Tilleuls House Extension / miogui architecture

October 15, 2024 Hadir Al Koshta 0

Tilleuls project is a typical example of housing in residential areas. The plot was divided to generate profit, the house was too small, too much partitioned, not adapted anymore to the current lifestyle, and non-insulated. The project quickly heads toward a renovation of the existing building, energetically and spatially, completed by an extension.

Station Road Extensions / Delve Architects

October 14, 2024 Pilar Caballero 0

Delve Architects have completed a two-storey rear/side extension across two semi-detached cottages on the same site for £500k combined. In Godalming, Surrey two neighbours Tom & Claire and Anushka & Toby were looking to extend and improve their semi-detached homes. With Tom & Claire initially appointing an architect the couple recommended Delve Architects as Director Ed Martin was local to the town and has already navigated planning to renovate his own home, the award-winning Woodthorpe Stables. Rather than separate planning applications which would not have been successful due to right of light issues, the collaboration allowed Delve Architects to receive planning through this joint application.

Mid Terrace Dream House / Collective Works

October 2, 2024 Hadir Al Koshta 0

This project started as a humble, run-down early 1900s North London Terraced house, in need of modernization. The house was purchased by a young couple who had a long-term view from the outset. Our client understood that a bright future for them and their family would go hand in hand with a low-carbon future for the planet. They wanted a home for their future family that reflected their heritage and personality. They also wanted a place that would have low energy demands and be a light touch on the environment. Collective Works set off to complete a low-carbon deep retrofit, with natural, healthy materials. Just as they wanted to go beyond building regulations in terms of thermal performance, airtightness and operational energy use, they wanted the new kitchen dining room facing the garden to be more than a box.

Fondation Maeght Extension / Silvio d’Ascia Architecture

October 1, 2024 Pilar Caballero 0

Between November 2022 and May 2024, the Fondation Maeght conducted significant building works for the first time since its opening. Respecting the original building by Josep Lluís Sert, four new rooms will be inaugurated in June 2024 for the foundation’s 60th anniversary. These rooms embody a new era for the Fondation Maeght. Inspired by large American foundations, the visionary couple Marguerite and Aimé Maeght – printers and gallery owners for some of the most important artists of the 20th century – imagined the first foundation dedicated to modern and contemporary art in France. Inaugurated in 1964 by André Malraux, this place was designed by architect Josep Lluís Sert for and with the artists. Ahead of its time, Sert already took into account ecology (impluviums to collect rainwater, the orientation of the building) and dialogue in perfect harmony with the landscape and the works specially created by Georges Braque, Joan Miró, Pierre Tal Coat, Marc Chagall, Pol Bury, Diego Giacometti, or Raoul Ubac.

5ª Avenida Building / Mário Alves arquiteto

September 26, 2024 Pilar Caballero 0

The project is located in one of the oldest streets in the Aveiro city, where the architectural richness of the old facades is a hallmark of the city. The project is based on the demolition of a degraded building and the construction of a multifamily housing and commercial building. As such, given the context of the place, one of the premises of the project is to maintain and rehabilitate the facade of the existing building, requalifying it and thus preserving its historical and architectural value in the arrangement of Dr. Lourenço Peixinho Avenue.

Le Petit Merlot House / NatureHumaine

September 17, 2024 Hadir Al Koshta 0

Located in the heart of the Plateau Mont-Royal district, the project consists of the renovation and expansion of a duplex dating from the 1920s. Our project nicknamed ”le Petit Merlot” owes, among other things, its name to the neighborhood that hosts it, Le Petit Laurier. With its lively shopping street, this neighborhood represents the typical Montreal way of life where relationships between neighbors are built around a good meal. Petit Merlot owes its name to this spirit of conviviality but also to its red clay brick cladding which characterizes the surrounding built environment.
