The following information is from the architects:


This house for a family of three is located at the quiet suburb of Kobe, Japan.

House in Kobe by Keiichi Sugiyama Architect

The site, in the town lined with detached houses orderly, placed between the road in the south and the north.

House in Kobe by Keiichi Sugiyama Architect

The inhabitant approaches from the road on the north side.

House in Kobe by Keiichi Sugiyama Architect

As for the south, street trees grow up, and verdure is abundant.

House in Kobe by Keiichi Sugiyama Architect

I arranged the house on the north edge of the site as much as possible.

House in Kobe by Keiichi Sugiyama Architect

By doing so, the garden becomes larger.

And I planted one big tree on the west side of the south garden.

House in Kobe by Keiichi Sugiyama Architect

In the near future, verdure in the south garden assimilate with street trees.

In interior, wrapped in soft light from the roof window, it is composed of a wall of lauan veneer and a white painted wall.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

This five-towered residential extension to the orangery of an eighteenth century castle in Yvelines, France, is by architect Christian Pottgiesser.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

Called Maison L, the house comprises five towers linked by a concrete canopy, forming roof terraces between them and shared living areas for family members underneath.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

The towers are clad in white cement and framed by pine boards, while a dry stone wall wraps around the ground floor.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

Here are some more details from the architects (in French):


Tours… de force. Généreuses excroissances 3D, Yvelines

L’histoire de cette maison ressemble à un long mûrissement, de ceux qui donnent les grands crus. En 2004, ses propriétaires projetant de s‘agrandir décident de faire appel à Christian Pottgiesser découvert dans une publication. Comme nombre de commanditaires privés, ils ont en tête des idées précises.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

Pour leur famille de quatre enfants, ils souhaitent ajouter à la demeure qu’ils habitent déjà – sans doute l’ancienne orangerie d’un château XVIII ème siècle – une extension haute et d’un seul tenant, calée en limite ouest de parcelle pour masquer les vues de la propriété voisine sur leur jardin.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

Six ans plus tard et une dizaine de projets proposés, étudiés, modifiés, la maison s’est terminée cet été et le jardin est en cours d’aménagement.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

Fruit d’une patiente maïeutique, le programme a pris corps grâce à un processus itératif de longues discussions entre client et architecte, tenus de surcroît au respect de contraintes locales : trois périmètres des Monuments historiques, l’obligation d’un toit en bâtière, la conservation d’un réseau de relevage des eaux usées coupant en deux le jardin.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

De tâtonnements en tâtonnements, de dessins en nouveaux désirs, la volonté de profiter d ‘espaces communs pour toute la famille et d’appartements privés pour chacun de ses membres s’est finalement imposée.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

D’où la proposition finale à la fois limpide et surprenante : un soubassement puissant pour tous d’où émergent cinq petites tours dressées en totem, une pour chacun, enfants et parents compris, soit pour entrer dans le détail : un rez-de-chaussée connecté au petit côté ouest de la vieille bâtisse développé en forme d’amibe, l’architecte évoque en souriant «une forme molle ››, sur près de 47 m de longueur et plus ou moins 15 m de profondeur – qui enveloppe à l’image d’une rivière des rochers, sur près de 8 m de haut la base de trois des tours, et en dessert deux autres juste excentrées en périphérie.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

Des murs admirables

De l’extérieur, l ’ensemble n’a pas vraiment d’équivalent, même s’il rappelle des images d’ltaIie, Lucques ou San Giminiano. Le socle conçu comme un enrochement assure une transition souple avec l’ancien.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

Les murs de pierres sèches (dites de Cadaques) admirablement appareillée par une entreprise portugaise sont percés de grandes portes-fenêtres toute hauteur à châssis acier couleur rouille […]

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

Le toit, en cinquième façade très soignée, accessible par de petites pentes sur le flanc ouest, est planté d’espèces persistantes et sécurisé non par des rambardes, mais par un foisonnement de troncs de bambous fichés dans la terre ocre sombre d’où surgissent les «folies››.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

Leurs murs sont pour tout dire, admirables : du béton brut, testé avec minutie, mélange de ciment blanc et de granulats gris clair, coffré à l’aide de planches de sapin clouées, de largeurs différentes (7,5, 12,5, 15, 17,5, 20, 22,5 cm), aux traces de joints préservées, sorte de matière native.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

