 © Fernando Guerra | FG+SG From the architect. The site comprises an ensemble of five historical buildings owned by UBS which are bounded by rue de la Confédération, rue du Commerce, rue du Rhône, and the historic Passage des Lions in the prestigious neighbourhood of Les Rues-Basses in Geneva. In January 2009, UBS launched a competition for projects to transform these structures in order to bring them up to contemporary standards of use, functionality, safety, and energy efficiency.  © Fernando Guerra | FG+SG The block comprises the Passage des Lions, designed by Adrien Peyrot and completed in 1911, a unique example of this kind of structure in Geneva, which was landmarked by the Commission Cantonale pour la Conservation des Monuments Historiques et la Protection des Sites; two buildings belonging to an ensemble dating from the early twentieth century; and two buildings along rue du Commerce. The first of these, an example of a palais bancaire built in a quarter of Geneva traditionally dedicated to commercial and banking activities, was designed by Gustave Peyrot and Albert Bourrit, and built between 1939 and 1942 on the site of a mixed-used structure occupied since 1920 by UBS, which had already undergone significant internal transformations. The second one had little architectural or heritage value.  © Fernando Guerra | FG+SG The project proposes an urban intervention seeking to reanimate this venerable block by creating a covered passage along rue du Commerce, and opening a new link between the rotunda of the Passage des Lions and rue du Commerce to integrate the ensemble into the network of pedestrian spaces in Les Rues Basses. The program features shops on the ground and first floors with flexible office space on the remaining levels.  © Fernando Guerra | FG+SG In an ensemble possessing such disparate technical, architectural, historical, and patrimonial character, this project called for a very wide range of types and levels of intervention. One building was demolished (D), another was demolished and replaced by a new building (A), while in the palais bancaire (B) the facades were maintained and the floors, which had been compromised by successive interventions, were rebuilt; other buildings were renovated at the level of replacement of windows, facade insulation, and internal modifications (C, E). With the Passage des Lions, the architects sought to preserve as much as possible of the initial building fabric or to capture its original spirit in elements that had to be replaced.  © Fernando Guerra | FG+SG  Section  © Fernando Guerra | FG+SG In terms of reflection and decision-making with respect to strategies for conservation, renovation, and transformation, all of the parties implicated in this project played their roles – the client, UBS, planning authorities and their technical departments, representatives of the local heritage organisations, fire safety officials, technical subcontractors, and finally, the builders, under the leadership of RDR from the competition phase onward. Each of these domains contributed to fascinating discussions from multiple perspectives, leading to an extremely rich and rewarding process that involved technical, functional, and safety requirements as well as economic and regulatory constraints, and which has significant architectural, historical, and patrimonial implications, plaza where the public spaces of the shops and the Congress Centre.  © Fernando Guerra | FG+SG  © Fernando Guerra | FG+SG  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Ilya Ivanov The editorial office of Championat.com occupies two storeys of a four-storey 19th century building. Reception area includes an information desk with integrated media panels adapted to display original content about games and events and a large comfortable lounge-zone.  © Ilya Ivanov Main functional zones – workspace areas and meeting rooms - are located on the 2d floor. Open space allows for better communication and exchange of information among co-workers.  © Ilya Ivanov A monitoring room with a big ring-shaped table and a video installation set just below the ceiling in the middle is the ideological "core" of the office. Top–managers` desks are also placed in an open-space in the geometric center of the office to make the communication process as effective and fast as possible. There are also a relax-zone and a mini coffee point on the 2th floor.  © Ilya Ivanov Formally,a dining-room located on the 4th mansard floor belongs to Gazeta.ru – another department of the media holding Rambler&Co, designed by Nefa Architects, - but both teams have it at their disposal.  © Ilya Ivanov According to the project specification the architects design a multifunctional hall for conferences, lectures, meetings and presentations. The hall is equipped with most modern technical, audio-visual equipment.  © Ilya Ivanov Design-idea. Working on the design concept, the authors decided to bring the aesthetics of a gym into the interiors, but taking into consideration the background of old red-brick walls, they gave them an air of a school gym somewhere in Italy like the one in Fellini's film Amarcord, for instance.  © Ilya Ivanov The architects used mostly natural materials such as brick, wood, metal, glass in the interior decoration of the office space. Many pieces of office furniture were specially designed by the studio and produced in local workshops.  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Spaceshift Studio From the architect. Situated on a bank of the Chao Phraya River in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, The Wine Ayutthaya is a new leisure place for wine drinkers. The building was constructed to become a new tourist attraction in hopes of stimulating the economy of local communities surrounding this world heritage site, which was the capital city of Thailand 400 years ago. The building is a product of architectural creativity and environmental context molded into a magnet for tourists.  © Spaceshift Studio  Plan 01  © Spaceshift Studio  Platforms Plan A single story building blends in with existing large trees with carefully designed landscape. The building is 9 meters in height and 11 meters equally in width and length made entirely from steel-reinforced plywood. The interior of the wine house is divided into 4 platforms, each with its own height that serves as a vantage point for visitors to absorb the beautiful view of the river from different angles, contrasting the interior with the exterior spaces. There are 5 sets of spiral stairs attached to each platforms. The ground floor is occupied by a wine bar, and seats are placed between the staircases. The platforms and staircases are scenic viewpoints.  © Spaceshift Studio The locally found wooden houses are the inspiration to create this steel-reinforced plywood structure. The knock-down waffle structure system which is visually light but structurally strong is being exposed by the design of floor, wall and roof. The waffle walls can be a light filter that helps cool down the interior atmosphere. Moreover, wine drinkers can enjoy another depth of experience through the sense of smell mixture between plywood and wine.  © Spaceshift Studio In this building, plywood a material normally used for interior purposes as furniture structure being used as a building structure. This has broaden the potential and transform the perception of plywood from a temporary material to a permanent and extraordinary edifice.  © Spaceshift Studio All five spiral stairs has been designed not only for circulations that fit in limited spaces but also serve as structural supports. Furthermore, familiarly experienced scale and amount of spiral stairs has been sculpt into an unfamiliar new space arousing visitors the sense of abstract.  Section D The building is protected from rain and humidity by coating plywood with resin and covering the building with 1 millimeter thick PVC sheets. From the exterior, the undulating reflects of PVC sheets visually soften the building, in the meantime, exposed the interior through its clearness.  © Spaceshift Studio To overcome conceptual limitations and face challenges in both material and scale in order to create an all-embracing architecture is the purpose of The Wine Ayutthaya, a work of art to revive the spirit of this once majestic ancient city.  © Spaceshift Studio  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © 是然建筑摄影 From the architect. Tianjin Luneng sales center is designed with quiet and open attitude to create an innovative exhibit space. We try to weaken the spatial form of Academy. Courtyard of outdoor space to multifunctional steps of interior space consists of this project’s central space.  © 是然建筑摄影 Located in Tianjin Haihe Education Park, besides Nankai University, with Maritime College to the north, the sales center possessesrich educational resources and profound cultural heritage. The architect keenly combines Tianjin culture with unique humanistic atmosphere and come up with the design concept of "New Tianjin CollegeStyle", trying to create cultural architectural space and highlightthe brand value. Followed the Neo-Chinese architectural style, simple and elegant, we create an elegant and quiet academy atmosphere via transformation of light and metal roof with deep eaves, various façade, and light trail corridor.  © 是然建筑摄影 SPACE & SEQUENCE Draw on Chinese traditional academy layout prototype, the architect form a small community concept of the inward courtyard space surrounded with three different scales of rectangular blocks. Primary and secondary the entire layout is clear, the main sales center on the east lead people's visual focus.The whole building hidden in the landscape and corridor, lead people into the site experiencing changing at every turn step by step with no leakage point. The architectural layout creates a quiet atmosphere of college.  © 是然建筑摄影 In addition, the construction has been further mixed with the essence of traditional architecture such as doorway, screen, pavilion, large eave, corridor, walls, etc. The corridors interlink this small architectural complex, playing an intimation role in the whole sales center’s visit circulation.  © 是然建筑摄影  分析图  © 是然建筑摄影 ARCHITECTURAL IMAGE & FACADE We try to create a light changeable and modern Chinese façade effect via concise architectural form, far-reaching large roof, Click-and-Mortar façade effect, modern materials and craftworks.  © 是然建筑摄影 “Themetal roofs with huge overhanging eaves” and “metal bricks” are used as two important parts of the sales center facade. Metal roof with steel structures, which provides overhanging eaves’ distance and ensure roof’s lightness, has endowed time meaning to traditional style. The exterior façades of the eastern main building, drawing inspiration from Chinese landscape painting, constitute a Chinese landscape style façade through changes of several metal bricks with different modulus. Various façades show splendid shades of change under light.  © 是然建筑摄影 TECHNIQUE & MATERIAL The building form a visual focus by using warm grey aluminum and pale yellow imitation rock paint as main materials, and imitation copper aluminum as ornament. The combination of different materials, strengthen the nature of space in accordance with the "academy" introverted modest temperament.Horizontal line-based main wall is combined with several different modules. Concave-convex material is used to strengthen light and shadow of the building surface which make the façade more vivid. At night, the landscape corridor adds a different view to the building by using translucent material decorated with exquisite metal buckle on the ceiling surface.  © 是然建筑摄影 INDOOR SPACE The interior space has been consistent with academy style. Main space, sited in the center of sales center, is composed of multifunctional staircases and bookcases, forming an interactive space linked two layers. Meanwhile, the stage face to the best landscape, connecting visitors’ sight from indoor to outdoor.  © 是然建筑摄影  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
