KROKOS CRETE in Rethymno, Greece by ChiaraArmandoDesign – Handcraft ArchitectureMarch 5th, 2022 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: ChiaraArmandoDesign – Handcraft Architecture Paola, the owner, is an art historian, a tour guide specialized in the fascinating Pompeii, with a passion for travel and cultures, especially the Greek and Arab world. Krokos Crete is the daughter of all this: an Ottoman house, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, on the southernmost strip of land of Europe, the island of Crete. Protected by the Archaeological Superintendency, like all of the historic center of Rethymno, the first project and the subsequent restoration work were carried out respecting the existing building, maintaining its soul and enhancing its character, while adapting it to the new needs of life.

Article source: Ayelet Levi Adani – Interior design studio The tenants sought a modern style home that would suit their needs and which would serve them as a family. It was important to them that the public space be large and suitable for raising 3 small children. The tenants, a couple in their late 30s, are modest people who really cared about the house radiating simplicity on the one hand, but also very much wanted a pampering and innovative home on the other.

Ivanka Concrete panels, perforated metal and reflective glass combine in façades, which echo the patterns seen in the surrounding landscape. Beneath the exterior is a sturdy reinforced concrete frame.  Image Courtesy © Maxim Kanakin
Mixed-use zone instead Soap factory in Novosibirsk, Russia by BrusnikaFebruary 28th, 2022 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Brusnika Being constructed by Brusnika, Mylzavod (Soap factory) is a quarter in the heart of Novosibirsk. The project name references its location. The site was an industrial estate dominated by a soap factory in the early 20th century. Producing over 30 varieties of soap, whose top quality made it a product for export, it was a unique production line in Siberia. Back in the day it was an industrial part of the city, but after the 1950s it was gradually transformed into a residential area. Small houses appeared next to factory shops, but residents were displeased with the industrial neighbourhood. By 2013 the factory production was discontinued and the plot was chosen for the renovation programme of central Novosibirsk and allocated for a new housing estate.  Image Courtesy © Brusnika

Article source: Nikken Sekkei Ltd Located on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido, Niseko is renowned around the world for its winter powder snow. HANAZONO EDGE project lies at the core of one of four interlinked ski resorts, Niseko United, Hanazono Resort ski facilities, all of which are nestled within Niseko Annupuri mountain terrain. The building features a café, restaurant and bar on the ground and upper levels, and offices and instructor waiting rooms in the basement. The new restaurant, along with the Park Hyatt Niseko Hotel and Residences, was completed at the same time as the former ski center (now a ski school), and surround the snow park at the foot of the slope, creating an integrated luxury resort. An iconic design was needed for the restaurant, as it directly faces the slope, assuming significant stature.  Image Courtesy © Koji Horiuchi, Shin Shashin Koubou

Article source: Form4 Architecture Named for its butterfly-inspired angular canopies that adorn the project’s exterior, Folded Wings is a speculative office campus designed by Form4 Architecture in the technology epicenter of Palo Alto, CA. The first consequential design decision was to angle the typical office bar at mid-point of Building 1’s footprint. This angle helps outline a welcoming, pedestrian-friendly urban plaza between the complex’s two structures. The design’s lyrical intent is emphasized by a butterfly-form canopy that signals access to two levels of below-grade parking. Folded Wings’ overall appearance yields a form of humane modernism at the scale of the pedestrian. The design is counter to the typical notion of the Silicon Valley fortress campus where no one is allowed behind the gates. This site is open to the public as well as to the rest of the business park. Adjacent to walking and bike trails, the courtyard and park invite the local community to share the beauty.

Article source: Takashige Yamashita Office Sitting on the hillside beside the street running towards Mountain Fuji from Gotemba, Shizuoka, the Reception annex greets visitors to hotel lodges spreading out on the wide landscape. The area, called Takane, is part of a huge forest where a small stream is murmuring along with a very close and clear view of Mt. Fuji to the west. Despite its huge natural background, this site is still quite easy to access from the city center, located only 15-minute-drive away from the central area of Gotemba city and convenient to reach from the nearest highway interchange as well. The client has been planning to organize accommodation facilities in this area, and a main management annex was required to set up a welcome spot as an entrance to the entire project.
