Highgate Family Home

La empresa XUL Architecture, con sede en el norte de Londres, renovó esta casa familiar en Highgate para permitir una mejor circulación y luz.   Esta casa familiar en Highgate tenía múltiples problemas de tráfico, con los diferentes niveles y espacios circulando de manera incómoda y desordenada. Al abordar estos problemas, XUL fue capaz de crear un espacio utilizable y lleno de luz. La clave para la renovación de esta propiedad era abrir las vistas desde la puerta principal al jardín, atrayendo la luz desde ambos ángulos. Una de las características de todos los proyectos de XUL es tener en cuenta las tres direcciones de la luz que pueden ser canalizadas en el edifi... Más

Braamcamp Apartment

Al principio, el proyecto consistia en una remodelación interior de un estúdio, construido en una cubierta de un edifício multifamiliar.   Cuando empezamos las demoliciones, descubrimos que el techo consistía en aumentos sucesivos de múltiples alturas y muy mala calidad técnica, y que las paredes exteriores no ofrecían aislamiento térmico.   Así, se llevó a cabo una remodelación completa externa e interna, como una nueva cubierta y estructura metálica.   Por ser un piso pequeño, se limitó la compartimentación à la habitación e el bañero. Una nueva cocina abierta a la sala de estar, há perm... Más

Apartment 308S

The refurbishment of this three bedroom apartment located in the “model superquadra” in Brasília*, has completely reconfigured the existing plan.

Avian Apartment

This project involved the refurbishment and redecoration of a prestigious private apartment in Brisbane, Australia. Located within an iconic Harry Seidler building, the refresh sought to extend and evolve the fluid form and function embedded in the architecture with a focus on art as an integrated expression of ingenuity. The client brief was to reimagine the apartment into a luxurious and impressive residence with a light and welcoming atmosphere within a moderate budget and timeframe. Laden with generic black and red furniture on a stark palette of finishes, the initial space felt cold and abrupt. There was no cohesion between the look, feel and function of the interior, which dramatically degraded the impact of the architecture. Whilst a... Más

Ex Tribunale

The Municipality of Bressanone (in the region Trentino Alto Adige, Italy) is gradually changing its skin.    This process has taken place for many years, with important private and public projects selected through international competitions. Those operations are both on small and large scale and involve several actors and different types of partnership. The quality of these projects is the same one that characterizes different aspects of this region, among them the contemporary architecture. A slow transformation is taking place also inside the city of Bressanone; moreover, it is working in a silent way, almost discreet, without revealing itself to whom is walking in the historical city centre.   This metamorphosis has in...

Malvern Residence

Esta completa renovación, ubicada en uno de los primeros proyectos de construcción de un comerciante, incluía una nueva cocina, dos dormitorios, dos baños, albornoces, una oficina y la distribución general del espacio. Todas las superficies, excepto el fantástico techo de madera, fueron renovadas. Aquí, nuestra intención de diseño fue decisiva desde el principio: tratar de ser tan amigable como el diseño original (¡lo cual no debe gustar a los 70!), mientras se actualiza el espacio para las necesidades actuales y futuras. Introdujimos texturas terrosas a través de una serie de nuevos materiales; se adoptó el exuberante verdor existente en el exterior,... Más
