Media Library I CFA COLBOC FRANZEN & ASSOCIÉS Montauban I France I 2013

A media library is a markpoint in the city. Individuality and division, discovered and training, exchange and contemplation. A media library is an urban place, a center of common life, concrete conception of a shared culture. A media library is also an adventure place. Stories there are discovered: our story, others’s stories, fantastic stories. As the terra cotta vases protected the first parchments, the media library contains our universe. The media library of Montauban seeks to be this place with multiple facets. It is installed on a particular site, emblematic of the city development. This site is in the centre of a crossing of various routes. Kneecap between the Southern district restructured and the Eastern districts, input signal of the city; strongpoint with the door of the district, the media library must assume a driving role on an urban scale and this exceptional site scale. The project suggested principal axes of the district and the city, that they materialize in its volumetry. Outside, the building reacts to the meaning directions. Inside, the user locates himself through the characteristic sights on the urban environment. It is integrated clearly in its environmental and regional context thanks to its materiality: ground. Essential material, anchored in the architectural tradition is declined on the media library in all its alternatives: thick walls protecting from noise and heat guaranteeing maximum comfort.

Offices In Via Zumbini I BINOCLE Milan I Italy I 2011

In the outskirts of Milan two separate buildings are organized around a common courtyard. The first is the result of the transformation of an industrial structure from the 30’s, the second is a new construction. The complex features 17 office units available for small companies in search of a workplace to rent. The different characters of the buildings suggested an homogeneous, rather than distinguished, use of materials. The old and the new belong to a family, feature the same materials and present similar constructive solutions. Since the offices have been designed for unknown users their materials, colors and finishing are neutral and anonymous to encourage further customizations. 12 Ampelopsis quinquefolia inhabit the main façade on the courtyard. The climbers change appearance three times a year: they proliferate in spring and summer providing shade, they lose their leaves in winter letting the sun radiate the interiors and they turn completely red in the autumn to announce their forthcoming transformation.

Gazoline Petrol Station I DAMILANOSTUDIO ARCHITECTS Cuneo I Italy I 2011

The design of a service station is a strong reference to the idea of travel, short or long-distance routes interrupted only by a few stops and then back on the road. A break for refueling, or just to stretch a bit ‘legs before continuing his journey. With the same continuity, the service station is separated from the asphalt like a ribbon of road with the engine and wrapping around itself, creating a temporary volume to accommodate the traveler. The tape then sink back into the ground to continue to other destinations. The architecture of the service station, as usually conceived as a mere support function, thus acquires a shape.

The architecture, static by definition, becomes closely linked to the concept of continuous flow that envelops and becomes the urban landscape without interruption. The shell reinforced concrete, cast in special molds fluidized is closed by glass walls. Are distributed within the office manager and a self-service, separate bathrooms from the block in central position. On the rear elevation red steel block is detached from the body and a wolf howling, illuminated at night, draws attention to the urgent needs.

Hashi Mori I Affect Studio Berlin I Germany I 2012

Located in the heart of Berlin, this newly completed izakaya restaurant combines traditional Japanese materials and hand craft with 3D modeling and computer programming to form an atmospheric space for dining. Responding to the client’s wishes for a cozy space that establishes a visual identity for the restaurant while also maximizing table count, the entire design intervention is achieved without the use of a single wall. A 56 qm ceiling installation serves as the main design feature of the restaurant. By using the chopstick as a simple, repeating element, the project creates an immersive and highly intimate canopy over the space. The installation is made out of 13,454 hand drilled, stained, and threaded chopsticks, 57,400 knots, and over20 km of nylon and took a crew of 14 people three weeks to complete.

Centre for Automotive-Engineering I Walser Zumbrunn Wäckerli Winterthur I Switzerland I 2011

The competence centre for automotive-engineering STFW is situated on a narrow property between a main street and the river Toess. The buildings are arranged on an area of 500 meters length. A new building had to be added in the south-eastern part of the property to increase the centres capacity. It is intended for apprenticeship and on-the-job-training, for both theory and practice. Therefore we had to pay great attention to the different occupants. The facade was constructed in bended aluminium sheets referring to the work with auto body sheets.

