Zaha Hadid Architects wins Riga Ropax Terminal competition
Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) has won the Riga Ropax Terminal architectural competition for a new passenger and ro-ro cargo terminal. Collaborating with leading Latvian practices Sarma Norde Architects and Alps Landscape Architects, as well as Sweco Finland, ZHA’s experience delivering key transport infrastructure around the world has been complemented by the team’s extensive local understanding of the site’s social, economic and cultural importance.Repurposing an existing shipping warehouse built in 1960 into a new 20,000 sq. m ferry and cruise ship terminal, ZHA’s design adds a fourth level to the structure to incorporate public terraces with panoramic views of the Daugava River and the skyline of Riga’s city centre, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.Defined by the orthogonal geometries of the existing building, the new terminal marries the 64-year-old reinforced concrete structure with timber from certified sustainable local forests. Engineered to optimize passenger circulat ...查看全文 -
House Possidónio da Silva 37 | 2022 | Fragmentos
Originally composed of three floors and a yard, this building in Campo de Ourique was in an advanced state of degradation. The ground floor, which served as a commercial establishment, was reconverted into a common area and passageway for two completely independent single-family housing units.
On the main façade, the intervention sought to preserve the integrity of the existing architectural features, including the recovery of the iron arched doorways and original ceramic tiles. In the center, the two doors separated by an opening reveal a garage door, allowing the insertion of a functional element without impacting the historical configuration of the façade. Inside, the house develops over two floors. The social areas are located on the lower level with adjacent living and dining areas, the latter of which is separated from the kitchen by large glass doors which promote communication without sacrificing the ability to create distinct settings. The upper level is reserved for the mor ...查看全文 -
Fusco House
Fusco House is an apartment of 175 sq m indoor and 59 sq m outdoor on the fourth and fifth floor of an elegant residential complex in the northwest quadrant of Rome.
On the fourth floor are the main rooms overlooking the surrounding greenery: entrance hall, double living room, separable kitchen with full-height sliding glass doors, service area with laundry and guest bathroom, sleeping area consisting of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
The fifth floor, where there is a study and a bathroom, is accessed by climbing a staircase with steps partly covered in stone, partly in wood. Characteristic is the green-colored joinery of the under staircase, in continuity with that of the hallway, which contrasts the dark gray color of the lowering that leads from the entrance to the sleeping area.
Geometric lines, contrasting colors, and selected materials such as sandblasted parquet flooring in a cool gray tone and striped crema d'Orcia in the master bathroom make the space contemporary and minimal.

Parioli House
Parioli House is an apartment of about 150 square meters, the restyling and interior design intervention affected only some areas of the house, the entire living area, the kitchen, the master bedroom and one of the three bathrooms.
It was decided to keep the original spaces, expanding the opening already present between the living room and the dining area, the furniture was carefully selected in line with the custom-made intreventions made both on some of the furniture and on the wall decorations that affected the whole house.
The end result is very elegant, appearing contemporary while referring to some traditional elements such as plaster frames on the walls, antiqued mirrors, and small-plank parquet flooring with frames on the floor.

Bourg La Reine
[FR]
Dans un contexte urbain complexe, le bâtiment joue un rôle fédérateur pour la réorganisation future du pôle gare. Il associe une présence forte, mystérieuse et singulière sur la place avec un langage mesuré, solide et pérenne sur le Boulevard du Maréchal Joffre. Le pignon est traité comme une façade.
Association encore, entre des logements familiaux et étudiants sur un même site. Considérant que les meilleures cohabitations sont choisies plutôt que subies, nous avons cherché à rapprocher sans les mélanger ni les opposer, ces générations et ces modes de vie.
Le projet est un hommage au temps, inscrit dans son époque mais en écho avec la ville héritée :
– sur la place, une maille cuivrée abrite de larges balcons privatifs orientés au sud et contribue à l’identité singulière du lieu
– sur le boulevard, la pierre massive protège les logements et la résidence étudiante du tumulte de la circulation.

De Utrecht
The Utrecht in Leeuwarden
The initiators of this project have a clear mission. In 2017, the national monument accidentally crossed the path of an enterprising Leeuwarden couple. From a personal interest in cultural history, art and architecture, the ambitious plan arose to take on the challenge of giving the monument a big push in the right direction.
By preserving and cherishing it and taking it to the next level with high-quality contemporary additions. Another century ahead! The goal was to open Utrecht to the public. An idealistic project, born from the desire to cherish and share this unique history. De Utrecht is located in the historic city centre of Leeuwarden, De Utrecht is 'in itself' a fairly closed and uninviting building.
It is not large and is both literally and figuratively overshadowed by the adjacent warehouse. By opening the doors and making the courtyard accessible, a piece of Leeuwarden has been brought back to life.

