The future’s bright, the future’s Orange Architects

0

The UK’s JSA and Netherlands based Orange Architects have merged to create a multidisciplinary and internationally operating office for architecture, urban design, interior design and outdoor space

JSA’s Jeroen Schipper and Orange Architect’s Patrick Meijers have collaborated on projects at Orange Architects for the past decade, with JSA  (jeroen schipper architecten) adding 25 years of knowledge, skill and experience, and Orange Architects located in Rotterdam, traditionally a city of national and international trade.

The core values of both organisations complement each other and the Rotterdam office unites conceptual design skill with a knowledge and passion for ‘making’, which is powerfully expressed in the new Orange Architects vision, ‘concept and craft’. It is a vision in which the clear cut concepts at the heart of the office’s designs echo in the smallest details.

According to Orange Architects, this way of working calls not only for an out-of-the-box mentality, but also for a sound knowledge of the profession. Imbuing concepts with life requires expertise in a range of fields, and the vision to integrate this knowledge into design in a natural way.

Pavel Míček Architect’s paradoxical cottage

0

The southern part of the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy Mountain landscape is an extraordinary place, with almost no other buildings nearby with the exception of just a few scattered homesteads. From the upper part the plot borders on the road and is formed by a wild mountain meadow sloping down to a wooded shadowy gully with a flowing brook.

The design was centred in the primordial mountain atmosphere; the process was none too easy, being significantly influenced by the Beskydy Protected Landscape Area Administration and its rigid building regulations, which complicated the creative or innovative approach.

First ideas were not related to space and volume, they prioritised material selection, which could express the context and serve as a pivotal conceptual guideline; concrete and larch wood.

Blending heaviness and lightness, the concrete embodies the heavy hollow platform, partially burrowed into the earth surface, with an almost cave atmosphere. It hides larch bedroom cabins and service house spaces.

Two light larch boards, which hold the free-flowing space with open views into mountain scenery, were supported against each other on a piece of mountain rock.

The undisrupted surrounding landscape around the house continues to flow almost unnoticed. The concrete is expected to turn grey and then become overgrown with moss, the larch wood shall gain a greyish-silver patina, and the access path from sandstone stones should barely be seen in the meadow grass.

Jessica Khouzami Interior Architect Our goal is to create unique spaces

Interior design is the art and science of enhancing the interior of a building to achieve a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing environment for the people using the space. As an interior Architect, I design, plan, research, coordinates, and manage projects. Interior design includes conceptual development, space planning, site inspections, programming, research, communicating with the stakeholders of a project, construction management, and execution of the design.

Design reflects a person’s personality, lifestyle and experiences. Every project I have designed is unique and has a story to tell. With our knowledge and professionalism, my team and I tailor quality designs that fit our clients’ needs, style and taste.

My style has been described as “Modern”. I create warm, welcoming spaces.

Our goal is to create unique spaces while staying within the budget. From the smallest to my largest projects, my energy and dedication remain unwaived.

The relationship between a client and designer is very important to me. I ensure that the clients I work with feel safe and comfortable in order to create something magical that makes them both happy and satisfied.

Clean lines, reductive, uncluttered, monochromatic, simplicity, «less is more»- these are some of the terms and concepts that immediately come to mind when I think about my interiors.

I think minimalism and functionality go hand in hand. A minimalist-designed space incorporates an open floor plan, lots of light, and simple line furnishings that are well-built and comfortable. All these create a soothing and inviting space that has a timeless aesthetic.

The design needs to be clear and simple, but not boring. This is where the use of light, form and beautiful materials is so essential.

  • Al Thuriah Group entered into a joint venture agreement with Bank of Sharjah for the purpose of creating Muweileh Community and started executing the project on August 2019.
  • Muweileh is considered one of the significant Iron Age sites in the UAE.
  • Muweileh is one of the sites nominated to the World Heritage List.
  • Urban areas are well planned and structured to offer more residential space for the growing population in cities.
  • Muweileh Community resides right next to Sharjah’s beautiful University city and in the heart of “New Sharjah”, surrounded by different campuses, filled with a sense of community.

A large part of the student community and faculty lives within the area of university city, benefiting from the proximity to important landmarks including Sharjah International Airport and key road links to Dubai.

The project is surrounded by a variety of dining, leisure, entertainment and shopping options, anything the tenants desire is around the corner from their new home.

“Urban living provides better standards of living”.

This is where beautiful stories begin and memories are made, filled with friendly gatherings and quality time. Muweileh community is the type of community that offers a lifestyle that integrates a modern living provides a wide range of restaurants, and cafes.

It is comprised of 8 whole buildings with two types; A and B consisting of residential units with unique interior spaces along with a community center.

The community is built to provide the best living environment, with safety and transparency, it allows the guest to fit right in.

