Article source: Luigi Rosselli Architects Architecturally, earthships form part of the discipline of adaptive reuse. They embrace a style of architecture developed in the late 20th century, which aims to utilise both natural and upcycled materials to create passive, sustainable, and often off-grid dwellings. Here, with Luigi Rosselli Architects’ Earth-Ship, that concept of adaptive reuse and connection to the environment is extended with the revitalisation of an existing home whose original design was akin to that of a drilling platform, hovering above, and entirely disconnected from its craggy and precipitous surroundings. Luigi Rosselli has never much been a fan of ‘pole houses’, constructed with the intention of admiring the view from above while denying contact and symbiosis with the natural habitat the house occupies. As such, the aim with Earthship was to bring the existing two storeys of the house down to earth by adding a further two storeys below them to create a direct link to the garden.

Article source: Orange Architects At the foot of the Roof Park in Rotterdam housing project The Hudsons has been realized.

The early 20th-century district of Bospolder-Tussendijken has been undergoing restructuring for decades. The more recent plans aim to integrate more mid- and high-income groups into a district with a culturally highly diverse population. The Hudsons contributes to this ambition with great care.

Article source: Alvisi Kirimoto and Studio Gemma Close to Villa Ada, in the heart of the Parioli district in Rome, Alvisi Kirimoto with Studio Gemma has designed a new hub surrounded by greenery for the LUISS Guido Carli university campus. The intervention, which completes the university spaces and enhances the surrounding green areas, has involved the demolition of an existing shed, subject to landscape constraints, construction from scratch, and the expansion of an educational building. The hub, which develops over two levels, for a total area of 1.500 sqm, is positioned in the most accessible and picturesque point of the complex landscape, near a small wood located to the south of the lot, the last extension of the park and the campus main square.

Article source: Raimundo Gutiérrez Arquitecto The house is located at the front line next to the sea of a few lots condominium, in the north zone of Matanzas. The land that is part of this lot, is formed by a slight slope that leads to a 65-meter cliff, ending at the beach. For the general design of the house, three main factors were considered that were decisive in the decision-making process: to protect an exterior sector from the strong south-westerly wind that prevails in the area, to maintain privacy from the neighbors on the north and south sides, and to take full advantage of the sea view.

Article source: IFUB* Life in Berlin. Over the past few decades, alongside the daily rat race of real estate sharks, big investors and ongoing gentrification, a popular alternative model – the housing cooperative – has been gaining ground. The Baugruppe D2, consisting of 15 families, was fortunate enough to get hold of one of the last building plots in central Neukölln. Their task for the IFUB* was to design an ecological, friendly, yet modern house that is well integrated into the city surroundings, with plenty of greenery and both courtyard and rooftop communal spaces.

Casa Ocoxal in Mexico by A001 Taller de ArquitecturaApril 15th, 2023 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: A001 Taller de Arquitectura Casa Ocoxal is located in the forest near Valle de Bravo, 160 kilometers from Mexico City, on a 9,000m2 plot of land that functions as a productive microsystem and in which the house is respectfully integrated. The shape of the main house is born from a geometry of superimposed volumes through which the void is inhabited. The formal composition evokes traditional houses in Valle de Bravo, the image of the cabin with a gabled roof, proposes a reinterpretation of this iconography with a contemporary aesthetic achieved thanks to the black sheet on the facade, the concrete and the glass.

Article source: Kariouk Architects A Family Retreat in Rural Ontario The clients for this project live abroad, and sought a Canadian homestead an anchor for their large, young family. During summer and winter holidays, the parents wanted their children immersed in an Ontario landscape like the one in which they were raised. To this end, they requested a “rustic, modern retreat” for their 100-acre property of forest, wetland, and meadows.  Image Courtesy © Scott Norsworthy
