EV Concept Store

The intervention concerns renovation and expansion by raising a building included in the detailed plan of private initiative. The building looks like the aggregate of several buildings that have stratified over time, mainly as a result of the succession of historical events including the bombings of the WW2. Fabio Bascetta Fabio Bascetta Fabio Bascetta The building is spread over four floors above ground in its highest portion and has an underground area in the part adjacent to the square that houses old arched cellars. The project’s main intent is the recovery of the existing building, also through its reintegration in the lively urban and social square that revolves around Piazza Italia, an important area of the hist...

Ironbound weathering steel corrosion-resistant cladding panels

Ironbound weathering steel is characterized by a matte surface, which reduces reflections that are typical of other metals and also reduces any unevenness of the surface .The patina developed over time gives weathering steel a distinguished, brass-like appearance. It is also a long lasting material that can be expected to last up to 100 years inland and up to 60 years in coastal areas.   Durability Weathering steel’s exceptional durability makes it a prime choice for architects, engineers, and builders seeking longevity in their projects. Its resistance to corrosion and weathering means that structures made from weathering steel are built to last, requiring minimal upkeep over time. This durability ensures that your project st... Más

SKATEPARK UNDER THE FABIANI BRIDGE

1. Previous state The site was a dead-end of space on the lower level of the Fabiani Bridge in Ljubljana. The bridge runs on two levels, with a four-lane motorway on the upper level, and a pedestrian bridge on the lower level. The structural characteristics of the bridge formed a pocket of unused, untraversed space under the bridge. Soon after the opening of the bridge, this space became a gathering spot for illegal drug use, homeless sleeping (despite a homeless shelter operating less than 100m away), and crime. Caption Miran Kambič The bridge was built in a gap formed by a partial demolition of the complex of the former sugar factory, called Cukrarna. This partial demolition of the factory complex was urbanistically necessary... Más

Bertarelli Concert Hall

The Forum Fondazione Bertarelli originates from a thorough study of the settlement models in the inland of the Maremma plains. This 300-seat concert hall has an organic shape, perfectly self-contained and within the golden ratio, whose proportions were designed for non-mechanical acoustic amplification. From a distance as well as from close range, the Forum is not perceived as a building. Being free of openings, its rugged concrete surface with the earth tones of cement is reminiscent of a mound and fortified by wavy oxidised iron plate, which it partially envelops. Going uphill through an olive grove along the iron wall supporting the volume of the hall, we enter the foyer, one dematerialized space flooded by light where the outside landsc... Más

stapelbeet

„What does a good product have to look like?- A product, that not only serves the users, but should also offer added value to the environment and the public. A product that makes sense, is as simple as possible, minimalist in design, helpful, individual, inspiring, ecologically sensible and durable?"   This was the question posed by the Berlin architect and designer Michael Hilgers, known for his multifunctional furniture designs.  Michael Hilgers / www.rephorm.de His idea: Stacked nature. Simple and self-explanatory.   stapelbeet is a planter element, that can be stacked, lined up and connected with other identical modules to create an infinite number of individual configurations.

Layer Cake House by Superhelix Pracownia Projektowa responds to site constraints with a creative distribution of programme and materials

At the outset of the design process for a new home on a site in Krakow, the client and property owner desired a California-inspired house, complete with largely horizontal planes, large expanses of glazing, and a flat roof. Given the small developable area of the site, however, the reality afforded something much different, making it necessary to build upwards rather than outwards. Further to this, local building laws required a pitched roof. Superhelix Pracownia Projektowa With a programme that required a full three floors in height given the restricted footprint, the response by architects Superhelix Pracownia Projektowa to the site constraints was to break the structure into layers: corten, plaster, then corten again with the i...

Memphremagog Lake House sources church architecture as inspiration

This contemporary home by architects naturehumaine is located on a steep site on the shores of Lake Memphremagog, Quebec. The wooded location is not far from the Franciscan monks’ abbey in St-Benoit-du-Lac. In addition to general architectural principles of church architecture, the nearby monastery and its latest addition by Dan Hanganu - with its large volumes, vertical proportions, neutral grey stone exterior and zenithal light - were sources of design inspiration. Adrien Wiliams The new build house comprises three volumes topped by sculptural roofs with a diagonal ridge. Polygonal skylights are inserted at each high/flat point of each ridge, providing natural light throughout the house. Adrien Wiliams   The exteri... Más

Corten clad home designed with green space in mind

The contrast between corten steel cladding and exposed concrete highlights the sleek volumes of this Brazilian home by ES Arquitetura. Taking an ‘L-shape’ form in plan, the overlapping volumes result in a visual lightness and integration between the private upper floor and the more social ground floor areas.  SLA PhotoStudio Functionality, as well as thermal, acoustic and visual comfort, were important aspects throughout the design process. In particular, ensuring visual connections from the interior of the house to the green space that surrounds were key.   SLA PhotoStudio   All areas of the house feature large openings that allow in natural light and ventilation, even in the service areas of the hou...

EPSILON Prague

Offices are often designed as open, lighted spaces complemented by natural light and materials. But in the case of Epsilon, it's a completely different story. There is enough light in all offices, but from the entrance you will be accompanied by a black technical ceiling, which passes through the black lacquered profiles of the glass partitions dividing the individual offices into a light gray uniform floor.   The color and material solution is minimalist, but it at the same time the interior is decent and brings a feeling of a privacy to the interior. In contrast to the dark ceiling and framing of the partitions, the furniture of the individual offices stands out. It is made from white laminate and designed in minimalist shapes to c... Más

The Feng Shui Stone House

In the area of ​​Apokoronas and more specifically at the village of Gavalochori, in an area outside the settlement with a slight slope, we designed and built a two-level house with a basement and a swimming pool. The house is 511m2 and the construction time is 2019-2020.  The central idea of ​​the house is based on the philosophy and principles of feng shui, as well as bioclimatic design. The central design is by four stone walls of different lengths which divide the house into three areas. Starting from the east ground floor, between the first two stone walls, we have the living room and the dining room and the office upstairs, looking at the double height of the living room. Three orthogonal frames of different shape and size made... Más

New Zubiaur School of Music a visual and spatial interplay between overlapping walls and existing building context

Javier de las Heras Sole has completed the New Zubiaur School of Music in Amorebeita-Extano, Spain. The design was submitted as part of a competition and envisages the school as an independent element to the adjoining cultural centre yet still in conversation with it. This was achieved by adding a new façade to the cultural centre’s dividing wall, effectively ‘freeing’ it by converting it from a shared entity to now a boundary delineating where the cultural centre’s perimeter ends and the music school begins.  Credit: Adrià Goula Simultaneously, the original wall of the adjoining ‘fronton’ (ballcourt) was retained and incorporated as the real ‘protagonist’ in the proje...

Revitalization Solms Castle

Solms CastleThe dukes of Solms-Lich erected Solms Castle in 1488, attaching it to the already existing city wall. It was originally made up of two halls, one located on the ground floor, the other one on the second floor. Besides the addition of a staircase in 1588, the castle underwent several other conversions, the biggest one being the reutilization as a district court at the turn of the last century. The native Hall had been destroyed regarding its function as a room.   RevitalizationThe main goal of revitalizing the castle was establishing a multifunctional structure, resulting in the attraction of many different tenants. To this date, the building is harboring a cultural hall inside of the medieval truss, a dental clinic on the... Más
