Article source: Square Feet Architects This small townhouse located in the Belsize Village Conservation area felt dark and cramped. By relocating the location of the kitchen from the front of the house to the middle and replacing a very tired single glazed conservatory with a glass box extension at the rear, this home became a lighter, brighter version of itself. With a love of the pared back Scandinavian style décor, clients painted everything white including the internal brickwork and continued the white theme into the kitchen and utility, creating a space flooded with natural light. A traditional Scandi style woodburner in the open plan living area, creates a focal point for the new layout which is perfect for socialising and relaxing.  Image Courtesy © Square Feet Architects

Article source: Prevalent Âpé Yakitori Bar attempts to provide authenticity to a standardised, early 2000’s tenancy shell, a prevalent and often challenging typology that today dominates our cities. Yakitori, literally translated as grilled bird, remains one of the most traditional and efficient practices of cooking. Each individual part of the chicken, or animal, or vegetable (in its modern interpretation) is utilised, from the heart to the thigh, liver and neck. It is the act of deconstruction to base constituent parts without wastage.  Image Courtesy © Jan Vranovský

Article source: MFOLM Arquitectos The project is located in a suburban neighborhood in Mendoza province, Argentina. The program considers the design of two houses for two young sisters on a plot of irregular morphology. The proposals had to be harmonious with each other, as well as unique since each of them had to respond to the desires, needs, and different materialities required.  Image Courtesy © Luis Abba

Article source: OMA Greenpoint lies at the northernmost tip of Brooklyn where Newtown Creek meets the East River. The neighborhood sometimes called “Little Poland” has historically consisted of low-rise townhouses with industry at its waterfront edges. The industrial border, which included shipbuilding, rope-making, and more toxic activities such as petroleum refinement, cut the neighborhood off from the East River.  Image Courtesy © Jason O_Rear

Article source: A8000 The design of the reconstruction and extension of Pavilion Z is based on the original shape of the building. It consisted of three increasing blocks, where the smallest one is near the ground and the volume increases and gets heavier towards the top. The A8000 studio, however, builds on it seamlessly. The inspiration for the reconstruction was a plant motif and the process of bonsai breeding. In the same way that a carefully selected portion of the leaves is cut from the plant to achieve a new airy and original look, the architects stripped away the individual period deposits and random layers that were not conducive to the building’s appearance. Parts of the original mass are removed – glazed to give the final effect an airy and elegant appearance. The original pavilion has been stripped to the bone. The exposed steel skeleton is newly admitted and elevated to the initial principle of the interior.  Image Courtesy © Ondřej Bouška

Article source: Neri&Hu Design and Research Office The traditional Chinese courtyard house or siheyuan is a typology well-known for its illustration of Confucian ideals, accommodating extended family units wherein many generations live under one roof. To live under the same roof means to live together, and this metaphor is the nexus that ties the notion of community, especially in an intimate context, to the form crafted for this project. For this private residence commission, Neri&Hu are given a set of unique requests by the client: the new house constructed in place of the previous one should accommodate all three siblings, who as adults have outgrown their shared house; it should include a small memorial space in the form of a garden for their late mother; lastly, the new construction should retain the memory of the pitched-roof form, a defining feature of their childhood home. The previous house was built in the style of the British colonial bungalow, with hybrid elements of traditional Malay houses such as deep roof eaves for rain sheltering, as well as Victorian details. Understanding the functional importance of the roof and the client’s emotional attachment to its form, Neri&Hu embrace the symbolic nature of the pitched roof and combine it with a reinterpretation of the courtyard house.

Article source: align align has completed the design of a 25,000 sq ft space on the 4th floor of the Adelphi Building on John Adam Street in London’s west end for The Economist Group, enabling all the group’s London staff to be integrated into the same office for the first time in several years. Whilst The Economist newspaper’s editorial team first moved to the John Adam Street building five years ago, its commercial teams and the group’s other businesses – around 530 people in total, incorporating job functions from events, marketing, editorial and legal to HR, technology and finance, as well as the group’s charitable educational foundation – continued to be housed in a separate office in Canary Wharf.

Article source: Office Studio AG Architects Amanda Castro and Giovana Giosa, from Studio AG, carried out a complete renovation of this 350m² duplex penthouse, located in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The clients, a young couple from Rio de Janeiro, wanted to bring a bit of the Carioca soul to this apartment, something authentic and different from the wooden paneling throughout the apartment. To meet these expectations, translucent and rhythmic wood and glass surfaces were created, combined with white wall plans, without losing warmth and personality.  Image Courtesy © Fran Parente
