Batumi Boulevard Residence in Georgia by STIPFOLD

Wednesday, July 24th, 2019

Article source: STIPFOLD

The apartment interiors and the lobbies carry similar design aesthetics: bright hues are contrasted with darker tones. Light colored materials were given preference due to the modest sizes of the apartments, but darker shades of the natural marble textures of Onyx and Cala Catta accentuate and sharpen the spaces. The vertical wooden detailing and the see-through partitions are giving more depth to the interiors of these small apartments.
The main entrance of Batumi Boulevard Residence, on the other hand, is quite massive and it's shared with a hotel, allocated to the first three floors of the building. Space is lofty and darker shades were comfortably embraced here.

A wavy and bold logo was also designed specifically for this project.

Friday, July 5th, 2019

Article source: X+LIVING 

The project is a co-working space located in Shenzhen, which was design by X+LIVING. The goal was to create a space which can accommodate multiple companies and give full play to the employees' individuality, and let “co-working” no longer be just a synonym for “low-cost”.

The chief designer, Li Xiang, integrated artistic aesthetics and interesting visual effects into the four-storey space, and differentiated the tone and style of each floor based on functions.

1F serves as the lobby and reception area, with two entrances. The main area of the lobby on the south side functions as the main entrance, from which people can reach the workspace, while the north area features an entrance leading to the dining space and a large striking installation resembling a hot-air balloon.

Portland Playhouse in Oregon by SERA Architects, Inc.

Thursday, June 27th, 2019

Article source: SERA Architects, Inc.

Since 2008, Portland Playhouse had been operating out of a historic, 1904-era church in the King neighborhood of Portland, making-do with sofa seating and make-shift solutions in a building long-in-need of updates. Opportunity arose in 2012 when the city officially granted use of the structure as a theater. With a secure home in hand, the Playhouse undertook a plan to transform the outdated building into a fully dedicated theater. SERA partnered with the Playhouse on a multi-phased project that identified programmatic requirements, functional needs, aesthetic preferences, and growth strategies for the organization. The results of that planning included a substantial renovation of the existing building, the addition of a 1,200-square-foot dedicated rehearsal and community space, and concept design for an outdoor component to be added at a later date.

M50 Art Hotel in Chengdu, China by MUDA-Architects

Sunday, June 9th, 2019

Article source: MUDA-Architects

M50 Art Hotel Project is located in Pingle, Sichuan. Pingle Ancient Town is planned to be a music theme town. Therefore, the starting point of this project is around “Music”. In this project, MUDA- Architects strives to explore and activate local culture genes, and to create a landmark building that can inherit the historical context and also is forward-looking. It is an architecture which is able to talk to the future.

MUDA-Architects hopes to further explore the relationship between architecture and music in the design: tapping into the local history and culture, we learnt that the love story between Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru happened in Qionglai. Taking the song “Feng Qiu Huang” as the starting point, guqin was found, and the strings was extracted. The project abstracts the action of “touching the strings” into architectural form. When the strings solidify at the climax, the final form of the building is obtained, which also responds to the theme “Architecture is frozen music”.

AC Hotel Portland in Oregon by SERA Architects, Inc.

Thursday, May 30th, 2019

Article source: SERA Architects, Inc.

The AC Hotel by Marriott in downtown Portland puts culture at the center of the guest experience—merging the European-inspired brand with local art and craft. Located at the busy corner of SW 3rd and SW Taylor Avenue, and adjacent to the Yamhill historic neighborhood, the hotel is one of the first AC-branded hotels in the United States. With 204 guest rooms, the new thirteen-story, 120,000-square-foot hotel serves as a dynamic addition to the city.

The hotel engages the city through its vibrant street-level design: lobby, restaurant, and bar are wrapped with windows as a visual marriage of inside and outside spaces to make guests feel a part of the city and vice versa. The design pays homage to its historic context while playing with its sense of materiality, eschewing the ubiquitous red brick of the district, instead using an off-white brick. Silver-toned metal spandrel panels are set against the strong vertical, brick frame, resulting in a building that emphasizes its stature with a flash of elan. The building’s prominent corner, where the two busy street facades meet, is clipped and appears to have an inset vertical ribbon of windows that run the full height of the building, providing each floor with a perch from which to view the activity of the city.
