Kamioka Office / Kraft Architects
Kamioka, in Hida City, Gifu Prefecture, is a town shaped by layered histories. Once flourishing with the Kamioka Mine—formerly one of the largest in the East—it has since faced depopulation, aging, and a shortage of successors, conditions now shared by many regional towns in Japan. The client is a company that has long supported everyday life in this area through forest maintenance, hazardous tree removal, specialized logging, snow clearing, civil engineering, landscaping, pest control, and even local festivals. As the organization expanded and a generational transition began, questions about the future of both the company and the region became increasingly urgent.

MS House Museum / UNO MÁS UNO Arquitectos
In General Alvear, Mendoza, an old winery stands, whose origins date back to 1924, when its first tanks housed the wine of the Hidalgo family. However, in the late 1970s, after being abandoned, the passage of time and lack of care left the building practically in ruins. In 2015, four decades later, an heir of the family, endowed with artistic and cultural vision, acquired the structure with the purpose of transforming it into his atelier, personal museum, and exhibition hall.
Renovation Project in the Heart of Shanghai’s Historic Area / dongqi Design
dongqi Design has renovated three different buildings into a multi-functional complex that integrates retail, exhibition, F&B and office spaces in downtown Shanghai. The project consists of a three-story brick-concrete building facing the street on the south side, an 8-meter-high factory building, and a single story brick-concrete building on the north side. The ground floor of the three-story building serves as a leisure area, while the second and third floors are office areas. The factory building accommodates a retail area and an independent VIP room. The single-story building on the north side contains a catering area.

The project involved a complete renovation of an apartment in a late-1930s Prague building, boasting exceptional views of the Vltava River. The primary objective was to adapt the layout to the needs of a young family while preserving and enhancing the inherent qualities of the original interior. A specific requirement was the integration of a dedicated storage solution for family bicycles.

Repeat Wellness Club / MEAN* (Middle East Architecture Network)
Occupying a former ground-floor commercial unit, the existing interior carried the accumulated traces of successive tenants, including uneven walls, residual structures, and fragmented layouts. Local planning regulations required the exterior facade to remain untouched, concentrating all architectural intervention within the historic envelope. Within these constraints, the project operates as an architectural rehabilitation, transforming a deep and irregular interior into a continuous spatial sequence.
