The project is located in Quinta da Estrela which occupies a valley in Odemira, a landscape significantly altered over the last three decades. The slope surrounding the Quinta da Estrela house was removed to make way for a parking lot, isolating the building and causing structural issues due to the excavation.

Mouzinho da Silveira Building / Diana Barros Arquitectura

September 6, 2024 Valeria Silva 0

The building, located in the heart of Porto’s historic center, stands as a testament to the end of the 19th century. Comprised of 5 floors, it is intended for housing on the upper floors and commerce on the upper floor. As the street where it is located (Rua de Mouzinho da Silveira) is perfectly delimited by a continuous urban front and, for the most part, made up of residential buildings with commerce on the ground floor, from this perspective, the rehabilitated building essentially assumes , a role of continuity, contributing to the coherence and quality of the complex, not only from a programmatic point of view, but also in the treatment of the facades.

Giovanni Batista Piranesi was an Italian printmaker during the 18th century. His interest in the ruins of the Roman Empire led him to create an extensive catalog of reproductions. His fascination with these ruins in many cases led him to invent them, creating an imaginary world of ancient destroyed buildings. His legacy was a contribution to the formation of neoclassicism.

Clark Residence is conceived as a living gallery that constantly evolves and adapts to a variety of daily needs. This thoughtful design creates a peaceful environment, where each room offers a new perspective on the surrounding urban context. Throughout the residence, views are carefully highlighted and framed by the architecture, both outwards and inwards, inviting residents to engage with each element in a unique and intimate way. This dynamic approach transforms the house into a living, breathing space, encouraging exploration and discovery of traces from the past.

Casa B / Symbiose Architecture & Design

August 29, 2024 Hadir Al Koshta 0

The project concerns the renovation of a typical 70s detached house, where small openings and partitioned spaces were demolished to create open, transversal spaces. Inspired by the Mediterranean context, the project seeks to create a neutral, minimalist envelope connecting the architect’s values, the client’s identity and the natural, artisanal feel of the materials. The new spaces offer the freedom to adapt to everyday use. Furniture is designed as an integral part of the architecture. Planters and masonry steps in waxed concrete punctuate the differences in levels, integrating nature into the architecture.

A Multigenerational Renovation Project – Nestled in the heart of the Petit Laurier neighborhood of Montreal, the Triplex Fabre project perpetuates the architectural tradition of duplexes and triplexes that populate the streets of Plateau-Mont-Royal, a Montreal district where red brick, stone details, and ornamental cornices adorn the facades. The restoration of the original architectural components of the front facade preserves the project’s integration into the surrounding built environment; the simplicity of the reconstructed front balconies and staircase highlights the artisanal red clay brick and the new cornice.
