Architecture design contemporary

Set in a prime location in Bengaluru, this modern house provides a calm respite in the midst of a bustling city. The three-storeyed residence is inhabited by a family of four, and is a carefully curated juxtaposition of minimal aesthetics, functionality and concepts of Vastu (traditional Indian science of spatial design and placement).   The main entrance to the house leads the visitors to the portico on the first floor while the car parking entrance provides a more private access to residents via the internal staircase and the elevator.    The main visitor entrance reveals a double-heighted, extensive living area. The volume rendered to the living area maximizes fresh air and natural light in all connected spaces. The li... More

NIMKAT Cafe designed by considering cafe as a Hang Out and developing the form of Bench as an iconic image of the hang out. Lack of space was our main challenge, and the project seeks to use architectural design to maximize the space to fit many more benches. Thus, by forming a secondary shell we made a Special Diagram that divides the café into two parts. A section of the shell forms the benches and other section provides circulation area, possible for extra infill.  At the end, we covered one face of this cubic form with a reflective surface to make a virtual image of the Special Structure on the other side and to complete our Diagram.

The main interest of the project is to respond to a series of themes: the relationship between a steep topography and the new construction, clean energy production, economic maintenance aspects, a zero-energy home strategy and specifics customer’s needs are among the set of intentions that establish a philosophy of growth and enrichment for the specific natural site. Caption The structure is planted in three levels ranging from street level 0 (access), level -1 (all social areas) and level -2 (bedroom and private areas). The central volume of the house is oriented towards the south, acting as a thermal mass (thermostat device) thus, allowing all adjoining areas to be natural heated regulated. Caption As an economic strateg... More

The plywood textures and radiant light dominate the senses inside this converted duplex in central London. The project capitalises on the idea that a small home can be full of nuances that help unlock the potential of the different experiences that the space can offer. The main feature of the house is the plywood spiral staircase, reminiscent of a tree trunk, that connects the two floors. The layered ply plays with a range of tonalities that give visual texture to the structure, accentuating the handmade craft that makes the home a warm and charismatic living space. A series of rooflights bring light through the roof and, in turn, through the upper floor, juxtaposing the sharp shapes of sunlight with the angles of the architecture’s... More

Inspiration from vernacular architecture concepts is always a challenge for architectures. We believe that shouldn’t see this from formal perspective and in this project we seek to apply Iranian vernacular architecture’s taste in modern space.    On the other hand, the client’s order is about designing two villas in one site. By designing a common yard and enclosing stairs which is combined with site energy, different stages in different levels was created. This leads us to a variety of open, semi open, private and public spaces that affects the interior spaces. This special consideration of site, caused a coexistence, companion and neighborhood of two villas.   Project is about design of two villas in a... More

With elevated views of the river running through the valley below the site, the house was aptly named the River View House. Located in Johannesburg, South Africa, the site is nestled amidst a small forest of thorn trees and grassland. The compact, yet steep site presented a gradient of 1:1 which brought with it many challenges, but at the same time Gottsmann Architects saw many more opportunities. This set the tone for the project and so the concept began. Upon approaching the home on street level, a person is led past finely detailed Scandinavian timber screens opening up and leading one across a bridge suspended over water. The large open-plan layout provides unobstructed views of the forest from within the interior spaces of the house.... More

The design of Chaman Villa began with how to deal with existing condition on site; an old residential unit and a pool. We seek to preserve them.  By placing a Cedrus tree at the end of entrance path and redefining this path a structural ax was made in a way that second volume added at the other side of the ax. Since the primary volume was in the basic house form, by playing with slopes and eliminating symmetry, we tried to remodel the archetypal house. These changes were in a way that the public and private zones divided according to their needed areas. Façade transparency between the volumes makes the Cedrus to be seen from the site entry.  More
