The program content and management to meet the expectations expressed by the client to provide a housing type T4 within certain parameters. The current building, for her portrayal structure, architecturally defined, and its close relationship with the adjacent facades of the project, presented by way of maintaining this facade and to submit only the necessary adjustments resulting from the introduction of a new range to to access by car into the new house.

Pretending to this facade incorporating new materials with existing ones. The programmatic increase over the current situation culminated in the demolition of existing housing, the building, the introduction of a new floor and the compatibility of the facade with a new program, required the adoption of solutions such as a lifting platform car parking and to improve dialogue between people and place, through the different slopes and the proposed construction.

The second floor of this proposal consists of two bedrooms, one bathroom and one suite. The suite oriented towards the east and in total harmony with spaces for the couple and the other bedroom faces west and in constant visual contact with the street.

In the new level 0, limited to the current area of the property, developing a parking space, kitchen and dining area, obtaining an optimal space for the living room and office (intermediate).

The Broadcasting Place is a mixed-use development near the center of the city of Leeds. Conceived as a partnership between public and private, for the group Downing and Leeds Metropolitan University, which delivers approximately 10,200 m2 of new offices and teaching spaces along with 240 student residences in an iconic building of 23 floors. A new Baptist Church completes the package at its northern end.

The buildings are designed as solid forms of a landscape that is drawn on the rich heritage of the Yorkshire Geological and sculpture. The lower buildings reach a height of three contiguous block of flats, adjacent to the buildings of five floors. Tallest buildings ranging from 8 floors to six floors before reaching the highest point in complex with 23 floors. The strong roof surface was reflected in the mass of buildings that have a triangular shaped corners and projections sculptures. Through these solid forms, the windows were designed as the flow of water cascading over a rock formation. This design seeks to be reinforced by the choice of cor-ten steel as a solid material, sculptural and temporal, built as a front generated by a display of rain.

The development overcomes the challenges of a complicated field with a master plan that considers a highway in the city throughout the land while allowing for future growth. This location is key in Leeds and a major new public space linking urban areas to form a significant landscape element.

A key success of the complex is the innovative approach for the design of each lift. We develop our own software to generate a rigorous computational analysis of each section of the building facades. The result is a varied appearance for all, optimizing daylight and reduces solar penetration.

The North Side Copse House is a country house in West Sussex, near London and was designed by the Ecologic firm. Since its inception, the project has been driven by the idea that a design of exceptional value may become a significant asset to the area where you are. The project therefore, has developed its entirety, from concept to manufacturing and technology systems and development of design solutions.

The symbiotic relationship with the site has been explored in the plane of the facade and structural design of the house. Passive design strategies have been applied to give the house a good potential for natural ventilation and lighting, solar access, and use of thermal mass and insulation. As a result, each lift has acquired a different setting, where the qualities of the façade varies in response to specific local stimuli.

The architectural beauty design of the results thus becomes a direct reflection of their ecological value.

The Prince of Wales Country Club was a challenge to live up to the times for which they proposed to offer new services related to leisure and sport and re-enchanting and its partners to promote the informal, and increase the general use during the week.

There were well-established and outdoor facilities so the strategy was to define a platform-level sports resolved underground, and gardens of the north flank of the Club House. In a contemporary language that will not create conflict with the existing architecture of such eclectic turn, the fact of being underground maintains the existing situation of looking at the sports fields from the same building, which represents a value for the architectural design status of the original building site.

The functional unity of the new facilities is from the subway, at your sides, with ramps leading down to the level swimming pool and gym. While in the first level, connection occurs via two bridges, which link the existing building, and sports areas.

The project consists of a single flag, versatile in part to the field has a large curved wall with a steady rhythm, which contains a pool and gym areas lit from above by light sockets marked on the grassy. Furthermore, this curved wall by their morphology improves structure solution for the project. In contrast, we present a benign south facade around a yard light travels.

Important compositional elements in the main hall of the underground site, as already mentioned, the curved wall is covered with mosaics, a plastic finish ceiling, light sockets in a steady and continuous glass cloth over the entire project.

The project evolves linked to these conditions with a resounding two-volume set, rectangular, forming a very simple scheme. In this way, solve the building with clean finishes, select materials and unique qualities.

