Award-winning firm ADDP Architects today officially unveils its latest standout residential project, The Seaside Residences in Singapore, comprising 841 residential units and two commercial spaces spread across four, 27-story towers. The project merges seaside living and urban density along the island-nation’s south-eastern coastline.
The Seaside Residences follows ADDP Architects’ commitment and deft ability to create architectural schemes based around sustainable development. The four, 27-story towers are orientated in response to the local climate and provide residents with unobstructed, panoramic sea views. Each pair of towers are connected by a sky terrace and a communal space topped with lush gardens. The site is located minutes away from the Siglap MRT station and bus stops and East Coast Park underground pass, allowing residents to easily connect to most parts of Singapore through a wide network of expressways.
Apán, is a project part of a master plan called “Laboratory of Research and Practical Experimentation of Housing INFONAVIT” includes 32 experimental prototipes of rural housing of the Research Center for Sustainable Development.
The objective of the project was to build a house in a rural context that met the characteristics of a decent home and satisfied the needs of users. In the same way, the project departs from the analysis of the site at the town of Zaragoza, Coahuila with a specific purpose of achieving a complete adaptability of the housing prototype to the site. Its location and proximity to the city of Piedras Negras generates a particular social context due to its connection with the United States. The inhabitants of this locality present a strong aspiration to the American way of life that was reflected in the buildings of the localities. On the other hand, Zaragoza has an extreme climate, but with a presence of humidity due to the San Antonio River, which is a slope of the Rio Grande. Due to this, the acequias can be appreciated in the different localities of the municipality.
The site is located in an urban plot in Laval, France. The location of the house in the middle of the plot frees up the views to the north and south and preserves the remarkable trees all around.
The house is built on a rectangular base inside which is extruded a rectangular space, giving to the house a sort of large exterior room open to the sky, protected from winds and vis-à-vis. The living room widely opens to the south and north, while the more intimate programs (bedrooms, bathroom, garage, laundry room) develop on the eastern and western limits. The swimming pool, the central terrace, the living room, the covered terraces to the south form a large continuous common space accessible from each part of the house. This plan seeks to create a multiple and hybrid place where the boundaries between interior and exterior are blurred.
The house as it is, it can no longer be the same. In the moment in which we realized that the life contained within the wall is the most valuable, some aspects that have been important have been moved in the background. The D4 house is based on three main pillars, considered as a tool for evaluated the process of decision making during the design process.
This building depicts for both the design team and the developer, a different way to approach architecture with the purpose of translating habitability dynamics and new codes in a city like Xalapa. A fusion of synergies among architecture, construction and the market with a clear goal: offer a series of spaces distinguished by its spatial quality for those seeking for a property with all the possibilities offered by a low density building in a city that still allows short trips and an exceptional weather.
It is formed by 21 apartments distributed in five levels, the programme also has amenities such as the roof top with playground, pool table, bar, lounge and toilets. The two access are located on the ground floor, the main for pedestrians and the one for cars. The garage has 21 spaces and was designed to allow the future installation of carlifts to double its capacity.
The project is located in a private urbanization in the northern area of the municipality of Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico, this land has a quite unique topographic characteristic since it was located within an interior glen, which was characterized by having a downward slope almost constant throughout it, this generated as a result a difference of almost 10 m between street level 00 and the lowest point of the land, it is due to this situation that the decision is made to generate a proposal based on the fragmentation of a main block in 4 of different blocks in a descending way, in such a way that these are integrated into the natural unevenness of the site, prioritizing the generation of openings towards the North, which is in this case where there is a direct correlation with the area natural forest.
Bukhari House is located in Istanbul and designed to be a farm house near the outskirts of the city. The house is named after the client’s surname. At the beginning, there was two separate old houses located at the site. The two-tstory house to be used as the main building and the other will serve as a guest house and will be designed later. The roof and the second floor of the existing two-story house is completely demolished and a new addition is laid right next to the existing one. A new steel roof system is designed to integrate the two structures (existing to be masonry and the new addition to be concrete).
With a privileged location, the Por do Sol house is next to the famous Por do Sol square, a scene that has been widely acclaimed for exercising the function of a gazebo, being one of the favorite places of paulistas to admire the sunset. Located in the Alto de Pinheiros district, Casa Por do Sol is a single-family house designed to house a couple and their two daughters.
The architect, also a resident of the house, conceived the project by proposing an inversion of the patterns of traditional housing, choosing to allocate the bedrooms on the lower floor and the living areas on the floor above, thus providing greater privacy in the intimate areas while favoring the late afternoon view in the most interactive environments.
We started with the paintings on the wall. The works are by John Prentice (the owner’s grandfather), an artist and engineer. Prentice has written about colour selection turning it into a language akin to a musical score in his thesis Colour Plane. He uses this theory of colour to tell stories.
The urbanization is strongly developing from the city to the rural areas in Vietnam. The city tube houses have began to appear more and more densely in rural areas, disrupting the peaceful and poetic image of the village. Dien Khanh house tries to retain the traditional familiarity that is gradually fading away of rural houses, in order to create a fresh living environment, close to nature and the surrounding environment, but also satisfy modern life and contemporary social development.
From the birdview, the project is both strange and familiar with the combination of undulating tile roofs in harmony with the charming scenery of mountains and rivers in the land of Dien Khanh.
