June 2, 2019 Romullo Baratto 0

Among the most renowned and well-established offices in the world, OMA – Office for Metropolitan Architecture, founded in the 1970s by Rem Koolhaas, Elia Zenghelis, Madelon Vriesendorp, and Zoe Zenghelis, is definitely part of the pantheon of the most famous. Curiously, although it receives large commissions and has already built several emblematic works in different countries, the office is often associated with an approach that is less focused on architectural design, going beyond the strict limits of the disciplinary field and encompassing other areas of practice.

June 2, 2019 Daniel Tapia 0

Cake and Breakfast is a breakfast cafe, located in the 19th-century building in the very center of St. Petersburg. Preserving the interior contrast was the main wish of the customers, so we combined cute details, pink color, and brutality of concrete. There is a bar counter for takeaway orders on the 1st floor and two rooms for a pleasant breakfast on the 2nd floor.

Renovating Town House the Pine / Studio Glume

June 1, 2019 舒岳康 - SHU Yuekang 0

The house we renovating is located in a townhouse residential area built in the 1930s of Shanghai. All the residential houses in this community are in brick and wood construction, and the inside volume and outline of each building are identical as well. There are many excellent buildings preserved in Shanghai during the Republic of China, however, these residential houses of this district are lacking in both design and construction quality. More than half a century passed, each generation of residents in the community has shown a variety of appearances as the internal structure and the facade changed a lot. By redesigning and reconstructing, we want to create a residential building that is independent of the surrounding environment in terms of visual and lifestyle.

Yorkville North Kindergarten / IDO

I. Restrictions & Requests
The project is a kindergarten situated at Yorkville North, a residential compound developed by Hongkong Land in Liangjiang New District, Chongqing, China. It was built on a smooth and level site, near an urban road and built residential high rises to the south, a green park to the west, and residential blocks under construction to the north and east. With a land area of 3,330 m2 and construction area of 2,701 m2, it will accommodate 9 classes. The site is relatively cramped from the perspective of the quantity of classes. For a kindergarten, providing a pleasant space and environment is very necessary, so the key issue that IDO had to think about was how to create a safe, healthy, human-oriented and playful educational space on the limited site.
