A river cruiser designed for the Far East by Salt & Water

Wednesday, July 31st, 2019

Article source: Salt & Water

This new cruiser for European tourists is designed to show the beauty of the Mekong River and the country through which it flows. For this reason, we designed the interior of this 56m long and four-deck ship in a modern style, based on the heritage of the Far East architecture.

The selected textures, materials and geometry are characteristic for this area. The entire interior is designed as a frame for nature through which it is cruising – to complement it, instead of drawing attention from the natural beauty of the landscape.

Gorgeous George in Cape Town, South Africa by urbane citizen architecture

Sunday, July 28th, 2019

Article source: urbane citizen architecture

In the heart of Cape Town’s bustling CBD, the property at 118 St George’s mall is not one building, but a consolidation of two. A “Cape Edwardian” building, estimated to have been completed in the early 1940s, stands on the corner of St Georges Mall and Longmarket Street, and is flanked by an Art Deco counterpart which was designed by the architectural firm Walgate & Elsworth, who designed the Table Mountain Cableway stations, for the offices of the United Building Society and completed c1938. While the characteristic external elements of the existing buildings have remained unchanged, like the Edwardian teak windows, the Art Deco granite façade and the noteworthy bronze portal doors framing the entrance, the interiors were sadly destroyed in the decades of reuse and reinvention of the space.

Marmalade Lane cohousing in Cambridge, England by Mole Architects

Wednesday, July 24th, 2019

Article source: Mole Architects 

Marmalade Lane, Cambridge’s first cohousing development, is now complete and welcoming K1 Cohousing members. This marks the culmination of eighteen years of work by the group, and comes at a moment when custom-build and community-led housing are being recognised by the government as viable and attractive models for future housing.

The development comprises 42 homes – a mix of two- to five-bedroom terraced houses and one- and two-bedroom apartments. In common with other cohousing communities now established in the UK, Marmalade Lane’s shared spaces and communal facilities, designed to foster community spirit and sustainable living, are integral to the development. These include extensive shared gardens as the focal space of the community, with areas for growing food, play, socialising and quiet contemplation, and a flexible ‘common house’ with a play room, guest bedrooms, laundry facilities, meeting rooms, and a large hall and kitchen for shared meals and parties. A separate workshop and gym are located elsewhere on site. All residents are members of K1 Cohousing, have a stake in the common parts and contribute to the management of the community. Fulfilling the group’s aspiration for mixed, intergenerational living, the multi-national group includes families with young children, retired and young professional couples and single-person households of different ages.

Unova Co-Working Space in Shenzhen, China by X+LIVING

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.

Hotel Theodore and Rider Restaurant in Washington by CTA | Cushing Terrell

Monday, June 24th, 2019

Article source: CTA | Cushing Terrell

The Roosevelt Hotel, now rebranded as Hotel Theodore, is an historic 20-story building iconic to the downtown Seattle cityscape. Cushing Terrell teamed with interior design consultants Susan Marinello Interiors and David Hill Design to renovate the hotel lobby, first-floor coffee shop, meeting rooms, two-story interior atrium, and the exterior façade. The project also included the addition of an upscale restaurant and bar called Rider, which nods to local industry with an open fish counter and features an open-air grill for an elevated, multi-sensory dining experience. Faux skylights mimic natural light levels, foregrounding the building’s natural environment to its visitors, while an exterior walk-up to the coffee shop invites urban pedestrians inside. The design is inspired by Seattle’s long tradition of “makers, builders, and doers,” incorporating materials that reflect a refined, handmade aesthetic to complement the historic and distinctive Art Deco styling of the existing hotel.

Refurbishment of Bergen’s KODE 1 Decorative Art Museum in Norway by 3RW Arkitekter

Sunday, June 23rd, 2019

Article source: 3RW Arkitekter

KODE 1 Museum of Decorative Art—part of KODE Museums, one of Norway’s largest art institutions—is a rehabilitation project by 3RW arkitekter of all the spaces in the centenary building receiving the public, through the insertion of a display wall for the first time showcasing the museum’s archive and creating a new dialectic between the thick stone walls of the old institution, the museum workspaces and the public. At a time when the cultural and artistic sectors of Bergen are thriving, KODE 1 is the latest addition to the city’s cultural revival.

New modular furniture was created to cater for the various spaces and programmes, inspired by ancient Nordic museum displays with slender steel units and flexible arrangements. A white steel mesh ceiling and custom-made carpets and curtains complete a list of key interior elements that were added to the museum to give it a new civic presence in the city.

Shanghai Grand Opera House in Shanghai, China by Snøhetta

Tuesday, May 7th, 2019

Article source: Snøhetta

The new Opera House is an important part of a new urban c for Shanghai that aims to place the city at the forefront of the globe, economically, scientifically, and culturally. The Opera House is expected to become one of the major cultural landmarks of Shanghai – the country’s 13th Five-Year Plan names it as the most important initiative to strengthen Shanghai’s cultural and global influence.

“The Shanghai Grand Opera House is a natural progression of our previous work with designing performing arts centers,” says Snøhetta Founder Kjetil Trædal Thorsen. “It is a culmination of the competence and insight gained through projects such as the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, the Busan Opera House in South Korea, the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts in Canada, and the Théâtre Nanterre-Amandiers renovation in Paris. The Shanghai Grand Opera House is a product of our contextual understanding and values, designed to promote public ownership of the building for the people of Shanghai and beyond”.
