Fluid Oriel Window

The Fluid Oriel Window is a striking architectural feature designed to transform facades and interiors with depth, light, and character. By extending outward from the building’s envelope, these frameless glass projections capture sunlight from multiple angles, creating luminous spaces that feel expansive and sophisticated. Precision engineering allows for a "floating" aesthetic with minimal visible framing, while laminated and toughened glass ensures structural integrity.

Cabin 192

Do or RedoFifty years later, a house no longer meets the demand for which it was created. If, then, we must choose between transforming an existing suburban house or building a new one, there is an ethical question that surpasses the merely economic equation. As architects we must rethink the impact that generates replacing a piece where it can be refunctionalized. And that decision comes prior to the project.Having then made the decision to readapt a construction, the search was oriented towards a structure that was as basic as possible, which would allow a certain freedom for a programmatic readjustment. An existing house was then chosen, made up of a pure brick volume with a gable roof, with a 9 x 9 square geometric plan, and two adjacen... More

An imposing glass box sits in contiguity with the old collar beam roof of Stuttgurt's Alte Keller

Constructed in the 14th century in the suburb of Miedelsbach in Stuttgart, Germany, the Alte Keller is an old wine press building owned by Alfred Arnold revamped into an impressive multipurpose venue by Sigrid Hintersteininger Architects. Brigida González The objective of the conversion was to give new life to the old building while retaining its historic charm and ensuring sustainability through the reuse of existing fabric. All the functional components of the structure were preserved and restored. For example, the collar beam roof truss was temporarily removed during the construction, stored, cleaned and reinstalled, whereas the ground floor timber framework had to be replaced with an exposed concrete base, embossed to d...

Seoul Yeodamjae establishes harmony between a former temple, trees, concrete and glass

Located in Changsin-dong, Seoul, a former Buddhist temple named Wongaska had become abandoned and disconnected from its local context. Originally constructed in 1983, Emer-sys Architects undertook the transformation of the structure into a cultural centre that includes a library for children as well as a feminist library.   Kyungsub Shin Addressing the disjointed site context was a key challenge for the architects from the outset. In the middle of Naksan mountain, the location descends 10 meters and is surrounding by both generic apartment blocks and sites of historic and cultural significance including the turtle rock around which the story of Queen consort Jeongsun, the wife of King Danjong, is centred. Kyungsub Shin It i... More
