Interior Design

This single-family residence in Okrokana reinterprets the fence-dominated suburban fabric of Tbilisi through an inward-looking typology, transforming the house itself into a protective perimeter that generates light, privacy, and spatial generosity from within.

Commissioned in 2012 following an international design competition, Snøhetta‘s Busan Opera House is under construction on the city’s North Port waterfront, with major works scheduled for completion in late 2026 and an opening planned for 2027. Conceived as the first opera house in South Korea‘s second-largest city, the project redefines the traditional opera house as an open and inclusive civic institution. Rather than operating solely as a venue for performance, the building is envisioned as a public destination that supports everyday use, collective experience, and long-term cultural engagement within Busan‘s evolving urban landscape.

Founded in 1950, Greenhill School is a leading independent day school serving nearly 1,400 students in the north Dallas suburb of Addison. A campus of venerable buildings and welcoming outdoor spaces provides an inclusive and interconnected educational setting. Seeking a transformative STEM and Innovation facility to empower students to collaborate and problem-solve in new ways, Greenhill engaged our practice to design a flexible, high-performing environment that could serve as a teaching tool for sustainability.

“We know we are not born to die,” often said Brazilian architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha. “We are born to continue.” In architecture, this idea of continuity lies at the heart of heritage, not as a static inheritance, but as something that endures, transforms, and is constantly reinterpreted. Yet what continues, and what is allowed to disappear, is never neutral. Decisions about preservation are shaped by power, memory, and value, raising a fundamental question for contemporary practice: who defines what is worth carrying forward, and for whom?

“The Memory of the River” is a project located at the intersection of public art and ephemeral architecture, conceived as a transitory infrastructure capable of reactivating urban spaces in the city of Bogotá through cultural uses. The initiative arises from the Secretariat of Culture, Recreation and Sports (SCRD) with Secretary Santiago Trujillo, the Director of Art, Culture, and Heritage Diego Parra, and structured by the Subdirectorate of Infrastructure and Cultural Heritage of the Secretariat, led by Edgar Figueroa, with a team composed of: Edgar Bernal, Emmanuel Guerra, Juliana Mendoza, Diego Rodríguez, and Juan Sebastián Robayo. They advocate for a temporary intervention—instead of a permanent one—as a strategy to decentralize cultural uses and allow different neighborhoods in the city to host their activities.
