The aim of the competition was to design a multi-family complex, which
would provide living for nearly 220 families, in a town in Serbia. What needed
to be taken into consideration was the fact that the project would be developed
in three separate fases.
Our idea was to play with cubes: by placing them on top of each other, and
one next to another, we would create vivd facade from the street view. The
difference between facade plans would give space for bedrooms and balconies.
The inner part, that is the courtyard, is designed to be a platform for the
day zone. We created special net, a second facade, that gives the day zone
certain privacy.

This is a business center in Sao Paolo, that would accommodate several
smaller companies. The idea for each of them is to have their own entrance
from the yard, and a terrace, whether on the second or third floor level. The
comunication is mainly organized as a shell of the building.
The building itself is a cluster of boxes. The boxes went out of the initial
volume in order to provide space and light for the growing subvolumes. As
an outcome, there is a game of shadows between different facades levels/
depths.

Porto refurbishment

Porto, Portugal
Arrebita!Porto team
Arrebita!Porto is a social project that aims to refurbish derelict buildings at
no cost for impoverished owners. The first step is a pilot project where an
abandoned building in the the historic centre of Porto, Rua de Reboleira, has
been selected.
The old building contained apartments and small scholl, but was abandoned
around twenty years ago. The new concept considers division of functions into
two main categories: comercial and living zone. The basement, ground floor
and mezanine are designed to be public spaces, with possible future Arrebita
office, workshops and places for the local comunity. Separate entrance on the
top left leads to the first and second floors, that is, two separate apartments.
