Located in one of the most desirable and picturesque districts of Paris, this cosy, one bedroom 75m2 flat embodied most of the challenges commonly encountered in parisian elder buildings. Although daylight pours from windows on both ends, the apartment’s core seemed to stretch along a dark and rather narrow corridor. The new owner’s desire to make it a two-bedrooms was the perfect opportunity to give it a full fresh and comfortable refurbishment.
A young executive from São Paulo lives on this 125m2 apartment. The apartment 73 of the Flora Building is a creation (from design to execution) by Studio Arquiteturas (or Architectures in English). “The client was very open during the creative process. He arrived with no images or references. So we strived to understand his personality and lifestyle”, explains the architect Luciana Uras from Studio Arquiteturas.
Surprises from the apartment start on the entrance hall. The blue bar is the invitation to visit the apartment and taste its many details, spread on the walls, floor and ceiling. Primary colors and lots of wood and concrete make an integrated space with hall, kitchen, TV and dining room. All furniture is of contemporary Brazilian design.
Located at 1,700 m in the Borjomi region of Georgia, Bakuriani is nestled in the shadows of the breathtaking Caucasus Mountains, only a three-hour drive from Tbilisi. Home to dozens of alpine slopes and cross-country trails, it offers some of the most spectacular skiing and snowboarding in Europe.
Originally developed as an Olympic training facility, unsurprisingly, Bakuriani is Georgia’s most popular winter sports and recreation destination. Enjoy the downhill ski runs, cross-country trails, horseback tours, sledding or simply take long walks through beautiful snowy forests.
The Tall Timber Building residence has become a landmark and, during construction, became Sweden’s tallest solid wooden building in the new district of Kajstaden at Lake Mälaren in Västerås. All parts of the building consist of cross-laminated wood, which includes the walls, joists and balconies as well as the lift and stairwell shafts.
Kajstaden – Tall Timber Building is an important landmark for sustainable construction and a reference project that shows that conversion to climate conscious architecture is possible. Through research projects and several active wood projects, C.F. Møller Architects has focused on innovation as well as developing and implementing multi-storey buildings with solid wood frames. In Kajstaden, an active decision was made to prioritise industrial timber techniques for the building material to influence and take responsibility for the impact of the construction industry on the environment and climate change. A crucial advantage of wood, unlike other building materials, is that the production chain for the material produces a limited amount of carbon dioxide emissions. Instead, it is part of a closed cycle, where carbon is retained in the frame of the building.
Research also shows that buildings with a wooden frame make a positive contribution to human health and well-being- thanks to better air quality and acoustic qualities.
Structuring the spaces by reasonable groups detonate the distribution: the moderated space accompanies the living area that studies perspectives from its entrance and practices auctions full of materiality. The one that hides and then comes as a surprise is the private area which welcomes us to an intimate atmosphere, a comfort space outside the bedroom that can also be perceived as part of it.
The prudence in the nuances of the materials emphasizes with a bold accent the furniture. The texture always draws the material with selected veins for each environment, which together with the development of the straight line make up a space for a user who understand the significance of details.
Serenely pale above Bank Street. A thorough reinvention of a generously scaled but awkward post-war West Village Apartment. Lightened and subtly textured materials, and exactingly detailed custom elements create an elegant and informal living environment for a professional couple. A reconstructed kitchen, anchored by a sturdy block of richly figured Vermont marble and bleached ash cabinetry establishes a functional and airy center that integrates an informal bar and entertaining zone, generous work area, and a pull-out concealed television.
This is an apartment for singles. The floor area of the dwelling unit is small, about 26m2.
I think this is an apartment for singles with an average floor area in Japan, but it should be called a micro apartment. There are large industrial areas and universities nearby. This was built for the residence of those who commute to them. The building has three floors, and there are eight dwelling units on the second and third floors. The first floor will be a beauty salon and study school.
The Jewel Box is a study of space efficiency, creating the illusion of a larger space through multiple experiences within a 430 square foot New York City ‘Studio’ apartment.
The client’s wanted a pied-à-terre that felt like a room at a boutique hotel, a program that could accommodate cooking and entertaining and they did not want to see their bed. Our goal, was to maximize the physical and atmospheric size of a singular space, its storage capacity, while creating multiple experiences that all fit efficiently into an organized structure inspired by such objects as jewel boxes, steamer trunks, and recreational vehicles.
The urban regeneration zone of Clichy- Batignolles covers over 133 acres of land (54 hectares).
Located in the 17th Parisian precinct, it is one of the most ambitious urban projects currently led by the city.
The site bears the historical signs of transportation and logistics activities, facilitated by the train lines leading to Saint Lazare train station and the close beltway. Therefore, the stakes of the project can be summarized by the single idea of designing a dense built environment for this neighborhood. Hence creating the possibility to include this isolated railway site into a very much needed urban continuity.
It is inevitable that the innate trend of human being is tangled to natural landscape, The location of p[roject is Mosha site in the vicinity of north side of Tehran in domains of Alborz mountains.
Intensive topography and location between mountains with sightseeing to flat plain of Mosha, inspired us to create sense of suspension and wide view for all spaces.
Our goal of merging nature with human life led us to have vertical distribution of functions with less land occupation for building and hence allocates more portion of land to design landscape.