The porches and pergolas, volumetric elements such as housing give personality to the facade. The roof disappears as such became a flat roof as an expression of the evolution of the creative process. The purity of form moves to the construction schedule, materials and environment by promoting the connection between the building and the context in which it is located.

The house, of 800m2 of surface, developed in height. The main access to adapting to an average gradient field.

Inside rooms are located as follows: entrance hall, lounge, dining room, kitchen, office, pantry, a guest cloakroom, and seven bedrooms (with their own bathrooms, two dressing rooms and a terrace.

We opted for a decoration in copper and brown tones that bring elegance and sobriety to stay more social, like the living room or dining room. In addition, original designed white lines running through the living room by providing a modern and sophisticated air to the area.

In the rear, through large windows, is living that opens onto the garden, swimming pool and the natural landscape that urbanization offers.

It‘s surrounded by an attractive landscape interventions carried composed lakes, birds and a very large tree.

The Outside of footpaths and the central garden area are incorporating indigenous vegetation in nature, resistant to the climate of the area. The fencing of the plot and planted trees and shrubs along the same, define perfectly the transition from private ownership and community.

For its playful form and character, the Zenith music room contributes a large variety theater that created since the building built Zenith in Paris in 1984. The new Zenith building is an important project for the exhibition area in Strasbourg. This will be the new attraction that will give new impetus to the further development of city infrastructure.

The design concept based on a modular and well-balanced organization of the different elements: good views for all spectators, the best acoustics and an optimized cost management and addressed during the design phase of the design. The Zenith hall offers the ideal setting for guests and artists, performers. The building is to be understood as a unique sculpture, unified and independent. The amount of layers and the rotation of the ellipsoid metal structure of the facade, the design receive a very dynamic character. This confirmed by the translucent textile membrane, which covers the steel frame and creates magnificent light effects. These orange membranes also cover the volume of the music hall itself. This is the heart of the building: a totally enclosed and protected, creating a special atmosphere of the theater.

Projections on the outer skin create playful effects and convert the facade into a huge billboard in communicating with passers-by for upcoming events. The inner experience transmitted to the outside through the transparent skin: the building becomes a “light sculpture.”

Project Challenge
The starting point for the renovation was a modest Victorian house in very poor condition, with rooms with small windows and dark interior spaces were separated from each other, as was typical of houses built in the era where privacy was a cultural priority. In another gesture to the Victorian public decoration, arrangements of existing interior spaces reinforce the ancient ideal of work and family life should be separate.

Although the client requested to renovate the space do the work in the house, while maintaining a clear separation from his family life was also important to create a modern and bright space that seemed small in size and continues to be spacious and connected visually.

Response Project
Echo: noun, “a similar or identical response, as the sentiments expressed, a lingering trace or effect”

The fact that the house has had few changes since it was originally built, is both a virtue and a challenge that allows multiple design opportunities. The footprint of the house is small (approximately 65 m2). Then, it was not possible to create a sort of loft on the first floor that seems to simultaneously open and give the necessary distinction between workspace and be. The house was preview as a vertical loft, an open volume using four-story from the foundation to the roof of the new intervention. The main level and previous level of foundations is open from side to side through a staircase, which highlights the views of the foundations of the stonewalls of the original house. Therefore, the above main space of the Victorian house, once segregated into separate pieces is now becomes open and spacious. The small original windows are replaced by large windows on both the front and the sides of the room, visually extending into the garden space front and rear, and finally, possible to have spectacular views from the patio (all over the house) to the Rideau Canal.

The space requirements include some very private spaces: a study may contain several thousand books, an office and a bedroom en suite. To achieve this paradoxical response to commission a house loft spaces as private but as the old Victorian house, study, office and the vault of books are designed as distinctive volumes suspended within the large volume of 4 floors. Since these volumes “float” within the shell of the original house, they gain the necessary visual privacy from the living room on the bottom and the street outside (despite increasing the areas of windows). While these spaces are small, are bright, airy, and larger read by having visual access to both windows and to other interior spaces of the house.

The most private areas of the house (such as closets, bathrooms and stairways) are located along the south wall of the house and were protected by a screen three stories. At the top level, flying over the main room and the front facade patio, in addition to appearing distinctly as a floating volume and forming a roof above the entrance. In this sense, the attic space above the Victorian house is redesigned to provide light and views which never existed before in the original house, and due to its elevated position, maintaining privacy.
