Renovation of a 1930′s villa
Situated on top of a hill in the city of Lausanne (Switzerland), this three stories private villa built in the 1930’s benefits from magnificent views of the terraced vineyards of the UNESCO region Lavaux. The architectural intervention was followed by the reconfiguration of the space in order to create three autonomous apartments – one for the owners and two others intended for rent to students or small families. In the lower level apartment, most of the partition walls were demolished to offer more generous living areas with better light conditions. Therefore, spaces are defined by playing with varying levels. Moreover, this 2-room apartment profits from access to the large garden. On the attic, before the transformation, an unusual layout...

Hoofddorp House
In renovating this freestanding house in Hoofddorp, Serge Schoemaker Architects gave it a radical metamorphosis, creating a spacious interior full of character, with charming sightlines and plenty of daylight. The new floor plan has been reduced to two storage walls that reach from floor to ceiling. In 2018, Hoofddorp House received a nomination for the Dutch ‘Interior of the Year’ award.
Overlooking the water, the thatched-roof house is built in a modern cottage style. In the renovation, the interior has undergone a rigorous transformation, with the entire ground floor opened up and reorganized. The concrete structure of the house made it possible to create an almost fully open floor plan.

Excavating Lost Craft in City – Spatial Renovation of M.Y.Lab Wood Workshop in Shanghai
Preparations
The M.Y.Lab Wood Workshop is located on the first floor of a warehouse, which used to be the Dongfeng Sofa Factory in Changning District, Shanghai. Adjacent to the warehouse, it is stood a new-built 150㎡ attached room, forming a triangle lacunain-between. The task is to refurbish the 300㎡ one-storey warehouse into a two-storey commercial space, which is to be operated as a wood crafting learning centre.
First Impression
What left the most impression in the site on the first visit was, instead of the space itself, the overground separated from the old warehouse by just the warehouse’s enclosure. Trains pass through the overground rail every other minute or so, leaving loud rumblings behind echoing in the place, as a reminde... More

Thomas Haas Patisserie
The Thomas Haas Patisserie in Vancouver is the second retail location for Haas’s handmade chocolates and confections. Bricault Design was commissioned to design the original Haas factory / retail / cafe location in North Vancouver, as well as the moulds for the chocolate bars and award-winning packaging that occupy the space itself.
The second location builds upon earlier themes used in the original location, such as a signature graphic element which was derived from the molecular structure of the obromine - an essential component of the cacao bean. At the new location, the molecular motif inspires an extruded walnut ceiling system that descends into a display wall of Haas’ packaged products. The display wall seamlessly envelopes a refri... More

Park Property Management
Park Property Management manages residential rental accommodations across southern Ontario. The company recently moved its Toronto headquarters into a former storage space on the penthouse level of one of its apartment buildings. The renewed interior not only made more efficient use of the real estate, it also offered an ideal workplace, with plenty of daylight and expansive views, as well as a convenient location for Park Property's customers. Inspired by the modernist features of the 1961 building, Quadrangle Architects' Interiors Group rehabilitated the space, maintaining prime pre-existing fixtures and features - such as a folded concrete ceiling and original terrazzo flooring, and converted it into an office with a Mad Men theme, addin...

Mott 32
DESIGNER JOYCE WANG UNVEILS THE STORY BEHIND MOTT 32
The recently opened restaurant in the basement of the Standard Chartered Bank landmark in Central, Hong Kong, has been earning rave reviews, as much for its modern Cantonese food as its dramatic interiors.
Designer Joyce Wang who created the space -- fresh off the success of her much-lauded work at AMMO at the Asia Society Hong Kong Centre -- takes diners through a fantastical tale of an immigrant’s journey, complete with family heirlooms and a history uncovered in the secret lair of a bank vault.
Your work is characterized by its cinematic inspirations and unique use of materials. What’s the story behind Mott 32?
The restaurant tells the story of the basement of an important... More

Renovation of an apartment in Eixample
This early twentieth century apartment located in the left Eixample of Barcelona, had two rooms facing south-east while the living room has a north-west orientation facing the interior courtyard through a small gallery. The central area of the flat, including the kitchen and two small rooms, was very dark and had a fragmented distribution.
The project starts from the desire of the owners to renew the services and facilities (completely outdated) while trying to improve aspects of natural light in the whole flat. Due to the low budget, we proposed to maximize all the existing elements and allocate the main part of the budget to facilities, kitchen and bathroom.
In this sense, the whole operation will focus on the central area where a c... More

LAKE FOREST PARK RENOVATION
Located on a secluded, wooded site about 25 miles north of Seattle, a 1950’s Northwest Contemporary house has been completely renovated while retaining the spirit of the original house. With extensive new windows and glazed roof monitors, the renovated house appears to be a glass pavilion in the forest.
The floor plan has been re-organized to create a spacious, light-filled Master Bedroom and Master Bath, with each space surrounded by glass and views to the forest. The main living and dining spaces have been slightly enlarged, and a new roof monitor with high windows has been added to bring soft natural light to the entire space. The new enlarged kitchen has counters in quartz and cast-glass, with continuous windows extending directly to... More

Bene Flagshipstore
SOLID architecture was commissioned to design the showroom of office furniture manufacturer Bene in a newly erected building at no. 4–8 Neutorgasse in Vienna. With a floor area of 1,000 m² the showroom is located at ground floor level and forms a band that runs along the facade. Bene also uses the first floor and a part of the second floor as offices.
The intention was to offer visitors an interestingly varied tour through the world of Bene and at the same time to create a place with its own identity and an unmistakeable character.
Design of the showroom
The walls, floor and ceiling are the surfaces that determine the character of the space: for each of them a single material was used throughout. To accommodate the different spatial f... More

Pavilion in Friedhofspark Duren
Site and Commission
The town cemetery in the Eastern part of Düren has taken on the role of a public park. Before, there was nowhere for visitors to the cemetery to shelter nor for large or small funeral ceremonies to take place. The new cemetery and café pavilion is a space where people can encounter each other when things are out of the ordinary. They can grieve together, exchange memories and look for refuge, which they will find under a multifaceted ceiling landscape.
Diversity in Unity
The architecture of the pavilion unfolds out of a neutral, nondescript, square ground plan. Three closed volumes have been inserted to accommodate the service facilities of the pavilion; they structure the space and divide the ground plan into three... More
