Law Street House, Melbourne, Australia
Australian Architects complete residence on weekends over 3 and half years
Located in a tight single lane street the original dilapidated one bedroom workman's cottage built in the 1880s formed the initial brief for architect's/owner builders Bruno Mendes and Amy Muir. To pursue the desire to construct using one's own hands formed a very important part of the brief. While working full time in practice the new house was constructed on weekends over 3 and half years by the architects.

Casa Bosques, Clearwater Bay, Hong Kong
Architects make the most of strict building specifications in Hong Kong’s new territories
The driving force behind the concept of this renovation project was to enhance the feeling of space and re-orientate the outlook to capitalise on the forest that was on its door step. By closing down openings that were overlooked by neighbours and opening up walls that faced the forest, the outlook has been transformed and privacy has been ensured. Furthermore, by opening up the perimeter wall to embrace the greenery, a tangible connection with nature has been created and the virtual size of the garden multiplied. Internally, restraint in the layout has helped magnify a feeling of openness whilst light, filtered through the leaves of the trees and internal gardens, floods in through ideally located windows and doors.

SA Residence, Dhaka, Bangladesh
SHATOTTO use water as inspiration in their soul soothing home in Bangladesh
As Lalon, a spiritual folk singer and philosopher, said in eighteenth century, "if there is not one thing inside the body then it is not outside the body either". Just like human body, there is a body of architecture. Human body has two parts, shell and thinking as soul. Architecture has similar, shell and Mother Nature as soul. Shell and soul are interdependent yet independent. They belong to each other and they belong to themselves. A good soul needs a good shell.

House at Corcovado Hillside, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Soaring over the breathtaking Rio landscape, a retreat that reserves a quiet and delicate atmosphere
Embedded within the rocky Corcovado hillside, boldly cantilevering over the surrounding landscape, the house uncurtains a breath-taking panorama over the most beautiful icons of the city skyline: Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, Ipanema Beach, Guanabara Bay, Sugarloaf, Christ monument, and Pedra da Gávea and Dois Irmãos mountains.
