 © Francisco Nogueira Text description provided by the architects. The neighborhood of Caselas, Lisbon, was built in 1949 and designed by architect Antonio Couto Martins. With a regular and orthogonal organization this neighborhood is characterized by the adaptation of its urban fabric to some pre-existing elements, such as the Church, which served as a reference to its main axes.  Elevation The location, on the edge of Parque Florestal de Monsanto, gives it a very unique and calm atmosphere typical of the villages that inspired its design. It is a low income neighborhood of townhouses composed of areas with buildings with two small floors that where the general morphological characteristics have been maintained.  © Francisco Nogueira This project seeks to adapt the existing building to the daily needs and the main challenge is the adaptation of very small spaces, characteristic of these houses, to the contemporary experience.  © Francisco Nogueira Respecting the morphology of the building the intervention is a strategic addition of two volumes. Facing south, the narrow volume of one storey takes the various eras of construction to the front street. On the back a volume of three storeys seeks to address the main needs of the program creating spaces with adequate dimensions to the use of the house.  © Francisco Nogueira Distributing the house on three storeys of modest dimensions the project seeks to explore in the outside the characteristics of rural life present in this kind of neighborhood. The organization and distribution of spaces was based on privacy and relationship to the garden and to the social spaces of the house.  © Francisco Nogueira In the basement floor we can find a social bathroom, laundry room and an office/living room open to a patio. Upstairs there are bedrooms and a bathroom. On the ground floor of house entrance, we can find the living room, dining room and kitchen, all in a spacious living a very strong relationship with the exterior.  © Francisco Nogueira  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Kevin Dolmaire Text description provided by the architects. The site is located in Lyon, in the changing district of Confluences, block D. The plot is intimately related to its context; especially at the Sonny Anderson football field and related sports facilities. The site is bordered to the North and East by 2 sets of large housing. It then opens on the quays, the Saone and the hill of Sainte Foy-Lès-Lyon with a perspective that also emerges very widely to the South.  © Kevin Dolmaire This situation totally liberates the view and gives the building a major importance in the perception of the entire neighborhood. The campus includes the following schools: Superior school of artistic works (ESMA), School of Photography and Game Design (ETPA), School of Cinema & Audiovisual Professions (CinéCréatis) and a student residence of 224 studios including 45 in colocation spaces. We wanted to break down very clearly the two functions of the program which is superposed: school and residence for students.  © Kevin Dolmaire First, the socle formed by the school and its means of access is defined. The "shell", massive and protective, thus contains work spaces. Studious and controlled atmosphere. It characterizes the school envelope, dressed in a copper-colored metallic skin, partially pixelated. An amphitheater of 200 seats finds its place at the forecourt. The cafeteria and its panoramic space between school and residence are superimposed on him. This set thus forms a coherence inscribed in the verticality and signal on the river side. An event program can be welcomed.  © Kevin Dolmaire The "superstructures" are constituted by the buildings of the residence, bodied by metal bins of satin natural aluminum shade to hang the light with a set of perforated sliding shutters. We wanted to insert between these two functions an open space, an urban terrace at the 3rd floor, and thus restoring a space of life, exchanges, distribution that the smallness of the plot does not allow to create on the ground.  © Kevin Dolmaire This partially protected and shaded area contributes to visual permeability to the South from the adjoining North building and the boulevard. Users come here like on the deck of a ship, taking advantage of the unobstructed view to the South of the neighborhood, the river and the hill.

 © Max Hart Nibbrig Text description provided by the architects. A family of three generations wishes to live together in one large family home. Southeast of the city centre of Amsterdam they find a building plot. In this metropolitan area, the railway and metro run closely past the house. To create a homely idyll, we designed the house with a raised robust wall towards the city noise that folds around the enclosed garden. Since the children and grandchildren live in the upper quarters, all floors have generous outdoor spaces that step up from the groundfloor garden to the upper balconies.  Plan 00 The different spaces in the large house borrow their specificity from the angled walls, giving directions to the views and motion through the house. Atmosphere and scale of the rooms derive from the use of cross laminated wood and wooden beams both structurally and as materialisation of the interior space.  © Max Hart Nibbrig  Section  © Max Hart Nibbrig The narrative concentrates on excercises in living closely together. This requires moments of privacy. This is established by positioning the two front doors at diagonally opposite corners. The living spaces of the families are pulled apart on the ground floor and second level to prevent noise disturbance. The first floor, with large overhangs provides privacy of views into the backyard. This allows the two households to find their own place within the larger house.  © Max Hart Nibbrig  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Chak López Text description provided by the architects. The brickwork façades are built in a non-classical way. Taking into account an increasing demand of isolation – and therefore thickness –, the classical cavity wall is expiring. Thus giving way for a plated façade which leaves more room for thicker isolation.  © Chak López For this particular project we chose to decorate the plating with brick strips in different patterns. We chose to use a warm and earthy color pattern, in the same shades as the windows (champagne and bronze colored anodizing). Compared to the existing industrial red brick façades of the old cookie factory the new brick façades seeks the same rhythm and a contrast in color.  © Chak López In the façade of the inner patio we see the same color range, but here we chose to make a very transparent façade, with a more organic form. We therefore used a curtain wall from Schüco, with glazed and opaque elements. The horizontal bullnoses break the façades into a human scale and take care of the fire compartments.  © Chak López The concrete flagstones of the inner patio are chosen in the same color range, to go with the Mediterranean colors of the facades. The stair steps, benches and tree boxes are made in the same concrete.  © Chak López The floor covering inside is the first collaboration of Tarkett and Desso. The Tarkett group took over Desso, and in the project Tarkett delivered the PVC floor covering in the hall ways, while Desso took care of the carpet in classrooms, auditoria and offices.

