GA Houses 159: Alberto Kalach Ryue Nishizawa Bgp Arquitectura

Mexican architects feature prominently in this issue of ‘GA Houses’, with four contemporary tropical residences designed by Alberto Kalach and one by Bernardo Gómez-Pimienta (bgp arquitectura). In addition, Yoshio Futagawa photographed two residences by Ogrydziak Prillinger Architects (Luke Ogrydziak and Zoë Prillinger), a practice based in San Francisco, which challenge that city’s strict preservation rules with dynamically angled interiors. Also featured is their “Shapeshifter”, a futuristic villa in Reno, Nevada. Rounding out the issue, Japanese architects Ryue Nishizawa, Taketo Shimohigoshi, and Kozo Kadowaki each contribute three efficient houses.
