- House
We design houses in difficult places: on the edge of cliffs, rivers, rice fields, and grasslands. The building has to give way to the land, never the other way round.

Ironwood salvaged from an old jetty and a low roof that lets the savanna breeze through, no air conditioning needed.

Four edges
Cliff
A cantilever and one retaining wall. Foundations touch the slope as little as possible.
River
Floors on stilts above the fifty-year flood line, and a garden that is allowed to flood.
Paddy
The building follows the terraces instead of cutting through them. Irrigation water keeps flowing under the floor.
Savanna
Low, wide roofs, walls that open fully, and the wind as air conditioning.
