This artist’s studio is located in a residential area in the west corner of Mexico City, over a 20m x 40m site. The project has an underground parking space and its formed by a building with 3 levels (a triple-height space, offices on the third level and a service area on the roof), with a very specific architectural program. There were two conditions: on one hand, to be used as a studio and, on the other, to serve as venue for private temporary exhibits.

Located at the extreme edge of a coveted Montreal neighbourhood, the design of the U House responds to a harsh urban context, respectfully shutting out the outside world by concentrating services around the periphery.Space along the inside of the U is thus liberated and attention is focused towards the inner core.Constructed with the precision of fine cabinetry, the articulated panels of wood, glass and steel that line the courtyard open and close to invite the outside in and the inside out with seasonal regularity.via dexigner and Archdaily/ photos marc cramer

Located in Brasilia, Brazil and designed by Marcio Kogan the Osler House was built in 2008.
On the ground floor, the rooms open out using rotating wooden panels, which are reminiscent of other elements frequently used in the modernist city. Throughout this area there is cross-ventilation. The small foyer in the entrance connects to the second floor with a delicate staircase. The upper floor is organized in a prism of glass and concrete and is supported by stilts. The living room is in spatial continuity with the kitchen, separated only by a table used to prepare the food. visit Marcio Kogan architects

This is the second BAPE® store in the US, after the New York shop, located at a premier location at the corner of a block on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. Situated in the center of the boutique is a large glass cylinder having roughly 6 meters in diameter, providing both an appropriate rhythm and line of motion to an almost square floor area. Inside the cylinder, sneakers revolve around in the glass enclosure. Making full use of its 4.5 meter-high ceiling, BAPE®'s brand identity has been incorporated by creating a shop that has both a museum-like feel as well as entertaining for the customers.