A la manœuvre, l’entreprise mentionnée plus haut. Son implication est au cœur de la dignité de cette architecture dont le ventre est plus prenant encore Le mieux est d’y pénétrer par la porte fenêtre taillée dans le pignon de la vieille maison. Se développe alors, sans rupture, un espace délié qui ne se découvre qu’en séquences.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

Si un œil averti la repère presque aussitôt, il faut quelques minutes à celui qui l ‘est moins pour déceler la curieuse dynamique qui l’entraîne physiquement. Sol et plafond de béton en légère pente s’éloignent ou se rapprochent l’un de l’autre, distants de 2, 18 m à 4,50 selon le parcours, L’appel à cheminer est accentué par des murs courbes – de béton laissé brut à peine texturé ou peint de gris/or, de carmin, de rose ou de blanc- qui semblent omniprésents alors qu’ils ne représentent que 5% des parois verticales.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

Insensiblement, ils conduisent aux pieds des tours surplombés d’étroites verrières. Chacune développe un programme similaire : dressing au rez-de-chaussée, salle de bain à l’étage, chambre en haut, et une terrasse au dessus pour les seuls père et mère qui profitent de surfaces plus amples que celles de leurs enfants (environ 63m2 sans compter leur terrasse, contre 38,8m2).

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

L’indépendance en famille

Ces manières de donjons n’ont pas de portes, seulement une entrée intégrant le dressing, l’escalier. L’accès à la tour des parents diffère. Il faut monter sur une sorte de podium à cinq marches -de béton brut toujours- dont la dernière dénuée de contre marche, ménage un vide rétro éclairé marquant brièvement une rupture entre les espaces semi-public et privé, un thème récurent dans l’oeuvre de l’architecte (maison Galvani à Paris, Archicréé N°315).

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

Chacun est ensuite chez soi et grimpe aux étages. L’escalier calé en périphérie et la salle d’eau sont percés de petites fenêtres offrant des vues choisies : inscrites au nu des façades, en chêne comme leurs ébrasements. Dans la chambre, la vaste baie partagée en trois pans (dont un oscillo-battant) ouvre un grand œil sur le paysage.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

Chaque pièce (environ 8 m2 chacune) est un petit monde en soi comme l’architecte sait si bien les inventer – en particulier la salle de bain des parents calepinée de métal avec sa baignoire centrale incrustée dans le sol.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

Partout un mélange de simplicité et de sophistication tant pour les matières mises en œuvre que pour l’échelle, basée sur celle du corps, et atmosphères lumineuses, dans une extrême attention portée aux enchaînements spatiaux.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

Ces derniers ne sont jamais aussi frappants que de retour au rez-de-chaussée, dont quelques grands meubles révèlent l’ampleur enveloppante et la fluidité poursuivie dans le jardin par des sentiers tracés en de longues flaques de béton couleur cendre.

Maison L by Christian Pottgiesser

De là, l’articulation et le positionnement dynamiques des tours sautent aux yeux comme leurs toits terrasses. Le PLU les imposait en bâtière, sauf si inférieures à 25 m2 de surface. Contrainte contournée par une solution aussi simple qu’élégante : un petit village de tours. JFP

A New Look at the Long-Delayed Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial

If you’ve followed the story of the efforts in trying to get a Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial into Washington DC, you’ll recall what a huge hurdle it’s been over the years, trying to put it in place. From the heated controversy over the sculptor hired to create it to bureaucratic hurdles to overcome, it’s been a long and rocky road. At the end of 2009, it looked as though, after all the struggle, it was going to happen and the civil rights leader would finally have a permanent home in the nation’s capital. Though there’s still lots of landscaping and barrier work to finish up before it official opens in August, now that the granite memorial itself has been put in place, the Washington Post has filed this report on its ongoing work, as well as a nice multi-page recap of all that’s happened to get it to nearing the finish line. They’ve also shot this video of the memorial being put in place last month, as well as a look at some of the finishing touches to the stone itself, hosted by Ed Jackson, the architect behind the project:

