Countryside Rambler

 Our Countryside Rambler is located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Because the whole house is situated on a hill, how you can enter the site was a design challenge we solved with a unique side entry system.

The house recast by Studio Ben Allen explores the potential of pigmented concrete

The House Recast by Studio Ben Allen explores the potential of one key material – pigmented concrete. Located in London, the house experiments with concrete not just structurally but also as an architectural finish. The concept draws inspiration from surrounding Victorian architecture, which is characterized by decorated and patterned load-bearing brick.

Architectural elements from stairs to counters, floors to sinks, benches to bathtubs to washbasins are all finished with pigmented concrete.

Waterflow generates the compelling vaulted form of Tokyo’s Tsuroaka House

Tsuruoka House by Kiyoaki Takeda Architects is a concept that attempts to sustain not only people but also nature. Sites are usually divided into ‘gardens’ and ‘houses,’ resulting in a relationship of nature and architecture being next to each other. Here the idea of stacking ‘garden’ and house’ is explored through a cross-sectional plan.  Masaki hamada (kkpo) This approach taken here goes against modern rooftop greening, which pursues thinner soil. Instead, the thickness of the soil was plotted to be as deep as possible to support a small forest hosting a diverse mixture of groundcover, shrubs, and small trees.  Masaki hamada (kkpo) Essential to supporting the substantial roof...

Szeged Cathedral renovation

In the international discourse on contemporary architecture it seems to be evident that intervention into historic buildings is always a sensitive issue. This is particularly the case when the project is not only a simple renovation, but there are alterations or additions to the original building – it is always difficult to find the balance between past and present, between the attitude of sheer preservation of a monument and the voice of contemporary architecture. Additions copying eariler times and contemporary impacts that ignore their context are the two extremities to avoid – the desireable solution lies somewhere in between. There is no ultimate recipe, the questions need to be asked and answered in every particular case. 3H architerc... More
