Each year the Architecture & Design issue of HOMEWORKS rolls around, it’s fascinating to reflect on just how quickly the context of clever architecture changes. Maximising space intelligently has always been an architect’s true accolade, but with the price of square metreage increasing by the day, the space, light and air ventilation challenges are heightening in turn. This issue celebrates architects who have mastered these three imperative elements through extremely well thought-out design and creative flexibility. This edition also explores the offices and studios designed by some of Malta’s top architects and designers for their own firms.
