The Good House was all about creating a home for its occupants; within the relatively tight inner suburban location and restrictive building envelope. A home that not only delivers a warm, beautiful and inviting place to live in; but also a home that allows for growth and change for the family to insert the detail of their changing lives.
Any resort that lists their recreational activities as desert surfing, Camel riding, and sand skiing, is sure to perk some interest! The Desert Lotus Resort is located in the mystical Xiang Sha Wan, the “Sand Bay” of the Gobi Desert, in Inner Mongolia. Beijing-based PLaT Architects designed the concrete-less resort to work like a ship floating in deserted. The creatives at PLaT had to invent a new structural system that is fixed in the sands by panels and a prefabricated steel support skeleton. Free of tiles and bricks for construction, the resort is built with low carbon environment friendly materials to utilize solar, water and wind energy in the desert, reducing environmental pollution and strengthening ecology protection.
RemBrand developers, the Town of Schijndel and MVRDV have completed the Glass Farm, a multifunctional building in the market square of the small Dutch town. The building with a total surface area of 1600m2 contains shops, restaurants, offices and a wellness centre. The exterior is printed glass with a collage of typical local farms; a monument to the past but 1,6 times larger than life.
This concept can be seen as a contemporary response to retro-architecture whilst respecting the public’s wish for vernacular authenticity. In 1944 the small Brabant town of Schijndel which is the birthplace of Winy Maas suffered from WWII Operation Market Garden damages resulting in an oversized market square. In 1980 the then 20 year old Winy Maas urged the mayor to fill in the gap, 23 years after this first initiative the building has been completed.
Let me introduce you Fogo Island , a small island next to a big island in the northern Atlantic ocean. These artists studios are part of an inspiring project made by a Fogo Island native to help attract more people to the island.
I don't feel at all qualified but I have an opinion. Apples reminds me of a footie stadium. The new type of stadium I find so sterile as opposed to the old types. Googles lends itself to both council estates gone and estates to date. What does this mean? Googles appeals to me more simply because it feels less claustrophobic.
Built in the 60s by Studio Terado Tatsumi and renovated by Hiroyuki Shinozaki Architects, the "House H" has been redesigned to accommodate a couple with a child. Located in Chiba, a suburb of Tokyo, this volume opens pure white on the outside with a large bay window which cuts the house.
Inside, the architects have created an atmosphere of austerity limit, simple and minimal. In this space bathed in abundant light pine wood on white background seems to sanctify the atmosphere of calm and relaxation reign here. Intelligently partitioned housing defines areas by playing with different heights of beams and floors.
