May 22, 2022 Luciana Pejić 0

On the last building plot in the prestigious Nordhavn in Copenhagen, Arkitema has designed the eye-catching cinema BIG BIO, which is Denmark’s first sustainable cinema. The vision was to create a cultural building that adds something extraordinary to the Århusgade area in Copenhagen’s new city district Nordhavn and at the same time contributes to strengthening the special identity that the district already possesses.

Douglas Fir House / Christian Brailey Architects

May 22, 2022 Luciana Pejić 0

Shoehorned into the back of a beautiful Edwardian terraced property, the existing studio was entirely unloved and underwhelming. Every inch of the wall was stained orange by cigarette smoke, the single glazing was falling out of its rotten frames and the whole place was uninsulated. This resulted in high levels of damp and extreme black mold. However, there was an opportunity in this property, which lay in its ‘good bones’ and the abundant, overgrown private garden.

50 Avenue Montaigne Transformation / FRESH Architectures

May 17, 2022 Luciana Pejić 0

The rehabilitation of 50 avenue Montaigne is part of a global reflection on the sustainable city, including the transformation of the existing building and its adaptation to societal issues, whether functional or environmental. The construction of the city itself must be considered in a long-term vision of environmental improvement and user well-being. By revealing the essence of 50 Montaigne, by enhancing it, we give it the opportunity to be part of a contemporary dynamic, by adapting it to the uses of its time and those of tomorrow.

Blue House / studio gamp!

May 17, 2022 Luciana Pejić 0

The architectural firm gamp! has finished planning two Villas in Montefiascone. Two houses, one for the clients themselves, and one for their friends to use during weekends and holidays. Three houses – two above ground and a third underground – which were designed on the renovation of two tuff buildings dedicated to the deposit of agricultural machinery and from which the sediment was inspired, stand in the Tuscia land-scape, a gentle countryside, dotted with tall oaks. The architects explain that “the idea was to imagine simple, almost archetypical, houses, which would blend harmoniously with the almost intact landscape of the Tuscia without altering its balance, retracing an established image, without giving up on the characteristics of a modern project.”
