Corten steel

Located in the district of Trafalgar, in the city of Madrid, Spain, this apartment brings with it the historic style of 1945, the year in which it was built. It was from this that we defined the type of relationship we wanted between this pre-existence of almost 80 years and our design.  Caption   To further enhance the historic style of the building, including its interior, we have inserted very specific pieces of contemporary design that have established an intense dialogue. This dialogue was not one of agreement, reaffirmation, complementation, much less of mimicry. We wanted to make it clear that different times can exist together in the same space, as long as they are guided by a correct harmonization of colors, textur... Mehr

The ancient and sculptural fig tree (figueira, in Portuguese), with the organic nature of its branches, contrasts with the hardness of the concrete structure on the façade. It houses the bedrooms in the upper floor, and it protects the dwelling from the harsh, polar winds blowing from the south. On the ground floor, a longitudinal structure of Corten steel and glass protrude the living space towards the water. The solarium incorporates the bedrooms, with a view to the horizon of Porto Alegre. The aedicule, located half a flight lower in the terrain, was designed as a space for leisure and contemplation of the main building. The black pool mirrors the building and is a startling feature below the bridge by the wooden deck. Inside,... Mehr

This expansive residence was designed for a retired couple looking for a summer home where their extended family could all gather and spend time together. Located in the harsh climate of the Northumberland Strait in Black Point, Nova Scotia, the architectural design pushes the limit of maritime vernacular seaside fishing and boat sheds. The building’s form is comprised of three geometric volumes which relate to programmatic function. One gable structure is dedicated to shared living spaces, and the second to sleeping and bathing. This organization can also be read as the dichotomy of prospect and refuge. The third volume is the program’s circulation, it skewers the two structures, creating indoor and outdoor connections between... Mehr

Die Arbeit wurde unter der Prämisse des Kunden konzipiert: "farm-to-table". Von diesem Konzept ausgehend und unter Berücksichtigung der Eigenschaften der Gartenumgebung des Ortes, wurde eine einfache Typologie gedacht, von einzigartigem und flexiblem Raum, umgeben von der Natur. Wo der Speisesaal im zentralen Bereich koexistiert, die offene Küche an einem Ende und die Bar am anderen. Das Gebäude ist in eines der beiden für das Projekt zur Verfügung stehenden Grundstücke eingepflanzt, von der Trennwand abgetrennt, um einen Service-Eingang zu ermöglichen und das verbleibende Grundstück für die Entwicklung des Bio-Gartens zu belassen, durch den das Lokal betreten wird und der wiederum der zu en...

Slow down, disconnect, become captivated by the vastness of the landscape and think.  To reach the walkway-lookout requires a physical and mental effort. The village of LLamo, with only a dozen inhabitants, marks the beginning of the walking route. We enter the Aramo Mountains, a mythical place of European mining, whose presence dates back no less than the Neolithic (4500 BC). The point of arrival is the Rioseco Mining Village,  which was created with British capital in the late nineteenth century and remained active until the 60s of the twentieth century. The proposal puts in value the natural landscape and industrial heritage, history and memory of the mining of our country. The walway is integrated with the slope of the top... Mehr

The brief for Naroon Road was to create a contemporary back garden and a place of casual yet sophisticated entertaining; a place for weekend family time and for the children to wind down and relax with their friends. The vibe was to be ‘inner-city Melbourne’ that encapsulates the essence of the laneway café culture and the central Claret Ash Tree was to be protected at all cost. As such, a palette of materials including recycled clinker bricks, bluestone cladding, Stringybark timber and cantilevered timber arbors with steel infills were chosen. A pizza oven, BBQ, large decking area and firepit were added to tick the ‘family entertaining’ box. The biggest design challenge was the 10m lap pool and adjoining spa... Mehr

The full house develops on a single floor: Joan Guillamat the day area, consisting of a living-dining room, kitchen a... Mehr

Ziedlejas "nature spa" ist ein Wellness-Resort, das für eine langsame, eindringliche Auszeit abseits der Menschenmassen im waldreichen Gauja-Nationalpark in Lettland geschaffen wurde. Das Erbe beeinflusste das Gesamtkonzept des Resorts, lokale Bräuche und Glaubensvorstellungen leiteten Entscheidungen wie die Wahl der Materialien und der angebotenen Dienstleistungen.

Die beiden aktuellen Saunagebäude bleiben der Tradition in Bezug auf den Zweck - Reinigung von Körper, Geist und Seele - treu, aber öffnen AD verbesserte Ästhetik und Funktionalit&a... Mehr

This presentation reveals the design of a four-storey residential building in a region of ​​rising urban development in Nea Penteli, Attica in Greece, consisting of two double-storey apartments (duplex) and three family flats: the first two are intended for the parcel owners while the family units for sell or rent. The duplex apartments are developed throughout the main facade facing South. The treatment of the building envelope with the distinct "breaking" of the volumes  and the selective use of irregular geometric masses and voids, was intended to keep the building form "down to earth" and achieve, at the same time, a clear facade division of the two units, yet always within one unifying composition. The slim, prismatic section pr... Mehr

Pious place of eternal rest with forest park for everyday use. Unique for its small valleys, hills and loose composition. Terrain modelling used as an optical barrier to burial areas. The world of the living and the world of those, who passed away, together in close contact.

The natural character of the area is characterized by high and low greenery. A large area is set for each gravesite. Decoration of graves is preferred only with natural materials and greenery. Grave units are evenly arranged, the public greenery is professionally and sustainably maintained and there is an ac... Mehr

Elm Tree Place hat seine Wurzeln in der zeitgenössischen australischen Architektur. Ursprünglich von Nonda Katsalidis Mitte der 1980er Jahre entworfen, hat Eastop Architects die bestehenden Gegebenheiten durch einen sehr kontrollierten Einsatz von Materialität und Licht neu gestaltet, um eine Abfolge von kontrastreichen und ausdrucksstarken Raumerlebnissen zu schaffen. Das Design wurde durch einen elementaren Ansatz konzipiert - Wände, Böden und die Artikulation von Licht werden sowohl als physische als auch räumliche Klingen betrachtet, in denen der Raum definiert wird. Das Äußere ist elementar in der Form und experimentell in der Materialität. Cortenstahl wurde geölt, um den Patinierungs... Mehr