The Norwegian-Danish team behind several prominent education buildings in Scandinavia took inspiration from the surrounding environment, creating an interpretation of the traditional Norwegian barn common to the area. A composition of "barns" surrounding a series of "farmyards" provides the framework for various educational and social activities. The architects strive to stimulate the students by drawing nature and daylight into the school buildings through the generous glazing and timber cladding both inside and out. .jpg?1480628269 "© Kontraframe") © Kontraframe "It is the connection between learning and nature, as well as the physical link between theory and practice that has been the cornerstone in the design of this new high school", says Thomas Pedersen, the director of AART architects' Norway office. .jpg?1480628487 "Section") Section .jpg?1480628508 "Section") Section A place to meet "We believe that the students' well-being is key to creating a successful school and have provided a structure that supports the students' learning and social environment.

 © Murray Fredericks Text description provided by the architects. Randwick House is the new home of Helen and Peter, a retired couple who spend much of their time touring Australia in their Land Cruiser. When at home they park the 4WD and camping equipment in the garage and enjoy hosting friends and grandchildren.  © Murray Fredericks Randwick House is:  Elevations  © Murray Fredericks A house that discretely parks a large vehicle.  © Murray Fredericks Randwick house faces west to a busy road. Traffic volume and noise is significant. It is a flat site surrounded by one and two-storey detached houses. The front of the house aligns with both houses either side and is similar in height. The house is set back approximately 3.3 metres from the northern boundary and 1.5 metres from the southern. The front door and first floor bedroom windows face the street to provide an active street frontage. The front street wall is low, similar to adjoining houses, maintaining views between footpath and house. The house enables the owners to age-in-place. Their ground floor bedroom accommodates single- level living. First floor bedrooms and second living space are for visiting grandchildren. A lift supports first floor access. A pool was required and four bedrooms, a covered outdoor entertaining area, garden area, high ceilings, visual and acoustic privacy from neighbours, and reduce traffic noise from the busy street, all on a limited budget.  © Murray Fredericks  Section  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

.jpg?1532385662 "© Lee Namsun") © Lee Namsun Text description provided by the architects. Children have a different scale perception than adults. At a young age, everything looks larger in size than when we see it as adults. The project focuses on the idea of scaling down the perception of the building so that the future young users can relate more to it. In order to achieve this goal the massing of the building is divided into five smaller volumes. Each of them has a distinctive color, geometry and finishing material to emphasize the smaller ones among the overall mass. .jpg?1532385496 "© Lee Namsun") © Lee Namsun Windows also contribute to the overall idea of scale perception. They are designed in various sizes and heights so that all users –children from one to five years and adults- can have direct views to the exterior. No matter what the height of the user will be, there will be always a window that adjusts to it.  Concept .jpg?1532385854 "© Lee Namsun") © Lee Namsun The building is located in the junction between two roads. The main entrance of the building opens towards the wider road consequently the entrance is designed so that children cannot have a direct exit to the road but rather through a transition space. This space serves as a safety area but also as a playground and as a buffer zone between classes and the traffic's noise coming from the main road. For safety reasons, the parking area is located on the opposite side from the main entrance with access for vehicles from the secondary road. .jpg?1532386087 "© Lee Namsun") © Lee Namsun The building is organized around a central stair painted in blue color with a large skylight on the roof that allows natural light access to the heart of the building. Classrooms open towards this space. .jpg?1532386004 "© Lee Namsun") © Lee Namsun .jpg?1532386036 "© Lee Namsun") © Lee Namsun Classrooms are orientated to south and east while the serving programs such as kitchen, storages, elevator, and bathrooms are orientated towards the north. A greenhouse is located on the third floor that not only acts as part of the educational program but also as a heating system during the cold days of the winter. The warm air accumulated during the day is released later in the evening to the inner spaces contributing to the overall air treatment of the building.

