Laid on a sloping ground, the house takes advantage of existing topography to organize itself in half-levels while creating a spatial continuity in living spaces.As a response to the inside half-levels, the ground is planned in terraces and banks. The garden sets a succession of sequences, each one sheltering its own functions in relation with the house. Kitchen and dining room are generously opening themselves to the terrace and the aromatic plants garden. The living room, at the same level than the vegetable garden and the natural pool, enjoy a frontal view with the last bank, a free garden and few fruit trees.

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...

The design was supposed to refer to the raw Japanese style, warmed by the summer breeze. Thanks to the consistency of the design and staying true to the selected materials, we obtained a very coherrent interior, from the entrance hall all the way to the bathroom.

By choosing natural materials, we consciously accept their natural aging processes over time.

Through the interaction of two volumes, we created a blind facade (to the north and the street) which brings more privacy for the house, and consolidates the integration in its urban context.The project was developed as a game of horizontal and vertical plans with a strong connection with the exterior space.The vertical planes configure the implantation limits and “support” a large horizontal plate that is intended to be autonomous and concerns the coverage of the house. NRenders The facade varies between opaque concrete panels and very large windows measuring 2.60m high and the roof slab will be made of exposed concrete creating the idea that it is resting on the vertical panels.The interior organization of the compartmen...

This is a hair salon located on a local roadside. Cars come and go all day long on the front road and most of the surrounding area is occupied by parking. But three-fourths of the city area is covered in forest, where forestry is flourishing here and timber has long been transported by raft. Although the utilization of local resources is being promoted, the transition to wooden non-residential low-rise buildings has not progressed. Yosuke Ohtake Yosuke Ohtake Yosuke Ohtake The client requested bright spaces, ventilation performance effective against viruses, and a sustainable architecture to ensure this. Is it possible to create a natural architecture that reflects these diverse conditions? Rather than thinking about the des... More

On a sunny hillside overlooking the bay Lagos, in Portugal, Casa Libre faces inwards, towards the privacy of its patio, but is also open to the south, where the view becomes lost in the immense sea. With a clean, square design, the house, on a single floor, in exposed concrete, originates from this patio and then opens out towards the horizon. The weight of concrete coexists with the lightness of a loose canopy and transparency of the glazed surfaces. FG+SG architectural photography That loose and very slim canopy, in exposed concrete, which extends to the glazed area, and shelters and shades some wooden decking in the garden, is probably the most striking feature due to its design and elegance. This finds its counterpoint in the lon... More

The project, which won the architectural project competition for the Ted Ankara College Campus with a capacity of 6000 students in 1998, was implemented in 2005 and educational activities have begun. Conceptualized and designed by Semra Uygur and Özcan Uygur, this campus is a city simulation accomplished adopting the principle that education should create its own urban life even if it is in an area remote from the city. As a result of this design principle, TED Ankara College Campus operates as an actual city with the daily circulation routes designed considering the diversity of common indoor-outdoor areas, functional arrangement, meeting of various users, and the requirements emerged within the process. deniz uygur cemal emde...

The location and the resulting image of the project at the initial stage set the basis for the idea. All elements of the interior are brought into the exact balance of volumes and colors, textures and materials, as well as in the fullness of decor items. The house is surrounded by a pine forest, with a low floor the windows are at the level of the tree crowns. The surroundings bring natural colors and materials to the interior, while the interior is shaped by a structure that unites the living areas. Everything is as flexible as possible to erase the framing contour of the apartment. Technical issues are minimized or visually hidden to give the space as natural as possible. There is the required number of lamps, electricians, ventilation is... More
