Gentle Mates Gaming House draws visitors through a sequence of charged interiors in Paris, France, devised by ZYVA Studio for a professional esports collective. Set up as a leisure-focused gaming house, the project layers honey-toned wood, neon light, and candy-core color to mirror the psychological shifts of competition. Each level stages a different tempo, from calm preparation to hyper-focused play, while keeping the team closely connected.

House of Monitors sits on the Scarborough, Canada edge as a compact house shaped by light and structure. Designed by Williamson Williamson, the project responds to fragile bluff conditions with a precise mix of concrete shoring and cantilevered wood volumes. Within this tailored envelope, daily life unfolds against controlled daylight, tactile finishes, and a clear reading of how the building is made.
