The city apartment in the center of Bolzano (IT) got completely renovated. There’s not much left from the existing spaces: All internal walls and windows have been removed, floors have been ripped out – only two static important pillars were left. „The apartment has changed hands, because of a change of generation… The existing room layout wasn’t meeting the new owner’s needs, so we opted for a completely free and radical space concept.” – Andreas Profanter

Article source: Arch. Duilio Damilano AD HOUSE was born on a hill with a nice view of the Langhe and its vineyard in a small lot located between two existing buildings. The area was presented with great potentials due to its position and the surrounding landscape but the project was limited by an environmental protective restriction for one part of the lot. This restriction divided the lot in two parts. The volume of the building with the gable roof with its wooden beams are the results of the constriction that was the main challenge of the project. Despite this limitation, on the other side, was possible to realize a flat roof as a terrace. The building is a result of two parts that have different shapes but are combined together.

The lot had a precarious construction that was totally reused in the new building. The debris where used for land fillings, foundations and re-confined for the fabrication of concrete panels for the new façade. The result is an innovate architecture that didn’t produced construction waste to the environment. The Project is located in Lumbisí, one of the most ancient indigenous communities in the country. It was colonized by the displacement of the population of Quito, moving towards the peripheral valleys of the city, in search of the countryside and a warmer climate. The lot, was formed by the parceling of a weekend country house developed in the 1980s.

Article source: Studio Saransh MD Apartment, located centrally in Ahmedabad, is the house of a designer, designed to meet his specific requirements. Originally a two bedroom apartment, it has been converted into a Studio. Stripping the space bare was the first stage of design. This meant removing all the partition walls, existing toilets, the kitchen and even the flooring. There was a conscious decision of making a space that was minimal and at the same time, tactile. So a majority of the materials chosen were done so based on how well they age.

Article source: Madeleine Blanchfield Architects This project was to remodel the interiors of a large art deco house.

Simple materials in keeping with the existing house were used and found elements we uncovered were showcased.

Article source: Madeleine Blanchfield Architects The clients approached us to design a new home in a heritage conservation area in Sydney’s East. The challenge then lay in concealing a large and contemporary two storey home behind part of a single storey federation frontage. To respect the existing building we adopted a folded roof form derived from the angles of the existing slate roof. The abstract space created is reflected inside the house as a dramatic folded stair void connecting the two levels. The remainder of the house is contemporary, light filled in contrast to the original.

Article source: Sordo Madaleno Arquitectos The history of Sordo Madaleno encompasses over eight decades of architecture and design. Having been based at Reforma 2076 in the Lomas de Chapultepec neighborhood since the 1980s, the steady growth in the size of the teams both at the architecture studio (SMA) and the real estate development firm (GSM) made it necessary to design and build a new headquarters. Strategically located at one of the most important economic and cultural hubs of Mexico City (Nuevo Polanco), the new HQ was designed by our own Interior Design department, taking the corporate design to a more challenging level for being our own client. Floors three to five of the Antara II Corporate Offices—itself designed by SMA—are home to the strategically distributed offices of both parts of Sordo Madaleno.
