The 17th-century ‘house of delight’ that began an architectural movement in Britain re-opens this October. This British Palladian villa design by architect Inigo Jones, is one of the UK’s most historically important buildings, a masterpiece of British architecture.
Design: LMN Architects. Initial design for an expansion and renovation to the Asian Art Museum in Seattle. As Seattle Art Museum’s original home located in the Olmsted-designed Volunteer Park, the building will get its first substantial renovation since it was completed in 1933.
Design: Rubin & Rotman Architects. This building has the mission of transmitting the traditional Cree culture it draws upon to future generations. The building’s concept turns to the classic architecture of the Cree people’s traditional longhouse, the shaptuan, and to the particular context of the village of Oujé-Bougoumou.
Design: Simon Winstanley Architects. This house is sited in a rectangular natural hillside plot accessed off the main road into Kippford on the Solway Coast. Principal views range between the south-west and north-east enjoying a spectacular landscape setting of the River Urr valley and hills beyond.
Design: The Purple Ink Studio, Architects. Taking the courtyard as a focal point, the entire architecture and the landscape concept revolved around using the feature as a climate-responsive design advantage.
Design: Ranquist Development Group. A residential building on a 40’ x 100’ inner-city lot in the upper-scale River North neighborhood. Clean lines and a palette of industrial materials follow the modernist roots of Chicago’s architectural heritage.
Interior Design: Molteni&Co. A few meters away from the beach Li Cuncheddi, on the granitic headland of Capo Ceraso in Northern Sardinia, CalaCuncheddi 4 Stars Superior Hotel reopens its doors to the public completely renewed.
Studio Persian Primavera & Keivani Architects considered two essential factors to develop the concept of this interior design: firstly, the client’s interests in the Persian civilization, culture, and values, namely the metaphors of Mithraism and sun; secondly, the artistic character of the client.
Architect: ZAO / standardarchitecture / Zhang Ke. A small-scale architecture project that enriches bonds amongst communities and revives Hutong life. The courtyard is about 300-400 years old and once housed a temple building.
Architect: Diba Tensile Architecture / Leila Araghian, Alireza Behzadi. Infrastructure connecting two parks across a highway. A 270m-long curved pedestrian bridge, a complex steel structure featuring a dynamic 3D truss with two continuous deck levels that sits on three tree shape columns.
Design: Candalepas Associates, architects. The site is one which is repeatedly affected by the persistent salt-mist of a tidal beach. The horizontality of the plan follows the natural strata and beds the project into its natural dunes.
Design: Herzog & de Meuron, Architects. The architects describe their building thus, a “proposal of a series of shifted discs, pure geometric circles, is developed from the parameters of the site and plot boundaries. The shifting in floors creates overhangs and covered volumes and reflects the principles of the masterplan massing.”
Design: FaulknerBrowns Architects. This elegant and efficient sports centre building maximises available space on a tightly constrained site. The design solution links two simple geometric volumes – sports hall and pool block – with a spine of accommodation and circulation.
Design: Swatt | Miers Architects – The Sinbad Creek House project started when the owners—a couple, newly retired from the biotech field and avid horseback riders—decided they wanted to be able to spend more time enjoying the outdoors.
Nathalie Weadick, architectural curator & director of the Irish Architecture Foundation to be conferred with an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Institute of British Architects in recognition of “the enormous contribution (she has) made to architecture.”
Design: Vakis Hadjikyriacou Architects. The design and concept of this house was inspired by the surrounding landscape and topography of the dense forest area of Stavrovouni and the challenge of combining two briefs, a home and an art gallery (with an extensive varied collection).
Design: Noyan Vural Architecture: the warm climate enabled the use of open and semi-open areas and wide terraces with ample shade. The Turkish bath and spa units located in the basement are among the project’s important attraction points.