It?s just as unique as its exterior. It takes guests back in time where sophistication and elemental simplicity were the golden standard! From the kitchen, to the dining area, to the living room, to all bedrooms and bathrooms, the style, the design and function are very consistent and harmonious.

The Community Center’s objective is to host a multipurpose space that residents can use to enjoy social, cultural, and recreational activities. (Central leasing office, 24hrs Facilities Management office, Auditorium, Social facility spaces that could be used to arrange private tutoring, group projects or meetings. Landscaped area, Swimming pool, Shaded seating areas, Separate men and ladies gyms) The buildings are cladded with modern porcelain concrete finish tiles, jotun paint at some parts and clear glass.

The interior of the buildings reflects the exterior. The main entrance lobbies and the community entrances are designed to give tenants a sense of simplicity in every element, including furniture.

The finished interiors offer a captivating visual feast a Modern urban style design with a touch of an industrial feeling. The colors used throughout the project are mostly neutral concrete finish, oak wooden strips and greige floorings with a vibrant yellow pop color on the walls arranged to perfectly complement one another.

Simulates great artistic touches by Interior Architect Mohamed Hasan

0

In the world of interior engineering and velvety decoration, few creators in the world are distinguished and leave an imprint that cannot be erased by time.

From Al Manzel Al Arabi Company in front of connoisseurs for engineering art in the distinguished magazine of the world of decoration, Interior design Engineer Mohamed Hassan is known for his great passion in presenting bold and varied ideas, classic and modern, especially through his designs for luscious and beautiful forms of artistic accessories that complement the interior decoration, where he managed to implement these distinctive pieces to a high degree of accuracy until these touches turned into masterpieces distributed throughout his projects all of them are from the main entrance of a modern home to the bedroom. In fact, large engineering projectsusually need an innovative interior designer.

Usually, the large areas impose themselves on this engineer, and puts him in a big test that does not spare many of his conspicuous engineers and traps the rest of them.

The dining room is the meeting place of the family and a place designated to receive guests in invitations and events, and it is one of the rooms that the homeowners are most interested in, and for this dining room various colors have been used, ranging from light beige and off white, which is a very quiet and elegant mix in the dining room.

Perhaps it is too early to imagine with all this distinguished creativity, where the full picture lies in the touches of the interior decorator Mohamed Hassan and Al Manzel Al Arabi Company in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, as it bypassed the emirate to implement many projects in all the country and abroad as well.

In his new project, Engineer Mohamed Hassan mimics the artistic touches and draws a new line for interior engineering.

The private area in your home made to escape the pressures of the outside world is the bedroom, which is a place to rest and relieve stress.

Here is the interior design of a modern master bedroom not only luxurious, but also very comfortable.

International competition launched by Network Rail and RIBA Competitions

0

The RIBA has launched a major contest to rethink the future of small to medium-sized stations across the Network Rail estate [Deadline: 15 September 2020]

The three-stage competition invites architects, engineers and designers to draw up a range of solutions to ensure local stations – which vary in quality across Great Britain – better serve the needs of both passengers and their local communities while also supporting net zero sustainability targets and delivering outstanding value.

The contest follows the publication of a Think Station report compiled by the Design Council through a series of industry workshops outlining a fresh approach to the design, development and procurement of local stations. Network Rail manages around 2,000 small to medium-sized local stations across England, Wales and Scotland – representing 80 per cent of its overall portfolio.

” Our ambition is to raise the quality of design across the whole rail network as well as responding to the evolving role of infrastructure within communities. ”

A. Dewar, Head of Buildings & Architecture, Network Rail

 

” This competition will help build the railway of tomorrow, ensuring we continue to modernise and improve our railway, making it welcoming and accessible for all passengers. ”

C. Heaton-Harris, Rail Minister

 

There are more than 2,000 small to medium-sized stations across Britain, varying greatly in their design quality and amenities. By improving the overall quality of stations, they can better serve their communities, whilst accommodating potential enhancements to the existing and future passenger experience through good design.

Designs should be considered for the adaptation of existing stations to better meet passenger requirements, or newly built stations to accommodate the projected increase in demand for rail travel.

The competition is open internationally to individuals and teams from both small and large organisations from the design, built environment and manufacturing industries.

On the judging panel will be:

Lucy Musgrave OBE, (Founding Director of Publica)

Jonathan McDowell (Director, Matter Architecture)

Chris Wise (Senior Director, Expedition Engineering)

Dinah Casson CBE (RDI designer)

Victoria Lee (Lead Programme Manager, Design Council)

Paul Beaty-Pownall (Managing Director, BPR Architects Ltd)

Sahar Fikouhi (Founder, ARki)

Anthony Dewar (professional head of buildings and architecture, Network Rail),

Frank Anatole (Principal Architect, Network Rail)

Ian Grimes (Principal Engineer, Network Rail)

The closing date for design proposals submissions is 2pm (BST) on 15 September 2020.
