Thread House is a one-and-a-half-story front and rear extension to a modern terraced house in Tower Hamlets, East London, adding extra space to the home to better serve the demands of family life.

Una coppia di artisti di Charlotte, NC, si è rivolta all'architetto Toby Witte di Wittehaus con le immagini della serie Netflix "Le case più straordinarie del mondo". Con l'esigenza di avere degli sbalzi notevoli, il desiderio di godersi la casa anche quando le scale potrebbero essere un problema, gli occhi grandi e le orecchie aperte sul processo di progettazione, erano pronti per la loro casa moderna.

Nel corso di otto mesi hanno parlato, fatto schizzi, esplorato, tirato fuori una lunga lista di preoccupazioni pratiche e ha... Altro

A ridosso dalla cerchia dei Bastioni, dove inizia il centro storico di Milano, lo studio milanese LPzR ha realizzato un nuovo intervento residenziale che insiste su un’area dalle proporzioni inconsuete: il lato lungo misura più di settanta metri, ma il lato corto è di soli sei metri. Carola Merello Il progetto è stato concepito per ricucire il contesto urbano, ponendosi come elemento di completamento di un intero isolato. Il lotto di intervento affaccia su tre vie, di cui due ad alto scorrimento, ed è delimitato da un lungo corpo di fabbrica a confine. La conformazione volumetrica di progetto chiude il frontespizio cieco preesistente e si rapporta con il contesto, adottando una strategia differente p... Altro

This project was to be a house for a family with greatly different ideas about what constitutes a house. One parent dreaming of a strikingly modern aesthetic, the other of a traditional house with a sloping roof, and with respect for the rules of Feng Shui. ZEST architecture had to find a way to interpret both these views and create a house that would feel like a home for the entire family. Adrià Goula The villa is located on a plot in the town of Alella, with views both of the Mediterranean, and the city of Barcelona. The design departed from the idea of making the most of the views to all sides. We developed a volumetric concept that is an intricate play with three different materials and various different heights. Because th... Altro
