Music Guesthouse IKUHA (otoyado IKUHA) in Kyoto, Japan by ENDO SHOJIRO DESIGN +Tada Masaharu AtelierMarch 18th, 2019 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: SHOJIRO DESIGN +Tada Masaharu Atelier This building was a shop and a house with an frontage of 2.7 m and a depth of 11.7 m. We renovated this to the guest house. First of all, in order to eliminate the psychological feeling of pressure due to the narrowness of this width, we left all of the third floor leaving the structure.

Taiwan National Archive in New Taipei City by mecanoo architectenMarch 18th, 2019 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: mecanoo architecten Timeless architecture is the philosophy of Mecanoo & MAYU’s design for the National Taiwanese Archive: a building that hosts the memory and the collective identity. The National Archives building is composed of two volumes: one that extends horizontally, forming a large canopy, protecting the ground floor, establishing the relation interior-exterior; the other, a perfect cube, landed on top of the horizontal volume. Following its clear shape, the building is also organized in two zones: the public and the restrict access areas. The public zone is located in the east part of the site, connected to Wenhuayi road, while the restrict access area is organized on the west part.  Image Courtesy © mecanoo architecten

Article source: BENT Architecture This project is a renovation and extension of a semi-detached Edwardian family home in Fitzroy North. The living areas were extended and re-configured to take advantage of the abundant natural light offered by the site’s northerly aspect. A courtyard at the junction of the old and new parts of the house ensures that daylight infiltrates deep into the house. Large glazed doors and windows create a fluid connection between internal and external spaces. This relationship is further enhanced by a continuity between internal and external building elements and materials. Ceilings flow outward to form external eaves and the conversation that is established externally between the natural timber elements and dark cladding is echoed in the internal material palette. The ceiling over the dining area offers a dramatic shift in height, providing spatial clarity in an otherwise open plan living area.  Image Courtesy © Tatjana Plitt

Article source: Studio MK27 With camouflaged openings C + C House greatly balances the notions of empty and full. Its plot, located in a leafy area in the city of São Paulo, is long and narrow with constructions on the sides, which guided the openings of the house to the front and the back. This solution was chosen not only to guarantee better use of the land but also to guarantee the views, the ventilation and insulation of the interior.  Image Courtesy © Fernando Guerra

Article source: Petr Stolín Architekt The new Kindergarten – Nová Ruda in Vratislavice nad Nisou – solves the need of the city district regarding its growing population, by providing educational spaces and a leisure area for children. The plot is the property of the city and was chosen as most suitable for the new housing development planned in the immediate vicinity and the new kindergarten. The site itself is still undeveloped and the larger part of the land is defined as public greenery. In the immediate vicinity there is a historic building, a secondary art school, and several patches of family houses, which as a whole, form a rather rural context.

Article source: Gianni Ranaulo Design The contemporary society understands the code of luxury represented by the black and white contrast. Hence, a place where luxury meets natural life and vernacular tradition, was the core idea throughout the design process of The Village – Outlet Shopping Center. Located at the gates of Lyon, in the heart of the 2nd tourist wealth of France, on the highway of winter sports, “The Village” represents an exceptional potential, able to accommodate a very large clientele. This architectural complex goes against the traditional pattern and creates a gable roof style cluster of elements, bringing about impressive visual impact. Based on the “harmonious unity of tradition, modernity, and function”, this project creates a brand new luxury lifestyle shopping experience.  Image Courtesy © Marjorie Bruyere

Article source: AIX Arkitekter A music workshop cloaked in shimmering gold glass that arouses curiosity and anticipation. Since 2003 we have been instrumental in development of the Royal College of Music (KMH) in Stockholm. The goal has been ambitious – to create the world’s most modern college of music. Along the way we have faced several challenges. Aside from overall high demands on tone control and noise insulation, the educational environment also contains public spaces for performances and experiences. From the exterior, the composition of the new buildings for the College of Music has been interwoven with the listed historic stable facility, creating an inviting whole that enriches both the activities within and the urban landscape. At the Royal College of Music, 21,600 square metres of musical experiences have taken shape and as of 2016 are part of the cultural scene in Stockholm, Sweden and Europe.

Article source: emerymcclure architecture Off a state highway along a “false” river, an oxbow lake made by the Mississippi, lies a narrow site which slopes to the water, shaded by a 100-year-old cypress tree. Descending the slope, a long skinny camp lies ready for summer weekends and fishing. In Louisiana, where the natural environment is volatile, wet, hot, humid, and extremely fragile, most buildings seek to resist these extreme conditions. Contrary to the conventional approach, GATOR House encourages interaction with Louisiana’s natural environment. Primarily, it creates human comfort in the seemingly uncomfortable and privileges social interaction in generous outdoor social living spaces. More porch than interior room, almost all occupancy happens under roof or in the shade of the tree. This includes living, dining, cooking, celebrating, and bathing. Using natural ventilation, fans, and deep shade, heat, humidity, and insects are controlled to establish human comfort outdoors. Secondly, it is raised above grade to protect from flooding and is made from materiality that does not rot, resists insects, can get wet, and be wiped down when it gets dirty.

Article source: nefa architects When you start a new project, you always try to make it as accurate as possible in the place and time. To do this, we usually do extensive research, we necessarily leave for a place and spend there a few days, “breathing” with local air. In the case of the VIP hall of the new Rostov airport, we stopped on the theme of the nature of the south of Russia, namely the beauty of the spring steppe, full of amazing flowers and herbs.
