Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble, France by Levitt Bernstein and TKMT architectesJanuary 4th, 2023 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Levitt Bernstein and TKMT architectes Levitt Bernstein and TKMT architectes designed a new visitor centre as part of the Institut Laue-Langevin campus in Grenoble, a pan-European initiative providing neutrons to visiting researchers for experiments and analysis at the molecular level. The new building will give access to the institute’s array of state-of-the-art equipment and provide scientists with a base for their work. Also included are new conference facilities, bookable lab space and healthcare support. Inspired by the nearby neutron accelerator, the design of the building takes its cues from specific scientific methods, while also creating highly functional, multipurpose spaces.

Article source: y.ad studio The project is located in Tuanshi Village, Xiaonanhai Town, which belongs to Longyou County, the city of Quzhou. It faces Qujiang River on the south, with G60 Shanghai-Kunming Expressway on the north side, and the Xihuxian Road passing nearby. Across the road from the site is the Qujiang River, providing a wide view of scenery. The project’s site was originally an elementary school, and later located the factory of an enterprise, with buildings in poor condition. The surrounding area is mainly occupied by waterfront residences of the villagers, and in the front of the site, a memorial archway of chastity and filial piety, built in Qing Dynasty in year 1790, has been preserved.

Article source: Olson Kundig This family retreat on Hawaii’s Big Island takes the form of several canopy-like pavilions dispersed around the site, linked by elevated wooden lanais and a series of gardens. Hale Lana, which translates to “floating home,” appears to hover over the site’s lava fields and dense gardens. The home takes a position at the ecotone line between the heavily landscaped area, and the expansive ocean views which stretch to Haleakalā volcano on nearby Maui. The ultimate design goal was to balance transparency and enclosure to create a home that would function for the couple, their extended family, and for large gatherings, while maximizing connection to the Hawaiian climate and landscape.

Article source: DESK architectes Located on Plaza Saint-Hubert, one of Montreal’s classic commercial strip, TUX’s new head offices reflect the dynamic and creative values of this marketing company. Two existing buildings were merged as one and, while TUX’s offices occupy a whole level, other uses have taken place in the building to create a mixed and diversified program. The project’s program includes a cafe on the ground floor, directly connected to the plaza through the front facade. As you move past the cafe, a photo studio and a cafeteria then follow and open to the rear alleyway. On the second floor, a vast and opened workspace is bathed in abundant natural light coming from skylights and large windows. Then, a third floor has been added to the structure to house a family in a large residential penthouse.

Article source: Shinsuke Fujii Architects We planned a three-story tenant building in a very small site with 28 m2. A landing for the stairs was created to match the deformed site, and the space was effectively used as a dining space with a counter. In addition, the space under the stairs was planned to be used as a toilet and storage for each tenant. The movement of people going up and down the stairs creates the façade of the building.
