The concept of the family house situated in the Nitra city district of Lužianky is based on the idea of a symbiotic architecture with the intention to push forward the classical barriers. The client's request was a lasting, modern architecture that is eco-friendly to its surroundings. A sloping site is located at the end of a blind street near a golf course. A single-storey mass of the flat-roofed house with a separate carport naturally cuts into a slope.

The housing project – a family house for a young family of four – had to be created on a relatively small plot of land in the Old Town of Bratislava near the locality Horský park. We tried to carry out this task, which was also a challenge, sensitively in the context of the location, the surrounding development, and the existing development of the land. Originally, there were two buildings on site.

Materials that Shaped the Most Iconic Homes, Interiors and Public Buildings of 2020

Materials — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 07:30:00 +0000

It is difficult to start any retrospective text on 2020 without sounding too cliché. While facing an invisible enemy that changed everyone’s lives, this past year has taught us that humanity is more fragile than we ever imagined. At Archdaily, it’s our job to synthesize how the buildings and the world we live in will be impacted by COVID-19 not only in the short term but in the distant future as well. Has our perception of the built environment changed this year? And has our relationship with the tectonics of buildings changed with all of the obstacles we’ve faced along the way?

How To Use and Reuse Chimneys in Architecture

Eduardo Souza — Thu, 17 Dec 2020 04:00:00 +0000

Francis D. K. Ching [1] characterizes a chimney as an “incombustible vertical structure, which contains a duct through which smoke and gases from a fire or furnace are pushed outwards and through which an air current is created.” While its pipes can be hidden in walls or other structures, the chimney top usually remains prominent in order to transfer dangerous gases from the inside out without dirtying the interior or harming the health of the occupants. Being vertical elements, there are chimneys that become major landmarks in the urban landscape, especially in industrial projects. At the time of drawing, deciding on the “weight” that the chimney will have in a project is essential. At Casa Milá, for example, Gaudí crowns the building in sinuous and curvy sculptural chimneys. In other cases, the solemnity of the building aesthetic is mirrored in its chimney, whereas in others, the architects render the chimney as hidden as possible. Recently, too, many chimneys have been refurbished for new uses or to accommodate new cleaner technologies. Whether it takes a prominent role or is hidden from view, see below some chimney design tips and possibilities of use.

The extension is part of a set of buildings on the site of a former village brickyard. It is added to the existing house of a former brick master – this house was restored in the mid-nineteens. The brick kiln, which was in a ruinous state, was rebuilt into a studio 10 years ago. After WWII, when the production of bricks was closed, an orchard was set up on the site.

Daniela Cardenas — Sat, 28 May 2016 02:00:00 +0000

Štefánikova Street is known as traffic route in the city center, yet it has the potential to be a city boulevard. It has a unique character with a varied structure of buildings from different historical periods. Two original buildings from the fifties and the seventies were reconstructed. Both were previously connected and operationally functioned as one building. Characteristics of both buildings were their to date street-facades (also known as buildings of railway engineering).

Residential complex Nová Terasa / Vallo Sadovsky Architects

Cristian Aguilar — Mon, 14 Jul 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The architecture of the new district is based on simple and clear shapes and colours, yet it still respects the uniqueness of each house. The uniqueness is shown, above all, in the first floor that becomes the differentiator of the houses, and in the last, retracted floor, corresponding to various types of apartments and providing for forming of generous terraces and views.
