 © Adam Mørk From the architect. Skovbakken is a primary school for 650 students. The new building replaces an existing school and is in its scale, its architectonic expression and in its materials inspired by its surroundings: the neighbourhood and the public forest.  © Adam Mørk "The school is designed as a two-storey building inspired by the existing context. We decided to use pitched roofs and a human scale that ensures identification for the students and the inhabitants in Odder", explains founding partner at CEBRA, Carsten Primdahl. He continues: "We have preserved as many of the original trees as possible as they convey a soft transition to the green surroundings. The few trees we had to cut down have been reused in the interior as furnishings. In addition, wooden sections accentuate all entrances and in the interior the striking staircase is also made of wood. In this way the physical contact with the architecture is communicated through the pleasant and stimulating material - wood", concludes Carsten Primdahl.  © Adam Mørk  1st Floor Plan  © Adam Mørk  2nd Floor Plan The experience of a welcoming school is emphasised in the school's layout as three structures which are oriented towards a central atrium, opening up to the surroundings and establishing many diverse and interesting landscaping and building spaces, both in the exterior and in the interior.  © Adam Mørk Focus On Exercise  © Adam Mørk  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Uppsala Entré / Svendborg Architects Posted: 28 Sep 2017 07:00 PM PDT  © Adam Mørk
 © Adam Mørk From the architect. The site is long and narrow and the brief asked for both housing and stores to be implemented on the plot. We wanted to avoid "a wall of housing" at the street side and we didn't want to create a blind wall on the backside of the stores, and by doing so hide the park. Instead, we connected the park and the urban street by placing the housing blocks across the site – thus creating passages in-between the stores as well as letting the existing park continue onto the pitched roof above the shops.  © Adam Mørk With this main concept we tend to bring more life into the area and at the same time contribute by introducing new qualities such as different views, passages, and by creating an extension of the park rather than a border of the park, thus making the green space bigger than before. Here you can live close to public transportation and stores with the feeling of living in a park which flows in between the housing blocks. Another key attribute of opening up the site is that it welcomes other pedestrians and invites them to experience the area with its clash of urban and green characteristics.  © Adam Mørk The facades of the stores are angled to break down the scale and to create small outdoor seating areas. Additionally, the geometry of the housing blocks was designed in close relationship with the surrounding urban context as it is lowest towards the existing lamella houses and highest towards the urban city scale and center. The low evening and morning sun in Uppsala provides light to the balconies and creates varying reflections between the housing blocks.  Apartments Plan The characteristic facade pattern is inspired by snowflake formation, which from a distance is experienced as a uniform white. As you get closer to the buildings though, you start to notice seven different colors behind the perforated aluminum plates. Each color is placed on a unique building, functioning as a navigation tool throughout the entire project. The colors all together on the other hand are a representation of the color pallet that can be found throughout the city of Uppsala.  © Adam Mørk  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Kartasan House / Atelier Vens Vanbelle Posted: 28 Sep 2017 05:00 PM PDT  © Tim Van de Velde
 © Tim Van de Velde From the architect. The original building consisted of two floors and an attic, plus a courtyard that is separated from the street by a garden wall. The inner structure of the house was in a poor condition and the rooms were too small, so it was decided to keep only the facade and build a complete new structure in the house.  Courtesy of Atelier Vens Vanbelle An oak tree trunk was placed as new support structure in the middle of the pentagonal plan. The new upper floors were hung in a spiral movement between the existing exterior walls and this central support. This led to an open interior space without interior walls in the living areas. The tree was a logical and affordable solution, and it immediately gave the right atmosphere to the new home. The bathroom, kitchen, entrance and storage / laundry room were compiled in a vertical volume.  © Tim Van de Velde The ground floor is used as a studio by the owner, who is an artist, and the higher you go in the home, the more private the spaces becom. The bedrooms are located in the attic.  © Tim Van de Velde  Sections  © Tim Van de Velde The existing facade was restored back to its original state, and the roof was replaced. This created a small viewing deck, overlooking the park in front of the house.  © Tim Van de Velde Because the new floors were randomly positioned according to the existing windows, exciting vistas and lighting conditions were created. In the dining room on the first floor a large window towards the courtyard was added.  © Tim Van de Velde  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| House in Matsuyacho / Shogo ARATANI Architect & Associates Posted: 28 Sep 2017 03:00 PM PDT  © Shigeo Ogawa
