Article source: De Baes Architects Turning a crumbling structure into a high-performing and sustainable residential building that saves 72,000kWh of electricity a year. More than half a century after a construction boom replaced the ornate Belle Epoque homes along Kokke’s coastline, the area is now filled with outdated, functionalist structures nearing the end of their lifespans. The West Side Residence was one such example. This post-war structure of little architectural value was crumbling and either needed to be repaired or demolished and replaced. The problem was deciding which. Some owners wanted to keep their apartments, while others wanted new, up-to-date homes.  Image Courtesy © Frans Parthesius

Article source: V2COM The CASAMIRADOR Savassi residential building, completed in 2021, is located in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, and features boldly designed architecture that stands out in the local landscape. The building has 14 lofts and 24 studios, and is spread over nine floors in a construction located on a narrow lot, with a width of 12.7 meters. The challenge of its volumetric mathematics, to respect distances, was one of the factors that influenced non-obvious decisions resulting in architecture created with its own identity.

Article source: Tiago do Vale Architects Saint Sebastian Street is a singular artery in the urban History of Braga. Its layout coincides with the Decumanus Maximus of the roman Braga, rising from west to east towards the Forum, and it’s the final leg of both the Via XX (connecting Astorga to Braga partially by sea) and the Via XVI (connecting Lisbon to Braga by land). In consequence, this is an area of high archeological sensitivity.  Image Courtesy © João Morgado

Neither garden fencing nor plants should delineathe the perimeter border and restrict the openness of the landscape.  Image Courtesy © Architekturfotograf Rasmus Norlander, Zürich

Article source: elton_leniz arquitectos The design of this single-family house is part of a private condominium of two-family groups that together developed an urban division of 17 plots of land of between 650- 750 m2. Each family could develop their own project within the framework of the condominium regulations. Four families (all young) entrusted us with their projects. Although the programs had many similarities in the description of the enclosures and their relationships, it was the identity of their imaginaries where the most radical differences appeared.

Article source: Yutaka Yoshida Archtect & Associates The site is located in a dense neighborhood of low-rise postwar houses, a short distance from the streetcar line that connects central Hiroshima to the Port of Hiroshima. The site, where the client was born and raised, originally consisted of a two-story wooden house that had been extended and reconstructed to fill the entire site, in close proximity to an adjacent house. For the reconstruction, the design direction was set to actively create an exterior space in the densely populated surrounding environment, and to realize a rich, expansive, and continuous living space to the exterior.

Article source: Square Feet Architects REGENERATION OF AN OLD SHOE FACTORY INTO 3 MEWS HOUSES AND 6 FLATS Initially gaining ‘change of use’ of this property, held in a family portfolio for many years, via a ‘permitted development’ application, then applying for the vertical extension of the central block, we managed to put a scheme together for 9 units – 3 mews-type houses and 6 flats. Working with the existing fabric of an industrial brick, we propose new elements in black timber and zinc. The development is highly insulated and has excellent environmental credentials. All the units are arranged around a communal courtyard, and backs onto a local park, so giving plenty of light and pleasant leafy views.  Image Courtesy © Square Feet Architects
