Pearson Trent Residence

The remodel of a modest post war bungalow in the Mar Vista neighborhood of West Los Angeles engulfs the L shape plan of the original building with a new shell to form a large rectangular mass. The garage, a series of bedrooms along the north, and a massive wall on the south define an open living/dining/kitchen area sheltered by a single sloping roof. Covered space gradually expands horizontally and vertically to meet the easterly view of the city. A 26 foot long glass door disappears into a pocket, turning the living space into an expansive outdoor room facing the view. The exterior plaster finish, and grey quarry tile floor extend from the living areas out to patios, blurring the distinction of indoor and out. The handcrafted concrete b... Más

Aldilonda - Promenade over the sea

The path becomes the destinationSoft lines at the foot of the citadel in Bastia by Dietmar Feichtinger In Bastia, Corsica's second largest city on the north-east coast, Dietmar Feichtinger Architectes achieved the promenade Aldilonda, which means "Above the Sea" in Corsican with architects Buzzo Spinelli, Insitu landscape and the engineers of Sbp France. Anchored in the rock, Aldilonda follows the rocky coastline five meters above sea level. The rock forms the massive natural foundation of the mighty enclosing wall of Bastia's fortress, which gave the city its name. Until now, the rocky coast beneath the fortress wall was only partially accessible.  More than a path, a destination with new perspectives on the open sea, suspended bet... Más

Native vegetation plays a key role in the design of Cork Trees House

Reflecting the fundamental role that native vegetation played during the project development phase, this Portuguese home by TRAMA ARQUITETOS integrates its exterior surroundings with the interior environment in a powerful way. João Morgado Locating on steeply sloping terrain, the site features a grove of centuries-old oak trees on the lower part of the site. The concept for the design started with the idea that the house should line through with the canopy of the cork trees, in a way that suggests a garden floating on the horizon. João Morgado The house is thus designed as a functional single floor in plan and occupies nearly the entire width of the plot. In addition to its strong connection to the surrounding oak... Más

CORTEN HOUSE

With an “L” design and overlapping volumes, forming voids, and apparently loose from the floor, it brings lightness to the ensemble and visual integration between the intimate (upper floor) and social (ground floor) areas, the one facing the pool, which has covered free space. The contrast between corten steel and exposed concrete further highlights the volumes, while the large openings allow ample visualization of the surroundings, in addition to exploring natural lighting and ventilation.   Clients were mainly looking for comfort inside the house and that there were visuals for the green area located at the back of the residence. With an “L” design and overlapping volumes, Casa Corten forms voids and apparen... Más

Cork Trees House

We were approached by a young family, who has a close relationship with architecture, to develop a project that materialized the DNA of Trama Arquitetos. Furthermore, in addition to a harmonious design, the project should focus on the space details. The intention was to surprise, to integrate the exterior surroundings with the interior environment, to merge spaces and create sensations, without discouraging functionality.   CORK TREES HOUSE. The name of the house reflects the fundamental role that the native vegetation played during the project development. The terrain, on a steep slope, is composed of a grove of centuries-old cork oak trees, located on the lowest level. In this context, the house was designed to enjoy the best sun e... Más

Schnabel Family Retreat

La Residencia Pequeña Toscana se centra en la idea de la reagrupación familiar. La joven familia de cinco miembros destacó su deseo de crear un hogar destinado a ser disfrutado por la familia ampliada y los amigos, ahora y en las generaciones venideras.

In Praise of Shadows – The Corten house

La mashrabiya está hecha de tablones de acero corten, lo que dio nombre a la casa corten. Realizada al estilo de la mashrabiya, diseñada para engañar, ocultar y confundir, se utiliza como medio para oscurecer al protagonista de la historia, situado en la fina línea entre la escultura moderna y la arquitectura, lo desconocido, el vacío.   La escultura modernista no es un impulso infantil de observar un objeto bello, sino el deseo de experimentar la expansión y el refuerzo. Esto es lo que permite que el espacio se convierta en una entidad independiente.   A ambos lados de un espacio vacío se encuentran los dormitorios, la cocina y las demás estancias de la casa; las dimensi...

Molenstraat Zundert

The Cultural Pillars of Zundert The Molenstraat is the main street of Zundert. It has had a very high traffic pressure for years and therefore a minimal of spatial quality. The recent construction of the ring road has reduced car and truck traffic in Molenstraat. [Delacourt] [vanbeek] was asked to translate this traffic engineering design into a spatial design for the Molenstraat and three adjacent squares. The explicit question was to increase the visibility in public space of the cultural pillars - the flower parade, Vincent van Gogh and the arboriculture sector.   Planters for the arboriculture sector The Molenstraat is now designed as a bicycle street. The sidewalks are on level with the roadway and are separated by a simple d... Más

Gasfabriek Campus

80 Atlantic

Ontario’s first mass timber commercial building in over a hundred years, 80 Atlantic pioneers a new urban office typology for potentially many more timber frame projects across the province. Designed by BDP Quadrangle for Hullmark, with partner BentallGreenOak on behalf of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, the new, 90,000-square-foot, five-storey building completes a courtyard with 60 Atlantic (also realised by BDP Quadrangle and Hullmark) to create a paired commercial development. Hullmark requested that the building harmonize with the Liberty Village neighbourhood, noted for its wealth of converted factories and warehouses, and that it would attract high calibre, creative class tenants.

IMC Headquater

(Introduction) At first glance the new IMC headquarter appears approachable and inviting to public with a grand plaza leading perception into the state-of-the-art auto museum where guests enjoy a tour during visiting the head office. The new headquarter is derived in the middle area of Bangkok’s business district devoting itself partially as an open space for the town.  (Overall) The 9,000-square-meter building stands in a juxtaposition to serene array of the off-form concrete façade on the 5-storey office portion, in contrast with, corten steel wrapping around the museum event portion. Designer brings automobile curve outline into a façade pattern enhanced dynamic expose. 2 portions are bridged by an open space... Más

Better Place Forests

Located on the crest of a wooded rise, framing a view towards the meadow below, the visitor center for Better Place Forests in Point Arena, California marks the threshold of the visitors’ journey into the forest’s memorial groves. Better Places Forests offers a sustainable alternative to cemeteries. Within these protected forests, families choose trees to mark the place where they’ll spread their loved ones’ ashes over generations. The concept has simple poetry—merging ritual, memorial, and forest conservation—yet its realization involved a large team of design and technical specialists, led by Fletcher Studio, landscape architects. Located on a 40-acre stretch of the Mendocino Coast, Better Place Forest... Más
