TOYA (Towards Your Aspiration) – Root House

Modern architecture adopts traditional elements, that are present in Bucharest city, in order to compose a unique private residency. Strict tilts, and clear lines create a magical and harmonious material combination. The reflective attribute of the metal ceiling manages to decrease -at least in appearance- the size and the vertical structure of the house. Similarly, the bricks with earthly colors on the wall, offer unification between interior spaces, balconies, garden, and green areas. Caption Symmetrically in relation to the building, two rooftops are extended in the front and back area of the house, forming protected exterior spaces for the residents, that they wish to enjoy their time there. Many aspects stand out: Jacuzzi,... More

Harvard Undergraduate House Renewal Winthrop House

Winthrop House, comprised of two Neo-Georgian former freshman dormitory buildings from 1913, had undergone few upgrades since its construction. The renewal program re-envisioned Winthrop’s residential, academic, social, and co-curricular spaces and addresses technical challenges, including significant envelope upgrades, the installation of all-new mechanical systems, and detailed restoration work for the House’s signature public spaces.

Aged Iron

Aged iron is based on the authentic cast iron of yesteryear. However, one of the properties of cast iron is that it starts to rust, so the servants had to give the fitting a coat of black paint every year. Of course, such days are gone, which is why we developed a rustproof alloy for you that is treated with a special wax layer. This not only has the advantage of being maintenance-free, but also allows natural weathering to take its course. Gradually, the natural colour of the metal shows through in some places, resulting in a lovely range of hues and a warm, slightly weather-beaten appearance. This Living Finish is irreversible, but not for nothing is the material known as 'Aged' Iron. More

Showcase Garrison Church Potsdam

A Showcase made of HAVER Architectural Mesh as a long-lasting protection against vandalism and robbery. The Garrison Church in Potsdam by architect Philipp Gerlach (1679-1748) was one of the outstanding buildings of the North German Baroque. Destroyed in the 2nd World War and demolished in the GDR, the church is now going to be rebuilt. As one of the first parts of the church the golden weather vane, consisting of a gold-plated crown, an eagle and a crowned monogram of Friedrich Wilhelm I., was faithfully reconstructed. After six month of construction, the golden weather vane could be presented for the first time. To advertise for the reconstruction project, the golden weather vane is located closed to the construction area of... More