| Regent's Park Open Air Theatre / Reed Watts Architects Posted: 26 Jul 2018 02:00 PM PDT  © Simone Kennedy
 © Simone Kennedy Text description provided by the architects. Reed Watts Architects have completed new building housing new rehearsal studios and catering kitchen for the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre in Westminster, Central London. The 480m2 project was built in just seven months amongst the protected Royal Parks trees and brings together the theatre's operations onto one site for the first time in its 86 year history.  Ground Floor Plan The structure is constructed from a prefabricated, cross-laminated timber (CLT) panel system. This lightweight structure was erected quickly (during the winter season when the Theatre was closed) and required relatively small foundations, thus reducing the impact on neighboring tree roots. Externally, the building is clad in a band of darkly stained larch at the base, with a crown of textured cladding at higher levels. The cladding has been designed so that it presents a black restrained façade to public sides (Inner circle and Nannies lawn) with a richer golden texture visible from the Theatre.  © Simone Kennedy Located in the far corner of the site the new structure is surrounded by mature trees, and so the approach is recessive and thoughtful design, which reads as a natural extension to the existing Theatre buildings along the boundary edge. At ground level, the new space is split into two with a new catering wing providing food for audience and staff which is wrapped around the double-height studio. The floor above provides further rehearsal spaces and a green room.  © David Jensen The new studio is an innovative and adaptable rehearsal space that suits the needs of the theatre's productions including dancers, actors, and acrobats who had previously relied on off-site facilities. The open 14.3m x 10m studio includes 4.1 high ceilings and a full height mirror and curtain, natural light and a glimpse of the adjacent trees is provided via roof lights and a large framed window, all which can be blacked out by integrated blinds. The studio also includes sprung floor which has a Harlequin vinyl finish with underfloor heating. The space is mechanically ventilated (and cooled) from ductwork at a high level.  Axonometry  © Simone Kennedy The new kitchen facilities double the catering space that was previously on the site which allows the theatre to improve and broaden its food offer. The kitchen provides stations for 5 chefs and also includes a server which colorfully opens out pre-show onto the picnic lawn. In a further reference back to the woodland setting, the CLT frame is exposed in circulation spaces including the stair which leads to further rehearsal spaces and green room on the first floor.  © Simone Kennedy Given the sensitive nature of the site extensive consultation was required with Westminster, Royal Parks, and local stakeholders to secure planning permission and conservation area consent. This is the second project on the site for Reed Watts having completed backstage storage works last year. Future works, planned for next year, include landscape enhancements and modifications to some existing buildings to further improve the unique site.

 © Satoru Umetsu／Nacasa & Partners Inc. Text description provided by the architects. You'll find Japanese yakiniku restaurants everywhere, if it comes to the quality of meat, at some point everything tastes good, which makes the competition in Japan very high. To make a unique restaurant can thus be quite a challenge. If one has to choose a yakiniku restaurant in the Roppongi district of Tokyo, the restaurant should not only provide premium meat, but also a memorable experience for the customer. Barbeque is a dining experience that normally is the best in a natural environment with your friends. You will not only experience having good food, but also the fun you have with your friends, and the earth and greenery around you, which all stimulates your senses.  © Satoru Umetsu／Nacasa & Partners Inc.  Plan To create a similar experience inspired by nature, the first floor resembles a cave-like setting, which has a unique look you would not really find in actual nature. The walls are constructed to look like a real cave wall. The herringbone glass floor represents the flowing of water, and under the table you will find and feel gravel made of glass that gives you the experience as if you are really sitting near a river. In addition, the unique table makes it appear like smoke is trapped inside, that contributes to the atmosphere, bringing you back to the time of how our ancient ancestor dined.  © Satoru Umetsu／Nacasa & Partners Inc. Dining on the second floor is like sitting in the middle of a forest. You are surrounded by trees made of steel pipes and the greenery on the wall. The tables and floor are made of multi-layered OSB panels which has natural contour lines. As the tables are all on different levels, it allows you to have the privacy with your loved ones that makes the dining experience something more memorable and private. The steel pipes has hooks on which you can hang your bag or your jacket that will make it appear like flowers in vibrant colours and gives a nice touch the space.  © Satoru Umetsu／Nacasa & Partners Inc. This design does not only rely on the eye-catching visuals and the taste of quality meat, but it is compatible with the tactile sense and experience that will be engraved deeply in the memory. Such a special restaurant is a place you want to go to with your loved ones, that will create an even more special experience of the good food and the precious time you created with your friends.  © Satoru Umetsu／Nacasa & Partners Inc.

