In a 1977 lecture titled "How to live together", Roland Barthes asked: how distant from others must we keep ourselves to develop a sociability with them, whilst maintaining our individual freedom?
Two years later, Pierre Bourdieu produced a stratified map of social space and argued that social capital is not uniformly available and depends on an individual's social status.
These concepts informed our design for the 11,500 square-metre residential block in La Defense-Nanterre, Paris.
The intention was to remove any stratification between the households based on social status, whilst providing each with privacy.

MOCA Cleveland is a contemporary art museum designed to serve as a public 'living room' in a cosmopolitan Cleveland neighborhood, and to act as a catalyst for creativity and growth for the city.
Its twisting architectural form shifts from a compact hexagonal base to a rectangular roof, creating a new public plaza, a soaring atrium and a dynamic double-decker staircase.
Located at a busy intersection on a triangular site, the building anchors Cleveland's Uptown District, which is home to one of the country's largest concentrations of cultural, educational and medical institutions.

Our proposal for the Guggenheim Helsinki is an infinitely adaptable structure that both accommodates the diversity of art - now and its indeterminate future - in its very structure and composition, and mediates between the museum as a place for encountering art and the city of Helsinki without making the two seamless, or becoming a 'decorated shed': an urban sculpture with a functioning museum within.
The museum is split into two distinct areas: a cruciform volume accommodating the galleries surrounded by a plinth housing the non-exhibition program to act as an interior urban living room.

The Torrevieja Municipal Theatre and Auditorium was commissioned as part of a larger urban infrastructure program intended to raise Torrevieja's profile beyond its status as a mass tourist destination.
Located on a corner site of a block in the town centre, the project comprises a 650-seat theatre and auditorium and the redevelopment of the existing neighbouring plaza.
Given the scarce amount of space available, the design lifts the auditorium from the ground level so that the plaza penetrates the plot and becomes a foyer underneath the cantilevered mass of the building.
