The original purpose of the project was to restore an old alley of trees on the countryside from the 17th century. The alley was vulgarly fragmented in the 1960s by a highway expansion. Trees made out of corten steel, located on either side of the highway (E4) restores the alley. On two of the trees a digital billboard is mounted. The design of the leaves and branches has been abstracted to resemble, both leafless winter trees and lush summer trees. Head architects: Erika Janunger & Peter Sahlin, Ps Arkitektur. More

The architect purchased this property and decided to move into the existing house while phasing construction projects. The intention is for the project to be a laboratory for architectural experiments. The site is in the country in a wooded area with rolling hills. The views are to the west and south. The existing house is located on the highest ground of the site on the edge of where the trees meet the native prairie grass meadow. Ideas that informed the project: 1) The project has been built by the architect with his own hands. Each of the last 4 summers, college architecture students have been hired to assist with the design and construction. Each piece of the project was designed and then constructed, which allowed the...

Broadcasting Place is a mixed use development close to Leeds city centre. Conceived as a public/private partnership for property group Downing and Leeds Metropolitan University, it provides approximately 110,000 square feet of new offices and teaching spaces together with 240 student residences in a landmark building rising to 23 storeys. A new Baptist Church completes the scheme on its northern edge. The buildings are conceived as solid landscape forms which draw on Yorkshire’s rich geological and sculptural heritage. The lower buildings rise as a continuous rake from 3 storeys, adjacent to low rise listed buildings, up to 5 storeys. The taller buildings drop from 8 storeys down to 6 before rising to the scheme’s highest point of 23 s... More

In 1811, during the Napoleonic Wars, the main arch of the "Pont Trencat" was destroyed. No one tried to repair it for almost one hundred and ninety years until 1996, when people from the two villages the bridge links, Sant Celoni and Santa Maria de Palautordera, situated fifty kilometers north-east of Barcelona, decided to create the Associació Pont Romà 2000 in order to raise funds to carry out its restoration. Archaeological works and documentary research were first carried out in order to obtain the available information about the history and the construction sequence of the bridge. Remains of the disappeared arch were found as well as part of the old paving on both banks. Despite it is said to be a Roman bridge —it is placed on the Roma... More

The East Beach Cafe was created by mother and daughter team Jane Wood and Sophie Murray. Both residents of Littlehampton, an opportunity arose for them to buy a beachfront site with planning permission for a business - the only site on a beautiful, unspoilt seafront – and they realised they could create something really special for the town, not just architecturally but economically, by building a stunning piece of architecture and creating a destination restaurant. They wanted to create something different, something spectacular that would not only enhance the natural landscape, but put Littlehampton firmly on the map. Jane and Sophie are both passionate about great food and decided to open and run the restaurant together, rather tha... More

29-Jan-2018 Introduction The Dovecote Studio forms part of the internationally renowned music campus at Snape Maltings, founded by Benjamin Britten in abandoned industrial buildings on the Suffolk coast. Snape Maltings is a nationally important complex of Grade 2 listed industrial buildings, many of them still derelict. The plan for their regeneration included expansion of the music campus, better landscaping, provision of a new visitor centre, and construction of a musicians’ café. The Dovecote Studio completes the project with a studio for visual artists within one of the most sensitive structures on site, the ruin of a dovecote located prominently on the edge of the marsh. Although small in scale, the Dovecote Studio adds significantly... More

In the Laurentians, a dense forest on a slight hill, down-turns into the expansion of a small river. Through the trees, the body of a black building is divided into three blocks linked by glass passageways. Three blocks of a home, mid-level from each other, are all in direct contact with the earth. Three blocks of proper identity, offering intimacy between each and open to nature: - An entry block, open on two levels and includes the adolescents quarters and family room. - A daytime block, central space, friendly, opens onto the terrace. - A private block, owners suite, isolated from the rest of the home. On the north/east side of the house, a large section of bent corten steel connects the blocks together while defining a series of... More

The building is located in an historic area on the edge of Auckland’s (New Zealand) CBD. The front of the site addresses the high street which is dominated by a rich mixture of Victorian and Edwardian buildings. Most of these buildings have fallen into varying states of disrepair over recent decades. A strong contrast belies the urban condition of this high street against the parallel service street to the rear of the site. The back street is primarily a service lane and has remained largely undeveloped and unplanned through its evolution. Its streetscape is therefore architecturally unconsidered and haphazard in its appearance. The building is conceived as a manifestation of a cross contamination of the two contrasting street conditi... More
