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”.
SODA Architects believes that the commercial space in the future will be an intelligent terminal that people can enter and a brand-new integration of multimedia technology and space functions. Entrusted by Nestle, SODA Architects has built the world's first concept store for Nescafe Dolce Gusto, which is a pioneering practice of this space design concept.
In order to highlight the innovative, colorful and optimistic spirit of the brand, we regard the product itself the “capsules” as the most basic element of the space and invisibly integrate the interactive media technology. We have designed a unique multimedia ” pixel gate” and ” invisible screen” for Nestle.
Located in the Sanlitun area, the Blufish Yingke is a coffee shop in the daytime and a bar in the evening. SODA Architects combines physical spatial morphologies with virtual dynamic images, allowing the atmosphere of the space to be changed over time.
During the daytime, the pure and elegant white setting provides a quiet place for the busy people to take a rest here. As the night falls, the swaying corals and the swimming fish become the protagonists.
Sydney is joining other Asian cities in embracing the stylish roof top bar.
Work has commenced on the new Disco Volante by Tony Owen Partners atop the 10 storey Nelson House in Clarence Street in Sydney’s CBD. The bar has been designed by Tony Owen and is being developed by the Ausino Group. Nelson House is an iconic heritage building being Sydney’s first steel frame high rise building. It has a distinct classical façade of high heritage significance.
Designed by Seyedeh Ayeh Mirrezaei to be used as a real estate office, it is located on the seventeen floor of the building and is encompassed over 1184,000 square feet in New Your City.
PIXELAND is a public space beautification comprising a combination of different outdoor facilities in a single space, such as landscape features, playscape features for kids and leisure features for adults.
The project is inspired by the digital concept of pixels. While a pixel is the smallest independent sample of an image with its own RGB or CMYK color information, it is the combination of numerous pixels what results in any given digital image.
The Bamboo Office is one of the winners of the “1st International Design Building Competition”, promoted by the “Chinese Sustainable Design Centre” and the “China New Building Materials Design & Research Institute”. Barberio Colella ARC, in collaboration with Angelo Figliola, designed The Bamboo Office, a proposal in which architectural, bioclimatic and environmental aspects converge. The main goal of the design is to connect future employers with nature. This means that people inside the building can constantly perceive the passage of time and the flow of seasons during the year. In this way, who works inside the building or visits it can feel the synergistic relationship between architecture and nature.This object is pursued thanks to different architectural and natural devices. First, a double skin facade, which allows the optimal bioclimatic behaviour of the building during the different seasons, permitting the heat to enter during the summer and the cool air to penetrate inside the building in a passive manner, using benefits of natural ventilation. Inside the double skin facade, there is the “bamboo line”, which consents to control and optimize the glare amount, while permits the light to enter inside the building a diffuse way. The bamboo line also creates all around the building the sensation to work surrounded by nature, potentially reaching the maximum level of mental and physical comfort. Plus, an “inner green space” permits employers and visitors to live the green space not only inside the building but also outside it, creating an outdoor lounge area. This area is surrounded by high bamboo plants which shades the South side of the building during the summer, protecting the same from wind during the winter.
‘TIJ (name explanation: This is a Dutch word joke. ‘TIJ’ means ‘tide’ which refers to the returning tides in the Haringvliet, but quickly pronounced it also means ‘the egg’)
‘TIJ is the biggest and most striking of a series of objects designed to celebrate the opening of the Haringvliet sluices in November 2018. The sluices were opened in order to improve water quality and biodiversity, while also stimulating fish migration from the North Sea to the river delta system of Maas and Rhine in the Netherlands. This will create a new, salt-resistant and salt-loving natural environment. The biodiversity in the surrounding nature reserves will increase and a more robust, healthier ecosystem will develop in the coming years. To let people experience and explore these changes, a series of bird observatories have been designed in the Haringvliet area.
Atlantic Plumbing is the first building completed in a three-phase development project. The 310-unit rental building features a cantilevered glass and aluminum box framed in a Corten steel truss. Resident amenities include a fitness center, club rooms, rooftop pool, and landscaped terraces. Salvaged signage, bricks, and steel from the derelict building that once occupied the site have been incorporated into the lobby, reflecting the history of the V Street NW corridor. Atlantic Plumbing was influenced by the photography of Bernd and Hilla Becher.
The Split Box House, for a busy working couple and their three children, is located near Emory University and the CDC in Atlanta, Georgia. The client’s wanted a house that is a quiet, restrained, escape from the excessively noisy digital world that overly stimulates their daily lives and is a reaction to the surrounding banal spec homes each a louder spectacle than the next.
