Refurbishment

A XUL Architecture, sediada no norte de Londres, renovou esta casa de família em Highgate para permitir melhor circulação e luz.   Esta casa de família em Highgate tinha vários problemas de circulação com diferentes níveis e espaços fluindo de uma maneira desconfortavelmente desordenada. Ao abordar essas questões, a XUL foi capaz de criar um espaço utilizável e cheio de luz. A chave para a renovação desta propriedade foi abrir as vistas desde a porta da frente até o jardim, atraindo a luz de ambos os ângulos. Uma assinatura para todos os projetos XUL é considerar as três direções de luz que podem s... Mais

Inicialmente, o projecto consistia na remodelação interior de um estúdio, construído na cobertura de um prédio de habitação multifamiliar.  Quando iniciámos as demolições, constatámos que a cobertura era constituída por sucessivos aumentos de várias alturas e de má qualidade técnica, e que as paredes exteriores não ofereciam qualquer isolamento térmico.     Desta forma, passou-se a uma remodelação exterior e interior completa, com uma nova estrutura metálica para a cobertura.   Sendo um apartamento pequeno, desafogou-se o espaço, limitando a compartimentação...

This project involved the refurbishment and redecoration of a prestigious private apartment in Brisbane, Australia. Located within an iconic Harry Seidler building, the refresh sought to extend and evolve the fluid form and function embedded in the architecture with a focus on art as an integrated expression of ingenuity. The client brief was to reimagine the apartment into a luxurious and impressive residence with a light and welcoming atmosphere within a moderate budget and timeframe. Laden with generic black and red furniture on a stark palette of finishes, the initial space felt cold and abrupt. There was no cohesion between the look, feel and function of the interior, which dramatically degraded the impact of the architecture. Whilst a... Mais

The Municipality of Bressanone (in the region Trentino Alto Adige, Italy) is gradually changing its skin.    This process has taken place for many years, with important private and public projects selected through international competitions. Those operations are both on small and large scale and involve several actors and different types of partnership. The quality of these projects is the same one that characterizes different aspects of this region, among them the contemporary architecture. A slow transformation is taking place also inside the city of Bressanone; moreover, it is working in a silent way, almost discreet, without revealing itself to whom is walking in the historical city centre.   This metamorphosis has in...

Essa reforma completa, localizada no início de um empreendimento da Merchant Builder, compreendia uma nova cozinha, dois quartos, dois banheiros, roupões, estudo e planejamento geral do espaço. Todas as superfícies, exceto o fantástico teto de madeira, foram atualizadas. Aqui, nossa intenção de design foi decisiva desde o início: tente ser tão solidária com o design inicial (o que não é amor nos anos 70!), Enquanto atualiza o espaço para as necessidades atuais e futuras. Introduzimos texturas terrosas por meio de uma variedade de novos materiais; a vegetação exuberante existente ao ar livre foi adotada, de modo que aspectos que incentiva... Mais
