Article source: Nan arquitectos Due to the pandemic installed in our country at the beginning of 2020, the decision was made by the municipal government to adapt its facilities to the new normal. As a consequence of this situation, it is intended, above all, to guarantee the safety of both workers and users outside the facilities. In this way, we seek health solutions that minimize the impact of the virus on the relationships and procedures that will be carried out within the city council. To do this, we try to find the best design and technical options. An example of this is forced ventilation to prevent the virus from staying in space as much as possible. Thus we generate a false metal ceiling where we locate the ventilation and air conditioning installations.  Image Courtesy © Nan arquitectos

Casa 9B in Quito, Ecuador by Bernardo Bustamante ArquitectosNovember 5th, 2021 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Bernardo Bustamante Arquitectos A house raised on one floor, on a corner lot of 700m2. The mandatory withdrawals occupy a large part of the land, that’s why it was decided to be solve it with an L-shaped configuration, that with the same construction, forms an enclosure towards the street and contains the social area and a private patio to which the House opens for the enjoyment of outdoor spaces. The Urbanization where the project is located, prohibits front enclosures, which harmonizes the coexistence between neighbors, but it limits the privacy of the ground floor spaces, so these perimeter facades show hermeticism and introspection towards the interior.

Article source: noa* network of architecture Boundaries between past and future, between dream and reality, between inside and outside: noa* makes the invisible lines visible, which become part of the full picture and, above all, instead of a separation, a connection between two worlds. It is a privilege to have the space to realize one’s own vision, nestled between one’s own meadows and woods, with an expanse that affords views from the Sciliar to the Rittner Horn, all the way to the Merano Alps and the Dolomites. The historic Lobishof, a perfect ensemble of an old inn, residential house, and traditional barn, is now writing the next chapter of its history with the next generation – one in which noa* has created the new, architectural framework.
