L'appartamento si affaccia sul fiume Arno, con Pontevecchio subito a sinistra, e la Galleria degli Uffizi proprio di fronte.   Dalla sequenza delle vetrate, che si aprono sulla terrazza, e da tutte le altre finestre incorniciate, la vista sui monumenti più importanti di Firenze è accattivante. Con un solo sguardo si può percorrere l'intero corso dell'Arno. Questi scorci sono come una serie di "quadri", che diventano i veri protagonisti, e la disposizione e le finiture di questa casa sono state pensate intorno ad ognuno di essi, valorizzando il panorama.   Il corridoio all'ingresso è parallelo al fiume Arno ed è rifinito in noce italiano sulle pareti e sul soffitto, interrotto prima da una nic...

DFROST creates a trade fair booth with bauhaus and urban-jungle themes   It was just one year ago that neubau eyewear first displayed its »heritage wall« to grant others a glimpse into its history and showcase itself as a new, emerging eyewear brand from Linz. But you’d be forgiven for thinking that decades had passed since then. Today, the brand is an established industry player with an outstanding reputation for urban lifestyle topics and sustainability. Many of its customers will get to enjoy a truly impressive spectacle when they make their way to the MIDO Eyewear Show 2019 in Milan: on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus school, neubau will unveil a unique booth that combines the iconic des...

La sfida progettuale affrontata prevede la ristrutturazione e la riqualificazione di un appartamento situato all’interno di un piccolo ed antico borgo ai limiti della città. L’intento progettuale è stato quello di coniugare le ridotte dimensioni spaziali dell’unità abitativa con le sue altezze interne. Nonostante la modesta superficie calpestabile, si è intravista la possibilità di eliminare l’esistente controsoffittatura in cannicci (posta molto al di sotto del livello di copertura) e pertanto di sfruttare la potenzialità data dalle altezze interne dei locali.   Intravista questa nuova potenziale spazialità, la soluzione progettuale ha quindi proposto di dar fo...

I dintorni naturali della tenuta sono stati rispettati durante lo sviluppo del nuovo ufficio. Il design e la costruzione sono incentrati sui principi della natura e della biomimetica. L'architettura biomimetica cerca soluzioni per la sostenibilità in natura seguendo la sua serie di principi e usandola come modello, prendendo ispirazione dai design e dai processi naturali. Le altezze degli edifici sono state regolate per rimanere al di sotto della linea degli alberi. Sono state rispettate le rotte di volo dei pipistrelli ed è stato sviluppato uno speciale piano di illuminazione per evitare il disorientamento e per proteggere la fauna. L'edificio energeticamente neutro consiste in materiali sostenibili e in una costruzione...

Oiso is the Japanese beach birthplace, and it is the town which prospered as the high-quality villa place where the successive Prime Ministers built secondary residences from the early 1900s.   The image of Oiso, a high-class, historical but modern town, overlapped with Marcel Breuer's dining chair (Cesca Chair) owned by the owner.   We limited the materialsused to teak floors and glossy painted walls ,and designed the room with high and low ceilings and floor steps.   We focused on the simple material composition and the varieties of the spaces, and aimed at the architecture appropriate to the modern and high-class atmosphere of "Oiso in the early 1900s" and "the Cesca Chair".   Material Used: 1. Plasterer Finishingwall- Outer Wall 2. Pain... Altro

The project is a restoration and renovation of Marcel Breuer’s Lauck House (1950) built in Princeton, NJ on a beautifully secluded four-acre lot. Breuer’s design followed his ‘house in the garden’ model commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and showcased in the museum’s garden in 1949, as part of the museum’s attempt to promote Modern Architecture in America while addressing the needs of suburban living for the modern family.   Breuer’s design introduced new ideas which have since become common practice in contemporary design of the single-family house including a children’s area, bedrooms and playroom separated from the parent’s room, a central kitchen overl...

LOT-EK was commissioned to design an art studio space for the Whitney Museum of American Art. The Whitney Studio is located in the Sculpture Court of the Whitney Museum’s Marcel Breuer building on Madison Avenue. The Studio houses activities for the Whitney Museum’s education program, including art-making classes for adults, teens and families, informal lectures and special exhibits.The building employs 6 steel shipping containers stacked on two levels to form a monolithic cube, designed to fit the Whitney’s open moat on the south side of the entry bridge. The stack is sheared by a diagonal plane to generate a continuous cut that runs along two sides and the roof of the assembly; the Boolean plane also carves the inside of the sta...

This pavilion is a part of a project “Open-Air Flat” organized by PIK Group – a leading real estate developer in Russia – for Picnic “Afisha”music festival.Pop-up structures that symbolized the rooms of an abstract flat were situated in different areas of Kolomenskoye park where the festival has been taking place since 2007. The object is a reinterpretation ofa living room which is a common space for communication and activity in any flat. Not by chance it was situated in one of the most crowded areas of the festival just between food court and main music stage.This specific location implied the pavilion to be an art object as well as having a clearpractical purpose.With its semi-transparent walls constructed out of rainbow-colored plastic...

The romantic and picturesque Stella Maris Chapel (meaning “Star of the Sea”) has nestled among the trees of Lake Sagatagan since 1872.Originally, it was situated on what was then called Doctor’s Island, named after a teacher who dropped his gold-rimmed glasses on the site. Since the chapel was built, however, it has been referred to as Chapel Island.  This small chapel is an important part of the Saint John's Abbey, a community of Catholic Benedictine men, and is the location of a number of structures designed by the modernist Bauhaus architect Marcel Breuer.  The chapel survived the tornado of 1894, but was burnt down in 1903, by a lightning strike. In 1915, the young monks of the abbey completed a new Stella Maris Cha... Altro

The Whitney Museum is building itself a new home in downtown Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. Due to open in 2015, the project will substantially enlarge the Whitney’s exhibition and programming space, enabling the first comprehensive view of the Museum’s growing collection, which today comprises more than 19,000 works of modern and contemporary American art. Founded in 1930, the Whitney moved to its current Madison Avenue home, designed by Marcel Breuer, in 1966. At the time, its collection numbered some 2,000 pieces of 20th-century American art, so its nearly 100-fold expansion needs space to flourish. The new museum is to be situated in New York’s vibrant Meatpacking District. Fronting onto Gansevoort Street, the site lies between the H... Altro

For the first edition of Space & Interiors, at The Mall - Porta Nuova, Migliore + Servetto Architects designed an innovative concept of exhibition center. The interior is designed on the basis of a double register: on one hand the commercial purpose offers a detailed analysis of each products on display; on the other hand, an analytical approach allows a dialectic comparison between them. At the centre of the space there is the exhibit New Components Code: ten high towers with a light framework, spaced out by welcoming seats, host a selection of the companies’ most significant products in order to create an osmotic exchange, a dynamic and flowing relationship between the two areas. Inside each tower a selection of scale models, realized... Altro
