MODU completes passive house designed Mini Tower One residence in Brooklyn
Brooklyn-based architecture studio MODU has recently completed Mini Tower One, a rear addition and renovation project for a multi-family residential building in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. The 325-square-meter (3,500-square-foot) project innovatively integrates urban nature with low-energy strategies, underpinned by its adherence to passive house design principles. Passive house design is crucial for sustainable construction as it dramatically reduces a building's energy consumption and carbon footprint. Key components include super-insulated facades and airtight construction to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures with minimal energy use.

Eversource Station 99
Utile has served as an architectural consultant for local utility company Eversource at a number of sites around the Greater Boston Area, including Downtown, the Seaport, South Boston, East Boston, and Everett. Station 99, located within the Raymond Flynn Marine Park, is built to accommodate increased demand in the rapidly expanding Seaport District. Utile was tasked with creating an enclosure design that responded both to the functional needs of the client and the aesthetic concerns of the Boston Planning and Development Agency. The main equipment platform is elevated to mitigate potential flooding from storm surge at the harbor-side location, and provide access for service vehicles on the lower level.Architecturally finished precast concr...

Larcore® A2 aluminium honeycomb panel for architectural enclosures
Lightweight metal panel with aluminium honeycomb core larcore® A2 is a top-quality architectural wall cladding panel that has been fully tested and certified to provide the strength and flexibility required for the most demanding design criteria. It’s manufactured by Alucoil® with aluminium face sheets bonded to an aluminium honeycomb core.
An innovative solution that reduces the substructure on the façade by 30%, but that can be executed with the traditional tools of the sector. Probably the lightest option despite its rigidity, non-combustible and with the best flatness on the market.
Applications
larcore® A2 aluminium honeycomb panels are highly recommended for use in ventilated façades, suspend... More

Project • By Miró Rivera Architects • Private Houses
Hill Country House
Conceived as a prototype for a sustainable rural community, the Hill Country House serves as a beacon to show what could be: a self-sustaining home in a rural setting, virtually independent of municipal water and energy. Situated on a sweeping Texas Hill Country meadow, this private residence is defined by a series of jagged roof peaks inspired by the rise and fall of the surrounding hills. Lovingly referred to as “The Sanctuary” by its owners, an active couple of ordained ministers, and executed on a very modest budget, this modern take on the farmhouse vernacular is a place to bring people together and find spiritual renewal in a responsible, sustainable setting. The exterior of the home is defined by clean lines, a sculptural gable... More

Hampton Brass
Super Metal Future is our most ambitious collection architecturally and is an expression of our accumulated knowledge thus far. In sharp contrast to last year’s visually assertive collection with Marcel Wanders (The Chameleon Collection) featuring bold lines and strong geometry, Super Metal Future instead reduces metal into simple terms and pure forms with strong attention to texture, reflection, luminosity all paired with simple or natural colors. Most of what you see here is raw aluminum with pearlescent ink and texture, all sealed with a new technology lumiflon exterior clear coat, creating a pure manifestation of what we believe will be the future of metal...

Product • By Pure + FreeForm • Frozen Hairline
Frozen Hairline
Frozen Hairline takes your typical grey zinc, and ices it out. Layers or pearlized metallic ice interlay heathered gray zinc, done in a clear coat process over milled aluminum. Between these layers we add a layer of color changing pearl ink, so that depending on the time of day outside or light source, the design changes from a pure frozen pearl to dark heathered gray. The hairline pattern of the zinc is also enlarged by about 50% to create a bit more depth from a distance, allowing that brushed hairline to come to life. More
Product • By Pure + FreeForm • VINTAGE NICKEL
VINTAGE NICKEL
Vintage Nickle is a clear coat aluminum finish that adds an extreme layer of automotive matte silver on top with some distress creating a finish that is at once reflective in a stainless way in direct light, but subtle and almost cementitious in others. Probably the most versatile of release, it is absolutely killer in corrugated panels due to the shadow lines. Due to the fact we are starting with a clear coat on the aluminum panels, there will be some subtle changes in color depending on the batch of aluminum, so there will be some natural variation between some panels. More
Product • By Pure + FreeForm • Deco Bronze
Deco Bronze
Deco Bronze is yet another featured clear coat, but this time with the addition of gloss matte. There is a distinct art deco feel to this bronze color, but rather than creating a geometric finish, we opted for a more antiqued distressing, making it more flexible. Taking on both brass and bronze qualities, this is certainly one of the most specific finishes of the offering, but also the most elegant. Amazing in a corrugated or plate panel, this would also allow for a very elegant interior ceiling. More
Product • By Pure + FreeForm • Silvered Wood
Silvered Wood
Silvered Wood was developed for a retrofit of a building in the suburbs of Tokyo, in a sunshade application, and is the most avant garde of our current work. It’s essentially a metallic wood, similar to a gelatin silvered photo, but in a cross cut pear wood, and so it displays a large scale distinctive grain that holds its form from distance. The reflection and diffusion of light off this is amazing; it features a rose gold and yellow gold pearl that offer some amazing tones not seen before in natural metals. Again a clear coat, there will be subtle metallic base metal color changes based on the type of aluminum used. More
Product • By Pure + FreeForm • Frozen Titanium
Frozen Titanium
The blackening of Titanium is a difficult process and typically requires a nickel or copper plated layer to allow this process to happen. We took a frozen silver nickel pearl and generously brushed the surface; the result is at once simple and incredible. The dark anthracite metal color is accented by a beautiful, profound blue silver pearl, allowing for a more cool, approachable and versatile finish. One of the more luxurious blacks in the market right now. More