 © Hey!Cheese Text description provided by the architects. The premises of this case is located in Haidian District of Beijing City. The owners of the home are a young couple with a young son. The master is a software engineer who usually works at home. He loves a simple and brisk style. The mistress is an editor of architecture books who longs to have a corner dedicated to allowing her to concentrate on her writing. They purchased a 35 "ping" (~116 square meter) home with a bare interior. For this family of three, the space is slightly small. The uncommon slanted ceiling design was an even greater challenge.  Axonometric & Section HAO Design believed that construction of the ceiling, despite its difficulty, was actually its most beautiful area, and courageously proposed to preserve the ceiling. This action also served to preserve the space advantage of the ceiling height. To prevent the floor heating and ventiliation systems obstructing the view of the structure, the design and engineering stages must be extremely accurate in order to prevent huge losses that may arise from the smallest discrepancy.  © Hey!Cheese  © Hey!Cheese To expand the sense of space, Designer made use of simple and brisk white and natural wood colors to highlight the textures of the materials and the linear design of the furniture. Open up wooden-framed big windows to accompany multi-plane glass, providing ample natural sunlight and light diffusion. The open style common space and the sliding door designs of kitchen and children's room can flexibly stretch the space, prevent oil and smoke and, when fully opened up, improve the ventilation. Achieve energy efficiency by reducing artificial lighting and air conditioning needs.  © Hey!Cheese  © Hey!Cheese The configuration of the interior and the application of furniture is concocted according to the activity time, frequency and body status of people. The upper floor above the mezzanine is the master bedroom and the study. It is a quiet place for rest, work and reading. The more spacious layer below is the socialization and games space with a higher frequency of activity. The line of sight is helpful for the parents to supervise their children. One corner of the living room is the children's room / games room. Children's attention is drawn on the triangular mountain shaped cushions and tents. The blackboard can train children's learning and imagination.  © Hey!Cheese On the principle of not overdoing the interior decoration, as soon as one is inside the home, one can feel the beauty of the high ceiling structure. The white faux weathered stones stacked on the walls project a down-to-earth and leisurely atmosphere. To give the white space layers more variety, earth cement special coating, plastic floor tiles, grey accents such as faux stone materials and metal bricks are used, while wood textures improve a home's comfort.  © Hey!Cheese Space functionality is defined by the furniture and can change dynamically to make use of the space to the maximum extent possible. This open-ended, unfixed and flexible lifestyle not only represents the future of trend, but also reflects a core value of the modern family that HAO Design has pondered -- to give to every member a comfortable body feeling and encourage a free and deep sentimental exchange.  © Hey!Cheese  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Post-Earthquake Prototype – Rural Dwelling / AL BORDE + El Sindicato Arquitectura Posted: 26 Jul 2018 11:00 AM PDT  © JAG Studio
 © JAG Studio  Problematic Infographics The Prototype: As a second life of the German pavilion for HIII, we developed a post-earthquake prototype for the rural Ecuadorian coast, which costs the same as the houses delivered by the state but better adapted to the user and the place where it is implanted.  Prototype options Infographics  Cortesía de El Sindicato Arquitectura It is an industrialized prototype, because its earthquake-resistant structure can be prefabricated in plywood and assembled in any rural area without the need for specialized machinery or workforce, the use of industrialized materials for the structure allows us to have greater efficiency in construction.  © JAG Studio  Structure Infographics It is a progressive prototype (in one or two floors) because it has two planned extensions; the first expansion is a module exactly the same as the initial and the second one, is the union between the initial and the first extension.  Possible Plans Uses It is a replicable prototype, because the structural design allows the use of typical sections of local sawn wood in any part of the country and because its constructive logic was simplified thinking about the possibility that the users could self-build the extensions.  © JAG Studio The prototype was conceived as a structural and constructive modular system that allows each project to be adapted and designed according to the conditions of each site location, so that the constructive technology of envelopes and facades vary depending on each project.  Plan The Project: Housing implanted after the earthquake of April 2016 in Los Horconcitos-Manabí rural area, to be used by a couple of grandparents who are visited by children and grandchildren sporadically, the weather and sunlight determined the orientation of the house that takes advantage of the air currents from the junction of the Chone River and the Pacific in the distance to ensure cross ventilation. In the south façade, the project seeks privacy in front of the access road to the land and the neighbors while to the north the project opens with a large window that takes advantage of the lighting and the great landscape.  © JAG Studio  Constructed Prototype Infographics On the east façade the bedrooms are located to take advantage of the morning light and in the west the public spaces to take advantage of the sunset lighting. The initial module houses the 3 bedrooms. The first extension bathroom, cellar, kitchen and an outside balcony. The second room and dining room extension.  © JAG Studio As the project was also the first application of the prototype of a plant, it was decided to experiment with the envelope technologies by building the initial module with walls of chopped cane, cement plaster and earth paint and the walls of the first extension with bahareque plaster of earth and earth paint that gives aesthetic uniformity to the whole house.

