The store or the usual market as the daily venue in town is for everyone the symbol of exchanging news, fragrances, flavors, emotions… it’s the place to get a real cultural pulse or a vitaminizing sensorial experience.
B4 is the place where like at the market we are assaulted by a multitude of objects, colors and materials vibrated by the light of the moment that open our senses towards a possible revealing feel. the visual, auditory, olfactory and gustatory emotions display here one by one into a “garden” of experiences, touching the “explorers” within us in the context of the new Bucharest urban landscape…
Fuchsia house was designed for a recently retired couple with a large close knit extended family.
Located on the east coast of South Africa, on a modest lot within a gated golfing estate, this spacious home graciously asserts itself on the gently sloping square shaped site in a way that the allowable build area is maximized and all the specific living requirements are included.
Architecturally the home takes on a contemporary feel with simple forms and a palette of light materials.
The arrival point is a spacious double volume three sided courtyard area with access to 4 garages and guest parking.
The front entrance door directly off the courtyard opens onto a 180 degree unobstructed view over the swimming pool, towards the golf course fairway in the foreground and sporadic distant sea views.
The three pre-existing buildings around a mediterranean courtyard are located Coimbra, in the city’s UNESCO World Heritage Protection Zone.
In such delicate surroundings, the intervention seeks a sensible design balanced between the need for technical adaptations to contemporary building demands, the legal requirements for a contemporary hotel and the huge care that an intervention of this type requires. In other words, the adaption to the new program and the consequent deep intervention by all means paid deep respect for the historical relevance of the buildings and its great architectural and constructive values.
In a monumental building at the heart of Maastricht, interior designer Robert Kolenik has created a high-end penthouse where the luxury is surprisingly often not visible. “It’s all about the details and the durability. A perfectly finished statuario marble fireplace, intuitive LED lighting that comes on at a dimmed level when you enter a space. And materials that will outlast you. For me, this is the new luxury.”
A penthouse of more than three hundred square metres. And then being given ‘carte blanche’ for the interior design. This was a dream commission for Robert Kolenik and his team, who with his Eco Chic Design style brings together cradle-to-cradle design with warmth and luxury. Robert Kolenik explains: “Of course it’s wonderful to be given carte blanche. It shows that people trust you, but it is also a big responsibility. In order to ensure that the clients ended up with the comfortable, luxurious space that they had in mind, I involved them in the process at key moments. For example, they picked out the marble themselves for the imposing fireplace in the living room at the supplier. The variety of shades and vein patterns on offer makes this a highly personal choice.”
The project derives from a parallel study won by Aeby Perneger & Associés through the Cooperative Les Ailes.
The building is inserted in the urban plan of the eco-quartier of Verges, with the role to highlight one of the gateways of the quartier and complete a series of towers along the Napoleonic route that leads from Geneva to Saint-Genis-Pouilly though the CERN.
The volume to construct counts 11 floors above ground, placed on a 2-storey basement, with a total of 13 levels inscribed in a 22×45 m rectangle. Following the wish of the cooperative, the program of the building is mixed: 22 dwellings for elders provided with welcome facilities for the neighborhood, about 75 family dwellings, medical practices, offices and businesses, also including a small supermarket and a restaurant.
The project for the extension of the General Hospital in Šempeter was won on a national architectural competition in 2007 and completed as part of a nationwide grid of ER units in Slovenia in 2015.
The extension of the General Hospital in Šempeter houses: OR Block, ER unit, Endoscopy unit, central kitchen and warehouse for the whole hospital complex. The extension is also the main connection (corridor) between the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ hospital building.
The site is located at tripunithura, the suburb of Ernakulam, Kerala. It’s a rectangular plot with a passage leading from the road on the south side, houses on both east and west side and the rear side with a small gully road. The client’s brief was to have a spacious house with ample amount of light and ventilation.
The passage from the road leads to the parking and the sitout on the south-east corner. The entrance door leads to the formal living space, with the guest bedroom on to the left and the informal living space on to the right. The double floor height dining space is accessible from the informal and formal living space with the kitchen and utility on the right and the second bedroom on to the left. The dining space leads to the pooja and the backyard door.
