architecture

Like so many other buildings in Portugal, this has been a ruin for decades. Located in São Pedro, Sintra, a world heritage village with a mountain full of Palaces, Castle, Convents, and other natural marvels. This small building was completely renovated by Pereira Miguel Arquitectos to accommodate two tourist apartments. Its architectural and landscape surroundings make it integrated into the historic setting and serene environment of Sintra. ph Rute Raposo

Comfort Town Housing by archimatika. The first residential complex in Ukraine based on the block development principle. Picturesque building silhouettes, elaborated apartment layouts, and fully pedestrian courtyards became the standard of comfort class in the Ukrainian residential property. Due to the city block concept, the area is divided into two types: streets (allowing for motor traffic) and courtyards (located inside the block and featuring children’s playgrounds, benches, and alleys). Motor vehicles cannot enter these inner courtyards, with the exception of emergency service vehicles which can use widened passageways paved with grass paver. image Alexander Angelovskiy
