Marcelis Residence / Bas Vogelpoel Architecten

This is a house extension and renovation project in Scheveningen, the old fishers’ town of Den Hague. The original house was tiny at best. It’s the last of a short row of small workers’ houses, in a side street to Scheveningen-center. The occupants loved the city and the surf but really needed some more space. The extension more than doubles the original house and is like a little gem hidden in the alleyway.

The new impetus for the Frac Centre-Val de Loire Biennale consists of thinking of the event as a territorial action, calling for the relocation of the Biennale itself to a regional site, as opposed to “simple” circulation or movement of works. The Biennale is considered a Manifestathat promotes proximity, and which will see for future editions to “take over” other sites or towns in the Centre-Val de Loire region.

Andre Kong Studio has extended a Victorian terraced house in southeast London by extruding a series of stepped brick volumes hosting a new bedroom, study, and bathroom. The brief emerged out of two significant post-lockdown changes for the family: the arrival of another child and a shift to permanently working from home. Suddenly the family was outgrowing their house and needed more space and a refuge from the rest of the busy youth-filled household.

Heidi Horten Collection / the next ENTERprise Architects

October 30, 2022 Luciana Pejić 0

The new museum for the prestigious collection assembled by Heidi Goëss-Horten, who passed away in June 2022, is situated in the late 19th-century Hanuschhof, which is centrally located between the Vienna State Opera, the Albertina, and the Burggarten. Realized in line with the design by the well-known Viennese architectural office the next ENTERprise Architects, the museum opens itself up to visitors as a delicately balanced ensemble of old and new, with a landscaped museum forecourt and sculpture garden. The façade and the side wings of the former archducal chancellery were retained, while the central element was completely gutted so that its spatial potential could be exploited to create a museum for the 21st century. The result is a platform for art derived from the interplay between dimensions, perspectives, and spatial circulation.

Suburban Villa / Nacházel architekti

This is a home for a young family of four with a great affinity for sports and art located in the suburbs of Prague. The terrain of this property slopes slightly away from the driveway, allowing us to locate the parking on the roof of this one-story home, which leaves the main part of the house not visible from the outside except for a volume of the garage.
