When we first visited our site, there was a grove on the lot beside it. When we started to construct our project these trees were already removed from the mentioned lot. On our first design of this project, we decided to remove the grove in the neighboring site completely. In this way, we tried to incorporate the original landscape of the city on our site.
The general design of the project answers mainly to the adequacy of its to the environment. The building is set back from the property line leaving a free space that works as a public urban development and allowing the pedestrian access. This gives continuity to the city in order to promote the rapprochement of the citizen to a public building, by tradition, used to be considered as closed and hermetic place.
The house for an eccentric client erected in the very middle of Černá za Bory belonging to a cadastral area of the town of Pardubice characterized s a heterogeneous suburban built-up area of a family housing type as far as expression is concerned, has been developed for several years. Even in spite of troublesome complications cause by inconsistency of civil contractors the project is coming to its end.
Screenplayby Oyler Wu Collaborative will be on view from 6/22 to 6/24 at Dwell on Design 2012 at LA Convention Center.
Screenplay is conceived of as a ‘play’ on one’s visual perception. This twenty-one foot long screen wall is constructed of forty-five thousand linear feet of rope strung through a series of lightweight steel frames. The wall is designed with the intention of provoking a sense of curiosity by slowly revealing its form and complexity through physical and visual engagement with the work. The wall is made from a repetitious steel framework with rope infill that varies over the length of the wall in three dimensions, forming a thickened undulating screen made up of dense line-work.
Nicholas Kirk Architects have been appointed to design a folly for the London Festival of Architecture. The practice have design a project that augments reality whereby visitors enter into an environment that does not quite appear as it should. The architecture creates an illusion whereby perspective views are distorted inside the space and scale and proportion are challenge the senses.
The renovation of the industrial building was done to reduce energy consumption for heating by installing a polystyrene foam “coat” on all the external involucre. Particular attention was also given to the summer behavior of the building that had significant overheating problems. All windows of the south side have been screened by curved section brise-soleil manually adjustable: trough this setting you can block the passage of sunlight in summer and instead favoring the passive solar contribution in winter season.

Modulo mobil is a “bookcase – storage – furniture” designed to provide adaptability to every type of home, space and need. The customer can buy the number of modules that he likes, choosing between the largest and the smallest element, composing them together in endless combinations. Depending on the modulo mobil’s configuration that one wants is possible to buy accessories separately: colored and transparent plexiglass drawers for both types of modules, feet for ground support and steel cables for hanging items on walls.
THE PROJECT AIMS TO TRANSFORM THE HISTORIC BUILDING OF A PUMPING STATION INTO A PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDIO. THE BUILDING IS LOCATED IN A LITTLE FREQUENTED DISTRICT OF THE CITY. A CHARACTERISTIC FEATURE OF THE PROJECT IS A TERRACE ON THE GARDEN SIDE WHICH EXTENDS INTO THE EXTERNAL BLINDS. THE CLOSED BLINDS BECOME INVISIBLE AND BLEND INTO THE SURROUNDING, WHILE THE OPEN BLINDS REVEAL THE WORKSPACE LOCATED ON -1LEVEL. A CONFERENCE ROOM HAS BEEN DESIGNED IN THE OLD WATER TANK.
The master’s postulates a design of a new jetty with a café in Kołobrzeg and rearranging the adjoining area. The project is the solution for a current problem i.e. insufficient presentation of a landscape quality. Thoroughly analysed and evaluated, the plan guarantees functionality of the jetty and its surroundings. The urban concept gives an example of rearranging the district containing the jetty, creating representative public spaces, improving the main scenic pedestrian zone confined by the new service buildings and solving current communication problems.
A new office for the century-old firm NFOE et associés architectes
NFOE et associés architectes, founded in 1912, recently moved its offices into Old Montreal. The building, the first skyscraper in Montreal – better known as the New York Life Building (1887–89) – stands out from its surroundings for its exuberant cladding of Scottish red sandstone and red granite from the Thousand Islands. NFOE’s Bureau 100 facing the historic Place d’Armes square, is thus integrated with an environment that evokes the history of the firm founded by Ernest I. Barott (as Barott, Blackader & Webster) in 1912.
