Un fascinoso edificio della prima metà del secolo scorso ospitava un appartamento ampio ma i cui ambienti presentavano proporzioni anomale. Il progetto si basa su un lavoro accurato di connessione degli ambienti, riutilizzo degli spazi, recupero di arredi e finiture esistenti e inserimento di nuove texture e materiali. Giulia Benedetta Costa Giulia Benedetta Costa Giulia Benedetta Costa Giulia Benedetta Costa Il grande ingresso diventa lo spazio prediletto per ospitare una piccola biblioteca domestica e le pareti della cucina verso corridoio e salotto si smaterializzano permettendo nuove connessioni. Un telaio in legno incornicia i passaggi e diventa l’elemento intorno al quale si svolge la vita della famig... Altro

Il progetto rivaluta un bilocale nel cuore di Milano, in un condominio anni '60. Obiettivo del rinnovo: rendere l'appartamento il più ampio e luminoso possibile. La memoria costruttiva dell'esistente non viene del tutto persa, ma esaltata: la palladiana in marmo e il parquet a spina italiana vengono mantenuti e levigati; con piccoli interventi puntuali si esaltano l'apporto di luce nei locali. Virginia Lorello Architetto La palazzina residenziale degli anni ’60 è una delle tipologie costruttive più diffuse a Milano. In quel periodo vi è una certa cura nella selezione delle finiture, ma gli interni rispecchiano una cultura dell’abitare totalmente diversa dalla nostra. L’appartamento era com... Altro

Gli architetti Proctor & Shaw, che hanno sede nel sud di Londra, hanno completato la ristrutturazione completa degli interni di un appartamento in un quartiere d'epoca a Marylebone, Londra. La sfida richiedeva la ridefinizione dell'inefficiente layout esistente con una camera da letto e un bagno per incorporare due camere da letto doppie, ognuna con servizi privati, insieme a una generosa cucina a pianta aperta, una sala da pranzo e uno spazio abitativo. Ståle Eriksen "L'ultimo piano dell'edificio esistente era stato ricostruito in seguito ai danni provocati dai bombardamenti durante la guerra", spiega l'architetto Mike Shaw, "il che significava che la struttura esistente in cemento armato permetteva una completa riconfigura...

Cake and breakfast is a breakfast cafe, located in the the 19th century building in the very center of St. Petersburg . Preserving the interior contrast was the main wish of the customers, so we combined cute details, pink color and brutality of concrete. There is a bar counter for takeaway orders ont the 1st floor and two rooms for a pleasant breakfast on the 2nd floor. We used concise surfaces: concrete, terrazzo, plaster, slatted texture. Details and furniture were made in local workshops: concrete hemispheres, triangular countertops using brass, mirrors with a white backing in the form of a bowl. Arched metal structures zone the hall space on the second floor. They are combined with arched windows. There are custom made swivel sconce... Altro

The concept of the new Heideveld Primary School complex was borne from constraints experienced as part of the previous school location and layout as well as from the decanting strategy and programme, which was integral to the roll-out and construction process. The site is fairly small and the existing school operation had to be accommodated on site while the new school was being built. This gave rise to a compact and simple plan form, focused around a shared central courtyard, and two secondary undercover courtyard spaces, one for the foundation phase classes in a single storey block and the other for intermediate and senior phase classes in a double storey block. The hierarchy of shared spaces is a theme that runs throughout the design of... Altro

Du Noon Primary School is a replacement school, built as part of the Department of Basic Education’s Accelerated School Infrastructure Development Initiative (ASIDI) Programme.   The Du Noon Primary School site is located within very dense urban fabric, with properties fully built up, and the narrow streets lined with informal spaza shops, crèches, and informal house extensions. With open space in Du Noon being an absolute luxury, the streets are true public spaces, where, out of necessity, pedestrians take precedence over motor vehicles. The existing school operation had to be accommodated on the site, while the new school was built. Hence the new school had to be accommodated on the limited area available outside the e... Altro
