Hasta La Ideas

Bloom is a product designed to reduce waste, according to ecological values. The heating circuit, wisely distributed, takes an amount of water 20 time..

Japanese studio 403architecture constructed the walls of this wooden shed using leftover materials from three earlier projects.

Entitled the Wall of Zudaji, the shed provides a furniture storage area for a restaurant near to the architects’ office in Hamamatsu.

Clear corrugated plastic clads the building to create a waterproof exterior screen, while the roof is a corrugated sheet of zinc-coated steel.

At night, lights inside glow through gaps in the wooden walls, which are affixed to a structural frame of recycled wooden palettes.

The three projects that had scrap material left over were the Floor of Atsumi, the Grid of Santen and the Difference of Ebitsuka – see them all here.

The Wall of Zudaji

We designed and built an warehouse for interior shop including a restaurant. At this time, we had some stock of materials from the other 3 projects, “the floor of Atsumi”, “the grid of Santen”, “the difference of Ebitsuka”.

So, we decided to use these material for the warehouse. But it was not enough amount. The additional idea is wrecking a palette which is used by the freight. In these days, the material of the palette shift to plastic from timber, so the company of transportation is bothered with how to dispose much amount of woods.

That is why we decided to use this material which had supported the distribution system for new distribution we dreams.

The palette is strong to work as structure, so we sticked each boards of palette with a screw to make columns and the wall.

The materials for cladding are simple, for example the transparent waving polycarbonate, the palette siding, aluminum-zinc alloy-coated steel sheet.

In this project, we wanna touch not only design of Architecture, but also material consumption and distribution by using the material of palette and some stock of other projects with the alternative deign of distribution.

From a distance, dilemma intrigues with its transparency and apparent fragility but when you come closer, the extent of this ambiguity’s potency expos..

The asymmetric timber roof of this distillery by architects Hammerschmid, Pachl, Seebacher rises up amongst the trees of a valley in Upper Austria.

The distillery’s entire exterior is clad with nothing but roughly sawn, untreated timber, which was milled locally.

The four-storey building nestles against the steep hillside and has its entrance on the second storey.

A bar is located on the top floor and leads out onto a secluded terrace.

We’ve never featured a distillery on Dezeen before, but we have featured a few wineries – see them all here.

Here’s a few more words from the architects:

The building is situated in the north of Austria, in the middle of an isolated narrow valley.

The Shape of the ground plan is influenced by the regional building regulations and the existing slope.

Moreover the design follows natural limitation given by the adjacent river.

The main idea of the project is to create one homogeneous sculpture for both distillery and living areas, opposing the existing building in an abstract way.

According to the characteristics of landscape the roof of the building is coated by facade material, using untreated rough sawn regional wood.

Most of the products around us are made industrially. Although I am a big fan of craftsmanship I believe our world sometimes just needs products to be..
