Corten steel

A single-storey house arranged around a shaded court. The plan is held by two long walls that carry the roof and divide the site into served and serving ground.Openings are few and deliberate. Light enters through a narrow eastern slot in the morning and washes the plaster surfaces of the living room until midday, after which the house returns to shadow. More

In the heart of Marmilla, where the gentle Sardinian hills open up to views of golden fields and ancient olive groves stretching to the Giara di Gesturi, the municipality of Siddi (South Sardinia) gains a new urban threshold. The redevelopment of Via Napoli, the main access road to the village, transcends mere infrastructural function to become an act of refined architectural and cultural sensibility. cèdric dasseson From the sidewalk to the parking area/town entrance, the project invites a walk with a view of the landscape beauties of Marmilla, transforming a peripheral route into a true story of welcome. Corten steel, local stone, and light become the three key elements that intertwine memory, identity, and landscape, welcomi... More

The site in question is situated in Radlice, Prague, in an area that is gradually being transformed from a former industrial zone into a vibrant, mixed-use urban neighbourhood. In the past, the site served as a tip for excavated soil and building materials, and as a base for construction companies. It was previously an empty space devoid of vegetation, whose potential lay in restoring its natural character and creating a high-quality living environment. The design is based on the idea of integrating the architecture with the surrounding landscape. The newly designed greenery ties in with the vegetation on the adjacent plots and seamlessly draws it into the site. Green roofs, climbing plants on the façades and community gardens creat... More

The 1.8-hectare site is a natural formed terrace snuggled into the gentle north sloping base of Queenstown Hill in the South Island of New Zealand, overlooking the untamed Shotover River which disappears around the bend below. Simon Wilson The clients are staunch locals having spent most of their life in a modest cottage on the same road. They have owned the site for twenty years: planting and tending to the now mature grapes on the back terraces. They sought a permanent home here: a rural home for their mature years where they would be happily making wine and tinkering on old cars. Simon Wilson Simon Wilson The home consists of four robust rectilinear pavilions laid informally along the terrace. The materials include off t... More

Dhaka Stock Exchange, located in Nikunja, Dhaka is one of the major stock exchanges in Bangladesh. The Dhaka Stock Exchange tower is located beside the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway. That building had a huge mass with no green on site. Nowadays, almost all corporate houses are designed in a very specific way in Bangladesh where the landscape is ignored. Dhaka Stock Exchange Tower is the next head office of the stock exchange. Sometimes, designers and stakeholders almost forget to put a small green on the premises. There are so many stockholders, companies, broker houses, etc. These premises were surveyed and found almost zero green on site. MSH Atelier was hired by the Dhaka Stock exchange authority to redevelop the building profile and landscap... More

The biggest challenge of the project was the static solution for the cantilever platform. The old vantage point was on a heavily indented mass of rock resting on an inclined plane. For this reason, the static approach of the new vantage point is based on a foundation plate that is stuck in the rock massif as a counterweight. As a result, the less stable rock area is not stressed. Fundación Patrimonio Natural de Castilla y León Due to its length of 12.8m and the location on the steep slope, the platform offers completely new perspectives. At its end there is an opening covered with a steel grating that allows a vertical view over the steep slope and its massive rocks . The railing serves as a lateral bridge for the two b... More

The Raft Sloboda is located in Belgrade, at the delta of the Sava and the Danube rivers. As there was no particular location at the beginninig of the process (we just knew the raft would be on the river), it seemed to us that old and rusrty industry boats, that pervade whole coastal area, suited best to tihs strand. Caption We decided that the raft should be made of rasty steel and unpretentiously take a posture of an old timer and, thanks to its charm, offer warm athmosphere to its future visitors. Naturally, its design is subordinated to modern architecture and modern users'needs. One of the input data was the purpose of the facility. It was intended for the Disco Raft Sloboda to change the athmospheres throughout the day - from af... More