An Alternate Take on the Demolition of Ai Weiwei’s Shanghai Studio

0812weiwei.jpg

As with most stories, there are typically more than one side to them. Such is the case with the recent developments in Shanghai we reported on last week concerning the demolition of Chinese artist Ai Weiwei‘s studio on the outskirts of that city. Reader and Taiwanese-American community activist, Charles Liu, dropped us a line over the weekend, including a link to a story that had originally appeared in the Beijing-based business and financial magazine Caijing, which tells a decidedly different tale. Says Liu, “I am very sorry to say, these accounts paint a very different picture than the narrative being presenting by our media. [In my opinion, it’s] an example of sensationalist China reporting, these disproportionally one-sided narratives, twist of facts and half-truths, greatly contributed to America’s re-surging anti-Chinese sentiment I have witnessed.” In the interest of getting both sides of the story, and because Liu was very kind to translate the article and format it into key points, after the jump, you’ll find a rundown of Caijing‘s account of how Weiwei’s Shanghai studio met its end.

Hoxton House by David Mikhail Architects

Hoxton House by David Mikhail Architects

David Mikhail Architects won the New London Architecture‘s Don’t Move, Improve! competition with this project extending a London terraced house by just one metre.

Hoxton House by David Mikhail Architects

Called Hoxton House, the project involved reconfiguring the interior and connecting it to the small courtyard garden through the addition of a glazed facade with timber frame.

Hoxton House by David Mikhail Architects

Part of the living room floor was removed at the rear of the house to create a double-height kitchen and dining area in the basement.

Hoxton House by David Mikhail Architects

Here are some more details from David Mikhail Architects:


An extension of only one metre combined with a reworking of the interior, has transformed this Victorian house. A two-storey cruciform façade is engineered from timber (Douglas fir) and structurally bonded double-glazing.

Hoxton House by David Mikhail Architects

A white kitchen and concrete floor are offset with natural materials and warm brick hues in the small courtyard.

Hoxton House by David Mikhail Architects

Like our ‘Square House’ in Camden, this property had a multitude of small rooms, and the architectural organisation is very similar, only on a smaller scale. A tiny kitchen sat underground in the semi basement, with a head height of only 2m.

Hoxton House by David Mikhail Architects

Above: front of the property

The garden was accessed from the half landing of a cramped servants staircase.

Hoxton House by David Mikhail Architects

Above: rear of the property before project began

Aims

Whilst modest in scale, we wanted to give the house a grander architectural order to complement the existing rooms. The clients are a young couple and they wanted a great place for eating or watching each other cook or chat. They felt it essential that the new room should be connected to the garden, even though it is small.

Hoxton House by David Mikhail Architects

Strategies

By taking away fabric as well as adding it, we have been able to carve out a set of new relationships. The house was extended to the rear by only one metre so as not to encroach too much on the rear garden, or to affect the neighbours. Even so, in such a small property this single move has revealed a new potential for how the house and its courtyard garden are experienced.

Hoxton House by David Mikhail Architects

We also removed part of the upper ground floor in two places; firstly to give access for a new stair at the front of the house, and secondly at the rear to give height to the basement. This provides a generous double height dining area and kitchen that connects directly to the garden. The vistas and drama that unfold within this small house, as you walk in directly off the street in Hoxton are a complete surprise.

Hoxton House by David Mikhail Architects

Material

A two-storey cruciform façade is engineered from timber (Douglas fir) and structurally bonded double-glazing. A white kitchen and concrete floor are offset with natural materials and warm brick hues in the small courtyard, which was also refashioned by the architects.

Caracas Symphony Complex by ADJKM Arquitectos

Caracas Symphony Complex by ADJKM Arquitectos

ADJKM Arquitectos have won a competition to build a music complex in Caracas, Venezuela, with this design covered in a veil of vertical louvres. 

Caracas Symphony Complex by ADJKM Arquitectos

Designed as part of the Símon Bolívar International Complex for Social Action through Music, the Caracas Symphony will consist of two units, a music conservatory and two concert halls, with a horizontal gap in the middle of the building separating the two parts.

Caracas Symphony Complex by ADJKM Arquitectos

The concert halls will be located in the upper section of the complex, with its structure overhanging the lower part.

