The Farmer’s House acts as the UK base for AR Design Studio’s clients, who return to the English countryside from their travels to tend to their farmstead. Set on a private estate in the most western part of the South Downs National Park, the house’s rural location is its raison d’etre. AR Design Studio were approached by the clients who were looking to add a completely self-contained yet joined annexe, that would be a space for their children and grandchildren to ‘take over’ when they were staying. The team at AR Design Studio proposed an extension and makeover that would wrap everything together in a unified and elegant form. The old and new are joined by a glazed link that sits between the existing house and the new annexe.... More

Everyone wants to escape the fast-paced, bustling city life at least for a few days once a year, and luxury retreats are the perfect way to do so. This family luxury holiday home designed by CAS in Riyadh, KSA is the perfect retreat from the urban-land. With a wide berth of nature and two segregated parts of the home – a family home and a guest house – the CAS team designed a luxurious and opulent theme that is engulfed with classic natural and landscaped elements. The interior design is vast and spacious, yet finished in cozy materials. The outdoors are sprawling in greenery, with just the right amount of artificial intervention. The overall design is truly welcoming, comfortable and relaxing. http://www.comelite-arch.com/portfolio/fam... More

The project with a surface area of around 70 square meters is a guest pavilion that functions as an autonomous architecture conceived as an extension of a project that we had developed in the studio. The human scale of the pavilion makes it a comfortable space where to experience living in a garden. The pavilion consists of two rooms: one bedroom and a living room with a kitchen. There are also two bathrooms, one serving the pavilion and the other one as a support for the pool. Within the premises, the aim is that the built piece minimizes its impact on the garden from the main house. This way, the pavilion is located approaching one of the limits of the land, perpendicular to the swimming pool, showing its slimmer and opaque side towards... More

Site The city of Beirut lies in the heart of the developing Middle East. Having always been a cosmopolitan city, it is a focal point of the region as a cultural and geographical link between Europe and the Middle East. The history of Beirut could hardly be more diverse; remains of Phoenician, Roman, Mamluk, Ottoman and Colonial rule have shaped the city and its buildings. The design of Beirut Terraces was quite literally influenced by the layers of the city’s rich and tumultuous history. It is a history now also marked by inescapable traces of an eventful present. For generations to come, the people of Beirut will remember the assassination in 2005 of Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, when a car bomb detonated in front of St. Georges Hotel.... More

This home is located in a privileged plot in Patagonia Argentina, surrounded by forests and incredible views to the River. It’s original placement with the home located towards the back of the plot, comes from the decision to approach the river side and optimize the views, generating the garden towards the front taking advantage of the best orientation. This 650m2 home develops in section, obtaining three levels of uses interconnected by a central space, still maintaining the privacy of each room. The social area is located in an elevated level to get the best views of the landscape. It is accessed by an irregular ramp that creates a unique path towards the house entrance. The private areas are divided in two, one sector for t... More

Located on one of the few lots in Dallas elevated enough to enjoy a view of the downtown skyline, the five-story Vertical House rises dramatically above the treetops to capture views of the surrounding gardens and the skyline beyond. Characterized by clean lines, sheer glass walls, and sculptural sun shades, this sharply-detailed house offers an intriguing counterpoint to the tropical ambiance of its forest-like setting. The client, an avid collector of exotic plants, wanted a house that would not only maximize views of the site, but also maintain privacy from neighboring properties. In response, the house was conceived as two interlocking, contrasting volumes: one half is transparent and oriented toward views of the... More

With a total area of 1.140.410 m², Sorgun Ecopark is aimed to rehabilitate the Sorgun Coal Mine which has been operated by Yeni Çeltek Coal and Mining Inc. Co. for over forty years. With an elaborate landscape design, the now defunct coal mine will be incorporated back into the city of Sorgun, Yozgat. Located on the Yozgat-Sivas Highway in the middle of Anatolia, the project site has a great potential to influence a much greater area than its nearby surroundings. As a part of the improvement activities, a green large space will be created in order to be re-incorporated into the continuity of the green belt that leads up to Yozgat National Park, and reconnect the existing green belt which was physically cut off by coal mine. Considere... More

Sited on the pristine greenery adjacent to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and spanning 21,000 square metres, the Temasek Club was purposed as a sanctuary for Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) regulars, Full-time National Service and National Service officers to relax within the natural surrounds. DP Architects (DPA) won the design competition held by Temasek Club on the basis of its merits: chiefly, it was the only scheme that sought to conceal the volume of the club buildings by ingeniously tucking the mass within a natural valley in the terrain. The terrain was cleverly employed as a cradle for the built massing; from the main entrance court, the club appears as a single-storey building. Sensitive site-planning ensured that views of the nature res... More

The town of Niort is built on the banks of a meander in the River Sèvre, and the historic centre developed around the river port. During the 19th century, urban development and the extension of areas around the station changed the shape of the town, shifting its centre of gravity. The Place de la Brèche, a former fairground, became the centre of the modern town. During the 20th century, it was turned into a parking area, losing its original character. The first phase of the project focused on drawing up a programme of work for the future Place de la Brèche, and studioMilou architecture was commissioned to undertake the project as a whole in 2003. The project raised the question of how to design large public areas in historic urban c... More