Fresach Diocesan Museum I Marte.Marte Architekten Fresach I Austria I 2011

Where the village starts to cross over into nature, there is an intact ensemble of Protestant church, old meeting house, rectory and cemetery. The public square has been completed by a monolithic block placed on the gently rising land to the northeast. The foundation and main level divide the hermetic shell for the diocese’s church treasures, and bring the large cube into harmony with the scale of the surrounding buildings. On the ground floor, the foyer and the multi-functional temporary exhibition room blend into one spatial unit. Inside, one gets the impression of an open space spanning the entire width and running right up to the square in front, and light flows through a pendant into the ceiling area on the slope side. The permanent exhibition on the upper floor, a higher than expected, centred space, connects the linear stairs and the lift situated diagonally on the side walls. The eye of those walking up is caught by a cross-shaped, stamped skylight. Exposed concrete, smooth white surfaces and polished concrete emphasize the homogeneity and character of the building and carries forward the radicality of the outside’s form and material on the inside.

House BFW I [tp3] architekten Haag am I Hausruck Austria I 2008

These two leading themes are arranged to create a single overall structure through the symbiotic positioning of the different roof landscape. The integrated roof landscape means that at first glance it is not clear to the individual that these are actually two separate buildings, yet the roof that slopes towards the west connects the residence with the garage and therefore enables the existence of an intimate outside area in this interim zone. The ground floor is accessible directly above this zone. Although the north façade has a pitched roof, the actual separation of each design theme is highlighted by a house with a pent roof in front of the southern façade. This means that the building also looks like two different buildings from the two opposite sides. This is not visible in terms of the overall context, however, and basically refutes the configuration of the layout. This does not in any way reveal that the roof landscape may be configured differently. The living areas are incorporated in the ground floor in a clear expression of form and have a special connection with the outdoors due to the interior courtyard. The private areas are located on the first floor and are arranged towards the south. The cladding of the passive house is a wooden construction, including cladding with a spruce formwork (with rear ventilation). The remaining heat and the hot water are produced using a heat pump with deep drilling.

WFH House I Arcgency Wuxi I China I 2012

“The Little House” on the parking lot is the story of a house, that uses less energy than it produces, is built of old shipping containers and can be transported by land or sea. But it is not just a house. It is a factory build product, with endless opportunities for individual customization, both in terms of climate, culture and style. You configure your house online and 16 weeks later you move in. The prototype is built in Denmark and the first houses will be built in WUXI, China. They are a low carbon, resource conscious solution for the fast growing country. The project has been developed for worldFLEXhome in collaboration with a wide range of producers, Danish Techno¬logical Institute and technical advisors. In many ways the project reflects Arcgency’s work: Architecture that is defines by resource consciousness, individual solutions for people and alterative building methods.

Astana Railway Station I atelier4d Architekten Astana I Republic of Kazakhstan I 2010

The New Astana Main Station is envisaged as a starting and focal point for urban development. To give it enough strength and power to sustain on its own the station itself has been supplemented by the following other uses: Cinema and Conference Centre, Shopping and Retail Centre, Hotel. Recurring regularly throughout the city, the new Astana Main Station plays a primary role in establishing the identity and personality of the capital’s public spaces. It will become the very landmark by which one orients oneself and forms a sense of place. Its form, texture and colour will contribute to the clarity of the urban diagram and to the ease of transportation throughout Astana. Its boldness, plasticity and elegance are some of the qualities, that sets Astana, capital of Kazakhstan, apart and will make it a memorable and uniquely desirable flagship city in which to live and work.

Enclave House I BKK Architects Melbourne I Australia I 2010

Formally, the extension at the rear of the existing residence is conceived through a subtractive approach that appears to have been carved from a solid block, chiseled away to cater to the planning/heritage overlays, whilst also drawing light back into the residence. Deep reveals form the windows to the upper floor to protect the gaze from the surrounding residences. An interior lightwell and water feature extend the garden space to the centre of the living spaces. The garden has also been carefully crafted to create its own secret garden, complete with designer cubby house. There is an overwhelming sense of seclusion in both the house and garden that creates a type of space that is the family’s own, a retreat from busy lives and the surrounding chaos. The fabric of the building/s operates like a protective cocoon. The differing materiality of the two levels of the extensions creates the impression that the house has been capped or that a “helmet” is placed upon the exterior walls.

