Article source: Abon Studio The official name we gave this project is Two-Close-Between, the name is derived from the actual constraints of the site’s surroundings along with the functionality of the building. The drivers for this project were problem solving privacy aspects whilst preserving views. This is a dual living home built on a small 450m2 site, snug between two existing properties. The main objective was to retain the views of the ocean whilst maximizing privacy between the dual living and also from the surrounding homes, which are situated around all four sides of the site.

Re: Mirror House 3.0 in Kraków, Poland by REFORM ArchitektFebruary 25th, 2021 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: REFORM Architekt Designing houses is no longer just about their functionality, but also about whether they are fashionable, hit the customer’s taste. They surprise. Architecture is one of those fields that is influenced by many trends from other areas. Much also results from the expectations of customers, but the architects are the creators. They are the ones who create unique blocks, in which we want to live, and recent years in design show that we do not like cliché and boredom. This is perfectly understood by architect Marcin Tomaszewski, who as the creative director of REFORM Architekt created a completely innovative concept of mirror houses. They perfectly fit into the environment, sometimes even merge with it into one whole.  Image Courtesy © REFORM Architekt

Article source: SRG Partnership As the place in which the transition from driver to pedestrian occurs, the 409,000-square-foot LA Garage is a nexus of activity for people arriving on campus. The design breaks up the typical parking structure mass, providing opportunities for daylight and creating a “wow” space in between: a public covered courtyard carved into the center of the building that encourages chance encounters, casual gatherings, and collaboration. Surrounded by three sides of backlit glass showing iconic Olympic athletes, the courtyard faces the campus daycare center. Employees and their children can experience playful elements incorporated into the design such as a slide into the courtyard, rubberized pyramids, a balance beam and a running track. Furthermore, bikes are provided in the courtyard to easily connect people in the space to the campus.  Image Courtesy © Andrew Pogue

Houses + Mixed Building MBV2 in Sobral, Brazil by Rede ArquitetosFebruary 24th, 2021 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Rede Arquitetos The initial demand for the project was the construction of a set of single-family terraced houses in an allotment in the expansion area of the city of Sobral, located in the semi-arid region of Ceará. When analyzing the 25 lots of the project, it was noticed that its diversity – 11 lots of 175.00 m2, 13 lots of 210 m2 and 01 lot of 275.00 m2 – allowed for variation in the solutions. Thus, the proposal resulted in two projects: the MBV2 Houses and the MBV2 Mixed Building. About the MBV2 Houses, the projects dealt with two distinct areas: private, referring to the solution of the residence itself, and public, since the complex acquires an urban complex scale.

Article source: Visioarq Arquitectos Light, intimacy, balance and contemplation of the outdoor spaces are some of Casa RCR’s striking features – a haven located in a residential area of Anadia, in central Portugal. This exercise in balance and volume distribution designed spaces to be fully experienced, some of them more private and intimate and others in affinity with the outside, all while maintaining the intimate and refuge-like character in relationship with its surroundings. In addition to creating a particular spatial dynamic, the coordination of two overlapping and perpendicular spaces also created different visual relationships between empty and full spaces, between light and dark caused by the play of shadows, between private and semi-private areas and the view of the surrounding Serra do Caramulo in the background.
