Detail: Seosaeng House marries contemporary architecture with traditional Korean vernacular

Set on a hilltop in the Ulju-gun region of South Korea’s eastern peninsula, Seosaeng House is a multi-generational family home whose contemporary architecture marries elements of traditional Korean vernacular. Designed by London-based Studio Weave, Seosaeng House enjoys panoramic views across the East Sea.

LOTCA - fish restaurant

fish restaurantPlaced in a context that lacks strong visual elements, except for the slope on which it lays and the water it is oriented to, the fishery proposes a subtle tandem with the nature, while crossing it becomes an itinerary in which a series of frames are gradually discovered. As you enter the space you descend between two solid volumes whose sobriety is balanced by the pastel colour of the facades. vladimir mindru vladimir mindru vladimir mindru vladimir mindru The impression of an object that has a weak visual relation with the environment disappears while passing through the interior, where the space becomes the setting for an experience in which sight is gently led from opaque to transparent, the final poi...

La Grande Brasserie

For the project of the Grande Brasserie, I dived into my Parisian experience to initiate the project while trying to give it its own identity. It was about avoiding a pastiche without soul. So the early sketches leaded us to a rather precious place (wooden cladding, plaster reliefs, carrara marble ...) that we gradually put in contrast with "raw" elements such as the imperfect structure in concrete, Terrazzo stairs, very simple black steel railings, industrial suspensions, a collection of naturalized butterflies which gives a cabinet of curiosity aspect .... These two universes (luxury and raw) create an interesting tension who ended up giving the place its own DNA. Alessio Mei Photography Alessio Mei Photography Alessio Mei Ph... More

Bluestone Elementary School

Harrisonburg, Virginia’s Bluestone Elementary School has been called “the happiest school in America.” Maybe it’s because the students can sense that they’re saving the earth. The 103,000-sq.-ft. building has an energy use index (EUI) of just 18. That’s 75% below the national average for peer facilities or 60 EUI. Though it’s more likely because architects at VMDO designed the building to reflect the school’s mission; to educate a diverse student body, where the district’s students speak as many as 58 different languages, to build community, and to support collaboration. “The school district wanted the design to embrace and support transformative learning, making sure it was an equ...

St. Minas House renovation realizes the potential of its connection to the sea

Located near the small village of St Minas, Greece, and overlooking the Euboea Sea, this summer house renovation by Neiheiser Argyros opens up to the landscape in all directions. In particular, two large shallow concrete arches orient the main living spaces towards the sea.  Lorenzo Zandri From the approach road, the house appears to disappear into olive groves and wild pines forests but opens up across two stories to embrace the full extent of the seafront views. Extensive terraces around the house create a multi-level network of outdoor living rooms. Lorenzo Zandri The original house on the site was designed by Greek architect Nikos Hadjimichalis in the 1970s. While the original house was also focused towards the sea, by... More
