Displaced in Lviv, the Kharkiv School of Architecture Continues its Ukraine-Focused Educational Program

HIP Boathouse / Abbott Brown Architects
This site is located on Herman’s Island, on the South Shore of Nova Scotia along a section of remote, shoreline facing back into Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. At this remote location, along the forested west-facing beach edge of the lot they wanted to create both a functional space for boat storage and a leisurely, Zen place for connecting to the water, and the western sunsets. Planning restrictions limit ocean-side development to boathouses only. This restriction was embraced in the design, as a way of re-enforcing the elemental, maritime nature of the structure and the siting.

R65 House / I Like Design Studio
This house serves as both the designer’s residence and office, and it all started with the design question, “What kind of house do I want?” from being a designer who must investigate the homeowner’s needs, preferences, and habits in order to obtain design work that meets the customer’s needs as much as possible. I can find an answer to the question, and I like the simplicity with hidden details, unpretentiousness, and humility until I discovered the Japanese philosophy of “Wabi sabi,” which partially corresponds to the meaning we wanted to design this house with. I’m still looking for the meaning of “Wabi sabi” in interesting ways and perspectives. Whether it is to appreciate the beauty of nature as it is, to appreciate the beauty that has changed over time, to minimize the unnecessary to reveal something hidden, to use space that is not superfluous to live simply, etc.
STAGE1 KEGO Commercial Building / CASE-REAL
A new tenant building project in the center of Fukuoka. The area surrounding the planned site is a commercial district with a mix of restaurants, general merchandise stores, and parking lots. The client approached us to consider an appropriate building for a compact site of approximately 72sqm in a corner of this commercial area. The client’s wish was to have attractive tenant access to this location. After repeated discussions, we settled on a low-rise building of high quality, rather than a towering high-rise. Furthermore, in addition to creating the right impression on the exterior, providing a space where tenants can easily compose attractive plans was considered important for the quality and appeal of the building.
