Project • By WindsorPatania • Residential Landscape
Byron Square
The Bryron project is an attractive semi-detached private residence situated in Cambridge. Our clients were seeking to enhance the circulation and functionality of their living spaces. To achieve this, we proposed extensions to the property, reconfigured the layout in the ground floor, and introduced personalized areas tailored to the unique needs of each family member. This resulted in a seamless integration of architectural solutions that enhance the overall living experience for the residents, creating a harmonious and comfortable home environment.

Stadele Rooms
The project “Stadele rooms” forms an addition to the renowned Stadele Restaurant in the village of Lana.
David Schreyer
The new building, which houses the rooms, is located in a very narrow space between the restaurant and the owner’s home, both different in age, function and architectural language. Like a well-studied puzzle piece, the building slots into its densely build context.

Freed from all decorative elements, the sharply cut concrete monolith becomes the gem itself. Space-defining balcony boxes climb up its light, velvet-hard concrete façade.

Centro Cultural Hartii
Centro Cultural Hartii, designed by Taller Mexicano de Arquitectura TAMA, represents a thoughtful renovation of a residence situated in one of Mérida’s most historic neighborhoods. Established in the early 1970s as one of the city’s first residential areas, this building—once a home and studio—has been transformed into an art gallery and cultural center.
Manolo R. Solis
The renovation aimed not only to preserve the original structure but to accentuate its essence through a dynamic interplay of vertical and horizontal volumes, level changes, and a nuanced play of solids and voids.

Project • By Šťastný Pavel Architekt • Housing
Family house Dehtáry
The house is located in the village of Dehtáry in the Liberec region, it is a beautiful region with mostly open rural development. The client's task was to rebuild the original building with one apartment unit into a house with two apartment units. The ground floor of the original house serves as a unit for the grandparents, and the newly built part serves a young family.

Bergson Kunstkraftwerk
Markus Stenger from Stenger2 Architekten und Partner, Munich says: «The decisive factors for choosing Janisol Arte 2.0 were the small cross-section, the very high-quality surface, and the sharp-edged connections - which of course emphasise the required 'industrial character' overall». In the ‘Kesselhalle’ the hinge windows made of pudding stone – five on each of the two narrow sides and nine on the long side – are each three metres wide and 16 metres high; in the area of the entrance doors, the total height is 18 metres.

Technische Univerität - Pulse
The latest university building "Pulse" creates new connections on the campus and the university, once again, sets new standards. For the facade, the architects from Ector Hoogstad Architecten opted for the VISS SG all-glass facade in structural glazing construction.

The stability of the steel profiles allows for particularly filigree interior views. Large-format glass surfaces measure up to 3.5 x 2.4 metres, visibly increasing the transparency of the building envelope. The facade can be partially opened so that the cafeteria on the ground floor melts into the square. The pivot doors rotate around a slightly offset vertical axis. In this way, the massive weight of these floor-to-ceiling facade elements of 475 kilog... More

Hotel Saltus
Catch your breath, feel deeply relaxed, enjoy nature, and experience grounding – these were the things on top of the list for the functional program of Hotel Saltus in San Genesio, near Bolzano. Every single design decision and choice of material was made with these fundamental principles in mind, which in the end lead to a harmonious and coherent project. The three parts of the building nestle into the steep slope at different heights. Precisely positioned cuts into the geometrically simple building volumes, which interact with the distinctive terrain, create unique exterior spaces.

Natura
In 2017, when we were contacted for our first housing competition, we responded positively, though with many preconceptions about real estate development and its architectural quality. We believed we could do better than others. The reality check was painful. We found ourselves overwhelmed by the constraints, norms, regulations, and economics of such projects. It took us a while to digest this failure, swallow our pride, and get back to work with much more humility.

Myohoji Temple joint grave
What exactly is a grave? Throughout various eras, its form has undergone numerous transformations. In contemporary times, the format of graves has evolved alongside societal changes such as the rise of nuclear families and shifting attitudes towards religion, leading to innovations like columbariums. Consequently, new forms of graves are now in demand to accommodate these diverse societal conditions.

Natural Science Center II, University of Stuttgart
The Vaihingen campus has been home to the University of Stuttgart’s engineering and natural science departments since the 1959. On the site situated in the south-western part of the city, two connected high-rise buildings constructed in the 1970s house the Faculty of Physics, the Faculty of Chemistry, and the university library. The project aims to transform the building complex into an advanced, networked research campus by renovating and upgrading the western high rise, Natural Science Center II, and adding a new learning and laboratory environment.

The basic idea behind the proposed upgrade is to preserve the existing structures as far as reasonably possible while retaining their architectural qualities. In additio... More

House Through The Red Gate
Artel31’s latest completed project House Through the Red Gate is a stunning example of blending old and new. Originally two listed Cotswold stone byres, this farmyard conversion now features a fully glazed open-plan kitchen, creating a seamless connection between house and garden.
Charles Emerson
Like so many Cotswold farmyard conversions, House Through the Red Gate was formed from two listed Cotswold-stone byres. While there can be advantages in subdivision, it meant that portions of the house felt very disconnected, from both each other and the gardens between. Being a listed building the conservation officer was determined to maintain the visual isolation so we negotiated a form that took cues from tin-roofed pole barns, prev... More
