Shelter

Under one roof Operated by the House of Joy and Mercy, a non-profit animal organization, the Shelter for Dogs and other Animals is a foster home for stray dogs and other abandoned animals. According to animal rights organizations, at least 4000 animals have been displaced as a result of the government’s North East New Territories New Development Planning. The shelter acts as a temporary settlement before these abandoned dogs find a new home. Jeremy Cheung We envisioned the shelter as a big canopy under which different lives have their own space while being able to engage with each other in oneness. Surrounding a tree, the pavilion hosts a number of programs, including six rooms for 50 dogs, a care room for sick dogs, a lounge,... More

The «Kashtan» DublDom home, as it’s called, so impressed the audience that many started dreaming about their serene residence surrounded by the forest.  Eventhough nature offers you a peaceful environment, it also poses a challenge for your dwelling. While planning this elevated home, we considered how the trees will affect the property and home experience.  Our goal was to provide a home to harmonize with its surroundings. Caption Typically, our firm prefers one storey houses, but in this project, we decided to explore. We still believe that on small plots and for year-round living, a one-story house is more convenient.  When you're surrounded by a tall forest, this provides another solution for creat... More

Skylab Architecture alongside 2.ink Studio, worked in close collaboration with Portland Parks to create a 16-acre park in a neighborhood of NE Portland. The design team developed the park around an integrated strategy that creates both passive native meadow areas that require limited maintenance as well as intensively used spaces that provide active program elements for park users. The neighborhood is home to many longstanding residences as well as an increasingly diverse range of new incoming ethnic groups. The park’s program elements were developed in coordination with area residents through a series of public open houses and ongoing meetings with the project’s Design Advisory Group.   The park’s development in...

The site has had a historical presence since the middle ages, and comprises a large barn (19thC), a small barn (19thC), a cottage (1960’s) and farmhouse (1960’s), clustered around an indeterminate yard. The most pressing organisational requirement was to re-order the various elements and give the site a new central feature in the yard, a 22 metre pond. The pond contains a “floating” pavilion which articulates the 2 main axis which connect existing openings and pull the disparate elements together. The pavilion is elliptical to reciprocate to the shape of the pond, and is made from oak, ash and cedar, with a standing seam roof. It is accessed by a bridge which in turn connects with the main house axis. It contains a glass viewing window t... More
