| The Curated Home / Mustard Architects Posted: 01 Apr 2018 10:00 PM PDT  © Tim Crocker
 © Tim Crocker Text description provided by the architects. The Curated Home embraces the ordinary language of the Victorian vernacular and contemporary design to create an extra-ordinary home for our clients, their children, and their home run business. The architecture and interior design are concerned with the domestic to create opportunities for the display of carefully chosen, much-loved possessions and items for sale. Although functional, our clients wanted to address the low levels of natural light and restricted space in their existing home to allow for the family social living, larger gatherings and to accommodate an expanding home run business.  © Tim Crocker  Ground Floor Plan  © Tim Crocker Practical space and open plan design don't always go hand in hand but by combining the existing vernacular with a modern design we opened up the layout and created a series of natural extensions to our clients Victorian home. Rhythms of existing timber paneling, brickwork, and decorative colors carry through, defining the new kitchen dining space whilst concealing more modern appliances, storage, and conveniences.  Section A The dining window seat projects into the garden and is mirrored with an external brick seat enabling sociable conversation between the inside and out. Views of the rear garden are framed by two large oak framed pivot openings with the garden forming a functional extension to the kitchen as a dining, social and play space. In the loft, traditional timber boarding and exposed painted bricks line walls and ceilings creating an unexpected yet familiar light-filled home office. The project compliments period and modern design, fulfilling our clients' ambitions of simplicity, usefulness, and beauty.  © Tim Crocker  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| Renovation of the Multi-Function Hall in Central Academy of Fine Arts / Architecture School of CAFA Posted: 01 Apr 2018 05:00 PM PDT  Interior Hall. Image © Weiqi Jin
 Interior Hall(Performance). Image © Weiqi Jin Text description provided by the architects. This multi-function hall is located at the center of the architectural complex of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and has always been one of the largest single-storey indoor spaces in the academy. Before the renovation, it was a school history museum, but the original interior space was too old to be used for modern teaching.  Entrance. Image © Weiqi Jin  Entrance. Image © Weiqi Jin On the occasion of the academy's 100th anniversary in 2018, a series of adjustments were made inside the campus, then this architecture was transformed to a multi-function hall, which is now mainly used as an art exhibition hall for daily teaching, meanwhile, it can be a place to hold different activities, such as large meetings and performances for teachers and students.  Diagram The transformation idea is like "space sketch"—on the basis of the existing building spatial relation, the designers used concise forms and simple materials to "paint" the indoor interface, so as to meet the requirement of making it become a ritual and flexible gathering place for teachers and students.  Lobby. Image © Weiqi Jin  Lobby. Image © Weiqi Jin The renovation included the front hall, inner hall, toilet, backstage, office, etc., and the black, white and grey materials gradually changed the spatial sequence in the spaces which have different scales. The front hall was treated as a gray box, and the wall, ceiling and floor were covered with gray granites. Through the floor glass doors, the indoor and outdoor materials are naturally connected.  Lobby. Image © Weiqi Jin At the end of the front hall, the three revolving doors in the axis act like screens, which separate the front hall and the inner hall, and reduce the interference of external activities to the inner hall. The rotating doors in the middle are covered with black mirror steels, reflecting the changeable natural landscape on the outside. The designers redesigned the previous toilet area and adjusted its streamline relation to rationalize the function. Mirror walls were added in the front hall to create a variety of visual changes while transiting from the outside to inside.  Plan Entering to the inner hall, the acoustic panels were integrated into a complete and pure white background. The original fixed stage was removed and replaced with an assembled mobile stage so that the entire hall could be used as a flexible display space. The designers used folding boards on some parts of the walls to make a coherent viewing space. The previous doors and windows were also hidden inside the walls.  Stage. Image © Weiqi Jin  Section  Interior Hall(Performance). Image © Weiqi Jin The aluminum grilled ceiling in the inner hall contains lighting, air conditioning, fire fighting and sound equipments, etc., under which some adjustable light poles with intelligent control were installed. The brightness and height of the artificial equipments can be adjusted according to the change of functions. When the hall is functioning as an exhibition place, the track lighting poles can be lowered to a height of 3 meters to ensure that the lighting can be freely controlled and manually adjusted according to the position of display partitions. When the hall is used for meeting and performance, the light poles can present dynamic changes and create specific atmospheres.  Lobby. Image © Weiqi Jin  Lobby. Image © Weiqi Jin The backstage area is mainly used to display partitions and store movable furniture, and one part of it has been transformed to a VIP lounge whose design continues to use folding wall surfaces. All the facilities and equipments in this renovation were hidden within the complete materials to show a pure and concise spatial view. When this multi-functional place becomes a silent background, the lively and colorful school activities will be further highlighted.

