Tua Valley Interpretive Centre in Carrazeda de Ansiães, Portugal by Rosmaninho+Azevedo – ArquitectosFriday, February 8th, 2019Article source: Rosmaninho+Azevedo – Arquitectos In 1880, the opening of the Douro railway line provided an alternative to waterway transport. Travellers, but more particularly Port wines and the products necessary to produce them, benefitted from the two hundred kilometres of rail tracks connecting the Spanish border and the city of Porto. Between 1988 and 1990, the last 28 kilometres of this railway and several sections of tributary lines (including Tua), considered insufficiently lucrative, were closed. In 2008, operation of the Tua line ceased entirely. The construction of a dam on the Tua River, approved the following year and requiring 16 kilometres of railway tracks to be flooded, made any re-use of the service definitively impossible.

Alimentar Store in Juiz de Fora, Brazil by ATELIÊ DE ARQUITETURA LÍQUIDAFriday, February 8th, 2019Article source: ATELIÊ DE ARQUITETURA LÍQUIDA Located in the city center of Juiz de Fora, Alimentar Store aims to offer to consumers two strands of nutriment products: an enteral nutrition aimed at the hospital branch and natural food products, to the general public. The architectural project started from the perception of these two distinct markets integrated in the same physical space. In the initial part of the store, designated to the hospital products, the proposal is a real “dip” in white, where exhibitors and light materials were chosen to recreate the medical atmosphere. By crossing this space, the user immerses himself in a non-orthogonal wooden box, which invites him to the warmth and return of our roots, which is natural and lasting essence. Using the naval plywood to create this “box”, we tried to value the materials in the way they are, in fact, reflecting on the user experience.  Image Courtesy © ATELIÊ DE ARQUITETURA LÍQUIDA
Bakken & Bæck in Oslo, Norway by KvistadFriday, February 8th, 2019Article source: Kvistad Norwegian design studio Kvistad recently completed a major upgrade of Bakken & Bæck’s HQ office in Oslo. The unconventional office interior is an union of spaceage, futurism and friendly scandinavian forms. A lot of ideas are taken from spacefaring vessels. All floors, walls and ceiling are painted in the same color, to give a feeling that everything is molded in the same material. Some rooms have carpets on floors expanding to cover the walls, suitable for a zero-gravity environment. Many of the details are supported by thin lines to resemble weightlessness.

PANPURI hot spring in Bangkok, Thailand by A-ASTERISKFriday, February 8th, 2019Article source: A-ASTERISK We have designed Onsen, public bath, for the leading spa brand Panpuri which is located on 12th floor of a high-rise building in Bangkok, Thailand. When we visited the site first time, we recognized the outdoor view from the site was magnificent. Therefore, we have focused on customers to enjoy the views, not to create decorative interior. Not to distract the views, the bath tubs are located near the curtainwall in black color scheme with a white frame. The white frame is not only to emphasize the functions of bathing and body washing, it became a frame of the outside view. And in the evening the water surface is lit and reflected to the frame to create a magnificent atmosphere.  Image Courtesy © A-ASTERISK
“Hidden Cross” Residence in Chalcis, Greece by Vasileios NtovrosFriday, February 8th, 2019Article source: Vasileios Ntovros The plot of land is located on the edge of a small hill, in a suburb of Chalkida overlooking the sea. The characteristics of the location and slope of the plot, along with the existence of a main road on the north side, led to the creation of a relatively compact and impenetrable volume from the north. Oppositely on the south side there are the main openings connecting the interior with the yard, semi-covered spaces and balconies. Internally, the composition is structured around a vertical and horizontal axis in the space, where in their intersection they form a visible cross in the living space. The vertical axis distinguishes the areas of movement (staircase, lift) from the operating areas (kitchen, dining room, bedrooms, wc), while the horizontal axis separates the public spaces from the more private ones.

Clifton Hill House in Melbourne, Australia by Field Office ArchitectureFriday, February 8th, 2019Article source: Field Office Architecture Additions and alterations to a small Victorian terrace in Noone Street, Clifton Hill. Sitting at the end of a row of similar late 19th century terraces, the site for this project was fortunate enough to sit on block that had double-width proportions to the back due to a small electrical substation next door. This opened up a number of opportunities in terms of how we approached the brief which was for a new simple, modern, light-filled living, meals and kitchen area, along with master bedroom and studio. Being a heritage dwelling which had had many ad-hoc renovations over the years, it was decided very early that all of the additions were to be stripped back, with the original front 2 bedrooms the only retained aspect of the house.
