Architecture

Amongst the vineyards of Basbina in Lebanon, an award winning architectural project was carried out by the practice of Raed Abillama Architects. Beneath a 140 year old stone house, a preexisting cellar was redeveloped to accommodate the modern winery of IXSIR, a well-known local brand, established in 2008.

For anyone who has dreamt of moving closer to nature, of adopting a different lifestyle in a cabin, deep in the woods, but of course without losing sight of the element of comfort and security, will love San Sen House, a project undertaken in 2008 by the practice of Alejandro Sanchez Garcia Arquitectos.

Located in Ramot Hashavim , a quiet suburb of Israel and designed by the Argentinian architect Nestor Sandbank, Cubes Villa is what we would call a contemporary jewel of architecture. Striking in its presence, combining the bold minimalism of its form with a seamless fusion of clean lines and curvilinear shapes... 

In the suburb of Glyfada on the south coast of Athens, is where ISV Architects decided to position their new stunning creation. Remaining loyal to their architectural style, they once again embodied elegance, boldness and minimalism into this single family residence...

On the coastal road by the Melkbosstrand beach, just 30 km from Cape Town, stands Melkbos House, a comfortable two level family residence designed by the practice of SAOTA. The weather beaten African coastline is the inspiration for this residence, expressed in the road facing screen wall, textured and untamed like its dynamic surroundings.

A project undertaken by the practices of Pitsou Kedem Architects and Axelrod Architects, G House exceeds the accepted limits of a simple minimalist design. Constructed on a small plot in a suburb of Tel Aviv, Israel, the two level plus basement family home follows a horizontal framework punctuated by vertical and horizontal strips of glazing.

In the Mexican countryside of Yucatan, the number of ruined and abandoned buildings remains as a testament to the ever changing economic environment of the country.
