Artist’s Society and High end Residential Flats in Shoreditch, London by Simone de Gale Architects

Saturday, March 30th, 2013

Article source: Simone de Gale Architects

The project provided an excellent design solution for re-modelling a largely dilapidated Victorian building located in Shoreditch by converting the residential dwelling into high end residential flats and to extend at the rear and provide a local artists society for artists and curators within the vicinity. The design for the extension included a contrasting contemporary glazed roof detailing with strong horizontal lines cutting into the verticality of the strong classical Victorian facade.

Calamari Union in Turku, Finland by LRA

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

Article source: LRA

The project responds to a new demand of making a city outside of the city. How must we design places to live in contexts not yet settled? Limen in Latin means limit, but also threshold, entrance. It is therefore in the etymology of this word that the premises are found for what can become a place of boundary, not to be intended as a barrier, but as an opportunity of connection. How are the limits of cities emancipated? Identity of living. That is the first reaction that the new settlement proposes to promote.
