Little Granite House / BRD Studio

March 18, 2023 Hana Abdel 0

The core driving idea for this project was for our clients to live connected to their site and its surrounding context. As such the home does not take precedence over the surrounding context instead forming a homologous relationship to existing agricultural infrastructure. This was achieved through the formal composition of a simple gable shape with the extraction of elements to create apertures for outdoor life. Material selection wrestled a framework of local availability, bushfire protection, shade, maintenance, and patina.

Vidyakula International School / Sudaiva Studio

March 18, 2023 Hana Abdel 0

Upon initial presentation of the site for the proposed international school, the captivating view along the principal east-west axis to the distant ‘Haddina Kallu’ hills influenced the design approach. Located in rural Karnataka, spanning 4 acres and situated off the National Highway NH75, the site features a tree-lined landscape sloping 30 feet towards the west. Working with the sloping terrain, the design was thoughtfully crafted as a series of interconnected levels. The central spine, which is open to the sky and runs linearly, is flanked by classrooms and offers framed views of the hills from both the reception area and classroom corridors.

March 18, 2023 Hana Abdel 0

Flamingo’s name references upbeat tropical modernism that marries serious European design of the twenties and thirties, with the flamboyant luxury of the great coastal resort cities of Miami, Rio & Honolulu. Flamingo is playfully and frivolously sculpted, like Bauhaus on heat. One block away from the sea, the holiday apartments range from 25m² studios to 29m² 1-bedroomed corner units, spanning nine storeys on a site no more than 525m² in extent.

Four Buildings in Avenida Brasil / Aurora Arquitectos + Furo

March 18, 2023 Andreas Luco 0

The site and the great height difference between the street fronts were the generating principles to create four volumes of semi-detached houses. Each of the eight houses is organized into three levels, with the middle level being the social floor. Conceptually, this floor is an open plan divided by functional volumes that house the kitchen, a bathroom, or a closet. The façade is completely glazed. The fluidity of the plan and the transparency of the façade are combined to give the perception of continuity between the interior floor and the landscaped exterior surface that covers the garage and is at the same level as this floor.

House JC / Bakermat atelier voor architectuur

March 18, 2023 Elisabeth Kostina 0

The ground floor of this typical Flemish townhouse consists of an entrance hall, and garage with an adjoining room furnished as an artist’s studio. The house had a typical extension with a kitchen, bathroom, and toilet. The degraded condition of this cramped extension became a strong argument for tearing it down. Instead, a new extension over the entire width of the main volume offers space for a dining room and kitchen. The artistic residents desired a strong graphic design for the expansion. Their dream was an extension with a reflection of their personality: colorful, graphic, dynamic, and daring.
