The wooden office in Olgino, St. Petersburg.

Three-storey oblong-shaped building is based on 12 wooden frames, total area 1200 m².

The finishes use wood and brick. The long side walls are clad in brick with an interesting technique, part of the masonry is traditionally horizontal and part vertically oriented. The blocks alternate in a staggered pattern. The main facade is entirely glazed, and almost all the interior partitions are also in glass, creating a sense of openness and welcomingness.

Transformation of the Carlsberg plant in Copenhagen into a residential area. ADEPT architects.

Theodora House is built on the site of the original yeast warehouse and named after the daughter of the brewery's founder. Most of the new development is occupied by apartments.

The red brick was used for the mixed use, typical of industrial buildings from the early 20th century. The purpose of making the facade more interesting and dynamic is to use ornamentation and the curving brick form. The interior façade is white with a crate for climbing plants to cover the entire façade.
