Casa BE

Casa BE is home to a unique family; a project that the studio and client materialized after a process of permanent interaction and a very clear program: the kitchen should have a leading role; the room would enjoy independence, far from what happened in the area of fire and food; always social. This premises dictated the form: a body in the form of 'L', with the kitchen in the north, the room in the west and, among them, a garden that imposes its own rules, that steals the attention of those who just enters hall, located at the angle where both sides intersect, topped with a window of three-by-three meters. The garden is opposed to the closed and blunt façade, with a basement and gray painted fence, which closes completely to the we... Más

Mar Vista House

The Mar Vista house is the renovation of a 1953 bungalow in west Los Angeles. Located two miles inland from the ocean, the property sits at the end of a cul-de-sac within a larger suburban masterplan. Caption The client, owner of a boutique apparel store, wanted a home with a subdued contrast to the color and patterns found in her shops. In response, we explored an “all-white house.” This seemingly simple directive proved to be conceptually challenging given the context of the existing house. While it was almost entirely white to begin with - a trademark of similar homes that are hastily “upgraded” for appeal within the real estate market - it lacked the light, depth, detail, and comfort the owner sought. Na... Más

CJP House

#1_ SITIO El proyecto CJP se encuentra ubicado en un terreno de 500m2 en el departamento de Luján de Cuyo, en la provincia Mendoza, Argentina. El contexto inmediato se caracteriza por la baja densidad poblacional, ya que se encuentra en la periferia del tejido urbano consolidado de la ciudad. En los alrededores conviven pequeños barrios de viviendas unifamiliares con parcelas de viñedos y frutales. Debido a la escasa cantidad de construcciones en la zona y la baja altura de las mismas, desde el terreno se puede tener una imponente vista al oeste de las montañas mendocinas.   #2_ PROGRAMA Y TIPOLOGIA El programa de necesidades solicitado se desarrolla para una unidad de convivencia compuesta por dos adult...

Villa K

Design approach The design has been a collaboration between Marion Regitko Architects and UK based designers Soo Wilkinson & John Grant of Igloo Design. Their holistic approach to the interior and exterior spaces of the villa, along with the continuity of materials and finishes has resulted in a seamless flow throughout.  Fernando Alda Space Villa K is situated high in the hills above Mijas. The house itself is organized around a raised 'viewing platform' which is slightly pushed into the top of a hill. The design of the house is a response to both the plot and the amazing surrounding views. The plot is very steep, oriented to the south and to the west, with views of the sea and the Ronda mountain range. A lovely pine tree wo... Más

Villa F

Joanna Lavén y David Wahlgren colaboran en la casa familiar en el archipiélago de Estocolmo   En el mejor de los casos, cualquier pareja puede encontrar la renovación de su propia casa como una prueba. No es así para la diseñadora y decoradora de interiores sueca Joanna Lavén y su socio, el programador David Wahlgren, que han trabajado juntos con éxito para renovar su recién adquirida casa familiar cerca de Estocolmo. Fue particularmente fácil porque sus ideas estaban totalmente sincronizadas, y ya habían renovado varios apartamentos antiguos juntos antes de mudarse aquí. Tan armonioso, de hecho, que Wahlgren trabaja en todos los proyectos de Joanna Lav&eacu... Más

Maison Ave Courcelette

The main intention of the Maison Ave Courcelette project, located in the Outremont borough, was to improve the relationship of the interior spaces with the large exterior courtyard while highlighting elements dating from the original construction.   The living space has been generously opened to the outside so that the kitchen can be extended under a new canopy on the rear facade facing south. This canopy has a dual function as it reduces solar gain in summer while allowing occupants to enjoy a covered space. The new openings in the existing walls allow natural light to also diffuse into the central space of the house. The fluidity of the ground floor plan is enhanced by this light as well as by the sculptural articulation of the sta... Más

Cliff House

Nueva casa de 4 habitaciones con vistas a la costa en primera línea que se extiende desde Portsea hasta Lorne. El diseño envuelve el sitio, encerrando un patio central elevado y escalonado y una zona de piscina con vistas directas a través de la casa al horizonte del océano más allá. Al lado del océano, la casa se presenta como dos volúmenes apilados y alargados, uno enfundado en una fina piel de hormigón, y el otro en madera dura que se curte hasta un color plata pálido.   El hormigón envuelve la casa y la rodea, uniendo los volúmenes y abriéndose en varios puntos para revelar el funcionamiento interno de la casa. Dispuesto en tres niveles, la... Más

Warp Studio

A new type of office space by Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd. used by company members for various independent projects. Different office style was required for the design of the new business of the well known Japanese company. The space had to differ from the usual office space, where usual atmosphere would be for the people to work at their desk. In the context of several projects and group of people working together at the same time, the aim was to make people from different teams feel like sharing a single space. The entire office is a large open space with a large sunken sofa area that is positioned in the center, where the workers can spend their time as they like and work as they prefer - either on the large sofa, desk area or corner coffee...

Gerard Resort Modern

Entering the courtyard via the driveway, the pool is mostly hidden from view due to a masonry screen wall that doubles as a water feature wall (showcasing fifteen, Randy Angell Designs custom fabricated stainless steel water scuppers) and as a two-way linear fireplace. The fireplace feature is protected from the wind on the driveway side by an acrylic shield, making the fire enjoayble while sitting in the raised, perimeter overflow spa on the opposite side.  Hartstone Tile concrete pavers, wrapped and separated by lush, synthetic turf, lead you around the ledger-stone clad feature wall to the pool area.  Looking across the polished Primerastone finished pool, you'll notice a raised "KnotWood" deck on the opposite side, complete w...

Pam & Paul's House

La casa flota en el dosel de un denso robledal en las estribaciones de las montañas de Santa Cruz, justo al oeste de Silicon Valley. La idea conceptual surgió clara y rápidamente: hacer flotar una caja de cristal en las hojas de los árboles en dos columnas parecidas a troncos con una mínima perturbación de los robles. El denso dosel de los árboles ofrece la oportunidad de construir una casa totalmente acristalada, protegida de la luz solar directa, pero llena de parches de luz.

Casa LLP

Frente a la puesta de sol en las llanuras del estado de São Paulo (Brasil) y con una vista privilegiada, la casa LLP, firmada por lb+mr, evoca la integración como punto principal del proyecto. Complementado por un terreno en pendiente que une el paisaje con las áreas comunes de la casa, la oficina propuso un vasto plan en el que los residentes podían contemplar la vista en diferentes momentos del día.   Las grandes aberturas promueven la iluminación natural y proporcionan confort ambiental y térmico. También crea una atmósfera única ligada a la contemplación de la naturaleza. Debido a la alta topografía del terreno, este paisaje se crea sin perder la... Más

The Kinii

El Ski-Lodge "The Kinii" ("el nido del halcón" si se interpreta desde el antiguo idioma nativo) representa una perfecta ejemplificación de la filosofía y la visión llevada a cabo por OBICUA, ya que reinterpreta el concepto de refugio de montaña en una clave contemporánea y ecológica. El proyecto está localizado a casi 3.000 metros sobre el nivel del mar, exactamente en la Montaña de la Pólvora, desde la cual es posible ver - gracias a una vista panorámica de 360° - hasta 3 estados americanos.   La capacidad de gozar plenamente de la belleza natural del lugar ha requerido que los arquitectos de OBICUA conciban y creen una apertura hacia el paisaje cuidado...
