Kalam by Paddy House / Episode architects

For 20 years, this building stood abandoned — a silent reminder of forgotten spaces and wasted potential. Yet every abandoned structure carries hidden stories waiting to be reimagined. A century-old granary, left unused for decades, has now been thoughtfully transformed into a boutique farmhouse through architectural ingenuity and carefully chosen materials. Set against the backdrop of the Western Ghats and nestled between lush paddy fields and a serene pond, Kalam embodies rustic charm and timeless beauty.

MICROSCOPES – “Architecture is a microcosm”. The concept of “place” and “Ego” in architecture has also become the theme of Contemporary Architecture over the past decades.

Being part of a series of projects on resort villas and small homestays, “MÔ” originates from the word “where” in the Central Vietnamese dialect, and is also a friendly invitation from indigenous people.

The design inspiration for this project stems from the image of a flower. The most beautiful parts of a flower—its bud and its petals—evoke softness, splendor, and refined aesthetics. Yet behind that beauty lies the slender stem, quietly bearing the entire weight of the structure.

Cafe Zest / VAHID JOUDI STUDIO [Architecture + Design + Construction]

November 29, 2025 Miwa Negoro 0

The Zest Café project was defined within the seasonal villa context of Karimabad, Shahsavar; a neighborhood that, due to the transient presence of residents and lack of integration with daily urban life, has remained devoid of vitality, and existing cafés have failed to become sustainable social hubs. The client’s request was the revitalization of an abandoned rental villa and its transformation into a public, youth-oriented space.
