As the city continues to evolve and transform, dead edges in the cityscape begin to emerge, subsequently reducing the level of activity in our built environment. These ‘dead edges’ refer to the areas that lack active engagement, they remain empty and deprived of people, since they no longer present themselves as useful or appealing. As the Covid-19 pandemic draws to an ultimate close, the first issue we may face post-pandemic is to revive our urban environment. A kiss of life into a tired and outdated cityscape…

Naked House is located in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, in the historic working-class neighborhood of Guanarteme, which in recent years has become the victim of the unbridled urban growth of the city. This expansion has abruptly transformed the surrounding urban fabric, in which large-scale buildings coexist with humble self-built homes. The project, which is an intervention of one of these old houses, was born as an opportunity to claim another way of living, as an exercise of recovery and enhancing that which already exists and understanding the historical and cultural context in which the original architecture took place as its main asset.
Three houses and a yard form the maintenance area of the Golf & Ski Resort in Ostravice. At the project’s beginning, many considerations were raised about the role of architecture and urbanism in the field of purely pragmatic purpose-built facilities. Today’s hectic world bound by economic criteria usually does not leave much space to design these buildings other than by following the most economical architectonic, urbanistic, and material solutions. Approaching the brief the other way round became both a clear philosophy and a challenge to our design.

TEKUNIDUA, Brings Out The Real Style of Asian Architecture Today. TEKUNIDUA is an apartment living project with 4 garden rooms, 4 standard rooms, 4 suite rooms, and one penthouse stands in an 800sqm area with a 1000 sqm floor area. Inspired by Asian Architecture, DDAP Architect boasts of Asia’s diversity of materials, spaces, and scales as a potential character and a soul for the project. Located in a busy area of Kuta Bali, TEKUNIDUA offers a new skyline to the streetscape, its play with massing, height, protrude, and recessed facade. The client wants a similar set of the aesthetic principles of the previous Ruang Tekuni and to bring an oasis in urban peak areas. DDAP plays with scale, lighting, shadow, breeze, winds, and also scents to respond to the senses and tension of the user.
On an ocean front mountain top between tall grasses and acacia forests, rugged curvaceous walls blur the boundaries between architecture and landscape to define public and private spaces of an 8 room retreat. The retreat, thus named Wandering Walls, is a building where the walls “wander” throughout like flowing ribbons. The remote location is susceptible to gale-force winter winds, sea salt in the atmosphere, and had no access road prior to construction. Furthermore, the lack of skilled construction labor and the shoestring project budget drove the decision to use cast in place concrete early on at the concept phase for its climatic endurance, ease of transport and storage on site.
The Choice Headquarters office is located at Amphoe Mueang, Chiang Mai. The area is surrounded with a treasure of culture, especially local Thai architecture elements, such as Long-kao(rice harvest house), Wall of Chiang Mai(such as Suan dok gate), or Thai traditional terrace. These elements are divisibly applied to modern architecture and architecture in nature. The architecture is simply planning and functions; reinforce concrete structure with four floor height. The key is courtyard centered which brings natural sunlight to architecture.
