Article source: K-Thengono Design Studio The existing elongated layout separates living room and dining room with a long hallway, it makes certain areas feel dark and cramped. Through opening up the kids’ bedrooms and the kitchen area, it maximizes the amount of natural light into the interior space, resolving the problems of insufficient natural light in hallway and narrow workspace in kitchen area.

Article source: Eerkes Architects Surly Crab is a modern beach house located on Hood Canal in Washington state. Views to the west take in the waterway and the Olympic Mountains. Inland from the home is a lush forest with ferns, native rhododendrons, madrona, and fir trees. Envisioned as a retreat where friends can gather and admire this particularly rich natural landscape, Surly Crab rests on the shoreline and rises into the trees offering both big view moments of the mountains and Hood Canal, and smaller scale, often missed delights.

Article source: MODGI Group A portion of good rural Italy in Saint-Petersburg. For our studio it was not a pilot project in our cooperation with a network of BONA CAPONA restaurants, being, however, a new look at a concept of the affordable Italian restaurant for every day visits. What did we think about from the very beginning? Authenticity, removal to a small village in the South of Italy. Therefrom a key conceptual solution – a light, roomy interior, soaked with sun, where every detail is filled with coziness, warmness and family traditions. The basis for planning became a rational zoning principle: the central composition of the hall with a column, decorated with ceramic tiles with some openwork, sofa seat assignment with accent cushions, big floor cachepots with sprawling olive trees.

Article source: Yasuyuki ITO / C+A Coelacanth and Associates This core community building in the Kozakai district of Toyokawa contains a community center, library, children’s center, and city hall branch office. The design was selected in a 2017 competition. The spatial appeal of a mixed-use buildings such as this comes largely from its handling of common areas. While individual spaces such as the meeting rooms, music studio, event hall, and kitchen are of course also important, it is the natural overflow of sounds, sights, and other hints of activity into the common areas that gives the facility as a whole its vibrancy.

3101 West Coast Highway in California by Shubin DonaldsonMay 12th, 2022 by Sanjay Gangal
Article source: Shubin Donaldson Located at Mariner’s Mile in Newport Beach, 3101 West Coast Highway is a renovation and adaptive reuse of a 4-story Cape Cod-style building from the 1980s into a modern articulation of the marine coastal aesthetic. Situated on a concrete podium 6’ above West Coast Highway, this project creates a modern aesthetic by removing existing embellishments to enhance the clean and timeless geometry of the gabled roofs, all while staying within compliance with the Coastal Commission’s strict reframing constraints. The existing dormers were demolished to create inset terraces providing tenants with fresh air, natural light, and unobstructed bayside views. Removing floor slabs enable double-height spaces while opening-up bayside gable walls with floor-to-ceiling curtain walls create transparency from the street to the bayside. Tenant spaces were also demised in a north/south direction to provide all tenants with bayside views throughout the building.  Image Courtesy © Shubin Donaldson

Article source: Bokey Grant DD House’s striking, almost monolithic form announces its presence to the surrounding neighbourhood. Even from up the hill, near the local train station, it emerges out from a nest of roof shingles and a palette of coastal swatches. Yet whilst visually it stands out, the house simultaneously embraces the lifestyle of the New South Wales South Coast, encouraging its inhabitants to laze in bed and stare out the window to the ocean or to lounge on the terrace where the ridgeline forms an intimate horizon. It feels made for relaxing – a quiet hedonism.  Image Courtesy © Clinton Weaver

The Farmhouse in Poland by BXB studioMay 11th, 2022 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: BXB studio Philosophy At BXB studio, we design buildings that are both modern and routed in tradition. This combination allows us to create interesting design shapes like ”The Farmhouse”, where instead of five farm buildings due for demolition, we proposed five interconnected barns to create a highly dynamic space. Although this development is a completed piece of work, it takes into account the possibility of future development, which could include the creative reconstruction of the historical house due for demolition in accordance with the client’s wishes.

Brick Veil in Bangalore, India by Haarsha ArchitectsMay 11th, 2022 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Haarsha Architects Anchored in a serene neighbourhood of Bengaluru city, there stands a unique work of architecture snugly tucked into a quadrilateral plot of land. The uniqueness of the architecture lies in its simplicity of form and palette, tastefully moulded in brick cladding and liquid stone to ideally suit the streetscape of the surrounding locale. Taking inspiration from its striking brick materiality that largely envelopes its elevation, the building is aptly called Brick veil.  Image Courtesy © Shamanth Patil

Article source: Studio 3LHD Infobip is a unicorn IT company based in Vodnjan, Istria, where it also built its first campus. The company’s rapid growth has spawned the need for a new hybrid building in Zagreb. Infobip is located on a plot on the southern edge of Zagreb, in a rurban zone bordering New Zagreb, directly next to the corridor of the newly planned avenue that will, once it is built, run along the southern edge of Zagreb. The zone is an entropic and poorly regulated area with low-rise medium-density multi-dwelling buildings lacking both an articulated public space and nature.  Image Courtesy © Jure Živković
