October 21, 2022 Bianca Valentina Roșescu 0

AMN student housing is a government pilot project in Surabaya, Indonesia, which provides accommodation, training, and vocational education for university and polytechnic students of multiple ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. Indonesia has over 1340 ethnic groups spread all over the islands. Selected students are invited and assembled from all provinces and remote locations to experience pluralistic living: mingling and socializing beyond their own ethnic group. As part of the program, the operator provides language training, art and music lessons, a nutrition program in the dining hall, and recycling workshops, among other activities during their stay. SHAU was commissioned by the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, which facilitated the planning and construction. The detailed engineering drawing is delivered by PT Tisaga Konsultan.

Sidiz Flagship Store / Betwin Space Design

October 21, 2022 Bianca Valentina Roșescu 0

Brands use space-like media to convey their philosophy to consumers. However, as flagship stores are popping up like mushrooms, it is common for the space to be filled with splendid productions and eye-catchers rather than containing the brand’s vision and identity. On the other hand, SIDIZ’s flagship store attracts attention by faithfully capturing the essence and direction of its pursuit based on a solid brand philosophy.

House in Kohshien / FujiwaraMuro Architects

October 21, 2022 Bianca Valentina Roșescu 0

At the time of construction, the street that this lot sits on was only about two meters wide, and the street leading there was narrow as well, making transportation of construction materials difficult. Because the street had a lived-in feeling from the neighboring houses, we envisioned it as an extended approach to the house we were building.

‘Timeless Value’ The place is located near Mt. Gwanggyo on the outskirts of Yongin City. Locational conditions and the system of ‘No Takeaway’ and ‘No Plug No Wi-fi’ may be inconvenient for customers. Nevertheless, we encourage customers to enjoy the analog time, away from digital for a while, for complete ‘resting’ and ‘relaxing’ in nature.

Sóc’s House / H.2

October 19, 2022 Bianca Valentina Roșescu 0

Sóc’s House was built on an area of 70 m2 in an alley view up to the mountain, located on Phan Chu Trinh street (also known as “Foreigner town”) around 600 m from the beach. The owner’s goal is to have a simple, discreet outside, but modern and fully functional inside space. The house also clearly shows the personality of the owner with a romantic space, filled with green trees and raw, rustic materials.

Hide and Seek Apartments / Valerie Schweitzer Architects

Inspired by the palm tree, the nature-centric apartment building in west LA provides a sense of nurture to the entire street in a post-pandemic age. It incorporates the local flora in unique ways including the site’s roughly 90-year-old sycamore, with a playful treehouse effect. The 15-unit structure, LEED Gold, heightens our awareness of nature’s interplay with the man-made that marks Los Angeles. It does so with a mix of natural and industrial materials: Corten steel, insulated glazing, board form concrete, salvaged wood, and palm trees on all floors.

GRANHAND Store / Studio Motif

October 17, 2022 Bianca Valentina Roșescu 0

GRANHAND is a fragrance brand that pursues comfort in daily life and studies related scents and products under the motto of “Daily fragrance”. Some say the perfumer composes fragrance as a composer builds a note. Deciding which material to choose and how to arrange resembles space design. The first word from GRANHAND was about the material, and the material was wood. Many terms are related to wood, in the language used in perfume.  In the space where the wood was planned to be used we researched the wood’s various textures and the method of expression.