 © Shigeo Ogawa From the architect. This property is located in a densely developed residential neighborhood of Osaka. The client had lived on the site since childhood, so when he commissioned us to design a new house there, we began by soliciting extensive input from him because he of course knew the characteristics of the site intimately. Following these discussions, we decided we wanted to build a house that would enable him to discover new things within this familiar place.  © Shigeo Ogawa The property is boxed in by neighboring houses. The space between the structures is just wide enough for a person to pass through, and is further obstructed by air conditioning units and water heaters on the exterior walls. Probably due to this environment, the client had struggled for many years with a lack of natural light and problematic dampness in the house.  © Shigeo Ogawa Setting the new structure back from the surrounding properties would have allowed in more natural light, but this type of design would also have introduced an alien element into the neighborhood, and we therefore did not feel that it was the best solution. Instead, we sought a design that intentionally maintained the densely packed atmosphere.  Plan The solution we arrived at was to build out as close as possible to the neighboring houses, tracing the silhouette of the previous structure, but to also carve out small gardens on three sides. The breezes that pass down the gaps between the houses enter these concave gardens, flowing into the interior along with natural light.  © Shigeo Ogawa A similar hollow on the fourth side of the house (the street side) contains the approach. The frontage of this house is about twice as long as that of its neighbors, but because the hollow divides the façade into two sections, it fits in with the scale of the surrounding houses.  © Shigeo Ogawa The four indentations divide the interior space into zones that serve different functions. They are connected by a centrally located main room, which has a double-height ceiling and a lacey expanded-metal floor on the upper level. This allows soft light to enter the space from four directions, creating a living environment diametrically opposed to the one which the client previously inhabited. It is our hope that the house will allow the family to enjoy their life in this neighborhood, both now and in future generations.  © Shigeo Ogawa  Plans  © Shigeo Ogawa  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| James Cook University Verandah Walk / Wilson Architects Posted: 28 Sep 2017 01:00 PM PDT  © Andrew Rankin / Brent Hardcastle
 © Andrew Rankin / Brent Hardcastle From the architect. In the heart of James Cook University in Townsville, lies the new Verandah Walk – a pedestrian and cyclist link that weaves through the regional campus. Wilson Architects has completed stage one of the project, the Verandah Walk South Node, which connects Education Central and the Eddie Koiki Mabo Library across Waada Mooli Creek.  © Andrew Rankin / Brent Hardcastle The design creates a series of 'nodal' meeting and seating areas that encourage students to study, collaborate and socialize in an open-air landscaped setting. The Verandah Walk enhances the student experience and creates a sense of quality and permanence, previously lacking on the site.  Plan The architects' challenge was to design a 420m long covered walkway that sits well on its site, without overwhelming visitors with its scale and length. The deliberately-curved walkway directs attention outwards to the landscape, rather than focusing the user's view 'down the barrel' of a long straight path. The curved path provides the required wayfinding cues while creating an experience of 'journey', instead of 'destination'.  © Andrew Rankin / Brent Hardcastle This project embraces and responds to the unique tropical narrative of the region, by considering light, shade, humidity, breeze, scent, water/rain, and color. Increased access to daylight and fresh air circulation supports improved levels of concentration, cognitive function and mental well-being for students, staff, and visitors. Polished aluminum lines sections of the soffit, and works to reflect the landscape back out to passers-by.  © Andrew Rankin / Brent Hardcastle Two pavilions extend out from the path and operate as connected outdoor learning spaces, with power and Wi-Fi throughout. Nearby fountains provide further respite from the hot climate, by creating a cooling effect and atmospheric background noise.  © Andrew Rankin / Brent Hardcastle  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Daisuke Shima From the architect. This dog salon is located for a main road of Kashiba city in Nara prefecture where has some supermarkets and shops around.  © Daisuke Shima This plan has been proceeded as a safety first for our customer's family and have them pleasure and comfy.  Floor Plan There used to be in used for office building with "Piloti" that was designed for a car parking, therefore it had approximately 1.2m differences of elevations in both the inside of building and the approach.  © Daisuke Shima The requirements for the planning that eliminate any accident due to falling, thus we planned to remove the existing staircases from in both the building and the approach to have steps with gentle slope (dog steps) that little puppies should be able to go up and down.  © Daisuke Shima We have adopted zigzag path for the approach and having set a reception counter in the center of the salon which makes enough space to have the dog steps for some places of the salon. The dog steps have aimed as a safety feature and make rhythmic atmosphere. We hope that you and your puppies will be enjoy here.  © Daisuke Shima  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Anzac Bay House / Vaughn McQuarrie Posted: 28 Sep 2017 10:00 AM PDT  © Simon Devitt
