Na Nikitina Residential Quarter in Siberia, Russia by BrusnikaThursday, January 6th, 2022Article source: Brusnika A quarter featuring urban villas in a residential area Na Nikitina is a residential quarter comprising eight urban villas and a tower block in Novosibirsk, Russia. It exemplifies how historic urban fabric can be restored and revitalised. In the early 20th century a market square and wooden cottages were sited in the area. The city structure degraded in the Soviet times with high-rises and industrial buildings replacing private housing. It resulted in chaotic construction, district amalgamation and shrinking streets. The two-storey houses built just after WWII had fallen into ruin by the early 21 century and their residents were relocated. In 2016 Brusnika development company proceeded to design and construct a new housing estate on the site.  Image Courtesy © Brusnika

Stealth House in Austin, Texas by Specht ArchitectsFriday, August 27th, 2021Article source: Specht Architects Many parcels of land in growing metropolitan areas don’t naturally lend themselves to residential uses. In urban and denser suburban areas there are disused industrial sites, low-density warehouse zones, abandoned retail sites, parcels next to highways, alley lots, and other seemingly unappealing places to live. Exurban areas also have plenty of fringe properties that lack desirable views or have security or environmental issues. Specht’s Stealth House is a viable home design solution. It has no windows, the exterior is a blank canvas concrete block walls and a large steel door. Exterior walls can be left as-is, wrapped, decorated, or camouflaged — per the homeowner’s preference the facade can be a statement, or stealthily fade into the background. The interior, however, is a light-filled oasis with lush landscaped courtyards and floor-to ceiling glass windows. It is bright, private, quiet, and comfortable.  Image Courtesy © Specht Architects

The Pyramid of Tirana in Albania by MVRDVSunday, March 14th, 2021Article source: MVRDV Construction has started on the Pyramid of Tirana, the brutalist monument in the heart of Albania’s capital city. MVRDV’s design will see this crucial heritage building, once the showpiece of Communist dictator Enver Hoxha, dramatically renovated. The concrete structure will be reused, the atrium and its surroundings greened and opened, and a small village of cafes, studios, workshops, and classrooms – where Albanian youth will learn various technology subjects for free – will permeate the site, both inside and outside the pyramid itself. The Pyramid is thus expected to become a new hub for Tirana’s cultural life and a carrier for the new generation.  Image Courtesy © MVRDV
