Morada Escondida (Hidden Dwelling) in Baja California Sur, Mexico by Taller de Terreno ArquitecturaNovember 6th, 2022 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Taller de Terreno Arquitectura The subterranean villa Morada Escondida, integrates into the Baja desert, along a natural arroyo, facilitating a naturally-climatized domestic environment. Emerging respectfully along a desert ridge, a planted roof welcomes the reintroduction of native species, further integrating the dwelling into a virgin desert landscape. Concrete mass is shaped to optimize cross ventilation, and being partially subterranean, provides diurnal cooling throughout the day. The penetrations and orientation capture steady flows of ocean breeze for cross ventilation, maintaining comfort year-round with no HVAC required.
Weekend Apartment in the Jizera Mountains, Czech Republic by Markéta Bromová architektiNovember 6th, 2022 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Markéta Bromová architekti The apartment is located in a new building in the Jizera Mountains. The apartment is on the ground floor of the house, so it is directly physically and visually connected to the surrounding landscape. The apartment is entered from the second floor through a small hallway, which connects to a double staircase. This path through the hallway and descending the stairs to the lower floor directly into the interior of the apartment can be seen as a kind of filter. You find yourself in a long corridor from which doors lead to individual bedrooms, a bathroom and separate toilet. The corridor also separates the apartment into two functional parts – technical facilities (bathrooms, toilet, sauna, kitchen) and living areas (bedrooms and living area).

Article source: Raul Garcia Studio Housing with an ‘L’-shaped floor plan that combines the refined lines of the white upper volume with sharp edges with the more compact volumes of the lower floor. The imposing cantilever generated by the parking area, the interior-exterior continuity that blurs the limits and the natural light that penetrates into the heart of the house through a skylight located in the double height next to the staircase stand out. The most notable element, however, is the splay that is generated in the main facade, framing the windows of the bedrooms on the upper floor, with a studied inclination for adequate solar control at different times of the year while achieving a imposing volume that rises above the pool.

Wide panoramic views of the slopes of the Carpathians and the north of Bratislava, dense vertical solar shading on the south side and longitudinal eastern and western façades of changing perforated geometry with irregular façade atriums with greenery bring refreshing change and authentic design to suburban generic urbanism. With its architectural, construction and technology solutions, GBC 5 strives to respond to all critical issues and new challenges of current design. Today, our latest experience with the global pandemic crisis and imminent climate change forces us to rethink architectural design and solve problems of cities and country development.

Article source: António Paulo Marques, Arquiteto e Associados, Lda This private initiative residential project is located next to the Circunvalação, on the northern edge of the city of Porto. The plot has a trapezoidal configuration and faces rua Nova do Rio. The building’s location in the center of the plot allowed openings to be created on all its facades. Using existing alignments in the surroundings, two volumes were proposed that establish a relationship of great proximity and tension with each other. Vertical communications and distribution spaces are located in the center, in the interstice formed by the two volumes. The access to the building converges to its center, this route is accentuated by the proximity and tension between the volumes The program organizes two T0 apartments and fourteen T1 apartments, spread over four floors. A basement floor was dedicated to parking. From the outside, the building’s facades are treated in a monochromatic light gray tone, which predominates in all its constructive elements. The windows obey to a random and dynamic matrix composition that at certain times breaks the corners of the volumes.
