The appearance of these historic buildings does not only transmit a certain esthetic value, but also a particular meaning. They are a visible bond to our past. And they tell their stories that anyone can experience by going inside. People can think of themselves as being part of a longer history. This way, old buildings can create a feeling of belonging. In other words, their structures keep community memories alive.

Terrace With a House by the Lake in Poznań, Polska by UGOJanuary 21st, 2022 by Sumit Singhal
Architects: UGO The building is surrounded on three sides by a large terrace, which is the focal point of the house. It opens to the west, providing the interior with sun and optimal views. The platform of the terrace is the main living space, it allows constant contact with nature, without interfering with it. The house was built at the top of an escarpment by the lake, in the eastern part of Wielkopolska. The original design of the house was to be in the type of a modern barn, one end wall of which would be completely glazed, thus opening the living room towards the lake. However, in such an arrangement, only the living area would have a view of the water, the remaining rooms, including bedrooms, would be directed to the sides.

Article source: FINCKH ARCHITEKTEN BDA The property is located on the southern slope of schorndorf (20 km east of stuttgart), directly bordering a protected area. in the north and east beautiful orchards as far as the eye can see, in the south and west marginal, uninspiring architecture. A place between urbanity and nature. The division of the building into three equal squares and their offset arrangement results in a maximum level of sunshine and orientation towards nature for all areas at all times of the day. through a split of the levels, the outside landscape and topography are experienced inside the building. Our building isn’t aligned to the structures of the surrounding buildings but reaches deeper and evolves from the task itself and the context of the location. it interlocks with the adjacent green and creates the transition to the residential area.

Article source: Marina Kutepovа The customer who appealed to us, at the beginning there was a desire to make a planning solution, just put the furniture. But when he showed me an object and looking at this space, my eyes tanned. I offered him to make a “cool office” there, he shrugged and said: “Come on!”. That’s how we decided to make this office. We faced an interesting task. It was necessary to make space for the team of 8 people who are constantly in the office. Visitors rarely come to them, but if they came to them, our task was to be impressed by the status of this office and the company. We had the opportunity to make everything we want in this office. The only customer did not want to invest in the decoration of the walls of the very space, they decided to preserve the original species of walls by 80%.
San Peregrino Oratory in Paraná, Brazil by Así! ArquitecturaJanuary 19th, 2022 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Así! Arquitectura The project is located in a very consolidated urban sector, on a busy street south of the city of Paraná. Initially, the place was an undeveloped and depopulated area in which a small temple was erected, with a gabled roof and side tower. Then, as the years progressed, the city grew and so did its immediate surroundings. The initial temple became too small for the demand it had to satisfy, and therefore a larger building is built next to it for that purpose. In a third stage, a hall, classrooms and other facilities were built. Faced with such growth, the small initial temple started to house toilets for the whole complex, degrading its symbolism and history.

Article source: ASOLIDPLAN The brief was for a multi-generational home for three households – the client’s young family with a child, their parents, and their aunt – with private spaces, common spaces and generous greenery. We formulated the parti as a landscape double skin enveloping three levels of habitable spaces and punctured by a vertical landscaped courtyard. The first level is for communal use, second for the elderly parents and aunt, and the third level for the young family with their own private door and staircase. A roof garden caps the building.
