Finnish office Lahdelma & Mahlamäki architects have won the competition to design a new high-rise district in Helsinki.

Located in the Pasila district, the project is called Trigoni as a reference to the triangular plan of the towers and the desire to create strong connections around sustainable development.

NUB / Amunt

After a long search, a couple with two children purchased a townhouse in a workers’ housing estate in Stuttgart. The house – which originally dates from the 1930s and was reconstructed in the 1950s – is built on a sloping site typical for Stuttgart. With its small, roughly square plan of 6.85 x 7.30 meters, it rises like a tower four stories above the property. The house is entered from a small front yard on the north side. The ground floor was too small to accommodate a kitchen, living room, and dining area for the family and also had no direct access to the garden on the south side.

Located on the  Girona PGA golf course, the house seeks the best views of the place where it is located. The project is resolved with two extruded spaces, two overlapping volumes, in which the upper one moves in the direction of the lake in front of it giving rise to a cantilever that seeks to generate a large terrace in shade.