Graoni Beach House
Perched on the Malibu coastline, added elevation on the first level of this beach house accounts for predicted rising sea levels, elongating the existing structure. The design emphasizes the present views of the site allowing each space to take advantage of the unique qualities of the oceanfront home while natural light courses throughout each level. Sitting over 16ft above sea level, tiered terraces frame two stacked volumes with vertical exterior fins to create structural depth. Raised windows and ceilings expand the space and frame the beach views, while a combined kitchen, dining and family room create an open floor plan. The entryway focuses on a warm, inviting space that opens up into the larger main floor’s vast views of the ocean and carries natural light through the second floor to create an airier, alluring home that extends well beyond the beach below.

Carla Ridge
Overlooking Beverly Hills, this single-story residence offers unique views of the hillside, valley and expanding city beyond. The home seamlessly blends interior and exterior spaces by intertwining several courtyards to offer moments of environmental reprieve. Overlapping horizontal rooflines with extended overhangs expand spatial volumes while a higher roof 'propped up' with clerestory windows allow more natural light at the core of the building. A layered and textured material palette is combined with clean, modern lines throughout the home to create subtle warmth and movement throughout the expansive spaces. Rear views are maximized by several outdoor living spaces and a curved pool while an island of planting creates privacy between the master suite deck and the rest of the rear yard.

N Apartment
Nestled in the heart of Tel Aviv, the N apartment, a 67-square-meter space, embodies a blend of history and contemporary design. This home, situated on the second floor of an aging building, underwent a transformation that redefined its structure and the life of its owner, a Tel Avivian consultant in her thirties. With a vision crafted by the talented interior designer Maya Sheinberger, the apartment tells a story of meticulous redesign and modern sophistication.
The project began with the client's dream: converting a single-bedroom apartment with an integrated kitchen and living room, including an enclosed balcony, into a 2.5-room space featuring a half-room dedicated to a work and wardrobe area. The challenge was to reopen the enclosed balcony, adding breadth and light to the space.
In the design phase, natural materials were chosen to highlight and harmonize with the original architectural elements. The spaces feature natural stone and marble surfaces, complemented by exposed concret ...查看全文 -
Season Mansion Model Room
Home is healing, fun, and enjoyable. Everyone's unique understanding of life converges into individual, special, and heartfelt living spaces.
In the recent design of three model rooms in Season Mansion, Changzhou, WJ STUDIO embarked on a journey to present multiple possibilities of ideal space, tailored to the diverse personal needs of residents.
01 Breathing New Life
We draw the energy of life from nature and gain insights into life from our homes. When sunshine and plants become the gentle presentation of the home, it feels like stepping into a shady oasis, inviting everyone to explore the inner beauty instinctively.
The combination of soft primrose yellow and relaxed basil green forms the main color palette of the space, evoking the joy and sense of belonging in the home. The pure natural materials are cleverly integrated with modern furniture, revealing the warmth of life amidst simplicity. Bathed in natural light, the comfort and poetry of daily life slowly unfold.

Casa Cirilo
Located in the heart of Valencia, Casa Cirilo opens its doors as a comprehensive reform project whose main objective was to provide modernity and functionality to the whole house.
Its 120 sqm of surface are screened with a wooden floor in the form of herringbone. Wood once again stands out as the material that welcomes, integrates and harmonizes the different rooms of the house.
In the purest style of the houses of the Valencian Ensanche, Casa Cirilo was based on being a dark house, with a long corridor and compartmentalized in small and impractical rooms for today's uses.
The clients had the fundamental premise of giving the house as much light as possible, as well as gaining functionality and practicality.
This has been achieved by integrating the kitchen with the living/dining room of the house, but maintaining the separation of the rooms with a sliding glass door. Thanks to this element we gain entry of light and generate greater feeling of spaciousness to the whole day area.

