Minty House

Minty House, nestled among the classic Victorian terraces of West Hampstead, was transformed to meet the client’s desire for a more spacious, cohesive, and distinctive home. The project involved a complete refurbishment of the house, including a kitchen extension that fills in the side return and enhances the connection to the garden. The goal was to provide the extra space and design coherence the client sought, while also introducing a sense of flow and individuality to the property.

Shards

From the slim sliding doors to the angled façade, the home is provided with a large level of light and exceptional views of the pool and garden area. Image 2 Photography Image 2 Photography The site’s prior use as a quarry and an illustration of the material used to backfill the quarry served as inspiration for the project’s design. The forms and angles of the bricks and glass fragments that were placed on the site during the backfilling of the former quarry have influenced the design over time.

10 public and institutional buildings with ceramic frit glazing

Há muitas vantagens na utilização do vidro como componente de construção: a luz natural e as vistas exteriores são apenas duas razões. Existem também muitas desvantagens, incluindo a acumulação de calor e a falta de privacidade. Estas últimas questões podem ser resolvidas através da utilização de vidro impresso com uma frita cerâmica - uma vez temperada, torna-se num revestimento permanente e duradouro. O envidraçamento com frita cerâmica reduz o brilho e os custos de arrefecimento, e pode melhorar a privacidade de um edifício e a sua forma decorativa exterior. É também uma forma simples de tornar... Mais

10 homes that make use of expansive glazed facades

O design das janelas desempenha um papel fundamental na determinação do aspeto exterior de um edifício. A Casa Farnsworth de 1951, do arquiteto alemão Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, com as suas janelas amplas e fluxo ininterrupto, é um exemplo maravilhoso da utilização arquitetónica do vidro numa casa (apesar dos problemas de privacidade e controlo da temperatura na altura). Hoje em dia, as janelas são cada vez mais construídas tendo em conta o desempenho, nomeadamente o desempenho térmico, a integridade estrutural, a redução do ruído e a proteção contra os elementos. Os sistemas de janelas de alta qualidade afectam positivamente a efi... Mais

Botanical garden TOQUE

This project consists of the conditioning and adaptation of the industrial buildings next to the company 'Toque', on which they want to expand their production. We want not only to adapt this relevant environment of the urban center of Novelda but also the creation of a brand image for a centenary company, which exports botanicals and spices around the world. Born at the end of the 19th century, the company maintains strong links with local Modernism. The facade is a small tribute to the memory of the place, present in the iconography and the natural elements of its offices. The recovery of the elements of local Modernism is presented as a garden. A green space for the city. The main façade of the longitudinal nave has been treate... Mais

Invisio thermally broken structural glazing window system

The first fully thermally broken structural glazing system, Invisio, was designed to offer architects unrivalled possibilities with flexible glazing design. The thermally broken fixings are designed to be hidden by the building finishes and multiple glass units can be silicone jointed together for a frameless design.  Invisio can reach large sizes and accomodate triple glazed units simply by using a deeper profile. The flexible nature of architectural glazing means the system can be used for a wide variety of applications including structural glass roofs, frameless glass walls, glass balustrades and much more.  Caption   Benefits and properties A frameless finish The beauty of structural glazing is its frameless...

Glazed Extension for a 19th Century Home

This property is located on the outskirts of Haslemere, outside the development boundary in the Green Belt, in a predominantly rural, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The period cottage is assumed to have been constructed in the second half of the 19th century with photographic evidence showing later extensions and the conversion into two semi-detached dwellings prior to 1955. The new owners fell in love with the historic appearance and tranquil setting of the house. Nevertheless, the cellular interior layout - typical for the age of the property - did not match the clients’ mode of living and the rear facade, facing north, was characterised by a dilapidated lean-to which blocked the garden access and light.ArchitectureLIVE’s...
