White Harbor Retreat

The key thing about this home was the location and the site; it is on a really prominent lot on Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota – the type of lot that you don’t come across for sale everyday, so we wanted to of course create a home design that takes advantage of those amazing views.  JMAD JMAD JMAD JMAD We wanted to create something classic and timeless in style and form – and shingle style. So the home features an abundance of glass on the back side looking out on the lake with all the key primary living spaces, also the outdoor living is on the back of the house with a pool that you access from the lower level and a screen porch that allows you to live outdoors for a good part of the year.

Modern on the Prairie

We named this home Modern on the Prairie. Certainly, Pa Ingalls didn’t design this one. We designed it in a Modern architectural spacial design by using vertical and horizontal planes to create the spaces. No post and beams or headers. Its flat roof helps further expresses the planes. There -are- some classical elements to it: it’s symmetrical and the forms create the space vs random  arrangements made in some modern architecture.  Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Our Modern on the Prairie has the feel of a classical home with how the forms were arranged but is oh, so modern. We also designed the f... Mais

Handmade classic furniture made in Italy

The interior design of a home must always be planned around the homeowner's preferences and personal tastes. The clean lines and classic furniture, which is either made of high quality wood or other large materials, and, of course, the neutral color palette, make the classic style of a house a favorite of many. In a nutshell, the classic style is defined by the symmetry of individual pieces, and we're not only talking about the ones you've chosen for your living room or bedroom. The bathroom and kitchen are two more rooms that must adhere to the same symmetry when it comes to the interior design of a traditional home. Mais

MaintorWinX

The WinX Tower will be completed as the final segment of the MainTor ensemble. At a height of 110 meters, the WinX–The Riverside Tower is the highest of those in the MainTor quarter which stands directly on the banks of the Main River and interfaces the river, Old Town Frankfurt and the CBD. The office high-rise stands out from the other MainTor buildings for its materials and style. The 28-story tower is characterized by a reflective metallic skin and an unusual shape, as it rests on an x-shaped footprint. The striking entrance: the seven-story portal building on Neue Mainzer Strasse, which marks the beginning of the WinX Tower, combines classical architecture and sheer dynamism. Mais

J. P. Morgan And Company

Many buildings in the Financial District were built in the early part of this century.  They are assertive buildings, strong in form and bold in scale.  Their architects interpreted freely from the language of classical architecture and, with exuberance, employed the full range of compositional elements.   The mid-block site of the fifty-one-story tower extends from Wall Street through to Pine Street.  Across the street is 55 Wall Street, an 1842 landmark, from which development rights had been transferred.   The design of the building involved the challenge of devising a tower that was technologically and functionally contemporary, with state of the art communication systems, energy efficient and prepared for c...

Each zone has an independent language: noble grey contrast and a linear arrangement of golden metal hues on front glas... Mais

Casa Atrio

A heavenly plant-filled atrium brings life, light and connection into the heart of this family home. From the outside, Casa Atrio has the character of an Italianate-style terrace, intertwining decorative classical architecture with a Victorian-era home. Ornate and picturesque, the style is unique to Melbourne when the city was fuelled by the prosperity and optimism of the gold rush late nineteenth-century.

Anchored on the bank of the Grand River, the project reignites a landmark — a listed 1885 masonry post office that had fallen into serious disrepair — and adds a 9,000-square-foot transparent pavilion that wraps around the original building and stretches out over the water, revealing the conviviality within to passersby, enticing them in. The multidimensional architecture communicates from all sides, exuding intelligence and practicality as it deftly merges old and new. RDHA achieved sophisticated forms using... Mais

Clan Hall X - The Pursuit of Truth Under the Tree

Located at the entrance of the entire village, this house is the first building in sight when entering this ancient Huizhou village. This tiny sweet piece of architecture was originally used as a small pharmacy store with an area of only 80㎡. In order to receive growing number of tourists, we renovated her into a reception center for the entire village. The design requirements are simple: in order to coordinate with the overall environment, it’s not allowed to be bigger, taller or abrupt. However, she still needs to bear the iconic role of the entire ancient village at the entrance spot.During the concept phase, we don't want her appearance to be smeared exaggeratedly as a cyber-celebrity, but a local girl who reads poetry. Therefore, the r... Mais
