Europan 11 Proposal: ‘Counterspace’ / CODA

By — Filed under: Housing ,mini ,Urban Design , , ,

In typography, the ‘Counter’ is the space contained by letters (this is where monkish Irish Illuminators famously had space to play). For the monks, the space between the letters was as meaningful as the letters themselves. In ‘Counterspace’, the winning proposal by CODA for the Europan 2011 competition in , the linear forms of the traditional rows are transformed and interwoven to create a range of counterspaces: from enclosed collective space for safe children’s play, to urban plaza for adults’ lattés. Just like on the 19th century street of industrial terraced , the life of the community happens in the space between the rows of housing, in the counterspace. More images and architects’ description after the break. read more »

Water Towers of Ireland

By — Filed under: Misc ,

Kilcreene

The now empty and abandoned water towers presented here are part of a selection of photographs gathered by James Young, a final year architecture student, as part of a research project. With the help of the MacCarthy Memorial Scholarship from the School of Architecture at UCD, he has compiled a list of about 200 towers, with nearly thirty visited and photographed. Like other architectural building types that have been abandoned, what can architects do with water towers such as these? If no longer in use, what can be done to take advantage of these stand along structures? Let us know what you think. More images after the break. read more »

County Cork Painter’s Studio / LOCAL

Uploaded by — Filed under: Houses ,Leisure ,Selected , , ,

A repeat client from New York approached LOCAL to turn an old stone barn on his wife’s family farm compound in into a painter’s studio and vacation cottage. Because she is a landscape painter, she wanted a view and lots of light. At the same time, they wanted to retain the rustic character of the old stone barn. LOCAL decided to keep the façade facing the other buildings on the compound virtually untouched, and instead break out the entire façade facing the best view of the hills beyond the farm. Two skylights, invisible from the street, bring in light into the rear part of the house.