LA Modern I Carlo Donati Studio Lodi I Italy I 2012

LA modern is a 500 sq meters single family villa in the Italian country side facing to the Po riverside. The architectural language reminds the atmosphere of the Palm Springs’ villas designed by Neutra and Frey, but it reinterpretates them using contemporary materials. The three bodies of the villa define the courtyard with the pool and have different heights. The double height living space is in the heart of the house, with the mezzanine that overlooks the studio and the living. The kitchen is designed as a low volume with a long flat roof crossed by a tall cork tree. The façade on the main street has no windows, instead the ones facing the courtyard are open towards the garden and the pool continuously multiplying the views and the perspectives. Circular holes in the façade enlight the walkway to the spa area at the ground floor. At night, the light coming out from the holes is reflected in to the pool. The wooden slats cover the first floor wall and all the exterior floors around the pool.

Federal Cultural Foundation I Dannheimer & Joos Architekten Halle I Germany I 2012

The Federal Culture Foundation’s new headquarter is located on the grounds of the Franckesche Stiftungen. It is elegantly integrated in the historic surrounding, underlining the goals of the foundation—promoting, initiating and funding art and innovative cultural projects. The gap of a once closed row of houses is not filled entirely. The building rather incorporates the eaves and ridge lines of the neighbouring houses. It stands on its own as a solitary building, thus keeping the balance between adaptation and symbolism. The architectural style of the surrounding can be found in the building’s structure. The white façade and framework adapt historical elements. They are filled with flush glass. Facing the square, a folded, white coated stainless-steel structure veils the glass front. Depending on the perspective, the façade changes from seemingly closed to transparent. Inside the foundation the architecture is straightforward and reduced. The building has an open office concept, also the employees are offered communication spots and “thinking cells”.

Myllypuro Wooden Urban Village I Tengbom Eriksson Architects Myllypuro I Finland I 2008

The City of Helsinki arranged in 2008 an Open Design and Build Architectural Competition for the Myllypuro area north of Helsinki City centre. The competition was won by Eriksson Architects in co-operation with Finndomo Rakennus Oy. The aim of this co-operation was to create an area with a wooden village atmosphere with flexible apartments in an ecological fashion using the Finndomo pre-fabricated wooden structured houses. The houses are pre-fabricated containing 4–6 building blocks which are assembled on the building site. In this way the construction is very energy efficient and the construction work on the site is minimized. The finished area is 17 500 sq ms and will contain approximately 125 apartments.

Quinta dos Alcoutins Lt.4 I GGLLatelier Lisbon I Portugal I 2011

The House is inserted on an estate situated at the northern limit of Lisbon, the lot is north-facing with an accentuated decline. A grey volume draws the exterior spaces of the house and rectifies the inclined nature of the terrain, allowing the social areas a better solar exposure, the slanting white volume floats over it, turned away from the exterior limits of the lot and opening over the garden and the swimming pool. The distribution is pragmatic and very clear: The grey volume is filled with complementary spaces of the house, illuminated by a patio carved in it (Shower room, Spa, Cinema room, Wine cellar and Garage) the white volume is occupied by the main spaces of the house (Lounge, Library, Kitchen and Bedrooms) privileged by the transparency towards the garden and swimming pool. The rooftop is torn by a white terrace overlooking the Golf-course and the city skyline.

