Red container

A container house made to promote local wood larch in the Saku area of Nagano  Prefecture, Japan. It has a floor area of 9.9M2 and a size of about 2.3x5m. It can be moved by a 4t truck by putting an iron pipe under the steel base. Although Shinshu larch is a beautiful red color and relatively strong among conifers, it has not been used as a building material so far because of its large warpage and twist, but due to the progress of drying technology, the concern has been resolved. It is expected to be used for various purposes. Here, logs, pillars, and beams of structural materials, floors, walls, eaves, furniture, etc. are mostly finished with larch, and visitors can experience the material and space.  takeshi noguchi take...

Nomad House

The location of the Nomad house is on Lefkada, specifically at the southern tip of the island. In this location, the hills characteristic of the island gradually disappear into the sea. The house would be situated in close proximity to a wild beach. The beaches on Lefkada are considered the most beautiful in the Ionian Sea. The surroundings of the building will remain untouched, with every stone and bush preserved and left in place. This "nomadic" house is not intended for long-term stays but rather for occasional trips. The owners could spend time in contact with nature, using modern technology as little as possible. The lower container would house the living room with a kitchen, sleeping area, and bathroom. This space would not be divide... More

Recycling Square in Luchtbal

The new parks are conceived as recycling squares. The staff building, the canopy and the signage support the idea of ​​a clear place, a public space in the urban periphery.The container park is sloped in one big gesture towards the road. In this way the recycling square obtains a powerful facade and thus a recognizable image for both visitors and passers-by. Filip Dujardin Filip Dujardin The raised container park is defined on one side by the containers and on the other side by the staff building with canopy. The level difference facilitates the use of the containers and is realized by means of concrete elements that also form the backbone for the canopy.

Seville Cruise Ship Terminal Phase 2

The second parts can also be good. This is the second part of our Seville Cruise Terminal project, which expands and upgrades the original building. Ports and cities share the common feature of undergoing constant change. To resolve the challenges brought on by that interaction, port buildings must be able to change over time, without recourse to improvisation. One solution can be to propose modular industrial architecture that highlights the port’s distinctive nature, though designed with the architectural quality required to ensure the respective urban integration. In that regard, the Port of Seville needed a new cruise ship terminal that would be flexible, multi-purpose, extendable, easily removable and even transportable. That w... More

Container House RD

The Container House RD emerges from the owner’s intimate rapport with metal structures. A metalworker by profession, he dreamt of participating in the construction of his own home, alongside his team, putting to practice industrial solutions to conventional construction practices. The idea of reusing and repurposing marine containers as highly-resistant, ready-made structures, resonated fully with the aspirations and ambitions of our architectural firm to develop a challenging project. Another important factor which informed our decision to opt for this material modality was the optimization of the work, both in terms of time and ease of assemblage, a far cry from traditional masonry and reinforced concrete.   In principle, the...

The Adris group Pavilion

The visitors of the 2016’s Weekend Media Festival were bound to notice a 10-metre-high structure in the courtyard of the former tobacco factory Tvornica duhana Rovinj. Its three floors were home to food tasting, socialising, and dancing, but also the platform for a unique perspective of the festival’s events.