Caracas Symphony Complex by ADJKM Arquitectos

Below this will be the music conservatory, housing classrooms and rehearsal rooms.

Caracas Symphony Complex by ADJKM Arquitectos

Accommodation for musicians, function rooms, a restaurant and offices will be located in the rest of the building.

Caracas Symphony Complex by ADJKM Arquitectos

Construction is due to begin this year and will be completed by 2016.

The following information is from the architects:


FIRST PRIZE. Project in progress – Caracas, Venezuela 2010-2016
Public competition for the preliminary design of the Simon Bolivar International Complex for Social Action through Music (CIASMSB) and its surrounding urban area.

Program:
3 modular concert halls of 1700, 1300 and 500 seats. One of which is adjustable up to receive 400 musicians. Music conservatory: Rehearsal rooms, classrooms. Restaurant and cafeteria, musicians’ dorms, administrative offices, outdoor amphitheaters. Parking.

The competition was organized by The FESNOJIV, a government-funded organization aimed at systematizing music education and promoting the collective practice of music through symphony orchestras and chorus as a means of social organization and communitarian development, and the CAF (Andean Development Corporation) a financial institution that supports sustainable development and regional integration in Latin America.

The proposals were evaluated by an international jury composed of José Antonio Abreu, director of the FESNOJIV, Yasuhisa Toyota, the Japanese acoustician, Iñaki Abalos, Spanish architect, Anita de la Rosa, landscape architect, Lorenzo González Casas, urban planner architect, Eduardo Guzmán, representing the Libertador Town Hall and Omar Seijas, vice-president of the Colegio de Arquitectos de Venezuela. Substitute members of the jury were: Pedro Franco, architect and Paola Posani, representing the Libertador Town Hall.

PROJECT
The FESNOJIV is internationally recognized as a unique and distinguished program based on the social characteristics of musical training, thus contributing to the development of potential future for the children of Venezuela and Latin America. By promoting cultural development, the Foundation raises the hope of social and professional integration.

Caracas Symphony Complex by ADJKM Arquitectos

The competition, jointly organized by CAF and FESNOJIV, consists in the design of the International Complex for Social Action through Music Simón Bolívar. This symphonic complex will complement the existing complex located in the Amador Bendayán Boulevard, along the northern boundary of Los Caobos Park, in the cultural center of Caracas.

The CIASMSB consists of two units: a music conservatory and the concert halls. The conservatory includes classrooms, large rehearsal rooms and individual rehearsal cubicles. The modular concert halls consist of a first hall of 1700 seats (200 singers) and another hall of 1300 seats (400 singers). A third room with 500 seats shares functions between concerts and rehearsals. The remaining program includes administration, musicians’ residencies, restaurant and cafeteria, media center, and parking areas. The total constructed area is over 36000m 2.

Caracas Symphony Complex by ADJKM Arquitectos

The objective is to create an urban space as a social bond in a dense cultural program. This fragment gap divides the building into two units by means of a horizontal fracture that opens the view on the Los Caobos Park and incorporates the notion of landscape to the project. It is a meeting place for visitors and users. This space connects the music conservatory, a compact block anchored to the ground, and the concert hall, a light block suspended as a precious levitated object over the park.

The silhouette takes the poetic symbolism of the tree: the musical knowledge starts at the root of the project and the creative genesis arises at the top through the artistic talent of musicians.

Columbia Business School Announces Plans for Diller Scofido + Renfro-Designed New Home

A big start to 2011 for the architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro. Late last week they unveiled, to much fanfare, the long-awaited plans for Eli Broad‘s new museum in Los Angeles, adjacent to Frank Gehry‘s Walt Disney Concert Hall. Now they’ve made another big splash closer to home, in their native New York, with the announcement by Columbia University that the institution has selected the firm to build two buildings to serve as the new home for their business school. The structures will go up in West Harlem in an area called Manhattanville, in which Columbia has been cultivating the 17 acres they have there. It’s still early days, given that the commission is just being announced now, so no word yet on what the buildings will look like or when construction will start or (plan to) end, but word will undoubtably come soon enough. Where the money for the project is coming from, however, is known. University board member, alumnus, private equity firm founder, and War on Greed documentary fodder, Henry Kravis, has pledged $100 million for the project, which surely has to be a nice way to start. Here’s from Columbia’s president, Lee Bollinger, about the commission:

