Lavra House stands on a narrow urban lot in Matosinhos, Portugal, where WER Studio rethinks how a family home meets the Atlantic climate. The house inverts the conventional layout, dropping bedrooms to the ground floor and lifting social rooms to higher levels to gain privacy, light, and air. Across concrete, steel, and timber, the project choreographs daily life around a central stair and a rooftop terrace with pool.
Notting Hill Flat places a Grade II listed townhouse in London, United Kingdom, back into daily circulation with a clear, contemporary hand by WER Studio. The house shifts to an open, light-forward upper level and a calmer bedroom level below, preserving the building’s character while updating its workings. Across the plan, crafted cabinetry, refined finishes, and measured interventions turn a historic shell into a family home.
