Located in a Central Tacoma neighborhood with a mix of single-family homes, apartment buildings, and the eclectic establishments of the Sixth Avenue business district, the Prospect endeavors to set a new standard for urban livability and offers a fresh take on the fourplex.
The project features a pair of modern residential duplexes with a landscaped courtyard in between. Each building contains a ground floor studio/workspace and a two-bedroom dwelling unit above, totaling four dwelling units in about 3,000 square feet of living space. The Prospect provides superior quality in rental housing via thoughtfully planned layouts, elegant interiors crafted from simple materials, and living-level access to outdoor amenity space.
Splitting the project into two structures and keeping the building footprints small helps maintain privacy and a sense of spaciousness for residents and neighbors, despite the 25’ X 100’ lot dimensions and minimal setbacks.
The “Courbes” project is part of the urban renewal program of the ZAC Charles de Gaulle in Colombes. The area is easily identified thanks to the eclectic architecture of the urban fabric, blending bungalows and apartment houses dating from the 1980s-90s. The tramway has finally reached this neighborhood, which has enabled the beginning of its genuine transformation owing to its highly prized proximity to the business district of La Défense.
A large residental compound, located in traditional city villas quarter Hanspaulka, is surrounded by a historical garden park, on a sloping terrain. The garden itself, together with panoramic views of Pragues skyline, are the main inspirations for the design concept. Its massing and apparently minimalist composition is formed by ingenious stacking of five blocks – storeys. The lowest one – entrace and parking level extending to the exterior granit covered yard is wholly cut into the terrain. The second storey is also partly submerged. It is the largest by floor area and forming masonry pedestal of the house.
Composed of three pavilions connected by a series of glass hallways, the single-story residence seeks to create a residential oasis in the heart of Los Angeles. The Western Red Cedar lined guest house/garage pavilion establishes a datum line that carves and connects the two larger volumes of the living and sleeping pavilions, comprised of oversized charcoal-colored board, batten extira and cement board siding. A deep overhang mitigates solar heat gain and shields from the sun exposure.
A walkway of concrete pavers, lined by wild grasses leads to the front door, passing a tranquil courtyard with olive trees. The entry to the house is located within a glass hallway connecting the living pavilion to the west and the sleeping pavilion to the east, establishing a sense of intimate scale before engaging with the other parts of the house.
We got a building of the pre-revolutionary period (2 level building built in 1914) not far from the center of Moscow. All interior and stylistic decisions were built in the context of the architecture of this house. This apartment is located on the second floor already had a place for a fireplace and the height of the ceilings was 420 cm before it collapsed. When the brick ceiling that lay on the rotten boards fell down, under it we found centuries-old wooden beams, and metal I-beams (behind which we later hid the backlight), and mezzanine window, all these elements dictated a lot in the project. Of course, it brought a lot of trouble, but it was worth it, it allowed to create a mezzanine pantry above the bedroom, and a mezzanine above the bathroom, access to it through the library staircase. At the end above the library, I managed to make a light window into the bathroom, I think this is the good element in the project. Thanks to the roof, the mezzanine window turned out to be a space flooded with light. Such design decisions and the amount of light (which is unusual for Moscow) reminded me of a Mediterranean house, hence the stylistics.
Artytechs’s vision of the urban development of the modern city and Tbilisi in particular.
Tbilisi is a city where primarily concern in terms of urban development is the adaption of architecture with existing environment, considering the landscape and maintaining the scale of the buildings surrounding the project area, which in most cases requires distinctive and unique approach.
Tbilisi is characterized with terraced terrain which accordingly directs our architectural vision to tailor our projects in a corresponding way. This kind of approach makes the landscape diverse, attractive and interesting for all types of buildings, whether it is residential, commercial or of any other kind. Hanging gardens with the automatic irrigation system promote the vertical development of the landscape and aesthetically blends with the exterior of a building.
Instead of massive concrete buildings we bring a new look of the city, contributing to the proper architectural development in Tbilisi.
Commissioned and built by luxury developer, Regal London, in partnership with Simon Bowden Architecture, this ten-storey residential building delivers 49 apartments in one of London’s most prestigious suburbs; St John’s Wood.
The surrounding area is characterized by mid 20th Century mansion blocks, the nicest of which are in the Art Deco style. Our design drew inspiration from the Art Deco form, the curved bays are one of the building’s signature features. Also, the imprint of a leaf motif is a modern interpretation of the Deco pattern with its precise geometry and clear lines.
Čerešne Living is Bratislava´s new city district which will continue developing also in other stages of construction. A unique residential district with the modern-day urban qualities of an advanced, developing European city is appearing in an area which has not been urbanized until now – in Polianky, between Patrónka, Kramáre, Karlova Ves and Dúbravka, in a forgotten territory of inaccessible gardens and industrial infrastructure, but also in an attractive location between a forest, gardens, a shopping centre and a well-known housing estate.
The site is located in a 5-minute walk from the station of Funabashi (Chiba, Tokyo), near the Keisei elevated tracks where an alley gives access to both of them.
Funabashi is a major bed town if the metropolis developed after the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and, even now, is still under expansion.
Even though the station area is completely renewed and the north-south main roads are under maintenance, around the site you will find an old-aged residential area full of wooden buildings squeezed in a tight net composed of small alleys.
Extensive refurbishment and interiors fit out of a central london flat in a mansion block originally constructed at the turn of the last century. The works included substantial structural modifications altering the flat’s layout and introducing new services.
