an existing old house in Mergoscia in Valle Verzasca, outside the village situated, should be a useful additional diverse housing with a strong relation to horticulture and landscaping to be extended.
the original house already has a growing from the middle of last century.
so decided to opt for a free-standing extension as horticulture and living pavilion to the original home to any further changes to be made. (translated)

K Workstation
Designer: MisoSoup Design
Location: n/a
Not much information about MisoSoup Design's K Workstation, but the surface winding design speaks for itself, incorporating a near continuous wall mounted surface that provides desk space and overhead shelving. Put two of these back to back and you've got a really small space open face cubicle.

Tree house

The design and building of Tree House was a labor of love. I designed this house for my sister, her first house. The death of our father allowed her the funds to build it.

The Peres Peace House
Designer: Massimiliano Fuksas Architetto
Location: Jaffa, Tel Aviv
Image Credits: Moreno Maggi
The building, which opens to the public in March, is intended to be a neutral meeting point for Israelis and Palestinians, but although it will contain memorials to Nobel Peace Prize winners, it's far from just a museum. It has a library, conference and office space, and recreational and sports facilities. The only part of the building that is open faces the sea. The rest of the structure is made up of pale green precast concrete slabs layered with transparent and opaque glass. From the outside the concrete appears flat and calm, but inside it is erratic, irregular.
