Using a polycarbonate shell screened with Abodo Vulcan timber, this utility shed is creatively designed to double as a sculptural light feature for the future outdoor living space of a work-in-progress building project. With long term plans to regenerate the land and create their ‘forever home’ on this kanuka-lined site in Banks Peninsula, architect Mitchell and designer Amy Douglas of Fabric (formerly Coll Architecture) have made a strong start with this sculptural utility shed, which has already been awarded a 2022 New Zealand Architecture Award in the Small Architecture Project category. Dubbed ‘Nightlight’, the structure not only provides tool storage and outdoor amenities for washing up, but will also play a p... もっと見る

Humans, like plants, thrive when given the opportunity to alternate between periods of rest and periods of expansion. The design of Gusto Green, a cannabis and adaptogenic lifestyle restaurant and lounge in downtown Los Angeles, explores the interplay between darkness and light, rest and growth through an organic layering of materials, textures and colors. The harmony found in nature is carefully curated, and the result is a space that feels healthy and beneficial. Botanical shapes and shadows are at play throughout, enhancing the illusion of being outdoors. The energetic focal point of the space is a multi-wall polycarbonate structure that frames the main dining room to create the impression of a greenhouse. Natural oak table tops and terr... もっと見る

Inspired by Tokyo Streets for a Post-Pandemic Era   Hammersmith, London   Based in Hammersmith, APA have closely worked with 1REBEL on their first collaborative design project. The space is entitled ‘RIG’. Previously 1REBEL spaces have explored a ‘night club’ feel but the need for a pivot came with the pandemic. Born out of trying to create a greater sense of team and community within the work out, the design of the new studio reflects this with its open plan structure. This new breed of 1Rebel spaces is planned in neighborhood locations, so this new club is local, close to residential streets.  Caption The space and design have moved deeper backstage. More raw, more transitory, more dramatic.... もっと見る

The project consists in the refurbishment an old and industrial building to lodge new workspaces. Pablo García Esparza Before the reform, both spaces were totally divided and configurated as traditional offices. However, the aim of the project was exactly the opposite: generate open, diaphanous, luminous and connected workspaces. In such a way, the project wants to recover the original industrial condition of the space which was much more interesting and powerful. The design of the new space responds to this double spatial condition of the place: The access is in the initial space, the lower one. Also, in this space is placed a garage with independent access and stairs that lead to the upper floor, where there are an office and... もっと見る

3-dimensional structures such as airplanes are made by assembling parts made of different materials instead of one-piece molding. The whole image where lots of pretty metal objects like petals and butterflies soar, makes the city and people live as monuments that bring the future. The majority of airplanes are made of aluminum alloys such as duralumin, and resin and steel have been used in some cases. In recent years, carbon fiber and other materials have also been used for the surface. Lightweight polycarbonate and aluminum are used to create a monument that soars into the sky. The foundation part is made of heavy, inexpensive steel, which is easy to work with, and is concealed in the ground. By using carefully selected materials in the r... もっと見る
