fala   Portugal   The Portuguese firm fala – set up in 2013 by Ahmen Belkhodja, Filipe Magalhães, and Ana Luisa Soares – built this transparent guesthouse-studio that takes up the entire width of a narrow garden. Connected to the property's main house by paths of woo

fala   Portugal   The renovation respects the building as it is, with its protected, listed main facade, the result of a vertical stacking of various extensions which have functioned well together. The rear facade, less cared for, rises only two levels. The house is

fala   Portugal   The project is an obsessive play of grids and patterns. Stripes of white and green define the perimeter of all living spaces and dots of black marble appear in circulation areas. The back facade is carefully composed with thin lines and two marble st

fala   Portugal   The old house is rebuilt around an off-centered chimney. A set of broken walls and green doors evolve around it, and each room is the result of pure spatial improvisation. The small back facade is a delicate composition hidden from the public...

fala   Portugal   Layers of lines and dots are vigorously wrapped around a narrow and tall urban building. A system of concrete columns crosses all levels, allowing for different spatial narratives but maintaining a physical coherence. Glass brick walls and doors defi

fala   Switzerland   To break with the rigid scheme of white-walled rooms repeated around a central core, the project introduces kinks and bends. Rows of black marble columns pass through the building, engaging in dialogue with a small and joyful round volume...
