The Interplay of Water and Light Through a Sculptural Experience Shower

June 7, 2024 Eduardo Souza 0

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, with deadlines, goals, and performance, finding moments of tranquility is essential for maintaining overall well-being and peace of mind. These moments provide a necessary break from daily stresses, allowing the mind and body to reset and thoughts to reorganize. Rituals of relaxation can create a sanctuary of calm amidst the chaos, promoting a sense of balance and peace, providing a healthier and more harmonious lifestyle, and contributing to better physical and emotional health. However, these rituals need not be expensive or complex.

Beck Barn / Benjamin Wilkes

June 7, 2024 Hadir Al Koshta 0

Beck Barn is located on the periphery of the village of Linton-in-Craven, a Conservation Area within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, immediately adjacent to Grade II* listed Fountaine’s Hospital. The original barn is a typical example of vernacular construction associated with traditional farming practices commonly found throughout the National Park. These field barn structures make a major contribution to the wider landscape character and scenic beauty of the area. However, many of these structures are no longer suitable for modern agricultural practices, leaving them without purpose.

Scala Housing / AQMA

June 7, 2024 Hadir Al Koshta 0

The Scala project is located on the edge of the ZAC Presqu’ile in Grenoble. The plot enjoys a very favorable setting, surrounded by mountains and future buildings. At the corner of Rue de Nantes and Winston Churchill, the plot forms a south-facing “point,” which gives it a distinctive character to be highlighted. The challenge of the project was to take advantage of this exceptional situation by relying on urban prescriptions and organizing volumetrics that can interact with the surrounding and the future buildings along the central traverse of the block.

Makizham Thottam House / Second Ground

June 7, 2024 Hadir Al Koshta 0

The site is situated in the heart of the agrarian basin of Tamilnadu, with an absolute minimum built fabric. A small house amidst the farm, with minimum tampering of the environment and the earth of the land as a building material was, therefore, an appropriate way forward. The attempt is to use minimum steel and cement and maximize the use of earth, in the walls and roofing material. The design, therefore, is a careful marriage of the disciplines of alternate, yet ancient roofing systems, load-bearing walls, and spatial elements of the past such as thinnai (in-built seats) and courtyards, while reflective of the architecture that we practice today.