 © Matthew Millman Text description provided by the architects. The first of several Bohlin Cywinski Jackson-designed cafés to be completed for Blue Bottle, this new 1,200-square-foot South Park location transforms the street-level storefront of a former Kohler warehouse into a light-filled, deliberately minimal interior space. The design reveals the site's inherent beauty by stripping away the frivolous and unnecessary, elevating the most essential attributes of the architecture, such as original brick walls and heavy timber support columns, and enhancing the visible connection to the bustling SoMa streets.  © Matthew Millman Upon entering the café, a lattice of floating wooden boxes greets customers, creating a series of shadows and sunlight throughout the space; bags of coffee and serveware available for purchase are nestled within the framework, creating an eye-catching merchandise display. A subdued palette of warm wood, pale blue walls and concrete flooring complements the company's branding and the craft of coffee making that is the hallmark of Blue Bottle.  Cutaway New features include an iced coffee bar and the company's first-ever Mavam espresso machine, which makes only the most necessary and visually appealing machinery visible to guests; other equipment integral to the company's coffee making is incorporated into a crisp stainless steel and birch plywood bar. Patrons can sit and sip coffee on solid ash benches throughout the space, as well as banquette seating placed along the windows.  © Matthew Millman  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

 © Nelson Kon  © Nelson Kon Text description provided by the architects. The residence is implemented in a admirable natural landscape site. The project prioritized the verticalization with the purpose of occupying the area integrating the building with the environment.  © Nelson Kon  Sections The spaces are defined in two blocks with different constructive processes. The support areas has a vertical circulation and a lower deck. They were built with traditional concrete structure and stone-clad masonry. The spaces are characterized by reserved functions and small openings. The social area and the upper floor are all reserved to the owners'. It was solved with a light wooden structure closed with panels of glass and it's facing the green landscape and the wonderful view of the mountains.  © Nelson Kon One of the most concern with the Project was the scale of the house respecting the landscape. The lower floor is compact to resolve the guest rooms and fits in the very discreet terrain. At the same time, all the windows face the same mountainous landscape seen by the other rooms of the house.  © Nelson Kon The upper floor with eaves, terraces and briseis results in a defined rectangular box that covers the entire ground floor in its external areas. This block, however, with a structure lightness and closures presents itself strong but respect the nature and it relates with the scale of the trees.  © Nelson Kon Internally the spaces are all integrated through the glass doors and voids with double ceiling height. The kitchen has a wood stove and is in the center of the house between the living rooms so it's also a social living space and not just an support area.  Ground Floor Plan  © Nelson Kon  Upper Floor Plan Internamente os espaços são todos integrados, tanto interno quanto externos, através das portas de vidros e vazios com pé direito duplo.  © Nelson Kon A cozinha fica no centro de tudo e por onde tudo se passa. Com um fogão de lenha aberto para a sala, propõe-se também como espaço de convivência.  © Nelson Kon Além disso, materiais naturais como a madeira, pedra e o concreto de ripas são os acabamentos de toda a casa e resultam numa composição agradável e aconchegante no clima frio desta região.  © Nelson Kon  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Foster + Partners' Milan Apple Store Opens to the Public With Dramatic Waterfall Entrance Posted: 26 Jul 2018 07:30 AM PDT  Courtesy of Apple Apple's Piazza Liberty Store, designed by Foster + Partners, has opened to the public in Milan, Italy. The scheme is located under an existing piazza close to the Corso Vittorio Emanuele, one of the most popular pedestrian streets in Milan. The store is defined by a dramatic waterfall which surrounds the entrance while forming the backdrop to a large outdoor amphitheater. Piazza Liberty is the first Apple Store to be constructed in Italy following their retail design collaboration with Foster + Partners.  Courtesy of Apple As part of the design, the enhanced piazza has been clad in Beola Grigia, a stone extensively used in Milan, and dotted with 14 Gleditsia Sunburst trees. Open 24 hours a day, the piazza will host special events throughout the year. In a departure from traditional storefronts, the retail area is completely hidden from the public, accessible by passing between two large bodies of cascading water. Having descended the stone and metal staircase cantilevered from a Beloa Grigia wall, visitors are met with a range of creative initiatives including free hourly sessions on photography, filmmaking, music creation, and design.  Courtesy of Apple
The Piazza Liberty Store is not the only Foster + Partners-designed Apple Store to open to the public in recent times, with the opening of Apple Cotai Central in Macau occurring on June 29th.

| MAD's Yabuli Conference Centre Celebrates the Rugged, Snow-Capped Terrain of Northeastern China Posted: 26 Jul 2018 07:00 AM PDT  © MIR The groundbreaking ceremony has occurred for MAD Architects' China Entrepreneur Forum Conference Centre, settled in the mountains of Yabuli in Northeastern China. A snow-capped mountainous landscape known for its rugged terrain and freezing temperatures, Yabuli is home to the annual summit of the China Entrepreneur Forum (CEF) considered to be the "Davos of Asia." MAD's scheme, also referred to as the "Yabuli Conference Centre" seeks to embody and showcase the "ambitions, ideologies, and forward critical thinking of CEF members" through a tent-like structure defined by soft, sloping lines.  © MIR  © MIR While humble in its presence settling quietly into the landscape, the scheme embodies the dynamic atmosphere of northern China, mirroring its mountainous surroundings. Organized over four floors, the 170,000-square-foot (16,000-square-meter) design contains a museum, small 356-seat auditorium, larger 1000-seat auditorium, and a series of conference halls, studios, and exhibition areas.  © MIR  © MIR The scheme's focal point is its skylight, positioned on the roof's 80-foot-high (24-meter-high) peak to allow natural light to flood the interior. The showcase skylight also serves as a metaphor for the scheme's entrepreneurial function, symbolizing the "bright ideas and brilliant discussions generated during the events held within." Throughout the scheme, windows have been positioned to create uninterrupted panoramas of the surrounding landscape, while public plazas at the front and rear open the building up towards its natural backdrop.

Throughout the design process, MAD worked in collaboration with executive architect China Architecture Design & Research Group, façade consultant Shanghai Kighton, and landscape architect BJF International Design. News of the scheme's groundbreaking comes weeks after the topping out of MAD's first US project, an 18-unit "Gardenhouse" in Beverly Hills.

