LUME Restaurant / Estúdio Mangava

April 10, 2020 Valeria Silva 0

LUME. Light, fire, shine, clarity. The tropical climate is intense and variable, the sun, the rain and the winds must be considered physical elements and not only abstract of the architecture. And it was precisely the physical aspect of such elements that resulted in the vulnerability to climate instability, which guided the briefing of this project.

April 9, 2020 Valeria Silva 0

Urban environment. The DCA project is located in a very small lot of 105m2 of surface, in one of the most traditional residential areas of the City of Mendoza, whose urban environment consists mainly of buildings from the 60’s and 70’s located proximal to the General San Martín Park, the largest lungs in the city. The proposal comprises a continuity of the neighboring facades observing the existing buildings throughout the block. Thus, the morphology achieved follows the immediate urban environment, accounting for both pedestrian and vehicular needs.

365 Studio / Bogdanova Bureau

April 9, 2020 Valeria Silva 0

365 Studio occupies some part of the ground floor and the first floor in a new building in central Kyiv.  The key element of the project is the stairs with green steel banister. Above it, we hang up elegant pendant lamps by Ukrainian brand Noom. We had to cut out a part of the floor above and reinforce the building construction before it. 10 mm thick steel sheets for banister were cut and bent in advance to be welded on site. We built up a lifting tackle in the building which held every metal sheet and let weld them unsupported.
