Sarang Nest House in West Jakarta, Indonesia by Realrich Architecture WorkshopDecember 22nd, 2022 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Realrich Architecture Workshop Located in a residential area, Taman Buana Permata house complex, Sarang Nest House design redefines house stereotypes and grew organically from the base to becoming, as a reaction to its environmental constraints. Sitting at the hook of the street, the building is facing west and south. The storeys are stacked in angles with protruded spaces enclosed by perforated wall to buffer the heat, either with traditional red bricks or metal screen that gives industrial look in contrast.

Article source: Neiheiser Argyros The grid house is about repetition and difference. A simple and regular concrete structural grid creates a variety of interior and exterior spaces with views across the Evoian Sea. The project is a full gut renovation of an existing modernist house that creates a 6 bedroom house tucked into the landscape, appearing modest from the entry but opening up its full width and height to the sea. At times the grid is infilled with brick to create enclosure and privacy. At other moments it contains full height wood-framed windows to orient views out into the garden and sea. In other locations the grid is left open, and creates exterior covered patios, balconies, and pergolas. The landscape is designed to wrap around the house and cascade in terraces down towards the sea.  Image Courtesy © Lorenzo Zandri

Article source: Malfinio We tailored this renovation of an apartment from the turn of the 19th century in Prague’s Bubeneč district to young clients with two, perhaps three little creatures. The clients, together with the space and place as such, were the primary source of inspiration – their requirements, lifestyle, and the feeling they evoke.  Image Courtesy © BoysPlayNice

Article source: No Architects The southern slopes of the first large suburb in the capital city of Prague have always attracted people to posh residential living. However, the romanticizing delirium of typical construction with steep roofs, ostentatious stone soffits and superfluous brick cladding used to be a laughing stock for modernist architects in their time, who dreamed of strip windows, flat roofs and central heating. Many prophets of the glorious industrial world did not give them hope for more than a generation.  Image Courtesy © Studio Flusser

Article source: Araiz Floristán Arquitectos The project involves the renovation of an indoor swimming pool and the extension of this building by a linear volume in which the current 25-metre pool, an activity pool and, in a separate space in visual continuity with the first, hydromassage and contrast pools are located. This last space is completed by an area where sauna and steam bath cabins, showers and an ice fountain are situated.  Image Courtesy © Pedro Pegenaute
Brunofierro House in Sant Pere de Ribes, Spain by Taller PontiDecember 19th, 2022 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Taller Ponti It is a row house built in the early 90s. It is located in Sant Pere de Ribes, a village 50 kilometers south of Barcelona. It was large but dense, as it corresponds to the type of middle-class housing of the time. It was not a dark house, but it was in semi-darkness. To optimize the number of floors, the slabs leave a very tight clear height of just 255cm. There are four floors: one with a parking area (at street level), a ground floor (at the level of a rear public garden), a first floor and an attic. The house is well located, in the upper part of the village.  Image Courtesy © Taller Ponti

Article source: Shire Space Research For the construction, we chose a strict, respectful archetype shape of the house that was already there before our intervention. However, the expression of the house takes on radical and strict shapes in our design. The choice of materials and colors is provocatively solved in a contrasting design. On the facade there is black plaster, on the roof there is black corrugated roofing.  Image Courtesy © Tomáš Slavík

Article source: Shire Space Research Compared to previous photography studios that featured a blank-space setting to adapt to every-changing market trends, photographers nowadays tend to have a workspace that highlights personality. Recently, design practice Shire Space Research conceived a workspace for photography studio Damon. Instead of following trends, this space conveys the studio’s unique character. The major challenge and breakthrough of the design is the creation of spatial scenes and atmosphere.  Image Courtesy © Yuuuunstudio

Article source: Parada Cantilo Estudio The longitudinal house located in the “La Cañada” neighborhood of the City Bell town arises as a consequence of the analysis of the conditions and the program needed by the principal. The main feature of the site is a steep slope towards the stream, which resulted in the idea of creating a wagon-shaped house suspended on stilts without altering the topography of the lot, taking advantage of the natural drainage and avoiding leveling that required large amounts of land.

Article source: Kirsten Johnstone Architecture Rammed earth, concrete and timber are celebrated design heroes at this newly built house in Blackburn. The site presented interesting design challenges due to its location within a Significant Landscape Overlay in a unique urban pocket of Melbourne. Our response was driven by a focus on family living and the use of sustainable materials. Australian timbers were applied throughout the home, whilst rammed earth blade walls form deep reveals to create protected interior living spaces without compromising access to natural light. These walls offer further protection from the western sun due to the inherent thermal mass properties of rammed earth, along with the burnished concrete slab.  Image Courtesy © Tatjana Plitt
