Article source: Kokaistudios Kokaistudios’ recently completed architectural renovation project of CITIC SQUARE shopping mall epitomizes Shanghai’s inherent duality. With a futuristic aesthetic combining multimedia elements and some of today’s most sought-after brands, it sits seamlessly alongside one of the city’s best-preserved examples of traditional, historic lane housing. Located in Jingan district on main thoroughfare Nanjing West Road, the transformed building’s pixel-inspired facade and carefully selected materials break the traditional ‘box’ shape to blur the boundaries between city and mall, public and private.

Article source: Rafael Pinoti Arquitetura Entering the condominium, we cross completely until we reach the last and highest block, where from afar we can already see two cold and symmetrical volumes, embraced, unified by a free floating and expressive marquise, an architecture with a timeless characteristic. What instigated the creation of this project was the great challenge of designing a residence in detached lots, without being able to unify and work with looser regulations. Even so, we reached an interesting and simple solution. Having as a frontal view two blocks, named after studies of insulation and thermal comfort as intimate on the left and right social sides.

Article source: Daniel Michaeli When the property owner is a prominent figure in the construction industry, and his partner has exquisite taste, it is no surprise that the results would be breathtaking: unique details, unusual materials and special elements work together in harmony creating a living experience with an undeniable wow factor. Years after moving to a private property, located in a pastoral and prestigious neighborhood, the owners decided the time was right to give the property a complete facelift: “The owners are remarried. They each have one child from a previous marriage and two joint children”, says interior designer Daniel Michaeli. “They moved into the property, built in the 1980s, about a decade ago as an extended family”, he adds.

This approach restores the historic background of modern districts and enhances place identity. Riverport, a new housing estate under construction in Tyumen, is a vivid example of this trend. Located in the former river port, which marked the history of Siberian steam navigation in the late 19th century, the estate will comprise a total of 15 houses. Public space development, along with the city waterfront revamp will be further endorsed by a multifunctional environment with shops, shopping malls, offices, coffee houses, and restaurants. The estate is due for completion in 2030.  Image Courtesy © Valery Nemirov

Brutalist yet Warm in HaSharon, Israel by Apple ArchitectsSeptember 25th, 2022 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Apple Architects The owners of this 800 sqm plot, hired the services of architect Eyal Apple to design a Modern home. Apple planned exposed open spaces with a large opening leading out to a big garden that can be seen from every corner in the house. Despite the use of concrete throughout the property, the outcome is warm and inviting. The construction of the property lasted 18 months. The 290 sqm property spreads across two levels with an additional 80 sqm basement level. The property was built as two cubes, the top cube in exposed concrete seems to almost hover above the ground level structure that was cladded in natural black stone. A long and narrow window separates between the levels and a vertical wooden slat panel provides the top-level bedrooms with privacy.  Image Courtesy © Elad Gonen

Article source: BAR ORIAN ARCHITECTS Bar Orian Architects, a leading international architecture firm based in Israel and established by Tal and Gidi Bar Orian in 1990, today officially announces its work for Villa Rothschild, an architectural marvel situated along Tel Aviv’s namesake Rothschild Boulevard. Villa Rothschild embodies the essence of modern architecture and urban design in Tel Aviv as a perfect example of how the past and present intertwine. The project’s two new buildings were designed as a reflection of one another and a juxtaposition to the Eclectic-era villa that is part of the city’s UNESCO World Heritage Site for Bauhaus architecture-style buildings and sits between the contemporary structures. Together, the three buildings create an additional and contemporary layer in the urban fabric of Tel Aviv, and an example of the architectural development of the city’s new class of residential offerings.
