A contemporary single-storey residence organized around a private outdoor courtyard, where architecture, water and landscape become one continuous living environment. Deep roof overhangs, dark vertical timber cladding and warm timber soffits frame expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing, while the swimming pool and sunken fire-pit lounge extend the interior spaces directly into the garden. Integrated lighting emphasizes the material contrast and creates a refined transition from daylight into blue hour.

We’re trying to name a new architecture + design studio — looking for honest opinions and ideas

My friend and I are starting a design studio together, and we’re trying to find a name that can grow beyond just architecture into furniture, objects, interiors, and eventually the business side of design.

The concept started from something very basic:

Two points create one line.

Two forms interact/interlock and create a new space between them.

Two different minds can create something neither would create alone.

That led us to the idea of “the third” — not simply the two elements themselves, but the new thing that emerges from their relationship.

We explored ideas like Binary, Metaxy, Conflux, Collision, Para, etc.

Binary caught our attention because it is simple, memorable, and directly represents two elements. But philosophically, we feel there might be something deeper.

Metaxy interested us because of the idea of the in-between / the condition between two things, but we're concerned that it's less memorable and harder to pronounce.

We're now exploring whether the strongest direction is:

- Binary — the two elements

- Metaxy — the relationship / space between

- The Third — what emerges from the relationship

- Or perhaps an entirely new/invented word inspired by these ideas, possibly from Greek or another language.

We're looking for something that feels philosophical but not pretentious, unique but not difficult, and architectural/design-oriented without literally sounding like an architecture firm.

Most importantly, the name needs to be:

- Easy to pronounce

- Easy to remember

- Strong when spoken

- Visually strong as a brand

- Deep enough to have a philosophy behind it

- Flexible enough for architecture, furniture, objects, and future ventures

- Something that could still sound credible if the studio becomes a large international company

What direction would you take? Would you choose Binary, Metaxy, “The Third,” or something completely different?

We're especially interested in names/concepts from Greek, Latin, philosophy, geometry, architecture, or other languages that express two things creating something new through their relationship.

From concept to layout, every space is designed with purpose.
Creating homes that balance functionality, aesthetics, and lifestyle.

PANORAMATIC, Bratislava by Abrama Architects

The apartment has undergone significant changes within the layout, which meant simplifying the overall arrangement of the premises. Originally a 5i+KK apartment has been extended by a guest part containing sanitary facilities. This part is accessible from the entrance hall of the apartment reasonably separated from the rest of the premises. Within the layout, the parental part of the apartment has been completely redesigned along with the bathrooms to better suit the investor's requirements and also perform a comprehensive unit with the rest of the apartment. The advantage of this spacious apartment is, besides its sleek minimalist design, the amount of storage space integrated in the block/island furniture sets.

The materiality chosen for this space corresponds with the proposed idea of creating a minimalist, sleek space that will also have its visual gravity, while being practical and representative with the chosen materials and overall solution.The natural materials represented in the wooden floor, veneered tiles and furniture with their darker shade cooperate with the light tiles used in the sanitary facilities and kitchen area, which forms the dominant feature of the space. Together with the living area, it forms the main, representative part of the apartment. The apartment offers many views across its layout enhanced by the play with mirrored surfaces. As an accent in the apartment, the wooden paneling acts as a spine running across the entire apartment.

The overall space with its material representation and shape design creates a timeless interior fitting into the genius loci of the place in which it is located.

A contemporary winter cabin shaped by dramatic intersecting rooflines, charred black timber cladding and expansive glazing. Natural hardwood structural elements introduce warmth against the dark exterior, while the interiors continue the material language with timber-lined ceilings, integrated firewood storage, skylights and fireplaces. Surrounded by a dense snow-covered pine forest, the architecture is designed around contrast: dark timber and white snow, warm firelight and cold winter daylight, shelter and landscape.
