Green House is a small urban residence located along a lively greenway in Tokyo. The house was conceived as a backdrop to everyday life, engaging both its inhabitants and passersby through its presence along the public path.   Rather than simply facing the greenway, the project creates a terrace and front garden that extend the life of the house outward. Over time, these outdoor spaces are intended to function as an extension of the greenway itself, contributing to the shared landscape of the neighborhood.

The façade combines planar and curved surfaces, responding to the verticality... More

A New Air Terminal for the Rouyn-Noranda Airport

Located in the heart of Canada’s boreal forest, the Cadillac-Larder Fault is a major geologic feature that cuts across Quebec’s Abitibi-Témiscamingue region and into Northern Ontario. It is the source of the region’s abundant mineral resources, and several major settlements were established along its length to engage in mining and forestry. One such settlement is the City of Rouyn-Noranda. Established in 1926, the city is said to occupy a space "between fault and forest", to borrow a phrase from a historical guide of the city’s rural quarters. Maxime Brouillet Maxime Brouillet Given Rouyn-Noranda’s unique geography, the new air terminal serves not only to increase the city’s visibility a... More
