House in Kohama / Shimpei Oda Architect’s Office + Loowe Inc.

February 18, 2023 Hana Abdel 0

This is a renovation of a three-story steel-framed house. At the time of our first visit to the property, the interior had already been dismantled, revealing Etruscan reddish columns, beams, and deck plates. The building consisted of an open plan with a balcony on every floor. Each floor had windows in different positions and sizes; making it possible to imagine the small rooms each floor was once separated into. The light coming in from the various openings made the space very attractive in its unintentional style.

In addition to being a “manufacturing factory” as a manufacturing base, the factory is also expected to be a “transmitting factory” that emphasizes the CSR and technological capabilities of the company. As a landmark in harmony with the environment of Nirasaki, this project demanded that TGK’s advanced technologies be disseminated to customers in the automobile industry in local and global regions. Therefore, automation technologies that utilize IoT are used in each process to optimize quality, costs, and delivery times as a smart factory.

Shel House / Phenotype

February 18, 2023 Pilar Caballero 0

It’s one thing to experience a space that erases all traces of urbanism, that awes you with its sheer magnitude of beauty and grandeur, and another altogether, to build in that environment a dwelling that encapsulates this emotion for its inhabitants. Anica Kochhar, Principal Architect of Phenotype Architecture Studio, discovered that the relationship with home can be as personal as the one shared with nature, and it is the symbiosis of these parallel sentiments that led to the creation of this quaint 15,000 sq feet homestay Shel in the picturesque Ladakh region of northern India.

The project began when the owner | architect | developer envisioned co-locating a program of home and office into a live | work environment in an urban location. And inspired by requests for space in the building after the initial occupancy, the unused lower level was recently repurposed into a co-work office space, effectively making the entire building a “shared” workspace.

Vilarinha House / A2OFFICE

February 18, 2023 Andreas Luco 0

The architectural project for this house was born simultaneously from a void and from a dance: the unbuilt space of the patio separates and unites the two volumes that make up the intervention and seem to want to communicate through dance. The house sought to create a relationship of dialogue, not only with the urban front in which it operates but also with the immediate surroundings. Taking into account that this is an area in the process of constructive and use transformation, the basic premise was to design the building in relation to the pre-existing structures, but also, and above all, to endow it with characteristics that would allow it to dialogue in the future with new neighboring constructions, something that was confirmed, since new contiguous buildings appeared in the meantime.
