Article source: Sparano + Mooney Architecture The design intention for this residence was to examine the concept of ‘harmony,’ provide optimal acoustics and space for intimate performances while also accommodating the family’s daily needs, and balance the connection to the land and dramatically-changing seasonal views of the surrounding mountains. To accommodate performances, a cathedral-like volume was created for the main hall. The lower and upper volumes overlap with a large window that provides stunning views of the Wasatch Mountains. The music room was carefully located adjacent to the double-height space and living area so that seating and overflow could be accommodated. Given the unique nature of the residence, meticulous consideration was given to acoustics to ensure privacy between the music room and bedrooms above. Materials such as rosewood were used on the ceiling in the library and music room, with Zebrawood used for the media shelves and bookshelves. Additionally, each component of the home offers a distinct atmosphere of color, light, sound, and sight that becomes apparent as one enters and moves through the home.

Article source: William Duff Architects The Economic Advancement Center (EAC) is a job training and employment resource center, serving the community through a partnership between the City of South San Francisco, Job Train, Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center and the County of San Mateo. For this project, William Duff Architects (WDA) transformed the former bank space, injecting energy and vitality into a shared workplace with open and private offices, meeting rooms and job training facilities. The team created an efficient design that could be delivered quickly, minimizing supply chain delays and allowing for maximum value from the City’s budget. The result is that the EAC feels more akin to an enticing start-up environment, rather than a government facility. The lobby’s green wall creates a welcoming vibe and functions as both a visual focal point and as a divider, housing the Center’s public resource library and the innovation classroom area behind it. EAC’s positive out-comes are two-fold: it tapped the transformative power of architecture and design to create a welcoming space for local job seekers and entrepreneurs, and from a practical standpoint, activated a long-vacant city property, creating a model for revitalizing cities.

The project involved the tenant improvement of the entire 9,755 square feet of the entire floor of a Class A office building in San Francisco. The firm wrapped the core in warm wood paneling along with additional soffit details to create a visual shared hearth that can be experienced throughout the workplace. The “hearth” visually and culturally connects the three programs while allowing each agency to have its own identity. The project also features secured zones and a flexible assembly space that can be used for consulate events that are open to the public.

Article source: Rolf Ockert. Architect. This site is certainly one of the most unusual we have ever come across. There is no backyard. Instead a rocky ravine within the cliffs brings the Pacific Ocean right into its core. The house is an extension of its location and could not reasonably sit anywhere else. It grows out of the rock organically and responds to the gorge that defines its base.

Article source: Oleg Volosovskiy The Masnavi office was named a “warship” during its creation. It is located in a building that rises like a ship over a steep shore and water surface and is looking on the left bank of Kyiv and the Dnipro river, like from the captain’s cabin. Space in 520m² is divided into zones: design, financial, analytical departments, private offices, and meeting rooms. Corridors combine work areas with common open spaces. The offices remind work cabins of the crew, with different lighting scenes. The glass walls of some offices pass the daylight into corridors.

Article source: FRAN SILVESTRE ARQUITECTOS Located on the main street of a town near Valencia, the house is part of a fragment of 20th century history. The existing façade and building footprint are protected, but the volume exceeds the needs of the new project. Faced with this situation, it is proposed to empty the interior space in ruins and show it in an innovative way. From the outside, the façade maintains its character, without modifying the street, which becomes a kind of scenery from another era. The tone of this old façade is unified with an antelope gray treatment that goes completely unnoticed.
