    COA Arquitectura adds "earth-toned" home to Mexican forest
    Blocky forms and triangular cutouts intersect to form Casa Cielo, a monolithic house that Mexican studio COA Arquitectura has added to a forest in Jalisco.
    Nestled among trees on the triangular site, the Mexican home is coated in textural, earth-toned plaster and punctured by angular openings, balconies, and semi-outdoor spaces.

    The Grid Architects completes sculptural ferrocement workplace in Ahmedabad
    Indian studio The Grid Architects has created a curvilinear office in Ahmedabad that is constructed from white ferrocement.
    Informed by the Sanskrit word for "flow", the 200-square-metre workplace is located at a prominent road intersection in a densely populated area surrounded by ongoing construction work.
    It is defined by white undulating walls, which are formed from ferrocement – a low-tech form of reinforced concrete – and help it to stand out in this busy urban environment
