Chiesa Della Compagnia Momus Architetti

The photographer Massimo Vitali lives with his wife and son in Lucca, Italy, in a 14th-century church that lay empty for 17 years. “The church was used mainly for storage,” Vitali said. “There were mice and birds in it, there was water. In Italy, when you purchase an ancient church, you have to keep it open; you cannot divide the space into smaller rooms.” For additional living space, Vitali’s architect, Paola Sausa ( from Momus Architetti), attached a former sacristy to the church.

Mithun led the integrated design process and a multidisciplinary team to achieve the engaging, high-performance facility.”

Slot House in London

In the words of the architects Studio Octopi:

The house had been extensively modified in the 1980s and suffered from a fragmented plan, poor connectivity between the principal living spaces and restrictive ceiling heights. The design sought to recapture and preserve the original proportions of the Georgian terrace building, whilst reinterpreting the layout to suit modern family living. A 10m high glass infill extension between the closet wing and the neighbouring property, divided as two sash windows, forms a double height living room at basement level and a master ensuite at first floor. An open tread stair allows views to stretch from the basement across the double height space to the first floor.

The closet wing was extended in brick to match the existing; this enabled the upper floors to be remodelled with increased head height and improved visual connectivity with the main house.  The upper closet wing windows take reference from the adjoining property; at ground floor the window stretches down to the basement echoing the double height space behind. A polished concrete floor in the basement extends out to the garden where a planted green wall allows maximum use of the terrace for entertaining.  The refurbished and extended house is 250sqm, with 30sqm of outdoor space.

Archeopark Pavlov

In the words of the architects Architektonicka kancelar Radko Kvet:

For many decades now, excavations at the complex of Palaeolithic (the period of mammoth hunters) settlements have unearthed a huge number of stone and bone tools and artwork, as well as the skeletal remains of anatomically modern humans. This puts Pavlov and Dolní Věstonice high on the list of the world’s leading archaeological sites. The site reminds us of a past historic age and is both part of the universal cultural heritage and a symbolic integral element of the local culture, fundamentally forming a relationship between the local population and the region. It has embodied cultural values that the local population takes pride in and establishes their relation to the country.