 © Sitthisak Namkham | ban lae Suan magazine Text description provided by the architects. This project is the renovation of an almost 30 years old Town-house. When we got this building the condition was really bad. The house itself has settlement about 30cm from front to back. And 1st floor and 2nd floor Beam's Structure is failed. They have a crack mark on it. And we also find it failed also. We decide to keep only structure and repaired to make sure that it will not have more Problem in the future. And we also design iron structure to support the concrete structure like and X- Brace to make the structure more rigid.  © Living Etc magazine The concept of the house is to make the house to a new look for space and facade. We decided to Brake the wall on the side of the house to make space more connected to outside. We re-do the boundary wall to be the iron net look-alike for a vine to Grow. To cover the house by green view due to the limit Land area. And for the façade we use more glass façade to make space look bigger and for the allowed natural lights to come in.  © Living Etc magazine We designed a Corten Steel main entrance folding door. For the interior, we want to create a flow space from front to back. We only have 1dining room on the first floor and it can open to connect to the living and pantry area. And the wall of the living room we decide to remove a Plasterer wall to reveal the existing Bridge to keep the Story for the House.  © Sitthisak Namkham | ban lae Suan magazine  © Sitthisak Namkham | ban lae Suan magazine  © Sitthisak Namkham | ban lae Suan magazine For the Stair, We want to have a very thin staircase. So we design a Corten steel folding stair hang from above to create a different feeling for other steel structure that in grey color. For the 2nd floor, We redesign the space. Extend the room to the existing corridor and use the lightweight material for the 2nd-floor area. We have 2 rooms one is Bedroom and the other is gathering space.  © Living Etc magazine  © Living Etc magazine In gathering space we design a 4m. big rotating Windows that can rotate near 90 degrees operate by manual. And also Space for putting the Owner's Collectible and gathering space. For the bed-room we design a 45 sqm space include toilet and walk-in closet space together to make the Room space more comfortable we combine the working /living /Relax space together  © Sitthisak Namkham | ban lae Suan magazine  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| "Anti-Pavilion" Reframes National Sculpture Garden in Australia for NGV Triennal Posted: 01 Apr 2018 09:00 AM PDT  Courtesy of Other Architects Other Architects and Retallack Thompson designed a site-specific installation in the sculpture garden at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne for their inaugural NGV Triennial; an exhibition of international, contemporary art and design. Their concept? An "anti-pavilion."  Courtesy of Other Architects  Courtesy of Other Architects By using minimalism and repetition, Garden Wall simply reframes what already exists in the garden. Bluestone gravel pathways take you in and around the garden through a series of "rooms." Outdoor spaces are defined with self-supporting steel frames clad in UV yarn mesh. Typically used in greenhouses, the mesh changes opacity, color, and reflectivity in the sunlight. Foxtail grass and eucalyptus leaves add a soft, natural element to the design.  Courtesy of Other Architects  Courtesy of Other Architects This anti-pavilion is a key venue for Melbourne Design Week from March 15th–25th and will remain on display until April 15th as part of the NGV Triennal.

| NP2F Wins Competition for New Mediterranean Institute of Cities and Territories in Marseille Posted: 01 Apr 2018 07:00 AM PDT  Courtesy of NP2F NP2F, in collaboration with Marion Bernard, Point Supreme and Jacques Lucan, has won the competition for a new institute on Porte d'Aix Plaza in Marseille, France. A combination of research and education at a Mediterranean scale, the Mediterranean Institute of Cities and Territories will link three programmatic volumes: the Atelier Building, the Forum Building and the Experimentation and Research Building. The three forms compound a "progressive system and precise composition" oriented around a Y-shaped courtyard.  Courtesy of NP2F The buildings fit into the backdrop of Marseille through "continuity with public spaces and views of the surrounding streets." The architecture of Marseille is characterized by the intersection of indoor and outdoor spaces. The Institute also utilizes concrete overhangs and intimate green spaces to create a "softness" for the users.  Courtesy of NP2F At the ground floor, the central courtyard serves as a continuation of the main entrance. It is designed to be the "town's extension into the heart of the Institute". On the other hand, the more urban courtyard in the research building is an "animation" of the boulevard. All the rooftops of the buildings are programmed to benefit from views of the sea, the town and mountains.  Courtesy of NP2F News via: NP2F.

