Stay_Soar in Seoul, South Korea by studio_suspicion

Thursday, October 31st, 2019

Article source: studio_suspicion

Stay_Soar is a multi-family housing project in Yangjaecheon Cafe Street. A total of 13 units were arranged in this volume of 286.81m2, including 12 residential units and one retail on the first floor. This was possible because the area of common use space in a typical floor plan was reduced to minimum by incorporating the skip floor layout. We tried to reveal the skip floor structure to the outside through the outline of the mass and the arrangement of the windows. An important element that determines the impression of this building is the movement in the border where the upper part covered with white shell meets with the lower part exposed with the frame structure. This is also the result of moving along the building composition of skip floor. Since most of the outer walls, including the inclined wall, were planned with white stucco finish, it was important to have a countermeasure against contamination. The construction was completed even incorporating details that are not commonly used. In addition, we even had the opportunity to sufficiently inspect the actual performance of the finishing because the construction extended over a period of fine dust and rainy season continuing back-to-back.

Casa Coubes in Tijuana, Mexico by Generica Architecture + Urban Design

Friday, October 25th, 2019

Article source: Generica Architecture + Urban Design

A 3-patio house on a hillside in the city of Tijuana. The house takes advantage of the city views to the east with a linear balcony, then it centers around an entry courtyard that allows natural light to penetrate all the interiors. The hillside helps create a small garden and green roof for the guest bedroom and studio space. The house is in constant dialogue between the inside and outside.

Designed for a social scientist, the project is an interplay of layered spaces. Rendered in white allowing its interior to be a canvass of natural color throughout the day. All of its inhabited open spaces lay in a seamless second-floor level that moves from interior to the exterior as daily life progresses.

Rooftop office in Germany by CROSS Architecture / Benthem Crouwel GmbH

Monday, October 21st, 2019

Article source: CROSS Architecture / Benthem Crouwel GmbH

With the Rooftop Office, CROSS Architecture has created a prismatic building structure for the renowned furnishing house Mathes in the middle of Aachen, which not only opens up unique perspectives on the cathedral and the old town, but also brings working in the Open Space Office to a new level. In addition, the project provides a positive impulse with regard to the redensification of urban areas. Mid-sized town Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle) ist he westernmost city in Germany.

CROSS Architecture has given the 1960s existing building a progressive look with a 400 sqm prismatic structure. “This building needed an extraordinary architecture that was appropriate to the particularity of the location,” explains Markus Sporer, Founding Partner CROSS Architecture. The result is a structure with a trapezoidal basic figure that is created by the play of differently inclined window and façade fronts – tilted outwards on the cathedral side and inwards on the other sides. There is a terrace all around. The cubature is derived from the urban planning situation in the immediate vicinity of the World Heritage Site Aachen Cathedral and Town Hall, the consideration of lines of sight and orientation.

Da Wang Jing Mixed-use Development in Beijing, China by Aedas

Tuesday, September 24th, 2019

Article source: Aedas

Standing dominantly at the second largest CBD in Beijing, the Da Wang Jing Mixed-use Development designed by Andrew Bromberg at Aedas, is a dynamic commercial gateway at junction of the arterial expressway from the airport to central Beijing and the North 5th Ring Road, where it can be seen from distance like a shining urban oasis. The design juxtaposes the staid image of Grade A offices and corporate headquarters together with an amicable spatial experience to all users, making a vivid interpretation on Andrew Bromberg’s concept of “co-existence of people and nature”.

The five towers of the development are sensibly distant from one another, providing generous public spaces with greenery extending all the way to the Wangjing Park north to site. The design aims to accentuate its relationship to the surrounding greeneries, guaranteeing maximum permeability and encouraging public access. With its soft flowing garden-like temperament, the development easily distinguishes itself from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding commercial neighborhood as a truly human-scaled architectural expression.

DaB House in Buenos Aires, Argentina by BAM! architecture

Tuesday, August 20th, 2019

Article source: BAM! architecture

The DaB House is conceived in a lot of limited dimensions on the outskirts of the city of Buenos Aires, in a green and open environment. The main challenge of the project was to generate an architectural tour that interacts with the materials and the light in contrast with the formal search of a very compact layout to optimize the square meters.

The program has been organized in two floors. On the ground floor the social areas are located, which have a direct relation with the garden, therefore they connect in a comprehensive and dynamic way by means of a wooden joint that acts as a nucleus assembling the space between both levels. On the upper floor, the private areas are located, which have a relation with the terrace-garden that acts as a viewpoint and as a space for contemplation of nature.

Café Restaurant Zentral in Südtirol, Italy by MESSNER ARCHITECTS

Friday, August 16th, 2019

Article source: MESSNER ARCHITECTS

Through the reconstruction and redesign of the aging premises there was a welcoming and functional café and restaurant created. In order to bring more daylight to the inside, the existing arched windows at the west and south facade were expanded to the floor. This way these facades create continuum of the arches on the north side of the building. The arches on the west side facing the street increase visibility between public space and bar, which has an inviting and exhilarant effect on the public life in the village. The generous windows with the basket-awning at the south side expand the restaurant area by a sunny garden, which is now accessible through wooden doors that are integrated in the arches.

Article source: ROSSETTI

Louis Armstrong Stadium, located in Flushing Meadows, NY, has won a prestigious international design award, called Prix Versailles, Special Prize for Interior in the Sports category. The award recognizes structures for the beauty of their design, sustainability and commercial function. The stadium is designed by ROSSETTI, headquartered in Detroit.

Louis Armstrong stadium is one of a collection of facilities at the United States Tennis Association’s (USTA) 42-acre National Tennis Center, which is home to the US Open. The 14,069-seat stadium opened in 2018 and features an innovative design that encourages air flow through the stadium while keeping rain off the court. It is true to the outdoor nature of the tournament by allowing play to continue during the rain while naturally conditioning the space for spectators and players.

Mt Baker Residence in Seattle, Washington by Best Practice Architecture

Thursday, July 25th, 2019

Article source: Best Practice Architecture 

The owners of this house loved the location and views but wanted to make some notable updates and expand their less than perfect 80’s era home. The house which sits on a steep slope has a unique layout as you enter from a bridge at the upper living level and descend to the private sleeping areas and ultimately to the lowest garage floor below.  The scope of the project included a modest addition on the 2 uppermost floors including a 3rd bedroom/ home office on the mid-level and kitchen expansion on the upper level. In addition, there is a new exterior steel fabricated stairway leading to an expansive new roof deck. The new mid floor bedroom/ office provides a new more direct connection to their private garden, and the expanded upper level is now large enough to accommodate a huge dinner parties prepared in a home chef’s dream kitchen. The powder room has been relocated partially over the stair and under a large custom skylight which allows natural light to seep deep into the lower levels.

Hatley House in Canada by Pelletier de Fontenay + FRANÇOIS ABBOTT

Wednesday, June 12th, 2019

Article source: v2com 

Approaching the Hatley house from the nearby dirt road, one immediately recognizes the high-pitched gables so typical of the area. The roofline stands out above the rolling hills: three gables clustered together in an unusual way. The house is built on a natural plateau, providing a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding countryside and the mountains beyond. This landscape is defined by rolling hills, pastures, forest, and mountains. Farmhouses, barns, and sheds are scattered within this scenery. These structures are integral to the language of this place. The house uses these elements from the original agricultural structures, reinterpreting them in a more abstract way.
