The first steps to rebuild Ukraine.
Within six months, we've constructed 13 private houses in the de-occupied village of Stary Bykiv.

This construction was more than just bricks and mortar; it was about:

- achieving this on a shoestring budget, in fact, within traditional temporary module plastic house costs;
- infusing the village with fresh energy and skills needed in the community.

The Streetbox is a pocket skatepark but also a complete portable lounge, foldable in a wooden box, on wheels, measuring 110x55x50 cm, which contains 6 elements like a Matryoshka that allow multiple configurations.
Street Box has the superpower of transforming any urban space into an area equipped both for carrying out sports activities on wheels (skateboards, scooters, bmx, etc.) and for sitting together, reclaiming the city and its underused spaces. Maybe after shredding them!

Almost a century ago, there was a winery in a small village with open doors for visitors and friends where joy sparkled. With time, the winery grew old and lost its spirit. The Gamboa’s Place project redesigned this family winery as a guest house, valuing local heritage and recovering the sense of belonging in the neighbourhood. Mixing wine and creativity with art, the winery now welcomes families and friends who come for special events like weddings and birthdays, regaining its meeting spirit.

Jubileumsparken is one of the Gothenburg’s largest park projects and a fantastic way to celebrate the city’s 400th anniversary in 2023. The design runs on two parallel tracks. Firstly, a series of temporary parks and installations have been set up during public workshops dating back to 2014. Secondly, the first part of a permanent park was completed in 2023. The park is a meeting place between people and nature, but also an outdoor living room for people with different backgrounds and interests.

The aim of the project was to educate students about their own and other partners' local environment, their regional ecosystems and the problems and issues facing their regions with the resolve of finding feasible ways of protecting and sustaining the place of living and sharing this information with the local community. Partnership of four countries from different parts of
Europe helps deeper understand and practise issues connected with living in EU
