Christchurch Justice and Emergency Services Precin

The Christchurch Justice and Emergency Services Precinct (CJESP) is the largest combined facility of its kind in Australasia, and the first major public development built by the New Zealand Government following the devastating 2010 and 2011 earthquakes. The Precinct, commissioned as a key project to accelerate the reinvigoration and revitalisation program within the city’s devastated CBD, consolidated all justice and emergency services within a single purpose-built precinct made up of three elements; the Justice Building, the Emergency Services Building and a car park for operational vehicles. The 40,000m2 precinct was designed through a collaborative process between Warren and Mahony, WSP Opus Architecture and COX to house 19 multi... Mehr

Private Residence Cz

Partly restored, partially recovered, this ancient Neapolitan house overlooking the Gulf of Pozzuoli, boasts a breathtaking panorama, which frames an extremely contemporary but classic space at the same time. The white boiserie emphasize a recovered wooden floor, designed years before, and provide a neutral background for contemporary furnishings, with cool tones and refined finishes. The house enjoys some classic and timeless pieces, inherited from the family, such as the mahogany grand piano in the living area, or the entirely crystal dining table. The brass thresholds placed in correspondence with the main entrances of the house, represent the connection between the old and the new, and together with the accessories and lamps they embell...

WSECU Plaza

"Das Gebäude ist so konzipiert, dass es die einzigartigen Eigenschaften des kleinen, aber dennoch prominenten Ortes nutzt", so Brian Collins-Friedrichs, der für das Projekt hauptverantwortliche Bauherr. "Die Sensibilität in Bezug auf die Größe der Fußgänger, die Textur, die Materialien, die Transparenz und die öffentlichen Einrichtungen waren ausschlaggebend für das Design. Das Ziel war es, ein Gebäude zu schaffen, das sich als Teil seiner Nachbarschaft fühlt und das auch die Identität der WSECU prägt. Nicholas Worley // Hannah Rankin Die einfache, aber ausdrucksstarke Form des Gebäudes bezieht sich auf die bestehenden akademischen Backsteingebäude in der Nac... Mehr

Lone Pine

Das Lone Pine Gelände befindet sich am Fuße des Teton Range in einem Resort am Rande eines offenen Tals.  Das Haus ist so gelegen, dass es Freiflächen und Aussichtsschuppen nutzen kann. Es ist so ausgerichtet, dass es benachbarte Strukturen abschirmt und gleichzeitig die nahe Aussicht auf das angrenzende Skigebiet und die umliegenden Gebirgsketten nutzt. Matthew Millman Verankert durch zwei einfache, aber kühne landwirtschaftliche Volumen, die durch einen transparenten Verbinder miteinander verbunden sind, ist die Architektur als Abstraktion gängiger Ranchstrukturen konzipiert: reine Formen, die in einer Architektursprache artikuliert wurden, die die Masse durch Subtraktion manipuliert. Diese Herangehens... Mehr

Lake Point House

Das auf achtzehn Hektar gelegene Lake Point House dient als Rückzugsort, um eine aktive Familie mit der Natur und untereinander zu verbinden. Das Haus ist eine Interpretation der New Hampshire Lake Shore-Sprache und respektiert und ergänzt seinen Standort. Das Haus wurde so ausgerichtet, dass die Aussicht auf das Wasser optimiert wird, und es wurde so positioniert, dass Bäume und Standortmerkmale erhalten bleiben. Das sowohl außen als auch innen verwendete Naturholz, die Granitschornsteine, die Schichtung der Stahlsäulen mit dem Fenstersystem und die zum Wasser hin aufragenden Holzbalken spiegeln die Sensibilität für Kontext, Maßstab und Komposition wider. Joshua McHugh Eine Schlüsselfunk... Mehr

CASA GAS

The intervention consists in the renovation of an apartment overlooking the port of portofino.It consists of two levels not connected to each other: one on the ground floor in direct connection with the pier, used as a bedroom / warehouse and one on the first floor of the building, where the living space is developed with an open space system.   The biggest challenge of this project concerns the creation of a flexible and transformable space, able to adapt to different needs and functions, through the realization of concealed wooden panels.The entire project draws inspiration from the materials used in the boats, an element present in the port on which the building overlooks.   Material Used: 1. Mahogany Wood 2. Carrara Whit... Mehr

Victorian Square

The concept for Victorian Square is inspired by a nearby backcountry skiing haunt referred to by locals as “The Pillow Factory”. The highlight of this area is the countless snow-covered rock outcroppings (pillows) that gently step down the slope with skiers playfully bouncing down the terrain from one pillow to the next.  We sought to abstract the inherent qualities of a typical pillow where the snow is softly suspended over the mass of the rock, revealing the stratified lines of past snow falls. Peterson Cover Brick from Denmark represents the stationary mass of the rock outcropping.  These handmade bricks are detailed using a lapped siding technique with hidden fasteners, which recalls the many wood sided buildings...

Makani Eka

Auf einem verhärteten Lavastrom gelegen, mit Blick auf Himmel, Sonne und Wasser, schafft dieses Familienanwesen ein Gleichgewicht zwischen Moderne und Tradition.

Rosalie House

Rosalie House by Richard Kirk Architect (RKA) is located in one of Brisbane’s most established inner city suburbs. This 5-bedroom family home sits on a hillside among the peaks and gullies that characterises the suburb of Paddington.   Rosalie House has a solid base that rises up as a 3-storey lightweight structure. The exterior is predominantly recycled Tallowwood weatherboard and pre-weathered zinc cladding – KIRK’s interpretation of the timber and tin tradition that is prevalent in the area.   Sun-shading and privacy is achieved with operable timber screens and external venetian blinds that sit in front of a bespoke timber window joinery.   The planning of the house is organised to address the views...

Pullman Wine Bar

With Pullman Wine Bar & Merchant, David Machado Restaurants brings a new concept to Portland’s Lloyd District. Located in the southwest corner of the Hotel Eastlund, Pullman occupies a formerly empty retail space facing the Convention Center.

Pinecrest Residence

Taking advantage of the site’s oversized width, this home’s Architecture was conceived as a series of volumes strategically placed to generate interior and exterior courtyards that become focal points within the home. A large mahogany front door opens into a sitting area with high ceilings and a textured wallpaper accent wall.   Sliding glass doors connect the sitting area with a covered outdoor space and the backyard. A water feature with plant walls and hidden lighting creates a focal point. A large kitchen by Mia Cucina, with wood cabinets shares the space with a dining area. A large wood floor-to-ceiling open shelving unit in the hallway provides a place for the homeowners to show off their decorative items, while the... Mehr

Woods Hole Golf Club

Design details include reclaimed ‘ship’s knees” as braces in the dining area. The shingles on the roof will weather over time and become light gray, like the regional architectural style in the Cape Cod area.   The new clubhouse celebrates the past but looks to the future. The building addresses the site and presents a handsome profile atop the rolling hills overlooking Buzzard’s Bay. The approach has a low-key scale which then cascades down to the 18th hole and Buzzard’s Bay. The style reflects quintessential New England Cape Cod shingle style so it blends in historically. The functionality is efficient but low key.   A series of spaces that flow, and are dedicated to the game of golf relaxation... Mehr
