La Peña House is a project designed by Central de Arquitectura. A context of unique visuals, where the beauty of Miguel Alemán Dam and the famous Peña of Valle de Bravo, become protagonists to take note of, where the scenery demanded the welcoming feel of red brick be maintained, as did the inclination of the roofing structures. Essential characteristics of the Mexican Magic towns. Photography by Celia Rojo Photography, Aveh Studio.
GOLDENE ROSE by noa*: A kaleidoscope of the past. It is not unusual for adjoining buildings to become architecturally connected. But this project’s story is one of a kind: in the former imperial city of Dinkelsbühl, noa* has succeeded in giving different architectural identities, each with its own history and peculiarities, a common face.

Villa Emma designed by Mario Mazzer Architects melts the rigour of a “Stazzu”, the local rural buildings, with the modern house principles of open floor plans and connection between outdoor and indoor spaces. It recalls the Sardinian rural house both in the simple rectangular shape with pitched roof and the interior distribution with bedrooms on the longest side. Photography by Filippo Bamberghi

Perched just above the blue expanse of the Atlantic Ocean in Clifton, Cape Town, this opulent yet timelessly elegant two-level ground floor apartment boasts a perfect balance between luxury and comfort. The total redesign in terms of interior architecture together with the décor furnishings, it embodies and reflects the clients love of travel in an understated and individual way.

Benguela is a residences completed by ARRCC in collaboration with SAOTA.
