This new healthcare centre is located in a distinctive landscape. Along with Château de la Corbière and its church it forms a new ensemble integrated within an agricultural estate overlooking Lake Neuchâtel. With its low-level volumes it respects the existing buildings and topography, opening out generously towards the lake and the Jura Mountains. The new building connects with the existing medical centre, combining with it to form a single articulated whole that engages in a dialogue with its environment. The architecture and the surrounding landscape intermesh in the folds of the building’s form, seeking balance. An interplay of privacy and openness to the landscape lies at the heart of this complex and organic ar... Meer

The main challenge was to capture through architecture the concept of Waldorf education in a tangible way, taking into account the guidelines of its founders and pedagogical team.   The architecture should be striking, fluid, open, with curved walls, subtle colors, and include textured surfaces and natural materials.   As a starting point we wanted to adapt the architecture to the site, and cause the least possible impact to the environment to maintain harmony in the place.   We opted for an elongated shape to focus the main view of the ocean, and adapt to the topography. We lean towards a distribution of separate modules to have that feeling of fluidity abroad, and to differentiate academic spaces according to the nee... Meer

A quarry is the evidence of man’s action on nature; a universe in which men unintentionally sculpt pleats and volumes that result in a strange and visually striking geology. A manufactured landscape*, an organic architecture created by the trace of the search for raw materials, which brings us back to the origin from which the raw materials come. The captivating and unique nature of this landscape nourishes the concept. The access through a small opening in the monolithic facade links the visitor with the central space of monumental character, the "arrival to the quarry", the Agora. It is the starting point to begin a new journey of museographic character, where the multiple exhibition halls - with materials of diverse characteristics–... Meer

Deze maand krijgen twee nieuwe eigenaren de sleutels van hun eigen Freebooter appartement mee; twee woningen op het Amsterdamse Zeeburgereiland, ontworpen vanuit de biophilic design gedachte.   Ontworpen en ontwikkeld door architectenbureau GG-loop in Amsterdam, het ontwerp laat de signatuur en filosofie van het bureau zien als antwoord op de opdracht om te ontwerpen met continu de welzijn van de eindgebruiker in gedachten.   "We maken op een diepe en fundamentele manier deel uit van de natuur, maar in ons moderne leven hebben we die verbinding verloren. Ons bureau stelt een thuis- en stadsontwerp voor dat zowel de bewoners als het milieu r... Meer
