Canopy

This project was to re-imagine a private residential house that was sited in a steep and lush hill. Paying homage to the existing dwelling was at the forefront of the design. Instead of demolishing it, we investigated what was underneath.  We re-orientated the house so it looked away from a parking bay and opened up towards the rear where the woodland understorey provided an exquisite backdrop. We didn't want to impose an imported idea. We appropriated local materials in innovative ways and through recycling original features and opening up of new spaces, we gave a new life to the house.

The frontage of SungangMixC Market Hall, China Resources’ new mixed-use development in Shenzhen, is now complete.  Created by Ted Givens, Design Partner of 10 Design, the frontage is marked by a stainless steel canopy that forms a dynamic sculptural first impression for visitors to the new complex, acting as an artistic gateway. The sweeping form spirals into a loop and pulls visitors into the retail street. Two large office towers frame the edges of the retail street, and the canopy is used as a mechanism to create a comfortable pedestrian scale. The metallic skin is highly reflective to add vibrancy in both sunlight and the glow of early evening.     Construction of the entire development is well underway with an an... More

For this public space project Liqui designed a canopy-like pavilion, constructed from corten. It was important for the pavilion to act as a noticeable focal point from different vantage points within the park, and despite its large size, the structure was designed to be inviting and encourage exploration. To achieve this aesthetic an open canopied framework was designed, supported by four tree-like columns on a raised base. The centre of the pavilion features raised levels giving visitors a fresh vantage point to view the surroundings. More

The Owners are from Costa Rica. After the second meeting, their second child was born. At the third meeting, their house was filled with family and friends, a common occurrence in their home. The suburban box did not at all fit their lifestyle. It was closed, dark, and divided into very small rooms. They said that there was not one space in which they felt comfortable. They wanted a house of openness and light, where their children could be free to explore and play independently, still within view of their parents. The solution was to create a courtyard house, with large sliding glass doors to bring the inside out and outside in. The existing house was completely opened up, and a cathedral ceiling created in the living room. Programmaticall... More
