Fowóralé II extends the calm, coastal character of the original building, completed in 2024 along the quiet, sun-dappled sands of Ilashe. This extension unfolds as a natural continuation of the first phase, with spaces thoughtfully oriented to capture natural light, coastal breezes, and views of the shoreline. The design balances areas for communal gathering with quieter moments of retreat, supporting everyday activity in harmony with the sea.

Built on a steeply sloped lot, House 258 arises from the principle of designing appropriately for the place, occupying the land and landscape with subtlety and respect while preserving the existing grove on the property.

Steep hillsides usually spell trouble for architects, but Alexis Dornier saw opportunity where others might see obstacles. His Villa Boë sits on one of the most challenging plots in Lombok's Tampah Hills development, where the ground drops away at angles that would make most builders nervous. Instead of fighting the slope, Dornier built with it, creating a house that climbs the hillside like it was always meant to be there.

The Miradora is a dwelling located in the central highlands of Ecuador, in the paramo ecosystem at 3403 meters above sea level. The elongated plot has access on one end from a local road and, on the other, a large ravine. On either side, neighboring prairies and large volcanoes define the location of the house. It sits at the highest point of the lot and takes advantage of a slight slope to open up to all views and organize its interior.
