Article source: Mecanoo The population of The Hague will grow considerably in the next twenty years from 525,000 residents to over 625,000. To meet this challenge, the municipality is encouraging inner city densification within the Central Innovation District (CID), a triangular area bound by the city’s three train stations. Densification will begin in three priority zones within the CID. These zones are clustered around the train stations, in accordance with the guidelines presented in the city’s 2018 high-rise report “Eyeline Skyline”. Movement Real Estate and the Van Deursen Group have taken the initiative to develop two residential towers with Mecanoo within one of these CID priority zones, a stone’s throw from Hollands Spoor Station and the centre of The Hague.

Article source: Diego Revollo Arquitetura A country retreat. That was the dream of the young couple with children, when back in 2019 they hired us to design their country house interiors. Long-time clients of our firm, they expressed their desire for a cosy space, which could offer the same amenities they have in their home in the city, but providing other sensory and aesthetic experiences, with a more direct interaction with nature. Due to the pandemic, this desire was strengthened and translated into the search for lightness and calmness in each one of the rooms. A neutral palette has then been adopted, dictating the décor of the entire residence. Avoiding any colourful element – in order not to compromise the peaceful aura that we intended to emphasize –, the design approach focused on exploring different forms, framings and plasticities, especially promoting the use of natural materials.

Article source: KLAR Located on the south edge of the Rybí village, Moravian-Silesian Region, the building site is marked out by the edge of the access road, the local stream and neighbouring property fencing. It is a sizeable plot of land, but with a significantly reduced buildable area. The shape of the future house is in fact largely predetermined by the minimum required setbacks from existing underground gas storage tanks and from the forest edge.  Image Courtesy © Václav Novák

Article source: Grupo Zegnea “I enter a building, see a room, and – in a fraction of a second – have this feeling about it.” – Peter Zumthor The goal was simple: to draw our own Home! This home would need to have the capacity to welcome us, answer our spatial needs, our functional requirements and be a lab of research, work and study. A living space, of familiarity and share. This space, Home, that welcomes us during the day, should promote an environment of its own, ours, and be the definer of our language, stimulating and sensitive, able to communicate with us and, which through, we communicate with each other. To express itself in a singular way, continuous and tangible, inciting our eyes to walk through it and interpreting it as a materialized poem, slowly declaiming its verses. The immersion in this, our, atmosphere, was the conducting wire for the thought and connection of this place, ours.  Image Courtesy © Grupo Zegnea

Article source: Raz Melamed The turquoise pool and the flora fluttering in the urban spirit turn this penthouse in Tel Aviv into a lovely corner overlooking a gray urban landscape, which sings out to the bustling city. The apartment was designed for a couple with 3 girls and a dog who wanted a house with a pool along with a large outdoor kitchen, a living area, and a jacuzzi for perfect accommodation. Within the home, the privacy of each room alongside discreet and personal bathrooms were a priority. Architect Raz Melamed took on the task and entered the project when the building was under construction. In collaboration with the building architect, structural changes were made to the columns and walls, including the unique aluminum design and the preparation of the infrastructure for it.

Article source: SODAA Kali is one of the largest settlements on the Adriatic islands located on the island of Ugljan near the city of Zadar, Croatia. The village is best known for fishing. The project brief was to design two vacation houses on one of the few vacant lots situated between two roads with a height difference of 21 m in the longitudinal section. The challenge was to design a unified space, which would fulfill a multitude of the contemporary user’s heterogeneous needs, and at the same time, to create the feeling of living „with the sea at the seaside“.

Article source: Terry &Terry Architecture The design consists of transforming a 1950’s existing Joseph Eichler home. Using a complimenting modern material palette, the design utilizes the primary floor plan, transforming the existing space and forming the new second floor by folding out a series of horizontal and vertical planes of the ground floor. The new roof form creates a large central area and links the bedroom wing with living area. Poured-inplace concrete masses are used to support the roofs, upper floor and cantilevered main stair landing.  Image Courtesy © Bruce Damonte

Article source: YCL studio The house with the round window is in a dense block of private houses in Vilnius. 182 square meters, two-story house with a small garage volume, which is an identical shape scaled to the appropriate size to fit one car. The key wish from the clients was to have a big common space not divided by stairs in any way. So we chose to move the stairs out of the main perimeter of the house. This idea creates an interesting shape that looks different as you walk around the house. The north part of the house with the stairs has just one round window. It reminds us of a newly built birdhouse that waits for its dwellers.  Image Courtesy © Norbert Tukaj