| 510 House / Johnsen Schmaling Architects Posted: 26 Jul 2018 06:00 AM PDT  © John J. Macaulay
 © John J. Macaulay Text description provided by the architects. The 510 House is a private residence located in a postwar suburb on Milwaukee's north shore, its volume carefully embedded in the site's gently sloping contours and cradled by the mature trees lining the property's edges. The program was organized as two interlocking building forms, their "T" configuration bifurcating the site into a "public" entry court for visitors and vehicles, and a private, visually shielded greenspace in the back. Parking, service functions, and the main bedroom suite are consolidated in a long, single-story bar, a narrow, wood-clad volume that straddles the two sides of the property along its western edge. Spaces for guests and entertainment are housed in a complementary, perpendicular volume defined by a continuous concrete block ribbon that engages the wood-clad bar, negotiates the dropping topography of the site, and ultimately folds up to form an elevated observatory with views of the surrounding tree tops and the shores of Lake Michigan in the near distance.  Exploded Axonometric The deeply recessed entry vestibule, marking the junction of the two interlocking building forms, provides access to both private and public quarters and leads into the adjacent open living hall – the social epicenter of the home where the owners and their guests can cook, dine, and lounge together, all in a commodious space defined by a series of carefully variegated, green-hued perimeter walls.  © John J. Macaulay The color green, whose spectral wavelength of 510 nanometers became the project's namesake, serves as an architectural device to infuse the interior year-round with the lush tones of summer's verdant but short-lived greenery surrounding the site – an abstract and deliberately cheerful echo of nature's chromatic vibrancy, particularly potent during those long, protracted winter months when the actual apertures of the house frame somber views into Wisconsin's frozen landscape. As the seasons turn and the northern winter begins to bleach the surroundings, the walls' immutably vibrant chroma progressively contrasts the changing conditions outside, serving as a quiet memento of the passing of time and a hopeful reminder of nature's impending renewal. The green perimeter walls extend their interior hues to the exterior, where they express the volume of the living hall as the building's proud piano nobile – a distinct and intelligible architectural element suspended within the folding concrete ribbon of the main building mass to formally emphasize the primary activity hub of the house.  © John J. Macaulay An open, linear kitchen runs along one side of the living hall. The pantry wall transforms into a continuous wooden ceiling liner that spatially defines the dining and lounging area and folds down at the opposite end to accommodate the built-in media cabinet. A complimentary small sitting area faces the kitchen island and is backed by tall sheets of glass that enclose the delicate steel stairs beyond. The stairs lead up to the observatory, which provides access to an expansive vegetated roof, and down.  © John J.

Image Courtesy of Harvard GSD The Harvard Graduate School of Design (Harvard GSD) has selected Herzog & de Meuron and Beyer Blinder Belle as the design team for a "significant transformation" of the School's iconic Gund Hall campus building. The proposed expansion will include the integration of a new space into the School's existing structure, with the goal of creating a facility which "will embody the School's visionary and cross-disciplinary work at the intersection of design, pedagogy, research, and practice."  Gund Hall. Image Courtesy of Harvard GSD The project will seek to encourage new forms of cross-disciplinary collaboration, creating an intersection point between the GSD's current studio workspaces known as "the trays" and new interior spaces for informal meetings, social gatherings, and public programs. The addition will have a minimal impact on the building footprint, hence preserving the GSD's green space and basketball court.  Gund Hall. Image Courtesy of Harvard GSD

| Nutrisa / Cadena Concept Design Posted: 26 Jul 2018 04:00 AM PDT  © The Raws
 © The Raws Text description provided by the architects. The relaunch of a 47 year old very successful brand in Mexico was no easy task, a brand that is centered in making people feel good through their natural products and amazing yogurt ice-cream. The design challenge began by constructing culture towards the brand spirit from the inside-out, making people feel part of the new journey about to begin. The bee had been their iconic symbol since the beginning and although it made perfect sense it had never connected them to their true Mexican roots. So the journey began strengthening our symbols by understanding the amazing Mexican bee (Melipona Beechei) Xunan-Cab called by the ancient Mayans. This sense of belonging is spread not only through understanding our past but also very importantly, through projecting innovation and a clear vision of the brands future.  Plan  © The Raws Design strategies were focused on integrating the striped condition of the bee with the ludic and polychromatic spirit of the -trompo- (Spinning Tops), multi-colored stripes made of pristine materials as mosaic and terrazzo speak of freshness, wellness, flavor, history, modernity and a true neo-mexican spirit.  © The Raws Re-defining the product as a natural ice-cream parlor enriched by quality and delicious products that make your life better, became the core of the project : Natural indulgence! Now, the brand will not only be successful, their mission statement will be to be promoters of wellness, conservation, quality and flavor and their basic goal… Create Smiles!  © The Raws  © The Raws  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| 25 Examples of Vernacular Housing From Around the World Posted: 26 Jul 2018 02:30 AM PDT  © <a href='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2d/Pfahlbaumuseum_Unteruhldingen_amk.jpg'>Creative Commons user AngMoKio </a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/'>CC BY-SA 3.0</a> Where do people live around the world? It seems self-evident that most residential architecture is not as focused on aesthetics as the pristine, minimalist villas that cover the pages of design magazines (and, admittedly, websites like this one). As entertaining as it is to look at those kinds of houses, they're not representative of what houses look like more generally. Most people live in structures built in the style of their region's vernacular—that is, the normal, traditional style that has evolved in accordance with that area's climate or culture. While strict definitions of residential vernacular architecture often exclude buildings built by professional architects, for many people the term has come to encompass any kind of house that is considered average, typical, or characteristic of a region or city. Check out our list below to broaden your lexicon of residential architecture. 1. Triple-Decker Image <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:JP_double_three_decker.jpg'>via Wikimedia</a> (public domain) The triple-decker is a much-beloved wood frame apartment building that is commonly found in New England towns and cities. The structures were originally used to house large numbers of immigrants who worked in factories during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. 2. Yurt © <a href='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9b/Gurvger.jpg'>Adagio</a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en/'>CC BY-SA 3.0</a> Usually found in Central Asia, a Yurt consists of a wood or bamboo frame covered in skins, canvas, or felt. 3. Plattenbau © <a href='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e1/Wohnsiedlung-Wassertorplatz-Bergfriedstr-Berlin-Kreuzberg-Okt-2016.jpg'>Creative Commons user Gunnar Klack</a> licensed under <a href=https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/'>CC BY-SA 4.0</a> A Plattenbau is a building made of large concrete slabs; while prefabricated concrete apartment buildings were common in many countries from the 1960s onward, the Plattenbau as a specific building type is associated with East Germany, where designs were so systematized that they can be categorized into a small number of different types. 4. Khrushchevka © <a href='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8a/Panel_Khrushchev_house_in_Tomsk.jpg'>Creative Commons user MaxiMaxiMax</a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en/'>CC BY-SA 3.0</a> Also built in the 1960s, the Khrushchevka is the Plattenbau's counterpart in the Soviet Union. These apartments are named for Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev who mandated that the housing units be built. Many of the apartment blocks were designated as "disposable," meaning they had a 25 year lifespan; as a result, many have been demolished and replaced with denser high-rises in Moscow in recent years, and a 2017 plan by the city government promises to demolish a further 8,000 of the buildings. 5. Railroad Apartment Image <a href='https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Railroad_style_house_example.jpg'>via Wikimedia</a> (public domain) Often found in New York City and San Francisco, these thin apartments mimic the shape of a railroad car to save space in high-density areas. Rooms are accessible from one long hallway, like cabins in a passenger train. 6. Shotgun House Image <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Shotgun_houses_%E2%80%93_slight_cropped.jpg'>via Wikimedia</a> (public domain) A shotgun house or apartment is similar to a railroad house or apartment in that rooms are lined up in a row; however, shotgun houses never have a hallway, so residents must go through each room to get to the next (a setup that can prove difficult when living with roommates). 7. Trinity Image <a href='https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:243_Delancey_Street,_Philadelphia.jpg'>via Wikimedia</a> (public domain) These colonial-era houses found mostly in Philadelphia are the vertical answer to the shotgun apartment. Three floors stacked atop one another each hold one room. The floors are connected by a spiral staircase. 8. Terraced House © <a href='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/64/Edith_Avenue_in_Moss_Side.jpg'>Creative Commons user Manchesterphotos</a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en/'>CC BY-SA 3.0</a> The terraced house (or terrace house, townhouse, or row house, depending on where you are in the world) is a catchall term for neighboring houses that share a party wall on either side. Stylistic variations based on region (of which there are many) include the outdoor staircase common in Montreal and the Italianate wrought iron balcony common in New Orleans and Australia. 9. Back-to-Back-House © <a href='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/54/Harold_Grove_LS6_8_July_2017.jpg'>Creative Commons user Chemical Engineer</a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/'>CC BY-SA 4.0</a> Much like the triple-decker in New England, thousands of back-to-back houses were built in the United Kingdom during the industrial revolution to house large populations of factory workers. Three of the house's four walls are shared with tightly packed neighboring houses, so only the front of the house has windows and doors. 10. Bay-and-Gable © <a href='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/18/Bay-and-gable_2.JPG'>Creative Commons user SimonP</a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/'>CC BY-SA 3.0</a> Narrow lots in Toronto gave way to the bay-and-gable style at the end of the nineteenth century, when ornate, red-brick two-story houses began cropping up all over the city. The style was easily reproducible and the Victorian aesthetic popular. 11. Ranch House Image <a href='https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ewing-Snell_Ranch_House_MT_NPS.jpg'>via Wikimedia</a> (public domain) Usually built to house the burgeoning American middle class during the middle of the 20th century, these one-story houses with a wide floor plan are still ubiquitous in the American suburbs. 12. Chalet © <a href='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/Swiss_chalet.jpg'>Creative Commons user Cristo Vlahos</a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/'>CC BY-SA 3.0</a> With wide eaves, this wooden two-story house originated in Switzerland to house farmers living in the Alps. The word "chalet" has varied meanings around the world today, but the original Swiss style has been consistently adapted for mountain homes worldwide, many of which are still referred to as chalets. 