Article source: STIPFOLD A minimalist design concept was chosen for this interior design project, with a focus on a monochromatic color palette and a limited range of textures. Calacatta marble was the dominant material used, with other materials chosen to complement its tones. In the common room, a natural stone wall with vertical linear carving serves to highlight the organic character of the material. The common room is bordered on two sides by stained glass windows and offers a view of Vake Park. Within the monochromatic interior, the rays of the sun entering at different times add a distinct atmosphere to the space. To provide protection from the sun’s glare, gray blinds have been installed.  Image Courtesy © Giorgi Mamasakhlisi
Terrazzo House in Bangkok, Thailand by EKAR architectsFebruary 9th, 2023 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: EKAR architects A young married couple, decided to buy an old small 20-year-old existing house with the reasonable price, located on a land where is surrounded by different houses, without a fence to separate this house from one another. Since this land literally have held many families who share the same blood for four generations, one fence is adequate and appropriate. Once the clients bought the house and came to us, they had no any issues regarding living among a cluster of unfamiliar families. Their key requirements were mainly about modernizing the house and maximizing space, including the living area, master bedroom and carpark, under the limited budget.

Article source: SBSA – Sandri Barbara Smaniotto Andrea architetti associati The refurbishment project transforms the existing building in a holiday home for a family that love mountains. The recovery of this building called tabià (once used as stable and barn) becomes an opportunity for reinventing, in a contemporary way, a building strongly linked to local agricultural tradition. Inserted in a sloping plot, in second lane with respect to the roadside and the buildings facing it, the tabià develops into 3 levels: one partially underground with a mixed structure in stone and concrete; an intermediate one with a structure in wooden pillars and beams, where there is also the main entrance; and an attic projecting cantilevered on all four sides. In order to respect the character of the property, a clean and contemporary approach was taken to the renovation: in line with the desire to maintain the fragile balance and the coherence between the vernacular tradition and the contemporary character, details have been reworked which tend to give a more abstract and neutral character of the whole.

Article source: RIPOLLTIZON Estudio de arquitectura The site is located on the border of the residential area of the Ibiza marina and an area of floodplains and crops.

Article source: NOMO STUDIO Largely untouched since it’s construction in the 1970s, a complete redistribution of this Barcelona penthouse was undertaken in order to adapt to a contemporary open plan lifestyle. The project’s design responds to a modernized approach to an overall classic building and the will to preserve its inherited elegance, altogether aligned to the clients’ preferences. Superfluous partitions were removed, connecting all day areas into a large fluid space thus avoiding corridors. Special attention was given to the custom designed pivot elements that organize the open plan into different settings. A granite high bar countertop, three extra-large marble center tables and a hovering fireplace create a sequence of interrelated atmospheres. Each of them was conceived as a strong monolithic element that calls for a spontaneous floating circulation around it. In this way, the former fireplace was detached from the wall becoming a singular free-standing piece.  Image Courtesy © José Hevia

Article source: RAD+ar Bernaung means the act of sheltering, the very DNA that was imprinted within tropical belt inhabitant, long before we embraced the concept of a house. The name emphasizes of how easy it were to live in tropics, that reaching sustainability is nothing but to achieve comfort with the least energy required. Design was to rearrange all of user’s activity during the day, and cycle it into as a loop within a giant roof hovering above it. Atrium as the center of the houses acted both as visual direction and wind chimney to ensure cross and stacked effect for natural ventilation.  Image Courtesy © William Sutanto

Article source: Shay Cleary Architects The landmark EXO building by Shay Cleary Architects is the tallest commercial office building in Ireland. A unique engineering challenge, the building features a distinctive and highly innovative external exo-skeleton which forms the main structure, leaving a predominantly column free floor plate and referencing the iconic blue gantries of the Dublin docklands. The building features an extensive 1,000m2 landscaped roof garden to which all tenants have access. Its pristine form responds to its unique location adjacent to the 3Arena, extending the public realm at ground floor under and around the structure. A highly sustainable commercial development, it was the first building project in Europe to achieve LEED V3 Platinum certification ahead of practical completion.  Image Courtesy © Jamie Hackett

Article source: Visual Display S.r.l. A room overlooking the town square, that’s totally redesigned by the creative studio Visual Display [interior, identity, stories] to transform the previous tavern into the new entrance of the 2 Michelin stars restaurant “Agli Amici 1887” in Udine. The space turns into a place to enjoy a welcome aperitif, fully becoming part of the proposed gastronomic experience, indeed anticipating it. The concept was therefore born with the idea of making this space – which is in fact the customer’s first approach to the kitchen and the philosophy of chef Emanuele Scarello – a place suspended in time, silent, surprising, and representative of the very essence of the restaurant.

Article source: MRDK When a young family of 3 found out they were soon going to be 4, they decided that it was time to look for a bigger home. They fell in love with the charm of a house on Montreal’s south shore designed by the architect Frank McGrath in 1981 but after 40 years of wear and tear, it was in need of a major renovation. They approached MRDK whose sensibility to detail and nostalgia would be a good fit for their renovation.  Image Courtesy © David Dworkind
