficient room-to-room layout. A new wall recesses the bedroom, creating a connecting corridor and integrated storage. Soft pink walls and ceiling visually enlarge the narrow space while preserving its intimate character. A hidden door concealed within concrete cladding separates the bathroom without disrupting the aesthetic. A custom kitchen integrates seamlessly into a TV unit, culminating in a nook facing the restored original fireplace. Northern European minimalism meets Italian craftsmanship throughout.