13. Bungalow © <a href='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/08/Falconer_Bungalow_Historic_District_2.JPG'>Creative Commons user Thshriver</a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/'>CC BY-SA 3.0</a> While the word "bungalow" has different definitions around the world, in most countries it denotes a low-rise house with a small porch. Brick bungalows are extremely common in Chicago, where nearly a third of the city's housing stock employs the style. The California Bungalow, which includes a first floor and a small second floor loft, originated in Bengal, India, before gaining popularity on Los Angeles; it grew to be even more so in Australia for much of the twentieth century, where many suburban houses use regional adaptations of the style. 14. Thatched Cottage © <a href='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/10/Tully_Cross_thatched_cottage.jpg'>Creative Commons user Lindy Buckley</a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/'>CC BY 2.0</a> Any structure with a roof made of vegetation is considered thatched, so variations of this building type can be found in countries as disparate as Japan and England. 15. Hanok © <a href='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/32/Area_west_of_Bukchon_Hanok_Village_D.JPG'>Creative Commons user Sakaori</a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/'>CC BY-SA 3.0</a> A hanok is a traditional Korean house. The style varies based on region and class, meaning that even small huts and large palaces can be considered hanoks, provided they have wide wooden floors and a floor-based heating system. 16. Igloo © <a href='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5e/Iglu_1999-04-02.jpg'>Creative Commons user Ansgar Walk</a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/'>CC BY-SA 2.5</a> Built by Inuit populations in Greenland and Canada, igloos made of snowbrick follow precise building methods to ensure structural integrity. Igloos can be built in many sizes, some with many rooms that can house up to 20 people. 17. Favela Houses © Solène Veysseyre In Brazilian slums (favelas), houses constructed using lightweight, low-cost materials do not follow a specific code or style; instead, many of the small houses grow in an ad-hoc fashion as new generations enter a family. Read more on favela architecture here. 18. Izba © <a href='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/77/Russia-Suzdal-MWAPL-House_of_Poor_Peasant-1.jpg'>Creative Commons user Alex Zelenko</a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/'>CC BY-SA 4.0</a> The izba, a traditional Russian countryside home, was usually built with ornately carved wood in a log cabin-like structure. While elements of the izba are still common in rural Russian houses, only the older examples are referred to as "izbas." 19. Sears Houses Image <a href='http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/highsm/item/2010640757/'>via the Libray of Congress Carol M Highsmith Archive</a> (public domain) 70,000 American homes built between 1908 and 1940 were ordered from Sears catalogs. All the materials needed to build a house were delivered to the homeowner, who then employed a contractor or assembled the parts themselves with their neighbors. Customers could customize their house with different elements from the catalog, but most Sears houses were designed in revivalist styles. Read more on catalog housing here. 20. Mews Image <a href='https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dunworth.mews.london.arp.jpg'>via Wikimedia</a> (public domain) This collection of residences, which features two-story houses opening onto a small alley or pedestrian street, is traditionally found in Britain, where examples date back to the 14th century. Usually, the ground floor is home to a carriage house, while the upper floors house living quarters. In contemporary mews, most ground floors have been converted to living space as well. Examples of mews can also be found outside of Britain, but the term is less common in other countries. 21. Toothpick Apartments © <a href='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/HK_Central_%E8%B4%8A%E5%96%84%E9%87%8C_Chancery_Lane_serviced_apartments_The_Mood_%40_SOHO_facade_Jan-2012.jpg'>Creative Commons user Shek Mok YU </a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/'>CC BY-SA 3.0</a> Usually found in Hong Kong, these apartment buildings usually house just one apartment per floor. In turn, the buildings are very thin, as their name suggests. 22. Stilt House © <a href='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2d/Pfahlbaumuseum_Unteruhldingen_amk.jpg'>Creative Commons user AngMoKio </a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/'>CC BY-SA 3.0</a> Stilt houses are raised structures that sit on an elevated platform over a body of water. The structures are still common in regions of Central America and Oceania, especially northeast Nicaragua and Papua New Guinea. 23. Radburn Housing © <a href='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/02/Redpoll_Way_and_Redstart_Way_in_Abbeymead%2C_Gloucester.JPG'>Creative Commons user AmosWolfe </a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/'>CC BY-SA 4.0</a> This unique style of housing originated in Radburn, New Jersey and features houses whose backs face the street and whose fronts face each other around a common yard. The style has been used for public housing in the United Kingdom and suburbs in Australia and Canada. 24. Four Plus One.jpg?1531676839 "© <a href='https://www.flickr.com/photos/paytonc/57346263'>Flickr user Peyton Chung </a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/'>CC BY 2.0</a>") © <a href='https://www.flickr.com/photos/paytonc/57346263'>Flickr user Peyton Chung </a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/'>CC BY 2.0</a> Found in Chicago, the four plus one is a modernist housing block named for its four floors of apartments that sit atop a first floor with a lobby or parking. 25. Chattel House © <a href='https://www.flickr.com/photos/rufusowliebat/5288673913/'>Flickr user rufusowliebat</a> licensed under <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/'>CC BY 2.0</a> A chattel house is a moveable, wooden house. In Barbados, where the term originated, homeowners did not usually own the land their house sat on, so the portable nature of their homes was helpful in times of landlord tenant disputes; the homeowner could simply move their house to a different plot of land.
