Portal House

A Toronto couple has opposite tastes: he is an enthusiast of tenebrous minimalism, and she a lover of bright French country kitchens. They wanted to renovate their home of ten years, to streamline and organize their books and belongings. The architect proposed a dual design with deep oak tones along the lower half of the rooms, and bright whites above, merging the two tastes to create denlike coziness. Scott Norsworthy Scott Norsworthy The design hinges on ‘ribbons’ flowing through the space, guiding the motion through the rooms. The ribbons curve in areas where sharp corners would not fit, or would stop the flow of movement. In the kitchen, a tight space, all lower cabinet corners are softened with curved ends, allow...

Poli House

Stone, wood, and glass are the primary materials used in this house’s exterior and interior design.

10 residences implementing engineered wood flooring

Wood is an excellent flooring solution that is warm, sophisticated and high quality. Cost, durability and thickness restrictions, though, can make engineered wood flooring the most suitable application for many residential spaces. Engineered wood flooring can convey the same level of craftsmanship and solidity as natural woods with the benefit of being stronger, easier to maintain or more cost efficient.    Multiplank engineered wood floor products consist of two or three layers, designed to prevent the natural warping of wood and to ensure a solid base. The bottom layer is typically made from water-resistant plywood on which a solid top layer is glued with waterproof adhesive. Top layers are cut from fresh raw material - giving... More

Dijkhuis

  Dikes protect the Dutch country side from flooding. On top of a dike a little house was built in the 1950s. It fell into disrepair and was sold. The new owners asked Mirck Architecture to design a new dike house, using the beautiful views, daylight, and wood. Mirck proposes to open out the living space to the north, by cracking the dike house volume away from the dike, into the polder landscape. Katja Effting   The outer corner of the crack is fully glazed and brings in plenty of daylight into the large open space. The facades are also open to the best views in the north. The combination of the abundant natural light and the many views, creates a room-in-a-view: the sensation of being part of the landscape. Katja Efft... More

House full of coziness

Aesthetics have played a huge role in our client's life for years, daily managing several Warsaw restaurants. As a studio, we wanted to make sure that from beautifully designed workplaces, Weronika would return every day to her home, where every detail has also been taken care of. Martyna Rudnicka From the threshold of the door, you can feel the warmth with which the house emanates. The living room, which is a central area, envelops you with coziness and helps offset the stress gathered by the household members throughout the day. When designing the house, we had Veronica's family in particular in mind. It is a space that invites with its energy. The children feel it.  Martyna Rudnicka Family gatherings once a week are not...

Harts Farm

With our Harts Farm project, we delved deep into the sites history, character and surrounding buildings, and noticed the strong farming past which is commonly associated with the area. Along with a barn influence, the proximity of the large neighbouring barn lead us to design a building which took a contemporary stance on a traditional form. Although contemporary in form, the proposal takes on a sensitive approach in order to respect the historic character of the area and the Grade II Listed status of Harts Farm Building.  The materials proposed also reference back to the existing agricultural buildings. Timber slats are orientated to represent traditional barns and along with a more poetic contemporary idea that they mimic the surrou... More
