Bizhouse  “Live+Work Apartments”   “We successfully revitalised a Tong Lau into work-from-home units. The design allows users to work productively by day, and easily transform the space into a comfy home by night, whilst ensuring a spacious, elegant and simple feel.” - Kenny Kinugasa-Tsui, co-founder of Bean Buro   “Our concept was to create a calm ‘oasis’ in the busy urban fabric. We created white, simple and generous internal spaces in contrast with the buzzing and dense neighbourhood.” - Lorène Faure, founder of Bean Buro.” - Lorène Faure, co-founder of Bean Buro   The Brief: A revitalised building for contemporary Live+Work  The design b...

Le briefing de Morningside était direct : créer un foyer privé, comme une station balnéaire, pour un couple de professionnels. Deux formulaires simples reposent sans effort sur une fondation en béton, sur un site escarpé et étroit. Ces formes sont en contradiction avec un intérieur ouvert qui contient une grande quantité d'espace public divertissant et un espace privé intime, centré autour d'une terrasse de piscine privée. La structure joue un rôle clé, car la maison exprime la façon dont elle a été construite, et les matériaux ont été choisis pour leur durabilité et leur tactilité. Nous no... En savoir plus

The mixed-use eco-district “Cartoucherie Wood’art” ist built on a former industrial site on the left bank of the Garonne. Together with Seuil Architecture, we have built a complex with flats, shops and a hotel on a 13,000 m² site. On the edge of the public square and lined by the tram axis, the hotel tower sets a clear accent in the new district. Behind it, on the quieter west side, two residential complexes rise on a plinth with shops and public facilities. The lush green gardens on the roof of the plinth are visible from the square and provide common meeting spaces for the residents. They also form a reserve for biodiversity and limit the creation of heat islands. At ground level, a pedestrian street connects all th... En savoir plus

Located in an established neighborhood, the home is situated within a tight canopy of mature oak and beech trees and organized to take advantage of natural topography allowing living spaces to meet natural grade on two levels. To achieve the owners’ vision of a home equally suited for entertaining friends and relaxed living for family, this residence is designed with varied ceiling heights and room volumes that become more spacious in areas that open up to natural views. Guests are guided to the entry through a central treed courtyard, which uses lush native plantings to focus the core of the house to the inner beauty of the site. Living and sleeping spaces enjoy an added veil of privacy from a curtain of existing mature planting, di... En savoir plus

Located at the highpoint of a family ranch south of San Antonio, this home is designed to function as a stairway to the treetops. Elevating the primary living space above the dense surrounding woods will allow the family to enjoy abundant air, light, and uninterrupted views spanning 14 miles. Native stone walls ground the home to its site, provide structure for the lighter three-story steel and wood program above, and create entry and entertaining spaces. Guests arrive to a central dog run porch flanked on both sides by a natural courtyard that offers vertical circulation to living areas above. With two levels of living area above and a fourth floor perch that functions as an outdoor living room, each space captures a different experience... En savoir plus

The designs for two houses at Keala Ranch located in Kauai’s North Shore are directly influenced by the Hawaiian landscape, reflecting their place with pragmatic vernacular building systems partnered with the unique characteristics of each location. The houses are thoughtful of their presence within their natural context and neighboring developments, sitting lightly on the land to nestle into the environment, minimizing impact upon the existing greater landscape.  Utilizing innovative and sustainable building systems allows a high degree of craft while using minimal energy. Most importantly, buildings are oriented to celebrate the mild Hawaii climate with a one room wide approach to capture the prevailing breeze and facilitate c... En savoir plus

Set in New Delhi, A 39 is a contemporary dwelling, reflecting on the family legacy. The third-floor apartment is renovated, extended and punctured to connect with a timber cabin on the rooftop. This is flanked by the formal garden on one side and a water body with a fountain on the other. The client belongs to an old Rajasthani family with a lot of ancestral heirlooms such as art, artefacts, silverware, glassware etc.  The brief was to take the general theme of a typical builder apartment where materials that generally feel expensive and rich such as Italian marble are taken, but generally tend to hesitate around everything else. Thus, the design intent was to heighten and exaggerate such materials. Aranmula mirror, the traditional mir... En savoir plus

Boasting the moniker “the place where art is made” the RiNo art district was solidified in 2005 by a group of thriving local artists. With the recent influx of multifamily development, storefronts and amenities to the area, a new dialogue has emerged between the rugged, self made arts district and the new urban “hot spot”. Staring the possibility of transition in the face, two longtime artists and residents fought to protect the qualities of that cornerstone atmosphere.   Consisting of two single family homes and on-site gallery/workshop spaces, the RiNo Tandem project sets out with the intention to protect the existing neighborhood culture. Conceptualized as one vertical unit and one horizontal unit, both home... En savoir plus

During the 1950s, architect Roland Roessner was teaching at the University of Texas and designing some of Austin’s most daring modern structures. One of his more memorable houses, the Balcones Residence, is perched above a long, sloping hillside and notable for its prominently cantilevered concrete balcony. Located along Balcones Drive, the property backs up to Camp Mabry, an 85-acre historic military installation established in 1892. New owners purchased the home from the original owners, and though previously unacquainted with the period, delved into all things mid-century modern. They hired Clayton Korte to assist with a deliberate and sensitive renovation of this Austin treasure.   Roessner designed this modest home with cl... En savoir plus
