SAOTA renovates 19th century farm buildings by stripping away earlier refurbishments

SAOTA renovated a cluster of buildings on a former farm by studying its history and stripping away earlier refurbishments done in the 70’s. The farm consists of a main building, two barns and a former wine store. Adam Letch The buildings were constructed in the usual techniques used by Dutch settlers in the Cape. Walls of poured mud or clay that were cast layer by layer up to 700 millimeters (28 inch). In the main building the original yellowwood beams were restored. The timber floors were rotten and were replaced with poplar planks. Screed floors in the kitchen and dining area were refinished using stone pavers out of the field. Adam Letch Wherever new modern materials were introduced they were carefully selected to match... Mais

1900 Coffee brings life back to a historic Kyiv building

Originally constructed in 1911, this former monument of architecture and heritage by Kyiv architect Alyoshin had fallen into disrepair during the 20th century. By the early 2000s, it was being used as a janitor's office. Recognizing the lost heritage of the building, a gradual restoration commenced, culminating in today's 1900 Coffee, a brand who have made preserving the cultural heritage of Kyiv a core value of their company.  Andrei Bezuglov At the beginning of the project, PVA Architects did not know exactly the condition of the existing building walls, which were concealed by layers of drywall. After four weeks of dismantling layers of wall decor and removing rubbish, the original elements of the building began to emerge.&nbs... Mais

Harmood Street

This project is the full reconfiguration and extension of a small, semi-detached house in Kentish Town that was cramped, badly laid out and badly built. We worked closely with the client to understand their requirements. We provided them with additional space, good floor to ceiling heights throughout and the right light. We succeeded in getting permission for large side and rear extensions, with provision to lower the floor in the extension to create more height where possible, as well as open up a small rear patio. Both the extensions were designed to provide maximum light. Part of the loft space was also opened up to give height and space to the main rooms on first floor. Ply is the predominant material used as to clad the walls and st... Mais

Chã House

A casa chã era um desses edifícios modestos em pedra irregular, que outrora povoavam toda a zona rural de Oliveira de Azeméis. Construído anonimamente e com poucos recursos numa zona de vinha e lavoura, não havia nada de particularmente interessante no edifício, porém ao cliente parecera-lhe uma pena deixá-lo ‘cair em ruína’.   Assim partimos sem programa, divididos entre o desafio de conservar e a vontade de revolucionar própria da idade, imaginámos um pequeno pavilhão de campo. Transpusemos a nossa divisão ideológica em projeto decidindo conservar o máximo do invólucro existente no exterior - a sua relação com a paisagem, as suas aberturas irregulares, o seu ar ingénuo – enquanto no interior nos...

A proposta incidiu então em três focos principais: a alteração e harmonia das cores existentes no espaço, a reor... Mais

TORRE 30. MADRID

‘Tower 30’ intends to go beyond a mere lifespan extension of the building aiming to turn it into a modern, dynamic landmark. Baumit’s ETICS system plays a fundamental role in combination with a rigorous study of its finishing’s colours and the opacity of the complementary microperforated metal skin.The original building stood out as austere, grey, hard concrete. Located on a strategic spot and visible for thousands of daily drivers from the M-30 road, the new Ilunion headquarters required a comprehensive refurbishment ensuring its importance to be strongly reflected. The new façade provides a modern and dynamic solution by combining a first light insulating ETICS system by Baumit, which mechanically adheres to... Mais

Rose Chalet

In this modern era, there is a constant drive to obtain or create the most unique products possible. However, with constant improvements in technology and lifestyle, we are left with products with an expiration date. It is the same with spaces, which also require some form of change and evolution over the years. Sometimes it may only require a bit of refurbishment, while others may require more drastic changes or even moving to a different location. While there is no dearth of attractive properties, they’re often not reflective of their homeowners and their social and functional requirements. Within this milieu, Residence 304, a home designed by Envisage, stands out as a space that is crafted for comfort in order to reflect the hospit... Mais

Mirella

Here comes Mirella. Mirella is a house in the heart of Ravenna. It arises from the refurbishment of a typical dwelling of the old borgo San Biagio, a simple neighborhood, where you can still meet people chitchatting during summer evenings, sitting on the entrance steps of the house.   Mirella is a little introvert, though. It is constantly in the search of its inner garden.Mirella is soft, because the light is always filtered by the sequence of its interiors.Mirella is mysterious, but opens up into breaches through which you can see the sky.   The photos tell about its intimacy, revealed by the delicate gaze of Simone Bossi.   Mirella is the result of the renovation of a single-family building in the historic center of...

KHAR GYMKHANA

The scope of the project was the refurbishment of the pool area and its adjoining facilities at the Khar Gymkhana in Mumbai. Though an opening up of the adjoining café and extending areas of the cafe into the pool area, the proposal recalibrates the working of the space, integrating the entire space into one larger whole. The aesthetic of the proposal takes both geometric and colour inspiration from the Memphis Design Movement, where individual elements are characterised by colourful decorations, featuring asymmetrical shapes and geometries and accompanied by a multitude of seemingly jarring patterns at different scales. The impact of the movement finds focus in both the flooring, as well as certain spatial aspects within the caf&ea... Mais
