House by the Lake is a residential area project designed by the development company Brusnika in Tyumen, Siberia. The plot is located in the vicinity of residential clusters dating from the 1980-90s, random low-rise houses and modern housing estates. It is a promising area with well-developed social, commercial and recreational amenities.
The masterplan aims to develop the area as well as the lake. The key concept is living in the city while enjoying the countryside around. A small, shallow and boggy Tikhoye lake was much wider up to the 1970s, but affected by chaotic urban development, it gradually shrank. While designing the project, professional advice on the lake restoration was obtained from hydrologists, ecologists and dendrologists. Currently marshy parts of the shores and floor are being cleared, the area around the lake planted with new species, and the lake stocked with fish. According to the masterplan, the shores and the small park linking the quarter to the lake will also be landscaped.
ODA’s process, just like their design, is fractal by nature – thinking about how cities are made up of small units of life, that operate independently yet are bound by a shared community. This concept has manifested in an iconic new structure in Washington DC’s Navy Yard. West Half, a newly-completed multi-family residential complex, houses 465 apartments, nearly 1000 people, in a single square block. And yet the internal circulation of the building, the curated multi-level amenities, rich access to outdoor space and the cascading nature of the facade creates a connection at the street level and gives the building a transparent, approachable feel, while the bright yellow underbelly of the cantilevers delivers a subliminal layer of color theory 101: Happiness.
Set within an idyllic location in northern Singapore, Kandis Residence contains 130 condominium units housed within four residential blocks – one three-storey block, along with three seven-storey blocks. The project was predicated on the concept of “homes in the woods”, envisioned as a green, immaculately landscaped sanctuary that accommodates the modern urban lifestyle.
Hudson is a residential house in Surgut, featuring modern American traditionalism. Located next to the municipal park, in the area between the city centre and an industrial estate, it lies in the part of the city with typical brick and prefab houses dating from the 1990s and 2000s.
Hudson was designed by Brusnika Design. The project team aimed at emulating features of Northern American architecture in the building while preserving authenticity in the context of a Northern Russian city.
Jade is a midrise multi-unit residential building in Salmiya, Kuwait, that houses 20 independent residential units. Built on an 813 Sqm plot, the building has a double basement parking, an open plan ground floor with a gym and kids play area, 10 stories of residential units, and a rooftop social space with a 15m long pool and barbeque area. The exterior envelope of the building is a composite skin of light concrete, perforated aluminium panels and high-performance glass panels. The design of the building aims to facilitate an urban and sustainable way of living for young families.
The building is located in a quiet residential Masaryk district, full of quality pre-war functionalist architecture. The volume and spatial solution is based on the character and proportions of the nearest buildings. Residential complex consists of four blocks of different sizes apartment buildings which protrude above the terrain from a common underground base. The set of buildings thus naturally fits into its surroundings. The site with a south-west orientation and an attractive view over the Brno Exhibition Centre to the Kohoutovice forest was the reason for the maximum orientation and the opening of the residential complex into this direction. The apartment buildings descend along the slope, their height decreases towards the southern tip of the plot.
The “Les Hauts de Sévigné” development project, led by the Launay Group, is located between the Rennes-Paris railroad line, the Route de Paris and the Rigourdière business park. This sector at the entrance to the city is today mainly composed of activities. Eventually, it will be home to approximately 650 housing units and 12,000 m² of business fl oor space.

58, rue de Mouzaia, Paris 19th: at this address, a representative work of brutalism was delivered in 1974, co-signed by Claude Parent and André Remondet. However, after 45 years of existence, the building had lost its visual strength: blackened surfaces, erosion, bared irons… In charge of transforming this office building into a housing complex, Canal architecture workshop (Patrick Rubin) seized this opportunity to restore and reveal a dense and strong architecture, while giving it the amenity that suited its new function. This case study is an example of reversibility, a notion that Canal also defends for today’s architecture.
