The Casa 131 is a free standing one family dwelling, located in Santa Maria de Palautordera near Barcelona and situated on a sloping plot of 700 m2. It consists of a basement of 102 m2, a ground floor of 94 m2 and a first floor of 84 m2. The house includes a pool as well, attached to the south side of the building.

This sculptural building with breathtaking views was built on an exclusive residential location in Canton Bern. The alignment of the parcel with a northern slope direction captures the wonderful panoramic view of the entire Jura mountain range. The three storeys are harmoniously integrated into the existing topography. The residential area deliberately faces away from the entrance. This creates a retreat against the parcels interior.

The Nook is a new-build four bedroom family house set in a secluded valley in Monmouthshire, UK. Planning permission for this 2700 sq ft home was secured to replace a drab 1960’s bungalow that had previously occupied a corner of the 1 acre Wye Valley site. The aim of the project was to establish a durable and flexible home that capitalised on the best qualities of its setting.
