“Sea View Appartaments” is an accommodation facility located within an imposing and modern building called “Ponte sul Mare” which houses residences, accommodation and business activities, located in the Politeama district, the heart of the city of Palermo. The building originates from the total reconversion and renovation of the former Hotel Ponte, well known in the city for its enviable position. The building, in fact, offers suggestive views overlooking the sea, the Castellammare, the Cala, and Piazza XII Vittime.
Development of a 110 square meters loft in a raw space in Montreuil.
The apartment is articulated on two floors revolving around a patio: day part on the ground floor and night upstairs.
This project aims to offer the apartment a functional core, point of attraction echoing the patio for this mono oriented and focused space
This core fulfills the roles of staircase, library and living room: functions that intertwine and dissolve. The heavy steel staircase floats on a base which becomes a bench seat and extends to the ground. The library slides around the stairs, becomes a bench and extends upstairs This green screw will distribute light, spaces and materials throughout the apartment.
The use of reflective or polished materials as well as the presence of a mirror multiplies the arrival of light.
The transition between the interior and exterior spaces is blurring: the patio invades the entire space on the ground floor.
Havnehusene (The Harbor Houses) is just one of many new building projects in Eastern Harbour in Aalborg paying homage to the area’s historical past.
When developing a historical neighborhood, you simultaneously need to acknowledge the past while you’re creating something new. So rather than embracing a tabula rasa strategy, the objective for the development of Easter Harbor has been to create a new sustainable district while maintaining a reference to the area’s history. Hence industrial history, high silo buildings and contact the water forms the basis for a reinterpretation and development of new urban qualities in the area.
Since 2017, the Danish island ‘Møn’ has been a UNESCO biosphere reserve and Dark Sky Park. Visitors are travelling from all around the world to explore the extraordinary nature and wildlife. The client ‘Klintholm Gods’ was fascinated by the idea of creating something unique: a place where visitors come close to nature – also by living in it.
Transforming A Historic Building Into An Inclusive Holiday Destination
The client assigned PLH Arkitekter to transform the historic estate ‘Hunosøgaard’ into a modern and inclusive holiday destination offering quality nature experiences and accommodation for everyone. ‘Hunosøgaard’ was originally built in the late 1800s as a guesthouse for artists and people travelling down from Copenhagen to spend the summer by the lake and exploring nature. Now, ‘Klintholm Gods Lake Apartments’ is an extremely friendly space with high standards of universal and inclusive design, bringing visitors and guests closer to nature.
Changwon, where Maison De Terrace is located, as a well-outlined planned city, is a city where the manufacturing area and residential area, as well as the commercial area and the park are thoroughly separated Kim Jin-baek, the president of Kilmin Engineering&Construction, commissioned Samhyun to plan Maison De Terrace, and Kilmin as well, worked together with Samhyun as a constructor a long time ago. A fact that was discovered as the work began in earnest was that, before establishing a relationship with Samhyun, they had made design requests to many design offices, received various designs and had only been reviewing them for several months. This time, Kilmin Construction meets Samhyun as an owner, which becomes an opportunity for the work to rapidly progress. Samhyun submitted the design plan, proceeded with the contract the following week, and reached the stage of selling three months later. As if Samhyun already knew the direction the owner wanted to pursue, the proposal was immediately accepted, and a consensus with the owner was naturally formed.
The Project consists of the refurbishment of a 38m² apartment in São Paulo, Brazil, in which the main goal was to optimize the space and produce the sensation of wideness through material and carpentry.
To do that we decided to work with lines and furniture that extended longitudinally in the space, integrating areas that were separated, like the living room and the terrace. At this new open space, sectorized in the floor to mark the space designated to the kitchen and service, where we applied an industrial blue tile. The social area — where we have the office, living room and a table for meals- received a natural wooden oak floor that extends towards the bedroom. The layout we designed for the blue tile forms the image of a ‘V’, connecting to the chevron layout of the wood floor.
The project consists in the transformation of a new apartment within an area of 42 m², located in the neighborhood of Pinheiros in São Paulo, Brazil. The idea of the client was to change the space, giving to it personality and functionality, without the necessity of demolition.
Assuming that, the first change was to take off the door that separated the bedroom from the living/kitchen, where we placed further a pivoting door. After that, the carpentry, the colors and the materials would be the protagonists of the space. In order to do that, we always like to choose an architectonic element to guide the conception of the project. In this case, the main theme were the orthogonal lines.
The project designed by Nada comes from the need to refurbish a living space of 70m2 (754 ft), located in a multi-family building constructed in the 70s next to Passeig Picasso in Barcelona. The apartment overlooks the Parc de la Ciutadella, the greatest green space in the city centre.
The original state of this space was highly compartmentalized with unused spaces, and a complex circulation between disconnected spaces.
The Piacenza Building arises from a commission to design a multi-residential building on a small site designated for medium rise development. Constructions from 7 to 10 storeys surround the site, however, given the site area, we were only allowed to develop five storeys and a sixth floor with larger setbacks on the sides.
The challenge of the project resides in how to turn this apparent disadvantage into a mark of distinction. We proposed the design to be in explicit contrast to the surrounding buildings, typically tall, bulky, and having a typical residential apartment building character. Our proposal suggests a small scale, low density, and using materials such as exposed in situ concrete and expanded metal sheets on the outside. Thus, the building looks more appropriate for the site yet also unique, standing out among its surrounding. Regulatory constraints are clearly evident in its simple and pure geometry, and the upper level is planned as an overlaid black box to the lower concrete volume, while, towards the street, the terraces are designed as thin slabs cantilevered over the front yard.
