CICERON II in Polanco, Mexico City by Dellekamp Arquitectos

Friday, July 20th, 2012

Article source: Dellekamp Arquitectos

This three-apartment penthouse building on the corner of Calle Cicerón, located in Mexico City’s high-end residential hub of Polanco, resorts to a single structural strategy for all its achievements. Instead of investing in façade design, it bets on a structure of clear-cut spatial intention that maximizes window view while preserving privacy.

Reorganization of the Victoria Kent Park in Sevilla, Spain by Antonio Blanco Montero

Friday, July 20th, 2012

Article source: Antonio Blanco Montero

The intervention takes place in a park area in which the expectations of the original project didn’t reach the estimated reactions, leaving a marginal area with no treatment other than the concrete block paving, out of scale and without an intended use. The situation is bound to lack of maintenance of urban furniture and equipment. It is detected lack of recreational areas, as the wooded areas are fenced with hedges that prevent people from resting in the shade.

Saijo Clinic in Tokyo, Japan by Aida Atelier, Inc.

Article source: Aida Atelier, Inc.

Saijo Clinic is a private mental health clinic with short-care/group-care programs on the 11^thfloor penthouse of a building facing Shinjuku Gyoen Park, 58ha urban park located in central Tokyo. The penthouse was originally built as a part of a gigantic signboard on rooftop. The sign graphic was later abolished by newly introduced landscape regulations, however, the space inside was left over. In designing the interior of the clinic, we sought to incorporate the extraordinary contrast between different urban scales.

Private house at Reguengos in Alentejo, Portugal by Henrique Barros-Gomes

Friday, July 20th, 2012

Article source: Henrique Barros-Gomes

With a contemporary and minimalist approach, this exposed concrete weekend house is to be located in a rural area in upstate Reguengos de Monsaraz, Alentejo, Portugal.

The site is a clearing with dense wooded surroundings. The house has large glazed surfaces, increasing the interior exterior relation. Wooden sliding louvres, recessed in the walls, provide shade from the sun and protection from intruders. Roof slabs extend to the exterior, shading the glazed panels.
