Extension of a single-family house in Bestensee, Germany by JAN RÖSLER ARCHITEKTEN

Friday, November 9th, 2018

Article source: JAN RÖSLER ARCHITEKTEN

The aim of the project was to expand an existing building by three sleeping rooms, a bathroom and an undefined space that could be used freely by the children. The direct access to the garden from the main building, as well as an existing tree should be maintained, leaving just a small space to locate the extension.

Hanyang Guiyuan Temple Sales Center: a curved building that embraces landscape

Each city is given unique character by its history. Unfortunately in China most cities are losing their features after reconstruction and taking on almost the same image. It is imperative for urban real estate developers to retain cultural heritage of the city through balanced and appropriate design solutions.

Fine Arts Museum in Badajoz, Spain by Estudio Arquitectura Hago

Sunday, October 28th, 2018

Article source: Estudio Arquitectura Hago

THE POWER OF MEMORY

The backbone of the architectural strategy for the extension project of the Fine Arts Museum in Badajoz is meant to regain an Identity: a new built environment (Architecture) that interacts with the urban context (City) through its cultural content (Museum).

We project a complex whose starting point is the expansion of the existing museum, located in a listed building in the center of Badajoz. The complex includes two new buildings that are connected through a courtyard and are opened to two different streets of the city. Due to the difficult circumstances that come together in this place (archaeological remains, party walls and the rehabilitation of the listed building) a powerful and coherent architectural response is required.

Un Cuarto Más in Temixco, Mexico by ANTNA

Friday, October 12th, 2018

Article source: ANTNA

A housing expansion prototype that aims to add a 16 sqm room, on the roof of social houses that currently have problems of overcrowding, as they originally have only one bedroom.

As this is a construction proposed in wood, it seeks to explore this material from its structural aspect, insulation, light, and a logical building system. In addition to it, this prototype opens a research around the potential of this resource to activate a sustainable economy in the country, which with the correct use of its forests and jungles, new local economies can be detonated, as well as schemes that can focus on housing crisis, unemployment, and social marginalization.

Heath House in Hampstead, England by Patalab Architecture

Wednesday, October 10th, 2018

Article source: Patalab Architecture

Patalab were commissioned to transform a detached Arts and Crafts townhouse in Hampstead for a local family with three small children.  The brief was to create an airier, lighter and more contemporary feel for the young family’s home and their modern art collection.  It was also important to increase the overall floor area.

Patalab opted for an approach that expands the house horizontally thus making most of the spacious garden that surrounds the building. Many of the original features inside the house were retained, such as the central staircase and timber wall paneling but these were treated with white paint wash to achieve a less oppressive and more spacious appearance.

Bloomberg’s New European Headquarters in London, England by Foster + Partners

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2018

Article source: Foster + Partners 

Bloomberg’s new European headquarters is respectful of its location in the heart of the City of London, close to the Bank of England, St. Paul’s Cathedral and the church of St. Stephen’s Walbrook. In its form, massing and materials, the new building is uniquely of their place and time – a natural extension of the City that will endure and improve the surrounding public realm. It is a true exemplar of sustainable development, with a BREEAM Outstanding rating – the highest design-stage score ever achieved by any major office development. Occupying a full city block, the 3.2-acre site comprises two buildings united by bridges that span over a pedestrian arcade that reinstates Watling Street, an ancient Roman road that ran through the site. Bloomberg Arcade is now a key route for people moving around the City, with restaurants and cafes at ground level, set back behind an undulating façade under a covered colonnade. Three public plazas, located at each end of the arcade and in front of the building’s entrance, provide new civic spaces in the heart of the Square Mile.

Talleres Baix Camp in Reus, Spain by NAM ARQ

Monday, October 1st, 2018

Article source: NAM ARQ

This old house in the centre of Reus was acquired by the association with the will to create one of these day centres. Firstly, it was proposed to reform it and create a small extension with a new concrete volume on the ground floor, placed in front of a garden/patio and facing the northern part of the lot. It becomes the centre of the group activities. This gesture also requires a new access to the complex and helps organizing the rest of the classrooms, kitchen, offices and toilets placed in the old building. Constructively, the materials (concrete and wooden panels in windows and furniture) seek to create a certain warmth, while the long-glazed panels allow a correct visualization and control of the interior/exterior spaces. The white colour encourages in these people the creativity and tranquillity they need in their day to day and in allows a better lighting of the workspaces. To homogenize the whole project, the old building was painted in grey tones and new exterior joinery and protection slats in pine wood were also placed.

King Bill in Melbourne, Australia by Austin Maynard Architects

Thursday, September 20th, 2018

Article source: Austin Maynard Architects

King Bill is a love letter to Fitzroy. King Bill is a collage of Fitzroy’s built history, its textures, its forms, its order and its chaos.

The high land values of Fitzroy would encourage many  owners to add as much building as possible. Not so for the owners of King Bill. They sought to give something back to the suburb they love. They sought to create a new pocket park.

In A Nutshell

Located in the vibrant back streets of Fitzroy, Melbourne, King Bill is the renovation and extension of a double story terrace house and neighbouring garden. The house (one of 5 terraces built circa 1850) and its eastern garden were initially separate lots that were recently consolidated onto a single title. Recognising the importance and heritage significance of the area, as well as the rich eclectic nature of the location, the terrace facade remains untouched. A glazed corridor now runs along the eastern outer wall of the original terrace, linking the original house with the stable (garage and parents retreat) and the new pavilion, which houses kitchen, living and dining.
