Greenhouse

- This house is located in a province in the north central region of Vietnam, where the climate is very hot and humid and there are 2 distinct seasons, hot and cold. Therefore, the requirement before making the design plan is to create a building with high ventilation, shielding the affected areas from storms. Nguyen Cuong - In addition, with the preference of family members to gather, the design creates a surrounding space to alternate common areas for living, working or reading, combining a central cluster of where all the functions in the house are connected. This area also holds a very important function of solving the core area temperature and light problem. It combines with the ventilation brick array behind the house to create... More

e-FRAME is based on the very simple idea of an innovative structural node and rods that can be combined together at will to create buildings of varied complexity. The system is assembled with dry construction techniques, thus making it suitable for very quick and effective setup of buildings under different climatic conditions and at different latitudes. We have built an immersive experience to let users explore a simple prefabricated housing unit typology in 1:1 scale. The immersive experience has both a VR and an AR component. The VR experience is accessed via a standalone application for Oculus Rift S and allows users to virtually explore the building as a virtual environment More

The planning scheme of the area is a block structure with low-rise development (3-5 floors). All types of buildings are united by pedestrian boulevard. It links small square with cafes and shops, kindergarten and elementary school. There is a clear division of zones into private and public inside the blocks. Cozy courtyards without cars, front gardens, balconies, terraces and playgrounds are private. Public zone includes streets, framed by low-rise buildings, and a pedestrian boulevard. There are houses of four different types — from economy to business class. The  facades have common concept and materials, but each type has its own distinctive features. Therefore the area has a complete character without monotony. Diverse relief... More

Shaped by the hands of humans, the deformations experienced in the natural environment are transforming today's living conditions.  Therefore it has become a necessity to develop new strategies and techniques related to life sustaining activities (such as nutrition and shelter) that can adapt to these transformations. Undoubtedly, the negative and positive effects of such technological developments on a necessity that appears on a global scale are quite high. At this point, perhaps it would not be wrong to compare these technological developments to a negative and positive-faced medallion. Although it is clear that the rapid technological developments experienced after the 2000s has had a negative effect on the natural environment, it... More

Conceived as a precious crystal, semi-submerged in splendid isolation, reached by boat across the lake followed by a short walk from the shore, the greenhouse blends into the hillside. Visitors access the building through a prolonged cut, literally scooped up from the ground, emerging into a light-filled reception space. From here the visitor passes along a tessellated mesh of paths to three different climatic zones with corresponding plant environments.The greenhouse has a horseshoe plan, creating a loop that changes radically in section to accommodate a series of unique planting and spatial conditions. With the interior and exterior ground planes gradually shifting in relation to each other, the visitor experiences a sequence of visual en... More

The Greenhouse is an environmentally responsible family home built on acreage outside Brisbane. A collaboration between architect, builder and friends, this home represents a wonderful balance of lifestyle aspiration, sustainability agenda and rewarding process. Our first collaboration with Healthy Abode Living, this home looks to explore simple, crafted and poetic architectural agenda and interior fit-out. More

Our company Biodomes designs and manufactures custom metal and glass geodesic domes. Our goal is to create structures whose function is as important as their form. Geodesic domes are extremely strong for their weight due to their omnitriangulated surface that provides an inherently stable structure, with a natural resistance to external factors like earthquakes up to 8.5 on the Richter scale , winds up to 320 km/h due to the aerodynamic shape and loads up to 20 tonnes per point of structure. They mirror the suns path thus maximizing solar gain all day, all year and they also distribute perfectly heat and sounds.The spherical design results in highly efficient and effective air circulation in both summer and winter. Less surface area makes t... More

An old gas station on the boundaries of the city to distribute fuel after a long journey or for who had to leave for somewhere. A skinny architecture, transformed into a macro advertising signs. Still performing its function as a distributor, no more fuel, but of poetry and emotions. The renovated building is located in the city of Reggio Emilia, on the main traffic street of the city, in a residential area. This area has the connotation of commercial axis, over time has become an urban fabric for the relationship between citizens. Like all buildings in this climate zone has to respond to the need for good quality waterproofing, thermal insulation and solar shading. The planning included an expansion and a change of use. Th...