House H I Hiroyuki Shinozaki Architects Chiba I Japan I 2012

This is a house for young couple and their child, located in Matsudo, Chiba Prefecture. Matsudo City has a background that has developed as a residential area on the outskirts of Tokyo from the 1960s. This house was planned rebuilding of the house, which was built at that time. I seemed to have been asked to build a house as a new symbol in this place by a young family with the hope of the future. So, I proposed the house as living symbol by utilizing a big roof and structural member actually in their daily life rather than just image. At first I placed a big roof in the site, and arranged the eight Y-shaped wooden frames in it. I planned to each space by hanging second floors and loft floors from them. Like a bunch of attic beams of traditional wooden architecture, Y-shaped frames made of bonded wood run through the entire house. And the six floorboards are hung from them at different level. Depending on the level and location of floorboards, the distance from big roof and other living space will be changed, the space of under the floorboards as well. Although whole house is just one space under big roof, it divided loosely with Y-shaped frames and floorboards, so that people stay each space feeling each other. I hope that the family uses the structure of house in their daily life and that the structure related to their daily life. For example people hanging pictures and figures from Y-shaped frames and marking height of child along his growth on it. And they will leave the trail of their life on the house like a well thumbed book.

Spain’s Cultural Center I JSª in collab. with Arquitectura 911 sc Mexico City I Mexico I 2012

The Cultural Center Expansion totals an approximate of 4,000 qm of program distributed over 5 levels and 2 basements, providing new spaces for activities hardly enforceable within the original facility. The new program focuses on 4 main activities; performance space, exhibition gallery, seminar rooms, screenings and workshops. These programs are complemented with an archaeological museum located in the basement. The ruins of a pre-Hispanic house found during excavation remain on site. The project takes advantage of its location in Mexico City’s historic center by generating an urban passage through the Cultural center, allowing pedestrians to cross from Guatemala Street to Donceles Street.

The building’s volume negotiates the context’s morphological conditions. The façade, made of concrete and Corten steel louvers, seeks to create a dialogue with the environment by reinterpreting the colonial proportion vain—empty and generating height transitions between immediate adjacencies. A series of terraces and ramps connect to the existing building consolidating the Spain’s cultural center as a single entity with great vitality and multiplicity of activities. Spain’s Cultural Center (CCE), is one of most active training spaces of Mexico City’s Historic Center, such was the case of the colonial house that since 2002 serves as headquarters for the CCE.

Luxury Residences in “Golden Quarter” I landau+kindelbacher Vienna I Austria I 2013

Stylish, Viennese, exclusive and cosmopolitan, with contemporary architecture in the listed and heritage-protected ambience. In the upper floors of the historic buildings “Am Hof” and “Tuchlauben”, not only exclusive office and retail areas but also twelve superlative penthouse dwellings are being created. Each of the generously proportioned and light-flooded apartments is fitted with elegant materials and the latest technology. Velvet and leather, white marble on the walls, and smoked oak on the floors dominate the individually designed living areas. These are complemented by a magnificent panoramic view of the city of Vienna from the roof terrace.

Classical and well-proportioned room suites characterise the freely selectable apartment sizes between 150 and 700 qm. Whether split-level or open living and dining spaces, private courtyards, your own spa areas or the 360 degree rooftop terraces—the space available leaves nothing to be desired.

House in Zuidzande I MJose Van Hee Arquitects Zuidzande I The Netherlands I 2011

… The site, an orchard surrounded by a ditch, was purchased in 2007. Non-native trees were removed and the ditch as cleaned before construction started two years later. The house has a minimal footprint on the terrain. It consists of a 13.5-metre-high horizontally boardmarked concrete tower joined with two timber-framed wings cloaked with black-stained Thermowood. The play of geometries is reconciled at ground level in the concrete hearth and above by the chimney that rises through the house to top off the tower. The house presents different faces to each side of the orchard. Large glazed sliding doors, protected by a steel and timber canopy, open up the interior to the south. The concrete body appears thick and thin from different aspects. From the agricultural fields that surround the orchard, it looks like a dovecote rising above the canopy of the trees. It feels mythical yet present, real...

House in El Ramal I mutarestudio/Cristian Axl Valdés Maule I Talca I Chile I 2011

Ancient and abandoned stations next to some useless railway lines are some of the vestiges of what previously were important railway lines that connected the valley with the coast of Chile. The house is located next to the unique cross railway line (yet) operating in the country. Because of this the shape tries to remember to those old rural stations scattered along the line, in which the roof and gallery are its most important attributes. For that, the house is only one big roof covering a space like gallery. This roof is supported by a wooden box that contains the functional program and around it is the rest of the program. A single folded blanket completely envelops its exterior appearance, as if it were a tablecloth. Where this is not enough, large windows allow it to extend the inside beyond their physical limits, so the inside is understood as a continuous space with the outside space. It is an interior with vocation of exterior.

