An increasing number of old houses in rural area are being renovated to resort hotels targeting for city dwellers recently in China. This project is located in Baisha Village, Yunnan Province, where is an idyllic rural area with Naxi traditional houses. The masonry façade of the old houses is made by stacking local Wuhua-stones, and people can take a view of the majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain nearby. We were requested to reuse the four existing houses and the main gate, also build new buildings in irregular shaped extended site around them.
Spaces, atmospheres, textures and light are the four key concepts to approach the Sundaram House project, concepts that merge into an architecture so simplistic and imposing that it is a paradise to inhabit.
The spaces are methodically distributed in three levels that contain two residential areas; one for the owners of the house and another one for their guests.
In the main area the garage and a front garden are found, perfect exordium for the living hall that welcomes its visitors and thus, start the tour to the kitchen, dining room and a covered terrace with a pool in a central garden and outdoor cinema , a guest room, laundry, two main bedrooms connected by an extensive corridor and a study-terrace that offers an incomparable view of the natural landscape of the mexican jungle.
This House is built in a ravine a little uphill from the coastline to the mountains and sandwiched between the mountains and mountains.
This plan is a step by the existing stone cliff. In the basement floor using this step, the garage and the study space are planned, and the living space is planned on the first floor.
The living room on the first floor is continuous with the deck terrace on the sea side, and can enjoy the environment in an open space.
The town of Mouvaux first created an urban hub where a school, housing units and sports hall were built. A cultural centre was subsequently added, erected on a plot of land conferring optimum visibility and bringing the urban development zone to fruition. The aim of this project was to create a cultural instrument including a performance hall, premises for associations, a venue for symposiums and conferences and workshops for artistic practices such as theatre, music and the visual and plastic arts.
Studio MUTT were appointed by Universal Works in late 2017 to act as architect and creative partner for their future stores. The brief was to determine how an approach to clothing can translate into an approach to architecture. Studio MUTT developed a functional and vibrant style that responds to the layout out the building and could be tailored to subsequent sites. Coal Drops Yard is the second in the collaboration following the Soho store at 26 Berwick Street.
Sustainable & Energy efficient with Smart home capability
Maintenance free exterior
Flexible, spatially dynamic floor plan on a challenging hillside site
The goals for this project were multi-faceted and ambitious- Design a new, modern, sustainable and energy efficient home that had the highest level of craft and attention to detail. The floor plan is open and spacious, providing function and flexibility, three of the five bedrooms are designed with flexible use in mind- they can be master bedrooms, an in-law unit, home office or family room.
The project is located on the ground floor of Chengdu Shangri-La Hotel with a street frontage. There are two categories with a single kitchen, one is for the Japanese-style barbecue Robatayaki, the other is for Kaiseki which is a traditional Japanese meal brought in courses. Referring two different traditional typology of Japanese houses, civilian’s house and tea-room of Samurai, we extracted characteristic elements and expanded them multiple-layered, so to create an enduring space without being consumed.
Our client was a single FIFO worker at the start of the project, who wanted a laid-back and robust sanctuary back home.
He would arrive by car from the airport after a month off-shore, and wanted the house to be instrumental in readjusting his mindset back into an on-shore, city-based existence for the ensuing month.
The home needed to allow a gradual adjustment. Nothing too abrupt. Connection with Fremantle, but also plenty of privacy and dimly lit space to enjoy solitude.
A place that was gentle on the senses, yet also engaging.
The project-site is located on a territory along the train tracks next to the Rennes main station and forms part of the EuroRennes development. The Beaumont site forms part of the master plan by the Parisian office FGP by Philippe Gazeau and Louis Paillard and Agence Ter. The program contains approximately 25.000 m2 of development for offices, retail, housing and an underground parking garage.
This architecture might remind you of the images of
Kanoko, a fawn drinking water, “Kanoko” means a young deer in Japanese
Like a collar of a Kimono
Like Origami , folding paper work
A huge thumb pointing to the ground
An asymmetric shape
The site is situated on a corner, so you can see two facades of this building. This is the first building that catches youｒ eyes when you get out of the station. Accordingly, we have designed this building not just as a simple cube, but as a funny and interesting form composed by two sides of the façade in order to make people create various images. It is designed sharply, clearly and dynamically.
