Nefaar

The literal meaning of the word ” Nefaar ” is a summer house; in the northern farms of Iran, simple wooden rest houses are common, which serve as a place to relieve fatigue and have lunch for farmers during the summer season and work hours. They also provide a safe haven in the evening or at night, protecting farmers against the fear of wild animal attacks. Caption When the design of a temporary residence in a small area of the northern resort cities was mentioned in our office, we aimed to present a contemporary interpretation of this concept. Since the project was expected to be unoccupied for most of the year and only used for residence and recreation during the summer season by our staff (regarding our role as both des... More

Q11

The three housing buildings on Chemin du Chêne are organized around a tree-lined courtyard. A real haven of peace contrasting with the industrial context of the south of Renens, it offers a place of sharing and relaxation for the inhabitants with its adjoining common room. The three covered passages animated by the windows of the community laundry-lounges mark the entrances to the main building and allow access to the two similar buildings located in the courtyard. These are organized by distributive corridors, favoring the exchange of inhabitants. The diversity of the 175 apartments in terms of size and typology (through-houses, duplexes with workshops, LUPs, apartments on corridors) favors a social and intergenerational mix. Resolu... More

RESIDENCE MORITZ

This building links a private living space with touristic accommodations. Therefore, the idea rose to keep the traditional shape from the log cabins in south Tyrolean style. The basement floor is dedicated to the touristic residence and the upper floor represents the owner’s apartment. The traditional pitched roof turns into a continuous wood panelling, adapted to the functional needs of the building. This is visible by the staircase that links the upper floor with the garden. Both main fronts of the buildings are very different: while from the part of the village only one floor is visible, the opposite façade shows the entire buildings and opens its view to the panoramic sunsets.