Teruel-Zilla! I Mi5 Arquitectos + PKMN Architectures Teruel I Spain I 2011

Facing the existence of an obsolete and underused market building occupying most of the meagre public space of the nearly nonexistent Domingo Gascon Square (even if provided with a commemorative statue), the decision taken is that of demolishing this old structure (a very inflexible and exclusive typology) and introducing a huge volume of youth leisure activities on the underground, to revitalize and to foster Teruel’s activity, while the old public square existing before the market building was constructed is regained. The public space and leisure centre project takes the expression of a buried Godzilla. This experimental typology is an investigation that pushes the boundaries of structural means and technical regulations to explore architectural prototypes that may be able to generate some new ways in achieving densification, setting an scenario of public enhancement and optimism in order to accomplish citizenship empowering, historical urban fabric revitalization and intensification of city life.

The Shed I Richard Peters Associates Sydney I Australia I 2010

Built in 1890, this former industrial building served as a workshop, warehouse, and artists’ studio. Demonstrating the resilience of its heritage fabric, the building is now a house designed with an eye for detail and studied restraint. A series of spaces required for contemporary living were carefully inserted into the simple brick shed in response to the building’s long northern elevation, double-height volume, lane access, and views over established gardens. Designer Richard Peters made the most of these qualities in form, material and arrangement, taking cues from the original building and reinforcing the opportunities of adaptive reuse. With a simple palette that employs materials as both structure and finish, The Shed reflects an inquisitive approach to the making of architecture.

Residential Building Solea Condominiums I Sorg Architects Washington DC I USA I 2010

Solea is a sixty-two unit mixed-use residential building located in an emerging urban area of downtown Washington, DC, USA and targeted towards mixed-income and first-time purchasers. Over 20 percent of the units are designed as live-work units with a mission to incubate and preserve local micro-businesses and neighborhood start-ups. The primary goal of the residential development is to promote home-ownership among area residents in danger of displacement as the neighborhood gentrifies. As such, 35 percent of the units are set aside for households with income below 50 percent of median area income.

The buildings architecture is reminiscent of the traditional Washington, DC apartments, with projecting bays, interpreted in a modern vocabulary. Uniquely, the project features live-work units interspersed among ground-floor retail and upper-floor residential units. The project was designed to LEED Gold standards, including the use of an urban infill site and providing convenient access to public transportation, use of recycled materials, energy efficient mechanical systems, water-saving plumbing fixtures, and reflective roofing materials.

Redesign Clothing Store Rione Fontana I UP3 ARCHITETTI ASSOCIATI Venezia I Italia I 2011

The design concept emphasizes the theme of opposites that are emphasized both in the choice of materials and in the design of the figures. White surfaces, light and bright alternate with dark, textured and matte, which absorb light. Geometric solutions that alternate absolute figures, monolithic, anchored to the floor to others that seem to defy the laws of gravity. Brick walls and hardwood floors of the historic building are smoothed with a common paint (neutral color). The light/dark, bright/matt, light/heavy contrast in turn becomes a ground for endless color combinations (RGB) and perceptual regulated and unified by a single, continuous intangible item (the light). The scene changes every time by offering a different perception of the store from the outside when the store is closed.

Railwayhouse Santpoort I Zecc Architects in collaboration with ZW6 Santpoort I The Netherlands I 2012

The project involves the transformation and expansion of a railway cottage next to station Santpoort-Noord. The railway house is on one side bordered by the railway line between Amsterdam and IJmuiden and on the other side by the National Park South Kennemerland. The contrast between the straight metal rails and the softness of the dunes is the basic idea for the metamorphosis of this railway house. On two sides an extension is achieved with hard lines and large glass surfaces, which focuses on the surrounding greenery. The small railway house literally breaks through its ancient walls outside and provides new insight into the landscape. The old railway cottage is on the inside almost unchanged. The remains of numerous alterations have been removed, leaving a pure and characteristic brick cottage. This old section provides security and simultaneously connects all contiguous open spaces of the house. From the middle of the house you will experience long sightlines and a waterfall staircase connecting the various floors.

