After many years of living in the Near and Far East, our clients retired and returned to London. They wanted a base which is easy to manage, comfortable, feels stylish and new and is also a good backdrop for their art collection.
The Travessa Dom Vasco apartment occupies the last floor of a mid-20th-century building, refurbished in the 80’s. The flat is split into two levels: the one below – an ordinary residence; the one above – a terrace of scarce use, where an informal storage construction is placed.

Bulleen residence is a 440m2 new modern family home located in the lush green area of Bulleen, Victoria. The client’s brief was for a house which works with the site conditions to create a home which felt open, light filled, natural and connected to that garden.

This apartment with a total area of 43.72 m2 is located in a modern residential multi-family housing in Moscow, Russia. The customer is a young IT specialist who spends a lot of time outside this apartment. The main idea was to organize a large open space with maximum natural light. A set of furniture was planned to be minimal.
The building is situated in the countryside near Genoa, surrounded by a chestnut trees woods. Before the refurbishment works, the house was characterized by a long corridor that completely cut the flat, leading to the several rooms arranged on both its sides.
