Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac near São Paulo's Ibirapuera Park, Casa MA, designed by RUA 141 arquitetura, proves that constraint can be a powerful design catalyst. With just 13 feet of frontage and a depth of just under 60 feet, the narrow lot might suggest compromise. Instead, the house unfolds as a layered, light-filled retreat shaped by movement, materials, and nature integration.

Text description provided by the architects. FNN Sustainability Center was designed within Tekfen Construction's Machine Maintenance Facilities in Ceyhan for archive, museum, and administrative office use. In the project area, which also includes a steel manufacturing workshop, the main purpose was to highlight the steel, which forms the structural system of the building, as a design element. The archive is a completely self-enclosed program, the museum is a completely extroverted program, and the office acts as an organism that is partly closed and partly open.
