Modular House TOPOL 27 / BIO-architects

February 1, 2022 Valeria Silva 0

We dreamed of creating a house that the buyer would be able to pick up from the warehouse on their own, install on their own on the same day and immediately begin using, without wasting time on finishing, selecting furniture, kitchens, dishes, and decor. Our new product “TOPOL 27” is exactly like that. We have put all the functions in one module and you no longer need to assemble a house from separate blocks. In 27 square meters, there are 5 functional areas: a bedroom, kitchen, living room, bathroom, and dressing room – a maximum of comfortable space on a minimum area. And all this arrives in one car and got installed on the foundation.

Light as a Design Statement: Creative Ways to Use Artificial Lighting

February 1, 2022 Valeria Montjoy 0

Light serves an essential purpose in architecture: to help us see. Whether it be through natural or artificial methods, rooms must be illuminated accordingly so occupants can safely inhabit them and fulfill their daily functions. When the right system is selected, light can also contribute to energy efficiency and sustainability within the building as a whole. However, apart from its evident functional and environmental value, lighting design can vastly impact the visual comfort and aesthetic tone of interiors by drawing attention to textures, enhancing colors and defining volumes. Therefore, of the many pieces involved in interior design, lighting is certainly one that can enhance or destroy a space and even affect users’ well-being, which is why it should be considered a crucial design element by itself.

Love pt. II Sports Facilities / Label Architecture

February 1, 2022 Paula Pintos 0

Amidst the green hills surrounding the city of Charleroi lies the sports centre ‘La ferme du Château’. This complex, split in two by a meandering street, comprises two distinct poles. The first one – Love pt. I, an old dependency of a castle – houses the administration and overnight accommodation of the centre. A bit higher on the hill, on a plateau backed by the forest and dominating the street, we find the second pole, Love pt. II, which englobes all the sporting facilities.
