Article source: DJX DESIGN STUDIO An Immersive Indoor “Micro City” The trends in all sectors keep changing along with the times. Following existing rules is a safe choice, but only when breaking the shackles of rules can we pioneer a new path towards future. This is in line with what Pritzker winner Renzo Piano advocates: ignoring and breaking rules. Based in Beijing, DJX Design conceives space by combining concept with functional demands. In recent two years, the practice has been mainly working on two major project series, Qushui Lanting Resort Hotel and Shuiguo Tangquan, with completed and under-construction projects in multiple Chinese cities including Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, Suzhou, etc.  Image Courtesy © Mingze, Xiaozhong Tan

Article source: Bakermat atelier voor architectuur The original house dates from 1959, the home of the current occupant’s grandmother. A typical Belgian subdivision house of that time. Sober in detailing, limited in daylight and with no connection between the living space and the garden. The current residents, a newly composed family with large age differences, needed more space. Mainly the parents felt the need for their own living space again. A space rich in daylight with a connection to the garden. An extension with a focus on lifelong living.

Article source: 123DV This 1400 m2 high-end freestanding villa in Tehran is built against a mountainside, with a garden that is raised 17 meters above street level. The facade is cladded with natural travertine stone: a famous high quality local product collected from the Iranian mountains. The wish of the owners to park their cars underground, resulted in a 20 meter long tunnel below the garden, leading towards the parking underneath the villa.  Image Courtesy © Parham Taghioff

Article source: Ark-shelter + ARCHEKTA Designing a healing and restorative facility like a Maggie centre is an honour for any architect. Many architects have designed Maggie centres before such as Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas and many more, it was inevitable to do research on what was designed before. Seeing this project as a snapshot in the long list of initiatives to support truly restorative design, one piece to contribute to the honourable path of creating healthy and healing environments. The AZ-Zeno hospital is the client and was in touch with the Maggie care organisation. They were inspired by the Maggie care philosophy and make this the first Maggie care inspired facility in Belgium.  Image Courtesy © BoysPlayNice

Article source: 123DV Being surrounded by water. A stunning view of the Mediterranean Sea. The residents of this villa enjoy a maximum holiday experience in their holiday villa. In the long-term they could even transform their holiday home into a place to settle down and grow old happily ever after. To guarantee a certain level of privacy for the owners, the street side facade looks rather aloof. After opening the door in the wall, the visitor would expect a continuation of the defensive atmosphere, but the effect of inversion is astonishing. From that moment on it surprises you everytime. After the first surprising element – the stepping stones in the water – you enter complete spatial openness. A transparent look is created by applying glass and long sight lines. The water and its reflection in different locations enhance this effect.  Image Courtesy © René van Dongen
