Open Sesame! 🧞😃🍃 Building special spaces that rethink and reframe 📸🌱
.
During @openhouse.zuerich last year I visited many interesting buildings. ☝️🤩💙
This primaryschool by Weyell Zipse was one of them and I enjoyed very much exploring it with my camera. Here some of the photographed moments, impressions. 📸🌿
🏫 The centerpiece of this building is the main atrium, an unheated space, that adapts to the seasons. The facade-high sliding doors allow the users to manuall control the environment, opening the space entirely in summer. 😍🌤️😎
.
💙 This building will be open again this Saturday, at Open House Zurich this year, happening during 26th and 27th of September.
Have you already planned your visit? There are 145 program points to choose through. 😍🙌
If you are going to be around, say hiii! 👋🤩

🌱A landscape that climbs the building 🏢🌳☀️
.
The stepped silhouette of the building, a result of the zoning setbacks, became an opportunity rather than a constraint: the terraces work as shelves for planting, offering users a great mix of sun exposure and fresh, green microclimates. 🌱🌞🍃
🤓☝️💬 In a dense industrial area where there’s little space left for planting at ground level, the greenery simply climbs up the building. Four facades, four faces to work with. Different systems and plant types ensure greenery possibilities in all four directions🌿🏢🌳 The green terraces bring shade, cool the surroundings, and make room for insects and birds. 🐝🦋🐦🍃
The spiral staircase ties all the terraces together, turning the journey through the building into a 'promenade architecturel'. 🌀🌱🚶‍♂️
.
📸🌿 I was commissioned by EM2N to photograph the project, focusing on plants, vegetation and the terraced greenery. [Post 3/3]
🌱 Finding ways to photograph the plants within the architectural space, and to understand the building through framings where vegetation becomes the protagonist, was a particularly enjoyable challenge. 🌿
😍☝️ How did you like the shots? 📸

🧞‍♂️🍃"What kind of spaces do we dream of
as the setting for our working lives?" ☕🏢🌳🌤️
Starting from the premise that spatial and architectural quality are essential to a good workplace, EM2N designed spaces that support an ideal working environment, providing room both for communication and for concentration, work and also have a rest. 🍃☕😃💬
.
As a part-time architect in this office and a user of these terraces (morning climbing to the workplace, lunch and a coffee break), I must say, we do appreciate (a lot!) this stepped jardin, ever changing plants and blooming bushes.☝️😚🌿🌼😃
Fancy an afterwork pingpong? 🏓

Cool down, Oasis at Sight 🌱🌳🏝️🤠
Building an urban microclimate
in a dense industrial district. 🌬️🍃
.
🤓☝️ With the arrival of the summer and good weather, the plants start to flourish, with new branches and leaves, vigorous bushes, and flowers everywhere. 🌱 The good thing about them? 🌿🌼🪻🌺 Apart from bringing lots of colour, the bushes and trees provide shade and together with their moisture, they cool down the atmosphere surrounding them. In a world that's getting hotter and hotter, such a passive cooling system is indeed cool, isn't it? 🌞😎🧃
I think we need more of these!
What do you think? 🤩🙌😎🌱
.
📸🌿 I was commissioned by EM2N to photograph the project, focusing on plants, vegetation and the terraced greenery.
🛩️ The drone shots provide an extra understanding of the building's stepped shape, its terraces full of plants, as well as its context within the urban landscape: a single green interruption at sight. 🏢🌳🏭🏣

A Playground for Architects🏓🚧🧩

The 2026 edition of @concentricofestival just wrapped in Logroño, and I spent it chasing the light, the scale, the small details. 📸✨

☝️🤓 This year moved across three ideas: architecture as storytelling (Identity & Fiction), design that answers to the climate (Urban Ecologies), and temporary builds used as social tools (Ephemeral Agents). 🌬️🌍⛺

What I love about this festival: these aren't renders or models. They're bold, full-scale ideas dropped straight into the streets. Catching how they bend the light, shift the scale of a familiar corner, and pull people in. That's the whole rush! 📸🙌

😍 Which intervention caught your attention this year?

