LIVING SLABS

‘LIVING SLABS - A FAMILY HOME IN JUHU’ Nestled along the shores of Northern Bombay, the seaside neighborhood of Juhu has long held a distinctive place in the city's urban imagination. Juhu was planned as a gridded development of residential plots during the 1950s. The area has since developed into a luxurious seaside district, characterised by its eclectic juxtaposition of architectural tastes and time periods.   JAVIER CALLEJAS JAVIER CALLEJAS This building is a reconstruction of one of these original multi-generational family homes in Juhu. Our intention here was to allow this development to take the stage as new, whilst drawing on the original charm of Bombay balconies and outdoor living. The interiors, in no... More

AZENGAR®

AZENGAR is the 1st engraved zinc, an exclusive new aspect. Its uneven surface gives zinc a new image. With AZENGAR, VMZINC commercializes the next generation of zinc with an engraved and lighter aspect that multiply the opportunities for innovation. Designed to imitate nature’s unpredictability, the rawness of AZENGAR is achieved with a surface treatment of Natural zinc. With its range of light grey color variances wider that exceed those of QUARTZ-ZINC and ANTHRA-ZINC, AZENGAR stands alone with a deeply textured and heterogeneous surface that accentuates characteristics of the zinc while demonstrating the randomness of nature.

Nordic Pool Erstein

The new Nordic pool in Erstein is an extension of the existing aquatic center, whose expressive architecture is surprising: shell-shaped, garish colors, large bay windows. The Nordic extension project takes the opposite approach to the existing building thanks to a refined and sober expression.  Guillaume Porche Guillaume Porche Guillaume Porche Guillaume Porche The new 25m outdoor pool is located at the heart of a strongly connoted space that is perceived as a patio or an "open-air room." This new place is an outdoor space perceived as a warm interior, a setting that accommodates the stainless steel pool.