 © Simon Devitt From the architect. The concept for the house was to create a central grand space, surrounded by smaller spaces, somewhat like a church in the center of a small village. The "church" which resembles a traditional boatshed shape, consists of a singular open space created by parallel precast concrete walls with a skillion roof sitting on top. Mezzanine spaces at either end, accessed by a sculptural helical stair, contain a sleeping space on one and a working space the other. Each end is fully glazed.  © Simon Devitt  Ground Floor Plan  © Simon Devitt  Mezzanine Plan The layout of the structures on the site has created a "lane" down the side which engages with an old stone wall on the adjacent property. The lane leads to a large entry door on the side of the main space. The door is directly adjacent to the helical stair and below a walkway linking the two mezzanine platforms. Once you enter, you are drawn into the central double height space.  © Simon Devitt The use of Litecrete precast concrete panels (a lightweight aggregate is used to improve the thermal performance) allows them to be left exposed inside and out, this in combination with exposed steel beams and timber floor beams allow the primary structure of the main space to become the finished fabric. The single-story structures surrounding the main space contain guest accommodation and ancillary spaces.  © Simon Devitt  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Frédéric Delangle Location and program  Site Plan It is a triangular plot bordered by 3 streets and a public garden. The site benefits from a unique corner situation which marks the entrance of the new district and participates in the definition of the "Skyline" on the main street.  © Frédéric Delangle The program offers 44 units of social housing. These functional and luminous apartments are distributed by two distinct stair-cases and have different typologies and surfaces.  © Frédéric Delangle The urban fault  Diagram We react to this constraint by creating a North-South fault. This gesture has several advantages for us:  © Frédéric Delangle Inhabited Roof Garden  © Frédéric Delangle The set of facades  © Frédéric Delangle The «urban» facade holds the building on three angles.  © Frédéric Delangle Its dynamic rhythm participates in the perpetual movement of the city, playing on a vocabulary of loggias and big scale perforations.  © Frédéric Delangle In addition, we choose to treat a façade of «hanging gardens» in the heart of the plot, creating surprise and astonishment for the pedestrian.  © Frédéric Delangle Totally oriented towards the garden, it proposes a calm and timeless writing. We intend to highlight the prow of the building by making it visible and identifiable from the parvis of the train station. The movement of slender roofs as well as the large loggias of the South facade give a strong signal.  © Frédéric Delangle Housing units  © Frédéric Delangle  Type plan  © Frédéric Delangle The private outdoor spaces of each dwelling are developed towards the west, and benefit from an optimal orientation of sunshine and a clear view of the garden.  © Frédéric Delangle A regular grid allows the planning of duel aspect apartments of type T2 and T3 in the center of the building, as the edges are occupied by large apartments of type T4 and T5.

| Patio House / Bloot Architecture Posted: 28 Sep 2017 04:00 AM PDT  © Ossip van Duivenbode
 © Ossip van Duivenbode From the architect. In Velp, the Netherlands, a sustainable refurbishment and extension of a dilapidated 1950s villa has recently been completed. The villa is situated on the edge of National Park Veluwezoom, a nature reserve. The many small rooms of the original house have been reduced to a small amount of light and spacious spaces and a concrete extension with patio (atrium) was added to the house.  © Ossip van Duivenbode  Ground Floor Plan - New  © Ossip van Duivenbode Although the various living spaces are in open connection with each other, the separate rooms retain their own intimate atmosphere. The patio, the restricted use of partition walls, the larger windows and passageways allow natural light to penetrate into the home and show the sightlines of the various interior and exterior spaces; this makes that the spaces flow smoothly from one into the other.  © Ossip van Duivenbode  Section A  © Ossip van Duivenbode The concrete beam in the façade of the original house still defines the characteristics of the villa. Parallel with this beam is the underside of the new plant-covered concrete roof of the addition. The original concrete beam is only 2.3 meters high (from floor to underside of the beam), therefore the addition was partly built into the ground to create more height. This way the addition lies sunken in the garden and blends naturally with the surroundings. The split-level provides playfulness to the house; you can sit on the low concrete wall of the extension part in the garden and partly inside the house. They also provide a subtle distinction between the different spaces.  © Ossip van Duivenbode  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

The project, a piece of suspended light, is built by metal profiles and a ceiling where the warm and white light of a series of LED strips is projected, in the quest to represent the basic visual language of the line.  © David Svensson From the architect. The Stockholm City Line (Citybanan) is a new commuter railway tunnel beneath central Stockholm in Sweden which is used by the Stockholm Commuter Rail. The line entered service on 10 July 2017.  © David Svensson Life Line is a site-specific artwork at the Odenplan station, based on the line as a drawing and as a basic visual language.  © David Svensson Its starting point was my sons birth in the summer of 2012 and his pulse before the birth during the labor. The shining lines who are showing the child´s pulse become a metaphor for life. The different lines who relate to each other become like a kind of topographical landscape, a 350 square meter big light piece.  Cortesía de Firma: David Svensson The Artwork consists of a neon resembled warm white LED from GE, a total of 400 meters distributed over 32 lines that also becomes a part of the general lighting.  Model A Station in Stockholm city center is of course very much about movement. I See the station as an image of the city pulse and its life. People commute with the public transportation from home to work, to school and other activities. and back again. A station is perfused by a flow of people and it becomes like a natural cycle.
