Carbon House
For a project to become truly great, it often relies on a
crucial element outside the control of the architect – the
courage of the client. Happily, Carbon House near Prague,
Czech Republic, had that in abundance.
CONTENTS 4
Carbon House, which was designed in collaboration with
Mjölk Architects, has a wooden frame system with an unusual
façade. Instead of the more common larch wood, it features

Daniel Baudis,
senior architect
the ancient Japanese charred wood technique of shou sugi
ban. The result is a house with a striking appearance that
makes a strong statement on the surrounding landscape.

“There are lots of tricks with space, such as filling the gaps
under the stairs with a toilet, washing machine and grocery
room,” he said.
T H E R E A R E L O T S O F
Achieving these results began with a physical design process
that had the project’s restrictions embedded from the start. T R I C K S W I T H S PA C E
The ideas flowed from this basis and into digital forms but,
throughout the project, paper and pixels intertwined.

Aqaba, Jordan
That was the challenge that was set for Chad Oppenheim,
principal architect at Oppenheim Architecture, when designing
the signature building for the Ayla Oasis in Jordan.

“We went to the site and were fascinated by the surrounding
FA S C I N AT E D B Y T H E S U R R O U N D I N G
mountains and the way that the site was a series of dunes,”
he said, adding that he wanted to create something “silent, M O U N TA I N S A N D T H E WAY T H AT T H E
integrated into the landscape and that opens up to the
S I T E WA S A S E R I E S O F D U N E S
surrounding mountains”.

To do that, Oppenheim brought together the physical and
digital aspects in a process that allowed inspiration to flow.

Casa Chamisero
Casa Chamisero, situated north of Santiago in Chile, is a
compelling building. Defined by a piece of reinforced concrete,
it dominates the valley it is built into through an impressive
use of geometry that is both complex and efficient.
CONTENTS 10
The design of the project benefitted from a successful
combination of physical and digital processes.
CONTENTS 11
Once the main proposals for the building were fully
defined, the modelling was done using building information
modelling (BIM) software.

House on
Fountain Street
This private house in Odessa, Ukraine, is a mix of old
and new, of tradition and modernity. It’s a combination
that creates an impressive stylish structure that is rooted W E A R E P R O U D O F T H E FA C T T H AT
securely in time and place.

construction materials that are authentic for Odessa in

And just like the blend of classic and contemporary in the final

“We wanted to pursue a way where we could incorporate the sea safely into our master plan.
So, we raised the ground and when it was stabilized embarked on the retail complex,” said
chief of design, Toshiko Meijo.
He explained how they drew inspiration from the town’s history of low-rise buildings, its

fishing industry and the way shop owners displayed goods at their entrances. The aim was to chief of design
keep it intimate – with the feeling of a private home – onto which tenants could imprint their
