Casa BE

Casa BE is home to a unique family; a project that the studio and client materialized after a process of permanent interaction and a very clear program: the kitchen should have a leading role; the room would enjoy independence, far from what happened in the area of fire and food; always social. This premises dictated the form: a body in the form of 'L', with the kitchen in the north, the room in the west and, among them, a garden that imposes its own rules, that steals the attention of those who just enters hall, located at the angle where both sides intersect, topped with a window of three-by-three meters. The garden is opposed to the closed and blunt façade, with a basement and gray painted fence, which closes completely to the we... Mais

Mar Vista House

The Mar Vista house is the renovation of a 1953 bungalow in west Los Angeles. Located two miles inland from the ocean, the property sits at the end of a cul-de-sac within a larger suburban masterplan. Caption The client, owner of a boutique apparel store, wanted a home with a subdued contrast to the color and patterns found in her shops. In response, we explored an “all-white house.” This seemingly simple directive proved to be conceptually challenging given the context of the existing house. While it was almost entirely white to begin with - a trademark of similar homes that are hastily “upgraded” for appeal within the real estate market - it lacked the light, depth, detail, and comfort the owner sought. Na... Mais

CJP House

#1_ SITE CJP house is located in a 500m² area in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina. The immediate context is characterized by a low population density as the house is located on the periphery of the consolidated urban fabric of the city. The surrounding area is populated by small neighborhoods of single family homes with plots of vineyards and fruit trees. The small number of buildings and the low-rise architecture of the area allow for an imposing view of the Andes mountains.   #2_ PROGRAM & TYPOLOGY The request consisted of the design of a living unit -for two adults and two children- which developed into a L-shaped structure that surrounds a reinforced concrete core and a dry patio. Thus, the ground floor offers... Mais

Maison Ave Courcelette

The main intention of the Maison Ave Courcelette project, located in the Outremont borough, was to improve the relationship of the interior spaces with the large exterior courtyard while highlighting elements dating from the original construction.   The living space has been generously opened to the outside so that the kitchen can be extended under a new canopy on the rear facade facing south. This canopy has a dual function as it reduces solar gain in summer while allowing occupants to enjoy a covered space. The new openings in the existing walls allow natural light to also diffuse into the central space of the house. The fluidity of the ground floor plan is enhanced by this light as well as by the sculptural articulation of the sta... Mais

Warp Studio

A new type of office space by Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd. used by company members for various independent projects. Different office style was required for the design of the new business of the well known Japanese company. The space had to differ from the usual office space, where usual atmosphere would be for the people to work at their desk. In the context of several projects and group of people working together at the same time, the aim was to make people from different teams feel like sharing a single space. The entire office is a large open space with a large sunken sofa area that is positioned in the center, where the workers can spend their time as they like and work as they prefer - either on the large sofa, desk area or corner coffee...

Gerard Resort Modern

Entering the courtyard via the driveway, the pool is mostly hidden from view due to a masonry screen wall that doubles as a water feature wall (showcasing fifteen, Randy Angell Designs custom fabricated stainless steel water scuppers) and as a two-way linear fireplace. The fireplace feature is protected from the wind on the driveway side by an acrylic shield, making the fire enjoayble while sitting in the raised, perimeter overflow spa on the opposite side.  Hartstone Tile concrete pavers, wrapped and separated by lush, synthetic turf, lead you around the ledger-stone clad feature wall to the pool area.  Looking across the polished Primerastone finished pool, you'll notice a raised "KnotWood" deck on the opposite side, complete w...

Pam & Paul's House

A casa flutua na copa de um denso bosque de carvalhos no sopé das montanhas de Santa Cruz, a oeste do Vale do Silício. A ideia conceitual surgiu clara e rapidamente - colocar uma caixa de vidro flutuando nas folhas das árvores em duas colunas semelhantes a troncos, interrompendo o mínimo de carvalhos possível. A densa copa das árvores oferece a oportunidade de construir uma casa totalmente envidraçada, protegida dos raios solares diretos, mas cheia de luz solar salpicada. Darren Bradley Darren Bradley Darren Bradley Uma ponte de grade de aço conecta a grade ao telhado de gramíneas nativas. Um deck de observação fica no campo de grama junto com uma g... Mais

The Kinii

"The Kinii" Ski Lodge ("o ninho do falcão", se traduzido da antiga língua nativa) representa uma perfeita exemplificação da filosofia e visão levadas a cabo pelo OBICUA, pois reinterpreta o conceito de cabana na montanha de uma maneira contemporânea e ecológica. O projeto está localizado a quase 3.000 metros acima do nível do mar, exatamente em Powder Mountain, de onde é possível ver — graças a uma vista panorâmica de 360° — até três estados americanos.   A capacidade de apreciar plenamente a beleza natural do local exigiu que os arquitetos do OBICUA concebessem e criassem uma abertura para a paisagem cuidadosamente c...
