New Zubiaur School of Music a visual and spatial interplay between overlapping walls and existing building context

Javier de las Heras Sole has completed the New Zubiaur School of Music in Amorebeita-Extano, Spain. The design was submitted as part of a competition and envisages the school as an independent element to the adjoining cultural centre yet still in conversation with it. This was achieved by adding a new façade to the cultural centre’s dividing wall, effectively ‘freeing’ it by converting it from a shared entity to now a boundary delineating where the cultural centre’s perimeter ends and the music school begins.  Credit: Adrià Goula Simultaneously, the original wall of the adjoining ‘fronton’ (ballcourt) was retained and incorporated as the real ‘protagonist’ in the proje...

Caldeiroa car parking

The programme could be summarised briefly as a building with three storeys and a roof, landscaped and accessible, with smoke and natural ventilation, and covered parking for 500 vehicles. It also established a number of functional and urbanistic parameters, determining the accessibilities. The block where this project was carried out is located in the flank of the “noble” parts of the historic town, that is between the walled city and its large exterior square – the Toural. Today, the entire block has been conformed, in particular by the buildings in Rua de Camões and Rua da Caldeiroa, but also by the geographical feature that is Ribeiro de Couros and the occupation which it promoted when the city was incorporating...

Villa Elena

“A shell of unusual geometric volumes, covered in corten steel, and an essential interior design, whose simplicity is synonymous with elegance and emotion. […] The sober and refined furnishing is the result of a complex architectural reasoning: the aesthetic research, the high quality materials, the charm of the design complements, are the protagonist of a dialogue with the exterior sealed through large windows overlooking the sea.” Pure design on the seaside, Atelier, n.03 (2018)   The recessed downlights Turis 1.0, a square fixture with diffuse optics, used here in a white finish, were chosen to light the living area, maintaining the minimalist rigour and neutral tones that c...

Saddle Peak Residence

On this beautiful plateau, high on a ridge of the Santa Monica Mountains overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the intention was to respond with an elemental design that strengthens a connection to nature on a vast scale while navigating the natural topography and sculptural rock outcroppings with deft precision.    The most significant move was the placement of the 14 board-formed concrete bearing walls that emerge from the mountain topography to define a modest dwelling in two volumes.  The L-shaped main house, balanced between airy slope and earthbound plain, forms a courtyard with the massive rock and infinity pool while the studio/carport aligns across the site establishing a powerful horizontal reference.   Steel wide...

Otzi Peak 3251m

There is something sublime about this special place, right at the top of the Schnals Valley Glacier ridge, where Italy's impressive alpine landscape soars high above the reservoir below, and Austria is around the corner. In this unique geographic location, fate decides whether a drop of glacier water will make its way towards the Mediterranean or the Black Sea.   ONWARDS TO THE PEAK The Hotel Grawand lies at the very top of this unique alpine intersection, which at over 3,000 meters above sea level, is one of the few hotels in Europe located at such an altitude. The summit is a stone's throw away at a distance of about 50 meters. The breathtaking landscape view of snow-covered mountain peaks makes time standstill. Hikers and skiers... Meer

Studio / Bunkhouse

Conceived as a multi-use building, this small Studio / Bunkhouse was designed to fit carefully into its natural context. As a discrete structure, the Studio / Bunkhouse also allows the family to experience the climate and place in the to-and-fro from the cabin to the main house, located just 30 feet away. The building was framed by an 11-year-old and her dad out of rough-sawn Douglas Fir from a nearby sawmill. The framing lumber and shiplap sheathing were exposed in order to display the nature of the structure. Rigid insulation was applied to the exterior that was then sided with 22-gauge Corten steel “shingles” hand-cut from standard-size sheets of the material.

Theodore Wirth Ranch

Envisioned as a modern ranch, the Theodore Wirth home rests comfortably on its hillside location. Immediately adjacent to the property, a densely wooded park creates a retreat-like feel during the summer months, while revealing the Minneapolis downtown skyline and its close proximity to the city throughout the winter season.   Working with the clients, this residence was designed in a way that can easily accommodate gatherings and be used as a place to entertain. Central to the property, a 10-meter swimming pool reflects views of the surrounding structures. In addition to the sauna, the pool house along the western edge provides a sheltered deck area and outdoor kitchen. Reflecting off the expansive south facing windows of the home,... Meer

Tree House in Burien

Client + Site BackgroundThe clients are a graphic designer and fine artist with two kids, a Great Dane, and a cat. The site is a one-acre wooded parcel at the top of a bluff overlooking Puget Sound. The property had been part of larger estate that was subdivided a few years before the clients purchased it.   Project BriefThe clients asked us to design a home for their family of four that was by turns tranquil and surprising, so connected to the trees and the hillside that it would feel like a virtual walk in the woods.   Design IntentFrom early ‘homework assignments’, we learned how connected the clients are to the region and how much pleasure they took in walking the property.  Through a series of model works...

Riverside Drive House 1

A home for a builder's own family of 6, located in Torquay, Victoria. The Riverside house centres around the northern yard and reserve beyond, which is further emphasised by the plunge pool/water feature which ties the main building to the pool room building. Large areas of eave-protected north glazing work to allow solar passive gain into the main building during the winter months and to exclude hot sun during summer.   The building is anchored to the site via a rammed earth central spine wall that runs externally/internally through the entry area and into the living and kitchen zones. Rammed earth is continued on in the construction of the detached pool room building, so that the visual connection between inside and outside, main b... Meer

Mt Duneed House

An honest, low-slung building, which sits sympathetically with its surroundings. Simply clad with corten steel and recycled timber, the home is positioned on the crest of a gentle hill and surrounded by paddocks with scattered trees. Northern orientation allows winter sunlight and warmth to penetrate through a series of large operable glazed panels, whilst in summer, large fixed eaves keep the hot summer sun at bay. The house has been designed to be practically "indestructible" in accordance with client requirements - resulting in an easy cleaning, low maintenance, robust dwelling. Meer

Hogsons Smokehouse

With several years of path and delighting the most demanding palates in Yucatan, GLaR decided to start a new gastronomic adventure, on the same steaky line but this time with a new approach, resulting from traveling and the enthusiasm for Texan cooking.   The first step was finding the perfect place, so after months of search, it was found, a little jewel in a quiet area in the north of the city. It was suspended on time; the past owner was an old lady with a particular taste in gardening. This was the triggering point: the lush vegetation.   During the initial designing meetings on the site, for Hogsons Smoke House, we declared a guiding principle: Celebrate Green. Transform a space originally designed for housing to a c... Meer

California Meadow House

Envisioned as a single continuous, flowing expression, this family estate links architecture, interior design, art and landscape into an integrated whole. Unified around the central living area, views radiate in four directions across reflecting pools to vistas into gardens and the nearby Santa Cruz Mountains. The residence also includes three auxiliary buildings and extensive outdoor living areas, but the subdued quality of the design blends the home into its verdant site.   The 3.5-acre site is organized into two interconnected parts, reflecting contrasting attitudes towards the landscape. The cultivated portion of the site, with vineyards and old-growth olive trees, contains the “public” areas of the house, including l... Meer
