富士山脚花园,日本 | Fukei 风景研究所
该场地位于日本静冈县富士宫市,原计划用作起重机工厂工人的休息场所和办公室。在晴朗的日子里,富士山的美景尽收眼底,但散落的房屋遮挡了富士山的全景。站在场地上环顾四周,可以看到场地位于城市化区域,周围是工厂、起重机、停车场、邻近的房屋及其田地和其他杂物。
The site is located in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture. The site was intended to serve as a resting place and office for the workers of a crane factory. Fuji on a clear day, but the scattered houses blocked the panoramic view of the mountain. Standing on the site and looking around, one can see that the site is located in an urbanization control area and is surrounded by factories, cranes, parking lots, neighboring houses and their fields, and other clutter.

Architect Joe Herrin's (of Heliotrope Architects) own Buoy Bay Cabin on Orcas Island, set within the San Juan Island Archipelago of Washington state
Boat trips to the San Juan Islands were the highlight of Heliotrope principal Joe Herrin’s summers as a child. Through these trips he developed a love of boating and a deep connection to the San Juans - one that eventually led he and his wife Belinda to purchase a modest beach cabin on Orcas Island, months after the birth of their first daughter. The site is part of a SE facing 36-acre waterfront parcel held in common with eight other families. It is situated immediately adjacent to a seasonal stream and wetland to the south, with an alder and fir forest behind (to the west) and a neighbor (who they found out later is a distant relative) to the north.The cabin structure is a modest late-60’s era kit A-frame, built by the previous property owner on a shoestring. Over the course of their ownership Joe and Belinda have chipped away at renovations as funds allowed–starting with the installation of a foundation, rebuilding the deck and installation of insulated replacement windows (and i ...查看全文 -

KFB Kindergarten and Nursery | 2019 | HIBINOSEKKEI
A new nursery with a capacity of 90 children is built in Kanoya City, Kagoshima Prefecture. In Kanoya City, a pyroclastic flow from an eruption more than 20,000 years ago was deposited and formed the vast plateau of Shirasu. Based on the history that the nature-rich landscape has long been taken care of over centuries and the distinguishing characteristics of the landscape, this building incorporates such quality that the plateau uniquely offers.
The most distinct feature is that the building is built on a plateau. The periphery of the building is dug around like a moat, creating a dynamic play area. The slopes from the moat induce up-and-down movements such as "climbing," "descending," and "rolling.” Such operations and movements of the body stimulate children's curiosity and encourage the spontaneous and creative invention of play with the help of climbing nets, rock climbing, a built-up hill, a zip line, a sand pit, and a sloped swamp.
Inspired by the Shirasu Plateau, the surface of ...查看全文 -

Rebirth of an Apartment in Milan: perfect harmony between versatility, style, and signature colors
Lascia la Scia: In the beating heart of Milan, a 130-square-meter apartment has been transformed into an oasis of family life, where aesthetics marries practicality thanks to custom-made furniture solutions and a color palette inspired by Nordic nature. The original apartment had a fragmented and closed space layout, without a second bedroom and with the kitchen separated from the rest of the room. The renovation was designed to create a more spacious and cozy living room, add a second bedroom and introduce a study/guest room. In the new design, walk-in closets and built-in closets were integrated to optimize space and make the environment flow more smoothly. Special attention was paid to the enhancement of natural light, placing furniture strategically to make the most of natural light in the areas most frequented during the day, and combining natural materials with different color tones to give each room a unique atmosphere.The focus of the project was the use of multifunctional block ...查看全文 -

PROJECT BY LISSONI CASAL RIBEIRO / Architecture, landscape design, interior design
The project was born from the unification of three adjoining buildings, each with different stories, courtyards and facades, into a single building, seeking to maintain the correct balance between restoration and innovation. The intervention involved the city block that includes the Weber building (1873), the former Neo-Renaissance headquarters of the United Budapest Metropolitan Savings Bank, the Mahart building (1913), the art nouveau former headquarters of the Hungarian River and Sea Shipping Company and the Munnich building (1937), a modernist edifice with art deco and Bauhaus elements. The new structure accommodates a hotel and private residences.
The architectural project reconfigures the roofs into a new piano nobile that can be used by hotel clients, residents and the general public alike. The space opens out towards t ...查看全文 -
Residência FE | 2021 | Telles Arquitetura
The first challenge would be to overcome the difficulties of the narrow and long lot geometry, where the main point of interest lies in the beautiful landscape at the back. Consequently, the family living area should be there. Thus, the house program was designed with a private wing, the bedrooms, facing east and close to the street, and the living area facing the landscape.
To connect these parts, an internal circulation strip links the front and back of the land - street and view - along a kind of suspended courtyard, allowing landscaping to integrate with the house's interior and be part of the transition between these spaces.
Between the desire for a single-level house and the maintenance of the land's natural slope, construction was chosen that is implanted in the lot, sometimes directly on its natural topography, sometimes elevated from the ground. This way, large earthmoving movements are avoided, reducing construction costs and creating a shaded area under the raised slab.

