Hames Sharley is proud to have designed the first stage of the East Village Karrinyup residences for Blackburne. This important milestone starts to complete the picture of this $800 million mixed-use activity centre development with AMP.
The project will consist of 94 residences on the eastern edge of the new Karrinyup Shopping Centre, which will offer incredible views over Lake Gwelup, Perth city and Karrinyup Golf Course.
The objective of the project is the construction of eight terraced houses in line and a single-family housing isolated with a common space that unifies these buildings.
The important topographical elevation presented by the plot is undoubtedly one of the biggest conditions of the project.
The district of Kvillestaden in Gothenburg was for a long time a declining remnant of the now closed shipyard industry along Hisingen’s docks. Today the district has a strong upward trend where old houses are mixed with expansive new developements. In this context Bornstein Lyckefors has designed an apartment building on the lot of a former post office.

With the Viale Giulini Affordable Housing project, Rome-based studio Alvisi Kirimoto is redesigning the outskirts of Barletta (Puglia) through a social housing intervention. The project, located in the south-west of the city, in the new Zona 167 district, aims to fuse the urban macro-scale with the domestic dimension, within a larger system of projects to revitalize the neighbourhood, including the Parco dell’Umanità — Design of the pedestrian promenade by ABDR.
The studio has long been committed to the theme of urban regeneration in Italy and beyond – from its commitment with Renzo Piano for the G124 working group, to the open construction site of a nursery school, civic centre, library and park in Grotta Perfetta in the southern suburbs of Rome, and the activation of experimental laboratories in the large shopping centres in the peripheries of the cities of Nanjing and Shanghai in China.
International architecture and design firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel (ACPV) has completed residential tower La Bella Vita in the fast-growing 7th District of Taichung, Taiwan. The 128-meter-high tower aims to integrate the character and identity of nearby Charlotte Park, while fostering a dynamic relationship with the surrounding urban context. Located in close proximity to several department stores, civic buildings and cultural venues, the 33,000-sqm high-rise creates a new residential community in the commercial heart of the city, and activates the street level areas with a series of retail spaces.
Casa Tersicore was built in Milan, near the Naviglio Grande. On the street, the body of the building is four stories high, which bends around the corner, and then rises seven stories high in a type of turret. The ground floor of the building is set slightly back from the edge of the loggia on the first and second floors. This loggia runs along both the street front and on the side orthogonal to it, towards the interior of the lot. The decorative suspended pilasters (lesene) of the loggia, 15cm thick and variable in width, are designed in a slowed perspective (prospettiva rallentata), so that on the long side viewed from the street they appear equidistant because of the perspectival view, while in reality their intercolumniation is progressively greater as they get further away from the street.
Among the 22 architectural projects selected from the call for innovative urban projects launched by the City of Paris, ‘REINVENTER PARIS 1’, our EDISON LITE project proposed a new housing model, based on three main principles that we established.
The creation of ‘made-to-measure’ housing units, whereby the future residents were able to participate in establishing the brief as well as the design of their home;
Degli Esposti Architetti teamed up with Eisenman Architects and AZstudio to design this stunning residential building in Milan, Italy. Take a look at the complete story after the jump.
For a triangular site included in the Piano Pavia-Masera (1909-1911), bounded by buildings built from the beginning of the 20th century to the Seventies, this project seeks to create a distinctly contemporary apartment building, while discussing both architecture ideas and the context, presenting itself as a current milestone in a genealogy of the Milanese house. First of all, this building solves the issue of the street relationship, without a construction along the boundaries of the block, like three exceptional precedents: the Ca’ Brütta by Giovanni Muzio, the Casa Rustici by Giuseppe Terragni and Pietro Lingeri, and the Corso Italia Complex by Luigi Moretti.

With landscaping as an elemental force in driving the design – Rangoli Greens, Jaipur adds the much-needed 5.5 acres of green space required in the Pink City of Jaipur. Sited away from the pink city with a total of 10,96,483 sq. ft. built-up area, this high-end residential development is situated on the outskirts of Jaipur. A housing establishment that is meticulously thought and designed for the residents, Rangoli Greens brings a wave of new-age apartments bridging the gap between nature and users. All the units of the establishment are planned to be open from three sides. Hence, the fresh air from the windows and the balcony add a soothing element to all abodes and a tinge of a healthy lifestyle.
