ONEHUNDREDONM

Cape Town’s Sea Point Main Road Cape Town's Sea Point Main Road has a layered, eclectic architectural language, which reflects decades of design influences from decorative Victorian and Edwardian to quirky Art Deco, streamlined mid-century modernism and more recent urban infill. However, despite its distinctive popularity, these conditions have left the street fragmented in parts. This offers a particular challenge for developers and architects. Designed by dhk Architects for Blok, ONEHUNDREDONM is an example of how the adaptive reuse of heritage buildings and contemporary design can combine to transform the urban character from late-century neglect to contemporary vibrancy in a small pocket of a much-loved neighbourhood.

Residential Scheme in London

Visualization by 100CGI Studio for Mount Anvil: four exterior views of a residential scheme in London, delivered in 21 days with three revision rounds. The same set covered the planning submission and the off-plan sales material. 100CGI Studio 100CGI Studio A planning set and a marketing set are usually commissioned twice and paid for twice. That is waste, because the model is the same and only the dressing changes. The scheme was built once, the brickwork was matched and the way London light sits on glass was checked, and then the views were framed for their two audiences. 100CGI Studio The two audiences want different frames. A planning committee argues at street level: what the scheme does to the pavement, to daylight, t... More

COOPERATIVE HOUSING DIEBOLD-SCHILLING-STRASSE

 The two cooperative housing blocks at Diebold-Schilling-Strasse 29 and 31 are on a former housing estate built in the 1950s, which runs parallel to the hillside. In the spirit of urban densification, two residential buildings form the transition between the residential quarter and the historic Musegg Wall. Egemen Karakaya Egemen Karakaya Egemen Karakaya Egemen Karakaya In between lies an inner-city nature area, which is channelled by the precise positioning of the volumes and creates a connection from Hinter-Musegg-Park via Lucerne’s Biodiversity Garden to Wettstein-park. Through the fanning-out of the building volumes and the self-supporting balcony layers on the north and south façades, the building... More

Atami House

ATAMI taught us to seek the hidden potential within the historic and cultural fabric of a building, embrace it, and carry it forward into a new chapter of its life. The house presented itself as a traditional Japanese structure, with multiple rooms divided by shoji doors, low ceilings, and tatami floors. Masao Nishikawa Photography studio Masao Nishikawa Photography studio While inspecting for possible roof leaks, we uncovered a beautiful wooden frame with aged natural beams. We immediately recognized this as the building's hidden soul—a place where Japanese craftsmanship truly excelled, yet had remained unseen for decades. Masao Nishikawa Photography studio From that moment, we began to understand the house as a kind... More

itupeva house

Visits to the site sparked the desire to build a house that would blend into the landscape. We found large rocks on the land, which is protected by dense vegetation, that protruded from the steep slope of the southern portion. There's also a lake nearby, accessible via a short trail through the woods. The strategy for organizing the house took into account the family's dynamics: the house was built for a friendly couple in their late 80s, with five children, who in turn have families of partners and grandchildren. Rodrigo Fonseca Rodrigo Fonseca The extensive program is divided into a horizontal ground-floor pavilion for the couple, with a glued-laminated timber structure, combined with a set of bedrooms for their son and daught...