lil’ rascals
At the entrance of the village Oberbozen, several townhouses situated on a hillside, with private gardens and a view of the Dolomites, were built as part of a new housing development project.
Our clients, a family of four, occupy one half of a southward looking duplex, which spreads across four floors: a subterraneous basement, a semi-subterraneous first floor with garden, a second floor with at-ground-level access to the street facing north, and an attic loft space.
The given floor plan appeared too rigid to our clients and didn’t meet their personal vision. Thus, detaching from the perpendicular would suspend the initial rigor and loosen everything up. The lady of the house also envisioned a special element in the form of an opening or window on the first floor.
Apart from reorganizing the floor plans, the interior site development of the space had to be revisited. The partially subterraneous first floor, as well as the second floor, both have external front doors on the northside of ...查看全文 -
Ski Ranch
Bordering the Gila River in central Arizona sits a waterski community created just before the Great Recession. Other than a few uninhabited boat houses, the recession caused the community to sit vacant for over 15 years after until a pioneering couple decided to build the first house in the development. The couple wanted a creative architect that understands desert and lake house environments so they called upon The Ranch Mine, an architecture firm that specializes in both desert and waterfront homes, to help create their lake house. The resulting home is an off the grid capable, Bauhaus inspired, desert adapted, modern yet approachable lake house made for indoor/outdoor living.
The Ranch Mine started the design with a simple yet powerful move of creating an unbroken walkway leading directly from the street, through the front courtyard, into and through the house, and down to the boat house. The walkway is board stamped concrete, a desert adaptation of the classic beachfront boardwalk, ...查看全文 -
The Future To Be
The space blends abstract architectural elements, utilizing corridors, independent spaces, and interwoven semi-open blocks to illustrate the evolution of digital civilization. Among these, corridors serve as the central framework, acting as "time-space tunnels" delineated by epochs and connecting the five chapters. As each chapter unfolds, visitors' interaction with information within the corridors evolves. Initially, significant Lenovo Events are presented conventionally on display platforms, then transition to walls, acrylic boxes, metal grids, and ethereal mesh fabric. Visitors' perspectives shift from an initial top view to eye level, then to multidimensional observations and upward views. Through subtle changes in material textures, KiKi ARCHi skillfully conveys the gradual dissolution of information framework boundaries, with the media carrying information becoming increasingly ethereal.
Simultaneously, diverse independent spaces enrich each chapter of the exhibition, showcasing a ...查看全文 -
Kauhikoa Core House
The house was conceived of by SAW as a “prefabrication hybrid”: a concept that starts with a standardized central core for a home’s most technically complex and traditionally expensive functions, such as bathrooms and mechanical equipment, and allowing for different methodologies of prefabrication or conventional framing to be built around it, freeing up the rest of the structure to respond simply and directly to its context. While Kauhikoa Core House was ultimately stick-built due to pandemic-related interruptions to the pre-fabrication process, the home is a successful prototype for the organizational principle of the “Core House” and the ease and efficiency it provides.
The 812-square-foot home was built for a couple who splits time between Indonesia and Maui. It contains two bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room and kitchen, an additional 236 sq feet of lofted work and storage space as well as an additional 1000 square feet of covered outdoor space, including a large lanai that ...查看全文 -
Miracle
From June 8, 2024, Emilio Ferro presents MIRACLE, a site-specific installation conceived for the Chapel of San Rocco, located along the road that leads from the top of the hill to the famous Sanctuary of Vicoforte, as part of the project “Landandart - andar per arte” created by the cultural association VIA.
The artist, who has always been attracted to themes that interweave the profound implications between human beings and nature, man-made and natural landscapes, light and shadow, sound and silence, on this occasion creates a work that projects the materiality of nature toward mystical transcendence. Ferro starts from the landscape to imagine new trajectories that traverse the architecture of the ancient building and suggest unexplored paths.
The first element of the installation consists of a metal structure of suspended light, with a pointed shape, with a total development of more than 18 meters, which crosses the chapel's interior space projecting outwards and pointing the way to ...查看全文