📸 Architecture isn't always built to stand the test of time ⏳ sometimes, its power lies in disappearing. ✨

With the next edition of @concentricofestival just days away, I’m looking back at some of my favorite architectural interventions that took over Logroño last year. There is something very poetic about temporary structures; they challenge how we inhabit public spaces, force us to look at familiar streets with fresh eyes, and then leave without a trace... 🌬️🍃
As a photographer, capturing these fleeting moments is a rush. Once they are gone, the photos are all that remain of the experience. 📸🙌

Which of last year's installations did you find the most daring? And more importantly... who is heading to the 2026 edition next week? Let’s talk in the comments. 👇

Blossoms + architecture = the softest contrast in the city right now 🌸🏛️
Zurich showing off for a few weeks only… don’t miss these locations:

😌🫧 A retreat where design becomes an architectural meditation 🏔️🍃
📸 Second stop at @whitepodoriginal was the Zen Suite by @montalbaarchitects 🛋️🌿🫧
The dome structure hosts a world within itself: a themed space, which overlooked at the Swiss Alps 😍☝️ How do you like the moments I captured? 📸🙌🤩
And yes: the fire and spa-area made this space veeery cozy 😍☕📖🫧
.
🤓📝 Perched above Les Cerniers, the suite translates Wu Xing’s five movements of energy — 🪨 earth, 🌊 water, 🪵 wood, 💪 metal, and 🔥fire — into space and material. ✏️📐 Each curve, circle, and junction resonates with rhythm and purpose: the recessed bed at its core, the circular bath overlooking the valley, and the continuity of wood that grounds it all.
🏔️🫧🌲 Raised lightly on a platform to preserve the alpine terrain, the Pod redefines stillness through architecture — minimal, tactile, and deeply conscious of the landscape that shapes it. 🌄🔭
📸🏕️ A weekend that became less about capturing space, and more about feeling it.

🏔️🧭 Weekend in the Swiss Alps, at the Eco-Chalets by @montalbaarchitects 🏘️ ☺️☝️ A weekend surrounded by inspiration, snow, and thoughtful design. 👏😌❄️
🤩📸 Last weekend I had the chance to visit, stay and photograph the @whitepodoriginal Eco-Chalets, designed by Montalba Architects: 21 prefabricated timber volumes quietly resting above Monthey. 🌲🏘️ 🏔️
.
🤓💬 Each chalet is made from locally sourced larch wood, its façade designed to weather with time and blend into the alpine landscape (swipe and zoom in and out on the photographs! 😍☝️📸). Inside, understated materials like OSB and concrete create a tactile dialogue with the outdoors, while large triple-pane windows frame the ever-changing valley light. 🌄
🛋️ More than comfort, Whitepod is a case study in low-impact architecture🌿: powered by nearby hydro turbines 🌊 , warmed by radiant floors (this felt very comfy!☕), and prefabricated to reduce emissions. 🏗️ From concept to construction, every decision respects the environment it inhabits. 🏔️🏘️
.
🤩☝️ Would you stay here in winter or summer? ❄️🌿

Street Level, Activity Level ⚽🎨🪴🏎️
Any Car-Lovers around? 😍☝️🏁
Behind the "understated" entrance unfolds a surprisingly generous world: the entrance area ⚱️🎋, a gym 🏋️‍♂️ and a spa 🫧, bathed in daylight through floor-to-ceiling windows. ☀️🏡 With an impressive ceiling height of 3.5 meters 😱🏰, the lower level gathers an almost meditative sense of space and light. 🧘‍♂️🍃 Transparency, tactile materials, and quiet luxury define every zone. A home where craftsmanship meets clarity 📐✏️

Explorer feelin' 🤠😍☝️
Discovering more of the Atriumhaus 📸🏡📖
A house that feels both intimate and open 😌☀️🍃 Daylight flows deep into the interior through courtyards and generous glass surfaces, dissolving boundaries between inside and outside. 🏡📖 Subtle shifts of shadow animate the concrete and textured walls, while private garden niches ensure calm and retreat. The result is a living space that feels larger than it is: bright, fluid, and deeply connected to nature. 🌳🍃🌊🏊‍♂️
🤗 Thank you @raum_und_wohnen
for the great collaboration! 🔖📖
