The Motlow House at the Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee by Clickspring Design

Tuesday, January 29th, 2019

Article source: Clickspring Design

A crown jewel of the Jack Daniel Distillery grounds, the house (one of the first buildings seen by visitors approaching Lynchburg) was originally commissioned by Lem Motlow, second in a line of proprietors who have consistently delivered the best Tennessee whiskeys available.

With a keen sensitivity to the history of this 1930’s Georgian home and its role at the distillery, the reconstruction maintains the residential scale and character of Lem’s original creation. This was accomplished through careful reinvention of the interior to bring together local Jack Daniel’s hosts and enthusiasts from near and far in an environment that immerses guests in the unique form of hospitality that the brand is so well known for.

It anchors a university hospital bus network, serves as an interchange and transfer point for the city’s transit, and provides a stop for regional express bus service between Omaha and Chicago. Not only does the facility promote several modes of transportation, increase bus ridership, andw support convenient earth-friendly transportation, it also addresses physical connectivity of the “last mile” for those who use a combination of transportation methods.

61st Street Townhouse in New York by TRA Studio

Friday, January 25th, 2019

Article source: TRA Studio

This turn of the century, four-story brick townhouse with an exceedingly rare two-story rear carriage house, is not landmarked; at first the townhouse seemed to be in a mediocre preserved condition, but a closer investigation revealed that both buildings had lost most of their original details, in fact, the carriage house façade was nothing more than a plywood painted mask that created three arched openings, clearly too small for any stable. The project offered the unique opportunity to rethink what had become two separate mixed use, heavily altered buildings, into a single, unique, private complex The project makes the most of the unique conditions, enhancing all of the characteristics that make “townhouse” living desirable, without the downsides inherent to the compact size, on the interior the final result is completely unexpected in a 20’ wide structure, the spaces feel wider and luminous, comfortably equipped by amenities rarely found in townhouses, such as concealed storage and an elevator.

TriBeCa TownLofts in New York by TRA Studio

Thursday, January 24th, 2019

Article source: TRA Studio

This diminutive structure, with only a 25’ by 50’floor-plate, is the smallest we have been working with over the many projects we completed in SoHo and Tribeca. The structure, located outside the Tribeca Landmark District, it is kind of a hybrid between a loft building and a townhouse, which made the shift between typologies a natural one.

Outlier Lofts in Boston, Massachusetts by French 2D

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2019

Article source: French 2D 

Outlier Lofts, designed by Bostonbased architecture firm French 2D, is a renovation that addresses the site’s many historical layers. Sited on an urban corner in the neighborhood of Charlestown, the existing structure underwent a series of reorientations, a history that French 2D threads into the new design, considering the way its three sides operate as both ‘backs’ and ‘fronts’ of the building.

Harvard HouseZero in Cambridge, Massachusetts by Snøhetta

Friday, January 18th, 2019

Article source: Snøhetta

The Harvard Center for Green Buildings and Cities (CGBC) at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) announced today the completion of HouseZero, the retrofitting of its headquarters in a pre-1940s building in Cambridge into an ambitious living-laboratory and an energy-positive prototype for ultra-efficiency that will help us to understand buildings in new ways. The design of HouseZero has been driven by radically ambitious performance targets from the outset, including nearly zero energy for heating and cooling, zero electric lighting during the day, operating with 100 percent natural ventilation, and producing zero carbon emissions. The building is intended to produce more energy over its lifetime than was used to renovate it and throughout its subsequent operation. Snøhetta was the project’s lead architect and Skanska Teknikk Norway was the lead energy engineer.

Beverly Center Renovation in Los Angeles, California by Studio Fuksas

Thursday, January 10th, 2019

Article source: Studio Fuksas

Roma-based architectural and urban design firm Studio Fuksas, led by Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas, was selected as the design architect for the reimagination of the 886,000 sq. ft. Beverly Center in Los Angeles, California.

Thirty-four months of construction and five hundred million dollars later a reimagined Center was officially unveiled on November 2, 2018. The mall, a monolithic eight-story structure located at the edge of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, now boosts a new glimmering white skin made of a highly textured stucco surmounting a metal mesh which changes transparency through the day and according to the viewer’s vantage point.
