Renovation of Northwest University Swimming Pool

 In a continuously evolving urban environment, past spaces and memories are constantly overlaid by new traces. Rather than simply preserving or erasing them, this project asks how architecture can intervene in this process, enabling layered temporal traces to be perceived and extended. Yuanbo Jia & Zhijun Lei The project is located on the campus of Northwest University in Xi’an, within an abandoned open-air swimming pool. Once an important social space for students and nearby residents, the site gradually became an enclosed and marginal area after years of disuse. Despite this, its surface retains a rich accumulation of traces, forming a distinct spatial memory. Yuanbo Jia & Zhijun Lei The design adopts minima... More

Dione House

In the heart of the sunny Brazilian cerrado, in the Cruzeiro do Sul condominium in Goiânia, Casa Dione camouflages itself within the landscape. The couple, with three children, desired a house that could fully open to the backyard, allowing the children to run freely — and that, when necessary, could be easily closed. Edgard Cesar Edgard Cesar Edgard Cesar Edgard Cesar With that in mind, the architectural concept started from the idea of "lifting" the house off the ground, integrating indoor and outdoor spaces, eliminating physical and visual barriers. Thus, the social area — consisting of the living room, dining room, kitchen, playroom, barbecue area, and garage — occupies the ground floor. Mean... More

House in Zielona Góra

The starting point for the design of this house was to fit a shape on a plot with a rather difficult trapezoidal contour, with a not very beneficial location in relation to the sides of the world - the entrance to the plot is located on the south side. One of the instructions from our investors was their dream of having an outdoor swimming pool, which is to be bathed in sunlight for most of the day to naturally heat the water. It was no easy task to simultaneously provide the investors with privacy and comfort while relaxing on the terrace and by the pool. TRZY.BE ARCHITEKCI TRZY.BE ARCHITEKCI The program called for a spacious living area on the first floor, with a kitchen separated with doors. A pantry, a walk-in closet, a two-c... More

Durmebad Lokeren

The new swimming pool turns Sports Complex Lokeren into a logical ensemble. The building is positioned in such a way that the existing trees along the Sportlaan remain and guide the route to the swimming pool. With a clear entrance that guides visitors to the heart of the complex in a natural way. The pool itself looks modest on purpose. As a result of the fully transparent plinth, daylight can generously enter and social control is optimized. Besides, it allows for passers-by to see the swimmers inside the complex – and even the landscape on the other side of the water is visible. With the natural wooden roof construction, visible on the inside, and the application of burnt wood in the facades, the building is in harmony with the sur... More

Kish Armitaj Hotel

The development of Kish in terms of tourism has led to the construction of new urban texture and buildings in the city to attract tourists and it can be noted that hotels are a potential platform that attracts tourists in the city texture according to their architectural-environmental factors. Caption Hotels were usually used as a temporary place for passengers' accommodation where provided services and products just for their guests. But nowadays this system is changed and we have faced the question in this plan and it leads us to this question that: Caption Is it possible to create various uses and functions in the hotel, including lively activities and social interactions that affect both the form and the structure, and how c...

Villa Zoe

This project started with the intention to harmonise the existing volumes in a contemporary key, with particular focus on the enhancement of the external areas. A prior study of the orientation and the solar path and a geometric analysis of the existing structure allowed the maximum employment of the daylight and its dark shades.From an architectonic point of view, the existing volumes, resulting from a “spontaneous” growth of the construction system, have been brought back to a unitary vision through a simple morphological scheme, which is able to re-establish a dynamic balance between simple and readable shapes. The connection with the tradition is possible thanks to the use of local materials and technologies, originally part of the loca... More
