Article source: Anastasia Arquitetos The IC Residence is located in the city of Lagoa Santa, Minas Gerais. The land, measuring 5,000 m², is a relatively gentle slope, where the street-facing facade faces east. Solar orientation was a determining factor for the implantation of the house, located in a very hot region, where sun protection is essential. As it is a weekend residence, leisure is a priority, special attention was given to the configuration of the outdoor spaces, and the way in which the architecture gives scale to these spaces. Although the plot is of considerable size, there is little residual space, most of the plot is usable. In this aspect, the interaction with the landscape project, by Luis Carlos Orsini, was fundamental.  Image Courtesy © Anastasia Arquitetos

The “BEN MOO Brand Exhibition Hall”, located on the fifth floor of Fusen-Noble House in Nanmen, is one of the latest works carefully planned and designed by Rene Liu and Jiajun Tang, the design directors of HDC Design. This exhibition hall is a brand-new design work created by the designers after carefully reading the series composition and development concept of BEN MOO products, together with the brand, using a restrained and spiritual design aesthetic. Therefore, in terms of functionality, aesthetic significance, and the sense of “communication” in contemporary commercial space, it has reached a high degree of fit.  Image Courtesy © Chuan He

Article source: L2C ARQUITETURA Designed for a family of five, the D house hides its structural complexity through its volumetric simplicity. Large boxes placed on the highest part of the land organize the interior and outdoor space through their layout and orientation. That way, the house opens up to the outside through the spaces generated between them, while protecting its interior from what doesn’t matter. With a view over the city of Braga, the D house opens onto the landscape and faces south/west from the exterior and interior leisure areas. If, on one hand, the boxes placed horizontally establish a relationship with the surroundings, extending the interior spaces to the outside, on the other hand, the entrance is marked by one of these boxes placed vertically that calls us to its interior and at the same time articulates the two floors of the house.

Article source: Anastasia Arquitetos Residence LF Santo André is located in Santo André, in the district of Santa Cruz Cabrália, Bahia, on a 20,000 m² terrain in Alameda do Araripe Condominium. The implantation of the residence was determined by the position of the terrain facing the beach. It is divided into 3 main blocks connected by covered, but open, circulations. Generous gardens separate them, transforming functional circulations into the enjoyment of nature.  Image Courtesy © Anastasia Arquitetos

Article source: SAW San Francisco-based Spiegel Aihara Workshop (SAW) has completed the transformative architectural and landscape design of a 1962 home in Mill Valley for a couple and their two young children. The project, known as The Middle Half, dramatically reconfigures the home’s core to create an open, light-flooded interior and direct connection to the landscape. Raw, textured materials like galvanized steel, rough-sawn cedar siding, and cast-in-place concrete define the project and accentuate its unexpected, layered geometries. “Often when thinking about preserving a thing a structure, an object, a landscape, a city one talks about preserving its ‘heart’ or it’s ‘core.’ But in this case it was the opposite we were trying to preserve the periphery, while completely reimagining the core,” says SAW co-principal Dan Spiegel.

Article source: Hito.lt A dredger-ship moored in Zapyškis (Kaunas district, Lithuania) can no longer be used for its intended purpose due to outdated technology that is harmful to the river ecosystem. The team’s goal here was to use it as an exhibit and at the same time create a space with a new function. Thus, the culture ship ‘Nemuno 7’ was born. It houses an interdisciplinary arts centre which offers exhibitions, a park on the water, artists’ residences and other cultural activities. The deck of the ship is planted with various types of pioneer plants. Their integration was one of the key elements of the ship’s transformation.  Image Courtesy © Hito.lt
Winery Přátelé Pavlova in Czech Republic by Atelier ŠtěpánDecember 5th, 2022 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Atelier Štěpán Winery Přátelé Pavlova (Friends of Pavlov) is located in a vineyard on the gentle north-eastern slope of the Pálava hills with a stunning view of the river Dyje valley and the Novomlýnské reservoirs. The landscape influences it. The building is horizontal, calm, flowing, like the surrounding vineyards. It blends in with the landscape, not drawing unnecessary attention to itself. At the same time, it is very rational in structure, inspired by the construction of simple barns. It uses a minimum of building materials and the possibility of building with local resources. It has the structure of the surrounding vineyards, their sun and shade.  Image Courtesy © BoysPlayNice

Article source: TwoBo A pharmaceutical company based in Sant Cugat wanted a project to connect diferent buildings together through their respective lower levels, in an attempt to transform this space into a Hall, a Foyer and an Auditorium. In architecture you often hear that an empty space should be defined by what’s built in it, nothing more, nothing less. The empty space was there, already built, naked… and we became tailors instead of architects. From the measurements of the naked body (waistline, hips, the way the shoulders fall down) a tailor reimagines the body in fabrics. Rediscovering it through imagination and covering it with tangible shapes, all in the same effort.  Image Courtesy © TwoBo
