Wraparound House in San Francisco, California by Spiegel Aihara Workshop

 
September 1st, 2022 by Sanjay Gangal

Article source: Spiegel Aihara Workshop

Spiegel Aihara Workshop (SAW), has designed Wraparound House, an expansive architectural renovation and landscape of a 1930s home in the Marina neighborhood, for a couple with three children. The family was looking for more space to accommodate indoor and outdoor activities for the kids, places to work and entertain, and views of the Bay. The project was also an opportunity to remediate and stabilize the land beneath the home, and for the architects, a conceptual reconsideration of the notion of groundedness through re-distributing the excavated ground vertically.

St Martha Bethany Vidyalaya- Phase 1 in Ludhiana, India by Kamat & Rozario Architecture

 
August 31st, 2022 by Sumit Singhal

Article source: Kamat & Rozario Architecture

The weather & topography of Punjab was unlike anything we had experienced before.

Weather-wise, it’s a land of extremes. Summers soar almost upto 50 degrees and winters drop to zero degrees.

The topography of the countryside is quite interesting. The settlements here are akin to a galaxy of dense clusters, created in order to stay clear of the cultivable land which is fertile and highly irrigated. This is one of the highest grain-yielding regions in the country.

Nourishing life With The Vibe Of Izakaya

In Japan, if you want to have a drink and meal, the best atmosphere is generally in an “izakaya”. Among most of them, the U-shaped izakaya can most highlight its characteristics: the chef or the boss is at the core of the layout, and the diners sit in the U-shaped bar table surrounding the center. Chef shows the freshness of the food and cooking skills in the centre, while diners dine and drink, ordering and getting the food with only one hand away, this is the closest communication between diners and diners, and between chef and diners. In recent years, there have also been Japanese dramas that use this type of U-shaped izakaya as the theme.

Park+Ride Antwerp in Belgium by HUB

Article source: HUB

The City of Antwerp wants to give mobility a more sustainable place in the city and the wider region. The development of a number of Park + Ride buildings is a crucial part of this initiative. As well as improving mobility, the city also seeks to lend a face to the access point to the Antwerp area. Consequently, the Park + Ride buildings are also public gateways through which people enter the region.

The Park + Ride challenge involves various forms of transition, on different scales. These transcend the space of the Park + Ride in itself but do need to be reflected afforded an identity within it.

SUNSET TERRACE in Laguna Beach, California by Martin Fenlon Architecture

Article source: Martin Fenlon Architecture

This 1,480 sf. house has been built on a lot of only 2,400 sf. in an area known as Sunset Terrace in Laguna Beach, California. It is anchored to the site by a helical form that allows the surrounding space, seemingly compressed, to pass through it.

The house is comprised of a ground floor living level and garage with a bedroom level perched on top. After a lengthy variance process, an existing masonry garage was incorporated into the design when permission to reuse it was granted by the city. There are roof decks on the second level where it is set back at the front and rear yards in accordance with the zoning requirements.

Veil house is a two-storey house of modest plans with ambitious social implications. The house follows a standard L shaped plan which upon closer inspection reveals layers of complexity. Rather than arranging the house along the site’s perimeter around a central court, and shunning the surroundings, it is encapsulated with gardens, which are not hidden away but is to be shared.

Poetry Wine (Pinyin translation: Shijiu), the name of this restaurant, means picking up the taste of the old days. When we think about the old taste, we may recall the taste of home where we spent our childhood, with chimney, leaky roof, sunlight, leaves, silhouette.

Sitting in a quiet area of the bustling Solana, Poetry Wine offers Beijing dishes with a modern twist, hides the taste of old Beijing in the delicacies made by the cooks, picking up all the forgotten curiosity, and awakening all rusty senses.
