At the foot of the Montgó mountain in Javea, this dwelling unfolds, approaching its implementation with respect for the location and formal precision. The project avoids iconic gestures and prioritizes a clear integration into the environment through horizontal volumes, controlled proportions, and a land occupation that preserves the landscape's readability.

Green Interiors Trends From Around The World

There is not enough that can be said about the benefits of incorporating plants in interiors or Plantscaping. Integrating vegetation indoors serves many purposes, whether practical, aesthetic, or psychological. Although there are basic requirements for incorporating greenery into Homes, well-thought-out plant selections and placements are characteristically different across the world. By going over recent interior works, a few recurrent plantscaping design patterns arose, each reflective of distinctive climates, building styles, and traditional building techniques.

House Jacaranda is located in a residential area on the outskirts of Valencia. The plot has excellent geometry and favorable topographical conditions that facilitate the implementation of the project.

Why Sit by the Dock of the Bay? Designing Thresholds to the Water

Olivia Poston — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 07:30:00 +0000

Boat docks and harbors are liminal spaces where the shore marks the meeting of land and water, and serve as a space for the convergence of culture, industry, and community. For those who work at sea, from commercial fishers to marine freight operators, the dock is a threshold between labor and rest, between oceanic uncertainty and terrestrial stability. For others, the dock serves as a gateway to recreation, sport, and adventure, accommodating everything from rowing clubs to family sailing trips. And for many who never board a vessel, the dock offers a powerful connection to the marine environment where one can pause, observe, and engage with the rhythmic tides.

Villa Bruksveien / R21 Arkitekter

Valeria Silva — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The project addresses a program for a primary residence with a swimming pool and tennis court on the Snarøya Peninsula, in a maritime setting near the city of Oslo. The site is an elongated plot, extending from the adjacent parcel, with very defined zoning regulations. First, due to local regulations, the demolished pre-existing house is taken as the reference distance from the new house to the coast. Second, because of rising sea levels and strong winds, it was decided to elevate the house above sea level.

Cabin Nøtterøy / R21 Arkitekter

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 07 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Located in the idyllic coastal area of the municipality of Nøtterøy, situated in the Oslo Fjord, the design and construction of an informal weekend cabin are proposed. The main premises of the location and direction of the project were: a narrow site between the street and the existing pier, a steep and complex terrain for construction, and a spectacular view of the sea with the Færder National Park as a backdrop.

The project consists of the design and construction of 26 townhouses for weekend use, located in Kvitfjell, a ski resort three hours from Oslo. The site is situated in a small valley at the highest point of the ski resort. This particular location influenced the project by prioritizing the upper floor to ensure better visual integration with the surrounding environment. The goal was to create cross views on both sides: on one side, the morning sun with the peak of Kvitfjell in the background, and on the other, the sunset over the ski slopes.

Apartment in Russafa / Quadrat Estudio

A flat unused for 50 years, located in a corner building in the Ruzafa neighborhood in the city of Valencia. An obsolete and excessively compartmentalized distribution that deprived the property of spatial quality and natural light. An opportunity.

Casa Carceller / Quadrat Estudio

Andreas Luco — Tue, 29 Oct 2024 03:00:00 +0000

Surrounded by adjacent building walls in a succession of narrow, low-lying plots in the old working-class neighbourhood of Foios stands a house that seeks to revive the heritage of traditional residential architecture in the surrounding area. In its height, shape and choice of materials, it blends harmoniously with the neighbouring houses without being obtrusive. The design concept of this house emphasises privacy, light and space in order to utilise the living area along its entire length and to make the most of the potential of the plot. The interior design defines the space and cleverly leads through the different rooms without touching the ceiling level. A staircase placed in a room lit from above structures the central area and connects the different levels of the house. An inner courtyard separates the building from its neighbour and floods the house with daylight.

The new high-quality housing project in Magasinparken offers innovative apartments sheltered in a new green neighborhood in Ski Vest, Norway. On the site of a former military camp, the residential building bands together with the adjacent historical landscape and built environment of buildings from the 1890s in an attractive and humble manner. Through the conscious use of qualitative and location-oriented architecture, the project reinforces and develops the inherent identity of the site.

The project involves the rehabilitation and renovation of a house located in València, in a resilient area such as the orchard. (L’Horta) The building object of this rehabilitation dates from the late nineteenth century, although there are elements that are part of the set that is declared BRL ( Bienes de Relevancia Local – assets of local relevance), which are from the thirteenth century. If there is something characteristic of this house, at least in its facades and most visible elements from the orchard is that its walls are built with exposed stone, it has a distinct character from the rest of the complex, and that has been preserved from the beginning of our project.

Industrial Nouveau: Dramatic Renovation Projects Reimagining Urban Life

Eric Baldwin — Sat, 09 Sep 2023 07:30:00 +0000

No building stands in isolation. Engaging environmental and cultural networks, architecture is an inherently grounded art. As such, limits, constraints, and restrictions drive the design process forward, engendering solutions that celebrate the world as we find it. Embodying this dynamic, renovations and adaptive reuse projects embrace challenging problems and existing conditions. This is especially true when working with industrial buildings, places where machinery, manufacturing, and power combine.

Within architecture, water evokes sentiments of calmness and wellbeing. The element has influenced design through its dynamic and fluid nature. With recent technological advances, architects have created some of the most strategic, innovative, and unexpected intersections of design and H2O.

Located in the Italian Pianura Padana, at the urban edge of a small country town facing a river, Villa Orizzonte blends in with the surrounding landscape seeking maximum integration with the environment, also thanks to its southward orientation and privileged view toward the river.

What Is a Pocket Door? Maximizing Space, Flexibility and Style

Valeria Montjoy — Thu, 22 Dec 2022 05:00:00 +0000

Once popular in Victorian architecture, pocket doors fell out of fashion in the mid-1920s and hinged doors soon became the norm. In recent years, however, a renewed interest in space-saving and design-forward solutions has brought pocket doors back into the limelight. What used to be an overlooked architectural feature is now becoming increasingly common in modern interiors, along with its creative flair and countless functions. These sleek, sliding doors can efficiently divide rooms, create seamless transitions, save space and contribute to a unique, sophisticated and stylish look. All of this while adding a slight touch of poetry to the home; sliding silently into the wall, pocket doors invite users to step through and explore what lies beyond, creating a strong sense of mystery and intrigue.