9720 Wilshire
The project, completed by Montalba Architects in 2022 is a significant historical renovation of the original 1962 Edward Durrell Stone Building and a transformation of the basement level through addition of a new light filled garden atrium and sculpture that defines the plaza along Wilshire Boulevard in downtown Beverly Hills.
Originally recognized as one of the most significant West Coast buildings by prominent master architect Edward Durell Stone, the New Formalist structure was completed in 1962. Over the years, the historical building and its public plaza have remained an iconic location on Wilshire, yet much of the structure remained untouched from its last renovation a few decades ago.
Montalba Architects was tasked by the Client to restore and upgrade the building to be more in line with its original status and prominence while creating a place that promotes community for the users of the building. Through placemaking, a once outdated plaza and underutilized space now promote eng ...查看全文 -
Monospinal
A Place That Keeps On Supporting Creativity
The project is a relocation of the headquarter of a game production company based in Tokyo. It is aimed to become a place for the highest level of creation that captivates fans worldwide and for supporting the foundation of the game production process. As almost all employees engage exclusively in creative operation, we focused mainly on providing a balance between concentration and relaxation while significantly removing the burden of operational work. We strived to achieve them by introducing slanted walls that characterize the exterior and a system to control all facilities, including security, with tablets.
We placed the areas mainly used by visitors on the lower floors, while the level of privacy and confidentiality increase as the levels get higher. On the second and third floors that face the elevated railroad tracks, we placed programs that require isolation from the outside such as the theater and the studios. The slanted walls are hi ...查看全文 -
Contraste
Entrando da un piccolo cancello in ferro su strada in Via Meda 2, si inizia un percorso catartico: superato il cortile, ci si lascia alle spalle la città caotica per ritrovarsi al piano rialzato di un edificio primi 800, uno scrigno con sale raccolte per riservare la massima attenzione al servizio e alla cura degli ospiti. L’ingresso è una scatola rivestita di brillante lamina color champagne “zone d’accueil” e stargate metallico di passaggio, dove ci accoglie l’evocativa scultura a parete “il segreto” prima di accedere al grande salone ristorante. Il progetto del nuovo ristorante stellato Contraste, la cui audace ristrutturazione è stata affidata a Debonademeo Studio, rievoca le antiche stanze comunicanti, ognuna caratterizzata da una nuance dominante. Un sistema di tendaggi drappeggiati in velluto a tutta altezza, in quattro colori vibranti, apre e chiude il sipario rendendo autonomo ogni ambiente a seconda delle esigenze. L’escamotage delle quinte teatrali ha consentito a ...查看全文 -
Goodhope
The aim of the project was to create a cohesive space within two buildings; one a former mechanical garage (circa 1940’s), the other a nondescript 1960s commercial building stepping down the hill on Goodhope Street, around 700 square metres in total, combined. “The idea was to restore the building fabric of the old mechanic’s garage, and then to sleeve in the new offices under that existing structure, so it reads internally like a building within a building, highlighting the contrast between old and new,” explains THOSE Architects Director, Ben Mitchell. “We had to apply a different approach to natural light in this space, using skylights in the restored ceiling, and then glass ceilings and timber-framed glass walls in the new offices.” Entry to the space is via Seasaw Film Productions who have fifteen offices under the restored gabled roof. Through the courtyard to the new building there are two executive offices and open plan workspace for eighteen people is set out over two lev ...查看全文 -
Loft Milanese
Si tratta della riqualificazione di un cielo terra risalente agli anni '50 nato come porzione di un opificio e convertito nel nuovo millennio in 12 residenze. L’unità è stata sapientemente trasformata in un'elegante dimora urbana, un loft milanese che celebra l'eredità industriale del passato, mentre abbraccia il comfort e l'eleganza di materiali e arredi del presente.
Inserito tra Sempione e Scalo Farini, un quartiere protagonista di un’importante riqualificazione urbana appena annunciata, il progetto incarna perfettamente il potenziale del risultato ottenibile attraverso lo sfruttamento della nuova divisione “Family Contract” che si rivolge agli studi di architettura con una logica di “one stop shop service&procurement” grazie ai servizi di Contract District Group con il supporto e consulenza dei partner della piattaforma che insieme garantiscono un flusso di lavoro integrato a favore dell’ottimizzazione dei tempi di esecuzione (edile + luci + arredo).

Setouchi Hideaway Resort AMERI
The inn is located on the remote island of Momoshima, off the coast of Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, and rents out a single building.
Momoshima is a small, isolated island with a circumference of about 12 km, and the current population is less than 400, a figure that has been declining over time.
In the northwestern part of the island, there is a peninsula-like outcrop of land that was once a prosperous vacation spot, dotted with land and buildings that had been abandoned for many years. The plan for this one-room inn came amidst a growing movement to utilize these lands and buildings in order to revitalize this area, and by extension, the island of Momoshima.
The site is located about 30 meters from a sandy beach where the gentle waves of the Seto Inland Sea lap the shore.
In designing the building, we sought to maximize the charm of the island.
In order to maximize the view of the sea for visitors, we designed the guest rooms to have a “view room” with a raised floor level to ...查看全文 -
Joseph
Delivered in April 2024, ‘Joseph’ – Krug’s new champagne-making facility in Ambonnay – complements and enhances the Krug Family House project in Reims, delivered by AW2 in 2017. In both projects, the objective was to tell the story of a distinguished champagne house and its world, to pay homage to its history, and to guide it into the future. In Ambonnay, two new aspects of this rich heritage are explored: the fascinating process of champagne production, and Krug’s commitment to integrating harmoniously into the village of Ambonnay, showcasing its local terroir. ‘Joseph’ – named in homage to the champagne house’s founder, Joseph Krug – was designed to restructure and centralise the oenological activities within a modern, functional building that would be pleasant to work in and provide the best possible conditions for the staff. The aim was to showcase the champagne house’s work, in total harmony with its physical and human environment.
The project features two large naves h ...查看全文
