Avenir Apartments

Comprising 33 two and three bedroom luxury apartments over four levels, Avenir is composed as an assemblage of projecting and overlapping bay windows. These elements recall the picturesque playfulness and complex roof forms that are typical of the Queen Anne period. Shannon McGrath The architecture aims to create an engaging sculptural object that sits comfortably within its surrounding context. Partly taking its cue from the suburb’s Edwardian past, the formal response could be considered as an abstraction of the exuberance of the era. Shannon McGrath Shannon McGrath Deep blue translucent glass is provided as an accent colour to the projecting window forms, recalling the decorative stained glass of the past, while ac... More

Howard West Residences

Howard West presents an inviting collection of residences in one of Melbourne’s most vibrant inner-city locations. Derek Swalwell From an architectural point of view, it offers a series of unexpected spaces. Like a hidden garden or a private world, the lofts and apartments are set behind the building’s original brickwork. Derek Swalwell This sense of enclosure is unique in such an urban environment, providing a quiet living space on the edge of the city. Derek Swalwell The heritage walls also create a unique terrace for many residences – a space of sanctuary with a range of views between the outside wall and the interior living areas. Derek Swalwell Howard West is highly considered in every way, fro... More

Dendy St Residences

Dendy St Residences reimagines Brighton’s living opportunities by offering four, spacious, luxury apartments in an area of Melbourne’s south east that is largely occupied by single dwellings. Tom Blachford Comprising two north-facing and two south-facing residences situated approximately 100 metres from the beach and 400 meters from the historic Brighton Bathing Boxes, the design responds to the coastal proximity in various subtle ways: the use of natural materials, organic shapes, an ethereal colour palette and reflective surfaces. Tom Blachford From the street, the facade is distinguished by the strikingly angular balcony and soffit. The tiles on the facade are reminiscent of the shimmer of water or the subtle colo... More

Park Lane

Located on Riddell Parade in Elsternwick, Park Lane takes inspiration from the surrounding parkland to deliver a sculptural 11-storey form expressed through a natural, tactile and robust material palette. Peter Clarke Directly facing the green lawns of Elsternwick Station Reserve, Park Lane’s 24 home-sized, dual-aspect apartments feature bay views that will never be lost.

MoYeoGa

Gathering, building a house, and living there together is like a dream of our life. Be that as it may, we are witnessing more and more houses are built for various purposes over time. Nevertheless, it is too difficult to gather all potential occupants so as for them to build a house by reflecting all opinions and needs of themselves. Particularly, any house where many families gather to live in downtown must be built as a multi-household housing type which is commonly called a “villa” in Korea. These houses often boil down to monotonous buildings by the land size, circumstances, or construction cost. For all that, “Mo-yeo-ga,” (which means a “Gathering House”) is to fulfill the romantic dream of a house i... More

Blue Roof

The “attico” story in the historically roofed-over Baroque building at the heart of the inner city, adjacent to David Chipperfield’s Kaufhaus Tyrol. It turned out to be possible to break up the “wrong” roof of 1983 and re-set a smooth, steep roof as a new crown. In order to visibly demonstrate respect for the historic facade, apertures were restrained and kept functional: a huge roof window transforms the interior to a rooftop terrace in summertime. The haptic texture of the room itself is inspired by the rawness of old roofing materials, as spotlighted by the trapezoidal metal-sheet apertures in industrial buildings. Peter Koren A puristic approach is also found on the inside: the walls and ceilings are... More

ALPINA Residential Complex

The underlying concept of the complex is "play of silhouettes", where the natural landscape is intertwined with an artificial volume created by an architect. 2STORM creative agency This form is comparable to the existing landscape and the highway, which creates a certain dynamics and romanticism of the area. 2STORM creative agency When we were working with the facade, the requirement for air conditioning was taken into account. The idea of the facade "pattern" was generated, which was then transferred to its surface. 2STORM creative agency Thus, we have obtained a texture that does not contradict, but emphasizes the complex silhouette. 2STORM creative agency We tried to stay away from the traditional development of n...

Avenue on College

This off-campus college apartment building near the Indiana University at Bloomington, home of the Hoosiers, underwent a complete phased transformation. They wanted warm and inviting touches with fresh, energetic highlights that appeal to the youthful residents. Layers of bright colors, neon signs, fun light fixtures and bold graphics balance out the brick and wood architectural elements. The quote in neon above the fireplace sets the tone, “Good Vibes Only”. Steven Bullock Steven Bullock Steven Bullock Steven Bullock Steven Bullock   More

Redside residential house

Victoria Chimakadze, designer of BALCON studio, has completed a project in the Moscow RedSide residential complex — an apartment of 130 sq. m. meters for a young family.

Nick Rudenko   Nick Rudenko The customers interested in music, contemporary art and illustrations. "We immediately decided that it was necessary to provide a place for a vinyl player and records, and to give the walls to the works of modern illustrators.

DPS Apartments

The building’s design is an exploration based on the traditional housing complexes and typologies of del Valle neighborhood in Mexico City; an urban layout where the street blocks feature pan coupé corners that create broad intersections. As a response to this specific situation, the scheme and building incorporate a diagonal sequence of spaces that transition from the public realm of the street towards the intimacy of the interior and private terraces and gardens. Caption Inside the scheme, the apartments are organized in such a way that there is no “back apartment”. The latter is possible through the combination of single and duplex typologies that have a relation towards the interior patios and gardens but... More
