Tan Hapjeong is the second location of the Tan brand, following the first store in Yeonnam, both designed by oftn Studio. Before beginning the design of the Hapjeong branch, two primary points were emphasized. The first was to create a space with a distinctly different mood from the Yeonnam store. Interestingly, before starting the design, the team explored the hair portfolios and social media profiles of the designers who would work in this space. The goal was to reflect the personality and style of the actual users in the design, thereby completing the brand's identity. The client also aimed to differentiate this location by appealing to designers with unique styles or those pursuing alternative approaches to hairstyling compared to the first store.

For Milky's third location, a third dimension.Milky's newest coffee shop at 1243 Dundas St W in Toronto, opened March 15th, 2024. The space, designed by Simone Ferkul Projects, evolves the iconic, innovative designs of the first two locations, but with a twist. Rather than being expressed in a new material, Milky's distinctive elongated diamond is unfolded into three dimensions. Metal, wood and stone surfaces were used to create the 3d pattern.

Like a piece of a puzzle, the school complex, comprising a nursery school, an elementary school, a catering center, and a day-care center, is built on a plot of land surrounded by the Joncs Marins, the Jardin de Traverse, a fabric of small houses and several multi-family housing projects. To fit in with this ensemble, we had to understand the urban project planned for this part of the eco-neighborhood to extract its essence: the school group is homogeneous, but each facade is treated independently, taking into account the direction in which the building faces. The result is a layered, volumetric landscape across the entire site, with three volumes emerging on the main façade on Avenue Jacqueline de Romilly, representing the three entities of the school group.

The Saltviga House is a recreational home built out of oak and Douglas off-cuts from Dinesen's floor production. The house blends subtly into the boreal forest on the Norwegian southeastern coastline adapting to the particulars of the local landscape. By combining ennobled timber scraps with a reassessment of historical building vocabularies, the Saltviga House employs an updated architectural language of resource efficiency.

Architecture and urban planning in Latin America face deeply rooted social, environmental, and economic challenges shaped by historical inequalities, rapid population growth, and unplanned urbanization.

Modular construction, also known as prefabrication, is rapidly emerging as a transformative trend in the construction industry. This innovative approach involves assembling building components off-site in a controlled factory environment before transporting them to the site for final assembly. The rise of modular construction is largely driven by its ability to overcome several of the challenges associated with traditional construction methods.
