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.

Summers soar almost upto 50 degrees and winters drop to zero degrees. The topography of the countryside is quite interesting.

Article source: Sim-Plex Design Studio 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.

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.

The house is comprised of a ground floor living level and garage with a bedroom level perched on top.

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.