| Pam & Paul's House / Craig Steely Architecture Posted: 01 Apr 2018 06:00 AM PDT  © Darren Bradley
 © Darren Bradley Text description provided by the architects. The house floats in the canopy of a dense oak grove in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains just west of Silicon Valley. The conceptual idea came clearly and quickly—float a glass box in the leaves of the trees on two trunk-like columns, disrupting as few oaks as possible. The dense tree canopy offers the opportunity to build a complete glass-walled house, protected from the direct rays of the sun, yet filled with dappled sunlight.  © Darren Bradley  Main Level Plan  © Darren Bradley A bridge of steel grating connects grade to the rooftop of native grasses. An observation deck sits in the grass field along with a garage/foyer of zinc panels and mirror glass. Sunlight funnels down through the foyer into the living level. The main living area is cantilevered into the tree canopy while bedrooms, bathrooms, service, and storage are located behind a long wall of cabinetry along the hillside. Distinct spaces (the living room, the office, and the kitchen) are delineated spatially in the open plan by sinking them into the concrete floor.  © Darren Bradley These spaces are further delineated by a material. In the sunken office, all surfaces— flooring, desk, cabinetry— are milled from a single slab of Chinese pistachio. The sunken living room is filled with 144 sq. ft. of B&B Italia's "Tufty time" sofa components. In the kitchen/dining room, a 22 ft long counter of white composite quartz continues the kitchen work surface into the dining table. In the ceiling, flush mounted LED strips to imply these zones. Strong geometric lines of light, reminiscent of a Dan Flavin sculpture, are clearly visible from the outside looking up through the leaves.  © Darren Bradley  Section  © Darren Bradley  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| Why Are Architects So Obsessed With Piet Mondrian? Posted: 01 Apr 2018 02:30 AM PDT
In the 1920s, Dutch-born artist Piet Mondrian began painting his iconic black grids populated with shifting planes of primary colors. By moving beyond references to the world around him, his simplified language of lines and rectangles known as Neo Plasticism explored the dynamics of movement through color and form alone. Though his red, yellow and blue color-blocked canvases were important elements of the De Stijl movement in the early 1900s, almost a century later Mondrian's abstractions still inspire architects across the globe. But, what is it about these spatial explorations that have captivated artists and designers for so long?  © <a href='https://www.flickr.com/photos/ikkoskinen/4292086359/in/photostream/'>Flickr user IK's World Trip</a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/'>CC BY 2.0</a> Arguably the first instance of the architectural adoption of Mondrian's explorations came in the form of a modest two-story home—architect Gerrit Rietveld's first building—for the recently widowed Truus Schröder and her three children in Utrecht, Netherlands. Constructed between 1923 and 1924 the Schröder House saw the painter's vivid planes and grids transformed into metal strips, expanses of wood, and lengths of tubular steel painted red, blue and yellow that frame the shifting planes of the roof, windows, and walls. The home's inner walls were freed of their structural responsibility allowing the internal space to function as a flexible composition of floating planes.  © <a href='https://www.flickr.com/photos/dalbera/28797718610'>Flickr user Jean-Pierre Dalbéra</a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/'>CC BY 2.0</a> In 1926, painter and architect Theo van Doesburg—a contemporary of both Mondrian and Rietveld—was commissioned to design the Café L'Aubette. He conceived the interior renovations as an inhabitable De Stijl Painting—grids tilted at 45 degrees envelop the walls and ceiling of the "Ciné-Dancing" hall with vibrant hues of red, yellow, blue, and green occupying the irregular spaces between. Only two years later, Mies van der Rohe would seemingly transform Mondrian's 1917 Composition in Colour A into the broad expanses of glass, marble, travertine, and steel defining the Barcelona Pavilion. Architectural interest in Mondrian's work would wane in the years leading up to the second World War until post-war consumerism drove the development of George Nelson's primary color-blocked StorageWall of 1945—bringing the artist's work to the scale of home storage—while the vibrant aluminium panels in Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé and Sonia Delaunay's Bookcase linked Neo Plasticism with domestic display.  © <a href='https://www.flickr.com/photos/laurenmanning/8008065034'>Flickr user Lauren Manning</a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/'>CC BY 2.0</a> With the inauguration of Arts & Architecture's Case Study House Program, design duo Charles and Ray Eames modified the artist's black grids into prefabricated steel frames for the bold cladding wrapping the two volumes of their 1949 Case Study House #8. In designing a prototypical, prefabricated structure in response to the housing boom, Mondrian's abstracted planes and grids naturally complimented industrial production and war-born techniques to bring domestic architecture to the masses. Similar bold primary colors accented the balconies of Le Corbusier's brutalist utopia Unite d'Habitiation in 1952 and would eventually appear on the Pavilion Le Corbusier as color-blocked enamel paneling. Even fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent adapted Mondrian's graphic grid into a sack dress in 1965.  via City of Hague Mondrian's lasting influence on architecture is still present today—from the Mondrian Hotel in LA and the Mondrian Residences in Muntinlupa, Philippines to the cladding of Richard Meier's 1955 City Hall of the Hague Netherlands, which was repainted in early 2017 to celebrate De Stijl's centennial. Whether employed alongside new manufacturing techniques or structural capacities, the language of Mondrian's abstraction has fascinated architects in their exploration of new spatial types. The artist's vision for the plasticity of the built world allowed him to interrogate the reductive idea of architecture as mass, instead considering it as a dynamic framework connected to the essential shapes and rhythms of human life. See more interpretations of Mondrian's work below.

 © Agnès Clotis Text description provided by the architects. The Sablonceaux cemetery extension project represented for us the first opportunity to intervene on a protected site. A way to reaffirm our point of view on an located architecture, able to jostle and surprise while respectfully insert in its context. An architecture that is both touching and expressive.  Courtesy of A6A  Floor Plan  © Agnès Clotis The project is located at the foot of the Abbey, in the extension of the old cemetery. On a sloping ground towards a river, in a close relationship with the territory, it seeks to integrate delicately without modifying the topography. Thus, the new cemetery can be read like a line in the landscape, a new stratum.  Courtesy of A6A The constructed elements come to underline the Abbey. The use of "site concrete" constitutes the link between our intervention and the existing one. We want to establish a continuity in the materials, based on their expressive truth.  © Agnès Clotis  © Agnès Clotis Go for the limestone where the stones of the Abbey could be extracted. Use it differently, in a contemporary way. Draw inside the memory of the place. These walls mark the new entrance and invite you to contemplate from a new angle the monument. A course is defined around it, accentuated by the declivity of the field. Inside, the columbarium rises in front of us, hiding and revealing the existing wall, in a game of depths and rhythms that highlights the present stone, the passing time.  © Agnès Clotis An elevated platform, like a promontory on the landscape, establishes the transition between the old cemetery and its extension. Inside it that the Jardin des Souvenirs takes place. It becomes a place of singular meditation, held by the expressive force of the concrete sails. A privileged place to contemplate the landscape running away, seek a horizon in the Charente plain, a position to think about the paths traveled.  © Agnès Clotis  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Design a Bathroom for People with Disabilities by Downloading this Basic Revit Sample Model Posted: 01 Apr 2018 01:00 AM PDT  Cortesía de Bradley Corporation USA As the profession becomes more aware of the variety of users who will use their architectural creations it is necessary to consider certain basic rules. In the end, the idea is that a building or space can be used comfortably, effectively and (if necessary) quickly by all users. Today the use of BIM technology encourages the incorporation of pre-modeled products in projects, which facilitates the processes. However, if pre-modeled products are not inclusively designed, there is an increased possibility of overlooking these accessible considerations–especially when their architects have no experience or are unaware of accessible design guidelines. Bradley Corporation USA, a manufacturer of plumbing fixtures and bathroom accessories, has developed standard models of bathrooms for people with disabilities, delivering the basic requirements that must be incorporated according to the guidelines specified by organizations such as the ADA and the ANSI. Below we present an example of an accessible bathroom for a single person, incorporating, among other things, a touchless handwashing sink (all-in-one: soap, water, and hand dryer) and a series of safety bars. Before including it in your project, don't forget to check the local regulations of your country/region. Download the complete file and each of the products used, separately, here.
