Curonians Houses / Devyni Architektai

June 28, 2024 Hadir Al Koshta 0

​A small residential complex on the coast of the Baltic Sea. The concept is based on the Curonian architectural style, which inspired the design of a modern village with a small community, maintaining a respectful distance between its members. To express the uniqueness of the location, the architectural design was modeled after a fisherman’s house, featuring large sloped roofs and a rectangular building plan.

Higashi Tamagawa Apartment Complex / Tomoyuki Kurokawa Architects

June 24, 2024 Pilar Caballero 0

A 19-unit housing complex of 25m2 apartments built along the main road in Setagaya, Tokyo. In recent years, there has been a trend in many fields to revisit the idea of possession, replacing it with the rent of a good. Therefore, the subscription plans started spreading in digital and real environments. This new perception of possession radically altered our approach and attachment to the same goods we subscribe for, somehow giving a sense of a shared property with future customers.

Battersea Roof Gardens and 50 Electric Boulevard / Foster + Partners

June 17, 2024 Hadir Al Koshta 0

Battersea Roof Gardens, a mixed-use building, and 50 Electric Boulevard, an adjacent office building with 200,000 square feet of new workspace, have both been completed. Part of the third phase of the Battersea Power Station masterplan, the two buildings sit on the western side of Electric Boulevard, a split-level high street that runs from the Zone 1 Battersea Power Station Underground station to the Grade II* listed landmark. The new buildings and high street share a gently undulating form, which has been designed to maximize views of the power station. The meandering street offers a wide range of restaurants and shops, receding and expanding at the upper level to create unique vantage points and moments of pause for people as they walk along.

Melrose Housing / Taillandier Architectes Associés

June 8, 2024 Hadir Al Koshta 0

The project is part of the overall development plan for sector 1 of the “Laubis” joint development zone. This was the subject of a “Europan” competition, won by the AR357 urban planning team, and is located on a plot of land on the outskirts of Seilh, not far from the Airbus site and the MEETT, Toulouse Exhibition and Convention Centre. Sector 1 is the beginning of the joint development zone. As “knitting your neighborhood together” is the leitmotiv of urban planners, we proposed a series of strip housing units articulated around a patio during the competition. Sector 1 is divided into several lots: B8, B9, B10/B11, and B12. Lot B8 is being developed by AR357, lots B9, and B12 by the FFFBBB agency, and lot B10/B11 by the TAA agency.

Scala Housing / AQMA

June 7, 2024 Hadir Al Koshta 0

The Scala project is located on the edge of the ZAC Presqu’ile in Grenoble. The plot enjoys a very favorable setting, surrounded by mountains and future buildings. At the corner of Rue de Nantes and Winston Churchill, the plot forms a south-facing “point,” which gives it a distinctive character to be highlighted. The challenge of the project was to take advantage of this exceptional situation by relying on urban prescriptions and organizing volumetrics that can interact with the surrounding and the future buildings along the central traverse of the block.

The oblique Sunshine / Man Office

The topic of this project diverges from the usual subjects in the field of architecture. It’s true that prior to this project, we had experienced entering the design and construction process as investors in a small part of a building. However, the motivation for independent construction spurred us to utilize our capabilities via a construction participation contract.
