Lixia Headquarter Business Centre A Unique Identity

0
Architects: Rocco Design

The Lixia Headquarter sits at the periphery of the Jinan CBD Masterplan development, despite its proximity to the CBD, it is separated by a main road on the west. Located in a secluded but yet exclusive part of the CBD, the design aims to establish the headquarter towers as a unique identity with a central green public space.

Drawing the natural beauty of Jinan, the design aims to create an urban space that echoes the infamous mountains and lakes of Jinan. The curvilinear podium forms are strategically shaped to enclose the public green space in the center as a place holder. Paths and streets offer pedestrian entrances into the central green space freely from all directions.

The two 188m towers locate strategically along the masterplan axis and plaza, this anchors the HQ importance in relationship to the urban planning and at the same time interrelate the identity of the HQ with the CBD.

The facade design takes the grid as the generic design element, interplay of stone, glass, sun shading device create variations and excitement but yet unified holistically by the grid pattern.

In terms of urban space, the curvilinear podium forms is an anti-thesis and offers surprises against the backdrop of the adjacent mundane CBD masterplan.

An interlink between the podium takes form of a canopy provides connectivity and cover to the underground amenities.

This classic landscape design is filled with soothing elements. Whether enjoying it from the view patio or selecting a spot on the flagstone dining patio, your senses are sure to be lulled by the serenity surrounding you. The spray mist of the trickling water feature gently cascading makes the dry creek bed feature seem overflowing with life. Step over the creek and select a reading spot under the trellis… or lounge with a beverage near raised flower beds and inhale the fragrant plantings. All of these landscape design elements blend perfectly within this exquisite outdoor environment.

Hollyrood Avenue, Backyard Garden Oasis

0

PARTRIDGE FINE LANDSCAPES

A backyard garden oasis, seamlessly connecting interior spaces with the outside. Working around one of Oakvilles largest oak trees by taking direction from nature, this design is one of our most popular projects on Houzz. The linear lines of the deck and pergola transition to free-flowing organic shapes as the built environment secedes to its natural surrounds. The result is a subtle layering of material, with each reaching out to touch the other inside carries outside with wood deck underfoot, stepping down to the interlock patio that defines the limits of the static environment, bordered by manicured lawn to mark the beginning of the living world, whose far edge of concrete curb delineates the start of a very dynamic space where carefully planned perennials yield to the unbridled majesty of raw nature. Pathways throughout the property were created using this hierarchy, alluding to the destination through the material selection alone. With the addition of a fire table and outdoor accent lighting, this backyard has become an outdoor sanctuary for any time of day or year.

ARCHITECT: NATUREHUMAINE

A couple with two young children wish to transform a duplex located in Rosemont La Petite Patrie into their principal family residence.

The project consists in reorganizing the original portion of the house and enlarging it with an extension in the yard while preserving the facade on the street as required by the city bylaws.

Suspended above the dining room, a grey angular volume sheltering the master bedroom cantilevers out over the garden terrace. For more intimacy, a pair of steel blades unfolds in front of two large panes of glass over the garden facade filtering the views from the neighbours and modulating the natural light coming into the living spaces.

Wishing to create an effect of depth on the garden fa?ade, two tones of colours are used one gray tone for the suspended volume covered in fibrocement boards and an other in copper for the windows, steel blades and the patio door in the recessed portion of the back wall.

An angular frame like structure connects both immediate neighbours as a result of their differences in the protrusions of their constructions.

Within the house, a staircase positioned directly under a generous skylight becomes the focal element of the house. Three entities compose this staircase; the first steps cladded in white marble, a wooden landing cladded in Russian plywood that continues through the family room to become a working surface and finally the circular stair painted white with perforated steel guards and steps in white birch.

Integrated elements such as concealed doors and furniture combine to tones of whites, greys and blacks contribute in creating a warm and minimalist atmosphere throughout every room in the house.

21c Museum Hotel Nashville, Former Hardware Store Into A Boutique Hotel

0

Architect:Deborah Berke

Celebrating the authentic culture and sense of place of Nashville, the newest edition of the 21c Museum Hotels transforms a former hardware store and warehouse into a 21st century boutique hotel and destination restaurant.

The design of the hotel highlights the history of the Gray & Dudley Hardware Company building while creating a contemporary experience reflecting the vibrancy of Nashville today. A new entrance on Second Avenue leads to the public areas, which have concrete floors and exposed metal beams and columns, reflecting the buildings industrial heritage. These elements are combined with rich upholstery, a sophisticated color palette, and metal accents, creating an eclectic juxtaposition of materials and furnishings. Contemporary art is incorporated throughout all the public areas, including a linear gallery that leads to the restaurant.

On the six upper floors, which contain 124 guest rooms, historic building fabric like exposed brick and timber beams are occasionally revealed, adding texture and underscoring the buildings history and materiality. Three new light wells bring natural illumination deep into the building.

Close Residence A 1960’s Home Beautifully Rejuvenated

0
Architects: NatureHumaine

This suburban home on Montreal’s south shore was built by the father of our client in the 1960’s. After over 50 years without having much work done, it was in need of some rejuvenation.

The original house lacked natural light and had a series of closed rooms surrounding a central stair. The first move was to open the south facade with large glazed patio doors. Removing the original partitions let the light penetrate deeply into the house.

A new sculptural stair built of hot rolled steel, maple veneer, and frosted glass becomes the focal point of the house. The counter of the central island in the kitchen cantilevers 2.4 meters out from the cabinets becoming the dining table, uniting preparation and eating spaces. Two pivoting glass doors close off the entry creating a winter vestibule.

The immense stone fireplace was conserved and restored. It’s textured materiality contrasts with the purity of the new elements. The exterior of the house was restored and repainted and the windows were replaced. A contemporary dormer was added to the roof of the house containing the two second floor bathrooms.