VK2 Residence I VEVERKA ARCHITECTS El Cerrito I USA I 2011

The owners bought a dilapidated house on a wide lot across San Francisco bay that has views of the bay and San Francisco from the front and views up to a golf course in the rear. The house was razed and VK2 was constructed. It consists of two wings and a connecting link: the left side has a two car garage, a studio/guest bedroom, a bathroom and across a colorful exterior courtyard, another studio. The connecting link functions as the entrance and a direct way out to the rear terrace. The right wing of the house is the living “loft”, consisting of the living/dining/kitchen areas as well as an open bedroom and a covered porch overlooking the bay. The south wall of the wing is a 50 foot long “art wall” for display of the owners’ art collection. A design intent is that every living room should connect directly and easily to the exterior. The exterior landscaping, not fully grown at the time of photography, was designed to maximize the visual connection to the golf course.

Winter Garden I STADTGUT architekten Steinabrückl I Austria I 2012

A house in a former weekend-settlement from the 1960’s is to be upgraded. The wish upon a wind and weather protected exterior space, which still gives the user the feeling to reside outside is to be processed. Proposed is a suspended winter garden annex with a low percentage of visible metal construction that is pushed under the existing canopy. The result is a protected terrace area, oriented to the east and to the pool, which can be extended through a folding door into the winter garden. The roof pitch of the winter garden is opposite to the existing roof pitch thus making the opening towards the outer space more perceptible in the height development. The use of a hybrid construction not only allows slimmest dimensions, but also an optimal heat and cold protection. The re-clad canopy construction gives the garden side a completely new appearance and hides the rain drainage. Wooden steps encompass the new space thus providing shady seats overlooking the swimming pool.

Choriner Höfe I Collignon Architektur Berlin I Germany I 2013

The Choriner Höfe, a residential building project comprising 120 apartments and an underground garage, are located in a lively neighborhood in the most southern part of Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg. On the large site four new building blocks form a closed perimeter block, and five more buildings were realized within the block. Within the framework of this project we designed two residential buildings in the perimeter block on Zehdenicker Straße as well as the whole basement, and we took over the design co-ordination of all the participating architects. Although the two buildings we designed have a strong architectural affinity, their architectures are different because they have different significance for the ensemble. “House 8” forms the entrance to the inner area of the block. The 2-storey entrance is emphasized by a building with a particularly significant architecture. The façade is strongly characterised by the five nests located on each floor, and the upper most of them articulating a high point which marks the entrance to the inner part of the development. “House 9” alludes typologically in part to the classically inspired buildings in the surrounding area, as well as to the adjacent smooth facades in the existing old buildings.

Estación Glocal Design I ROW Studio Mexico City I Mexico I 2011

We were invited by Glocal Design Magazine to design their exhibition booth for a design and furniture fair in Mexico City. The construction and material for the booth was sponsored by Masisa, the leading manufacturer of MDF panels in Latin America who requested that the structure should showcase a large range of their finishes as a way to sample the possibilities of the material. We chose two color sequences, one from black to white including some wood texture materials and the other one ranging from dark green to orange. Since the MDF panels can’t be bent to generate curves we decided to use them as a sequence of plans that would generate the virtual form of a complex curved surface as the wireframe negative of the volume contained in a orthogonal box made by the module of the panels cut with a cnc router. When the plans intersect in the three directions of space they form a grid of shelves that serve as display and storage space for the magazines and other products. The whole booth was intended as a resting station, where the visitors to the fair can take a seat and read the magazine while sheltered inside a wrapping cocoon that keeps them away from the surrounding noises, lights and agitation. Four twisted elements act both as benches and as storage space. The 170 components of the Glocal Design Station where assembled and presented for the first time in Habitat Expo in Mexico City from 26th to the 28th of May 2011 and will be present in several other trade fairs for the rest of the year. Once this year’s exhibition cycle is over it will become a permanent feature of the meeting room of the publisher’s offices.