“Diller Scofidio + Renfro have repeatedly demonstrated a deep understanding of how people live and work in a dynamic urban environment,” said President Bollinger. “They have achieved beautiful, important architectural successes that have been thoughtfully integrated into the surrounding urban fabric. This is the essence of what we are trying to create on Columbia’s new, open campus — bringing together different areas of teaching and research, and enhancing the connections between the University and surrounding community.”

Questions Arise Over LEED Certification’s Real World Benefits

With everything from ugly suburban mansions to grocery stores to even the Empire State Building going the way of LEED certification, resulting in now more than a billion square feet confirmed as green as it gets, there’s been very little high-profile talk about any negatives arising from the program. Sure, there was the report that showed it’s sometimes hard for companies to keep at the standards once all the eco-warm fuzzies have worn off, and Frank Gehry made some stirs when he belittled the program while visiting here in Chicago (before reversing himself and LEED’ing the Inland Steel Building), but those have seem largely like blips drowned out by all the rah rah rah! That might all be starting to change however, as described in this great piece by Fast Company‘s Alec Appelbaum, who explains the growing backlash against the supposed Earth-saving certification. He cites a number of examples wherein LEED-backed buildings actually consumed more energy (much more at times) than traditionally-constructed buildings, as well as sharing that builders are now speaking out, saying that governments that require LEED-certified building codes “are producing dud buildings and that taxpayers are footing the bill through subsidies.” What’s more, there’s already a class action suit against the US’ Green Building Council, “claiming that LEED defrauds consumers and befouls interstate commerce while acting as a monopoly.” In defense, the organization says it’s still working on ironing out all the problems along the way, explaining that growing pains are understandable. For further reading, Forbes also has this great recap on the anti-LEED movement.

Balmain House by Carter Williamson Architects

Balmain House by Carter Williamson Architects

This extension to a family house with marble brise-soleils on the rear façade in New South Wales, Australia, is by Australian practice Carter Williamson Architects.

Balmain House by Carter Williamson Architects

The house is a new addition to an existing timber cottage, which could not be removed from the site.

Balmain House by Carter Williamson Architects

The original cottage sits in front of the new structure and is connected to it by a little covered courtyard area.

Balmain House by Carter Williamson Architects

At the back of the house a concrete framework provides shading from the east and west, with horizontal marble slabs slotted in between.

Balmain House by Carter Williamson Architects

On the ground floor, a large tri-fold glazed door extends the open plan living space out to the garden.

Balmain House by Carter Williamson Architects

A bedroom, study, library and bathroom are located on the first floor.

The following information is from the architects:


The brief was to bring light into our clients’ home and their lives.

Balmain House by Carter Williamson Architects

Their old home was Victorian, dark and periodically tight and depressing. It was little changed when we got it.

Balmain House by Carter Williamson Architects

The original house on the site is an 1860s timber cottage sourced, sawn and constructed from local timber.

Balmain House by Carter Williamson Architects

A L+EC ruling had virtually made it a heritage item, which came with court-defined planning concessions.

Balmain House by Carter Williamson Architects

The design is for a new building to sit sympathetically behind and recessive from the original cottage.

Balmain House by Carter Williamson Architects

The new building touches the old through a light, small connection that locates a gothic-like courtyard and the front door.

Balmain House by Carter Williamson Architects

The square ground floor houses the kitchen, living and dining rooms.

Balmain House by Carter Williamson Architects

Large voids puncture the upper level plan, organising the space between bedroom, study and library.

Balmain House by Carter Williamson Architects

The voids spatially organise the ground plan defining the kitchen, dining and circulation.

Balmain House by Carter Williamson Architects

The rear facade is a composition of light and shade.

Balmain House by Carter Williamson Architects

Strong off-form concrete blades attenuate east and west light, while marble horizontal louvres control northern light.

Balmain House by Carter Williamson Architects

The formal rhythm of the vertical blades are offset by the playfulness of the horizontal louvres.
