A little house built on a piece of land in the neighborhood of Santa Celina, in the south of Mar del Plata.
The area is known for its abundance of trees and greenery. The property is centrally located on a Pampean-Argentinian block. The site is unique as it contains an atypical level drop towards the main street. To the front, a wide tree-lined street. To the back, facing north, a picturesque green pedestrian space.
The house is compact. Although it has limited floor space, the design manages to offer multiple circulation paths which all converge in a central semi-sunken courtyard.
This project aims to recover the set of ruins on the agricultural property of Fazenda de São Bartolomeu.
The Existing Situation
The whole is more like a small village where each building is a distinct part of its neighbor. A rich variety of typologies appears and yet there is a profound uniformity in the whole. The old facilities dedicated to agriculture were built and adapted according to new needs. The replacement of people by the machine brought changes in use.
Located in Vila Olímpia, in São Paulo, the project was conceived for a single young man who wanted an apartment that reflected his cosmopolitan lifestyle. As he lived alone, one request was to modify the original apartment plan, integrating one of the three bedrooms with the living room and increasing the social area space to receive friends. In addition, the balcony was closed and integrated into the living room, creating an area of about 75m² that includes a dining room, living room, and gourmet kitchen with bar.
The luxury of the house is in the nature, the intention of the house was to evoke the peace of the environment through durable materials that would age naturally with the environment.
Architecturally, it is developed in two main volumes, which timidly show themselves as a piece sculpted in concrete, brick and large windows within a forest of Maples that surround them.
A residential house has been reconstructed in the Ribiškės Landscape Reserve belonging to the Pavilnys Regional Park.
The project aimed at reflecting the local spirit, contextually and sensitively meeting the needs of a modern house. Keeping a link to the past, and yet creating a present-day heritage, has become one of the main challenges. Do not expose architecture, but rather “immerse” it in an old apple orchard. To anchor the house comfortably to the terrain and make the inhabitants feel at ease in the environment.
Worrell Yeung has designed a 4,900-SF family lake house defined by cantilevered horizontal roof planes that cascade down the steep site towards the water. The home is constructed primarily from site-cast concrete, allowing for large, uninterrupted glass openings that enhance the connection to nature. Programmatically, a lush interior courtyard separates the public space from private areas, while a rooftop garden softens and blurs the modern, geometric home into the lakeside landscape. Sustainable and green strategies bolster the design throughout.
Located in Fazenda Boa Vista, a luxury condominium in the interior of São Paulo state, Brazil, Jatobá House stands with its simple lines and imposing volumes in the middle of the Atlantic Forest. Far from the big city, the country house has escapism as its mantra: every detail brings a relaxing atmosphere, where residents can disconnect and enjoy nature in its purest and simplest form.
The project’s conception started with a large block, which evolved volumetrically and was fragmented, filling the entire plot of land. The five large white cubic blocks that mark the project were then created: each of them is an independently functioning suite. Thus, the privacy and comfort of the family, consisting of a young couple with two teenage children, are preserved.
Designing a house in the high-density area of the resort town of Pattaya takes a little bit of design techniques from here and there. On one aspect the house is expected to express the laid-back nature of the seaside town, on the other hand the surroundings are quite cramped with neighbor walls right next to ours. The architect then carefully studies massing placement and utilize the negative space as the feature element to craft the overall architectural composition.
The Northern Quarter is a new housing estate in the northern-eastern part of Yekaterinburg. Located in a residential area, the plot neighbours high-rises, private cottages, production facilities and garages.
The master plan from the Dutch LEVS Architecten restores the historical grid of streets, disrupted by industrial and private construction, aligns it and creates a rich environment based on the ‘city within the city’ principle, with variously sized and designed houses, a square, an avenue, numerous shopping facilities and amenities. Brusnika was the project’s contractor and developer.
My family and other animals» is a comprehensive home reform in the neighborhood of Vistabella (Murcia), for a family and their pets.
As in the well-known book by Gerald Durrell, “my family and other animals\”, animals are part of the daily life of this family. Unlike the house in Corfu, in this case we started from a 77m2 city apartment.
