SOROCABA RESIDENCE

Located in the countryside of São Paulo state, this house underwent a renovation aimed at updating the layout of an older residence and adapting it to the needs of contemporary living.Our proposal was to integrate the social areas and kitchen, keeping only the staircase as a separate element within this large, open-plan space. We also created large openings facing the veranda, which connects to the garden. Much of the garden was regraded to make room for a swimming pool and a new structure housing a studio and a gym. Maura Mello Maura Mello The old garage, which accommodated only two cars, was replaced with a larger one. Since the garage is a key element of the house’s façade, we designed a horizontal metal st...

Casa Eli

The architectural project was born with the request for a recreational and leisure shelter for own use or to be rented for seasons in the city of Cañada de Gómez, province of Santa Fe, in a sector of the city where there is an abundance of weekend homes. This led to adopt as a fundamental premise the withdrawal of the construction towards the back of the lot to generate a generous park in front, dominated by a swimming pool. Thus, the garden offers at first sight a feeling of spaciousness, enjoyment and serenity. arq. walter salcedo arq. walter salcedo arq. walter salcedo arq. walter salcedo arq. walter salcedo arq. walter salcedo arq. walter salcedo The house proposes a geometric game that...

Departamento Sadro

This is a remodeling project of a recently delivered apartment in one of the newest and most innovative developments in the city of Puebla. With a program defined by the original architectural plan, the focus of the project was to capture the lifestyle of the users in these new spaces, reforming for this reason, the service area, generating a completely new "pantry" space and a new service bar towards the kitchen and social area.  Alejandro Mirsha The rest of the spaces were redefined with fixed elements and furniture, which, obeying the needs of the users, generated a large main room, a dining room and a new decompression space between the access and the social area, as a living room.  Alejandro Mirsha The entire...

Project Name: Taghtiran Kashan FactoryArchitects: Moein Nikaeen, Marzieh Mirjafari Design Team: Mohammad Mirzaiee, Bita Rezaee3d visualization: Amirreza Teymouri Caption This project was referred to the office while it was on built structure. We first started studying the current situation of project and all the effective factors in design. Afterwards, with the aim of changing the typical typology of industrial sheds, our design process was started. In this process, by placing a grid on the existing structure, the general conditions and the project plan were analyzed. The result of this change is the splitting of the walls and the creation of an in-between space that sews the green layers in and out of the project.This boundary could... More

Project • By Taillandier Architectes Associés • Primary Schools

St. Genevieve's School

The project consists of the construction of a school including classes ranging from nursery school to high school as well as the school administration and canteen (total capacity of 1000 students). Saint Genevieve’s school was previously located in the centre of Saint-Jory. The classes, spanning from primary school to middle school, where housed in rundown and restricted buildings no longer conform to current safety regulations. Urban renewal projects for the historic centre, as well as the opportunity to move the town hall into the historic buildings occupied by the school, cemented the project to relocate the school to a more modern and spacious location. The new site chosen is located within a larger urban project between the rou... More

Project • By Edgley Design • Housing

courtyard house

Two new build one-bed houses were constructed in place of an old silversmith’s workshop behind a row of Georgian houses in Angel, London. The workshop was demolished, the site excavated and the existing brick boundary walls underpinned to allow the construction of two jewel like courtyard houses.Approached through the Georgian terrace, the building appears as a beautifully crafted jewel hidden within its juxtaposed rough old boundary wall and concrete foundations. Entering into the house the top lit double height space creates drama. The light filled stair with cedar clad walls leads you to the sleeping quarters with private terrace. The open plan living dining kitchen space is lit and ventilated by a sunken courtyard, visually connecting t... More
