Article source: Giuseppe Gurrieri Studio House VCS is a project looking at the new construction of a one-family house in Modica in the province of Ragusa, on a site whose the high scenic value is due to the constant relation with the rock, on which is built not only the house but the whole town. In fact, Modica is characterized by rugged horizon and pale rocky walls, extent that the ancient, in order to name it, have been inspired by the word “Murìka”, which indicates the bare and poorly cultivable rock. The house, realized thanks to the technical collaboration with the engineering office SIC, is in the countryside of Modica, in an area characterized by a soft slope which suddenly turns into a steep rocky escarpment. A place where the view literally seems to “leap into the void” of the valley to stop in the opposite side.  Image Courtesy © Filippo Poli

Article source: Héctor Navarro + arkhitekton Casa La Calderona is located in Vernejo, a town located on the outskirts of the town of Cabezón de la Sal (Cantabria). The origin of the work is part of an execution project that has little to do with the final result. Actually, that project defined formal and programmatic issues, and it was during its execution that the design was really finalized. The work was managed by its promoters, an active part in an open and collaborative process. In its evolution, issues that have to do with economic and environmental sustainability have prevailed.

Article source: GRAUX & BAEYENS architecten bvba The thoughtful introduction of a covered outdoor space in this design created openness to the garden and added value for all volumes on the plot. The triangular terrace forms the core of a new living and outdoor experience, of which even the bicycle shed/cider workshop is now an integral part. The outdoor space was constructed in reference to the archetypal bicycle sheds in the surrounding rural landscape: concrete stone, Oregon, rafters and here and there an old glass roof tile for filtered light.

Article source: h2o architectes The refurbishment project was carried out between July 2016 and October 2019. The brief was to improve the public reception area and the working environment. We set out to consolidate the structure, enlarge some of the spaces, update some of the technical installations, and to create a connection between the various areas to give overall coherence to the museum. As the museum remained open to the public throughout the project, we had to complete the operation without disturbing visitors or staff. The refurbishment involved work on all floors and at every level, from relaying the foundations to the design of the furnishings and the signposting, and included demolition, decontamination, and creating new floors.

Article source: Fivedot The design of the VAVA House emphasizes the creative ways families share space and help each other grow, learn, and play. Located in Seattle, Washington, the clients asked Fivedot to design a house that reinforced a connection to their neighbors and their new community. In response, the design team flipped the typical arrangement of a suburban house which normally is closed off in the front and more open to the rear. In contrast, the 3,643-square-foot home is designed to open onto an expansive front patio with multiple gathering areas which then cascades down to a small park across the street. A custom charpai (swing) anchors the covered front porch which also contains a firepit and a heater making it a true four-season space.  Image Courtesy © Mark Woods

Article source: UNStudio Ben van Berkel: “Shopping malls are the public spaces of Chinese cities. These retail complexes are not simply places to shop, they are all-in-one destinations for outings and social gatherings. They are also places where culture and commerce merge and where architecture can express this expansive condition.” The best of both worlds Collaboration was key for the creation of a symbiotic relationship between the commercial aspirations and the architectural interventions. While Nihon Sekkei were asked to develop the outer shell of the retail center, UNStudio was tasked with fleshing out the mall as a placemaking destination for customers and the larger community. This included the design of the inner courtyard and its facades, the full interior of the mall and a public rooftop terrace.  Image Courtesy © AaronRex

Article source: ERRE arquitectura The project for this newly built Private Terminal proposes a clear and decisive geometry defined by a single volume (120 x 47 meters) in which the exterior metallic materiality that surrounds the building unifies its various functions and structures. This skin, which in some areas is micro-perforated to allow natural light to enter the interior, gives the project a unitary industrial appearance, whilst being dynamic and variable changing according to time and sunlight.
