PROJECT #11 is an interior renovation to a 4-bedroom apartment for its new home owners, a couple whom entertains frequently.
To make way for a larger space to entertain and lounge around, 4 former bedrooms were reduced to 2 through the demolition of internal walls. This demolition lead to the discovery of the inherent structure of the apartment; It being supported by structural shear walls.
This discovery lead to the concept of Walls as Spatial Organizers and Dividers in this open-plan apartment.
PA House is a private house for a small and new settled family. There are 3 bedrooms including one master bedroom and two bedrooms reserving for guest and their child in the future. Not only the bedrooms but there are also 2 more main requirements from the owner which are a great common area for living and dining, where the owners always get together with their friends as the new generation’s lifestyle does, and the privacy, the owner’s most important issue, from the unpleasant surroundings. While the house needs privacy, it still has to be roomy and clear in the same time.
Inspired by the simple and prevalent image of wood docks found along the edges of the Muskoka lakes, the boathouse was conceived as a series of planar elements that slide past one another. The slippage of planes echoing the movement of water as it shifts course.
Casablanca, the economic capital of Morocco, is a hyperactive and chaotic city of nearly 5 million inhabitants where cars are steadily replacing trees.
When designing a home for my family, I had in mind the idea of a quiet place away from chaos, a fortress against the constant agitation of everyday life.
Gradually, this idea was nourished by the image of the Riad, this typical Arab-Andalusian house modestly closed off from the public and open in its center on a planted patio.
For the past 47 years, the TL Robertson Library at Curtin University in Perth, Aus-tralia has stood as an iconic brutalist structure that welcomes two million visits annually by students, faculty and the greater Perth community. Danish architectural firm Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects, together with Australia-based Hames Sharley, is leading the redevelopment of the library that will modernise the building, making it more than just a storehouse of books.
The library, built in 1972, was originally designed with little natural daylight in order to protect the thousands of books and other physical materials in its collection. Schmidt Hammer Lassen aims to create a “living library” by opening up new path-ways for visual and physical connectivity throughout the building site, while bringing natural light into the space. The new open, light-filled scheme will support knowledge sharing and connection, and ensure the library meets the needs of future users.
The Project for the Defensoría Zonal N°2 of the city of Santa Fe, is a work of great importance for the Poder Judicial since it will achieve a notable improvement in the justice service that is now provided in that area of the city.
It is noteworthy that the building had to be inserted in a triangular terrain with particular measurements, that gave the indications that generated the final morphology of the work.
Client: Poder Judicial de la Provincia de Santa Fe
Project and Construction Management: Arq. Juan Valiente – Arq. Sebastián Adelia – Arq. Luis Carreras – Tec. Javier Gonzalez – Tec. Bruno Gripaldi- Arq. Barbara Battle Casas – Architect Sebastian Soriano
Raw, devoid from cosmetic elements, minimal, almost martial… this is the resulting speech that communicates our proposal for Irori Mérida. The material palette is very straight forward: stone, concrete, steel, wood and vegetation; Being the same with the color palette which is evoked by the materials for them to bring up the variety of flavors there is to taste. Using three stores of a Street Mall which was previously designed by us, we propose two concepts in the same space: a restaurant and a bar, the leading role on the first one is the Sushi Bar which poses centered in the back, for the second one, the Sake bar is located in the front which unites both concepts and a future exterior terrace. Both bars are concrete blocks covered in Oak wood using clean strokes, that are only meant to be the background of what will be served on top.
The site is located in Nerima-ku, Tokyo, a little away at the end of a crowded shopping street.
Originally, the site was owned by the father-in-law of the client, who ran a business there. At the timing of his retirement, the client was considering moving from the previous home, and a family meeting was held. After that, as another way of using the site, they decided that they had the house remodeled to a two-family houses.
Furthermore, the site is 25 tsubo (about 83㎡), category 1 exclusive districts for low-rise residential buildings is applied, building coverage ratio is 50%, it’s in quasi-fire prevention districts, and a parking space for father and mother-in-law is required.
Located in an ancient neighbor in Hongkou district, Shanghai, the project is part of a popular TV show called Dream Home. The renovation designed by On Design Studio aim to provide a new identity to the interior of a 100 years old apartment by creating a balance between the historical aspects of the existing location and a more stylish, contemporary space to reflect the changing needs of the owners with an eye toward the future.
These new requirements break with the previous layout, where segregated spaces, undefined uses, low quality light and a lack of comfort were the norm.
Esi burger is a cozy intimate restaurant located on Sohrevardi Street in Tehran, very close to people’s gathering space in Palizi square.
Before Admun Studio was commissioned to design this project the place had been used as a branch of quite a well-known chain restaurant and in spite of being in a crowded neighborhood it could not attract enough customers and this made us wonder what was going on in nearby juice shops and small restaurants surrounding Palizi square that attracted people from different parts of Tehran while these places did not provide considerable amenities (not even sitting spaces) and yet their customers looked satisfied and content. Seemed like lack of amenities did not matter to their customers so there should exist something more important on this square and it was very interesting for the design team. Probably people can satisfy one of their other needs on this square, need for freedom, choice, and social relationships. They like to be free of musts and must nots and share the joy and excitement of a social activity with other human beings.
