REPII represents the second part of a project carried out by the Office years ago. On this occasion, the concept of the project consisted of expanding the capacity to receive family or visitors. The word enlargement often assumes a meaning of expanding on the built, expanding a space “stretching” existing limits to conceive new spaces. For us, these new spaces should be conceived as spaces disconnected from the main house, allowing guests to enjoy privacy in intimate moments and thus make the most of contact with nature.

Miysis Studio has proposed combining a reconstruction of Notre-Dame’s spire with a modern glazed roof to “find the right balance between history and future” for the cathedral. The visualisation studio created the images as an idea of how the cathedral, which was devastated by fire last month, could be rebuilt using both traditional and modern elements.

Italian artist Federico Babina has published the latest in his impressive portfolio of architectural illustrations. “Planimal” seeks to convey the close link between architecture and the natural world, translating animals into architectural plans. Through his set of drawings, Babina reimagines the architectural spaces as “narrative subjects that host us and lead us into a fantastic labyrinth of a dreamlike reality, architectures imagined as allusively zoomorphic sculptures.”
Situated near the green woodlands in the north of Curitiba, residence SR32 occupies a 240-m² site with a slope of more than two meters longitudinally and three boundaries free from surrounding buildings, with the north-western portion facing a preserved green area and the northeast giving onto Bacacheri park, a local landmark. To benefit from these conditions the design established a south-facing blind gable (a legal requirement) and three facades opening on to the surrounding landscape. In terms of relief, the highest part of the site was used for the ground floor, benefiting from the slope to create a basement area, which is in fact practically level with the exterior elevation. These conditions, together with meeting low-cost requirements and making use of the space and views, meant that usage was arranged vertically, with the basement housing garage and storage, the ground floor with social and service areas, upper floor with personal spaces and the roof area for leisure activities and contemplation of the landscape. The connection between the different floors occurs by means of a steel staircase with steps set into the blind wall to the south. Steel cables provide protection and definition of the vertical circulation.
the system extends from the façade to the interior.
