Carton Levert House
A house and office in County Donegal, in the west of Ireland, make a refreshing change from much of the depressing housing that has gone up in the country in the last few decades. Responding to very specific requirements from the clients for notions of retreat and also flexibility, the buildings are uncompromisingly modern, while making deliberate references to the material palettes of local agricultural buildings.

Oceania Shopping Centre
The Oceania Shopping Centre sits at a major road junction in the heart of Moscow. Bordered on one side by a major boulevard and Victory Park on one side, and high-density housing on the other, the site offered the Asadov Architectural Studio a major challenge. As a shopping centre, the building would serve an ‘introverted’ audience, one that is focussed on what is inside. But it also needed to remain connected to the external, divergent landscape. The building also had to meet the client’s requirements for a light, modern, and attractive structure.
