#BrickWeek 2 - Bricks Berlin Schöneberg
In Germany, building with bricks is nothing new. But in Berlin Schöneberg, there are two new buildings that bring a flavour of Brick Expressionism back in town.
Season 2, Episode Two: Bricks Berlin Schöneberg
From The Garden House
How to fully enjoy your garden? Simply by building your house around it, making it the ultimate element of your landscaping project.
Interlude House
In one of Bangkok’s neighbourhoods, the Interlude house has been designed not only to live and escape the busy urban life but also for the essential little moments in between.
Elements House
In Greece, Elements House is hiding on a hill with an arid landscape but spare no opportunity to enjoy the view over the Cyclades.
#WoodWeek - 2m26 Kyoto House
“The Japanese are a forest civilisation. Their culture, philosophy and religion are carved out of the forests that blanket the country – not to mention all manner of everyday things, from houses and shrines to walking sticks and spoons.” – Dr. Qing Li, Shinrin-Yoku*
Day 6 – Kyoto House, Kyoto, Japan
#WoodWeek - The Barn House
In Australia, there is a figurative local expression “to have the wood on” meaning to have an advantage over someone, to be able to deliver them a knockout blow, or to stun them. This project is, for sure, taking advantage of living a modern countryside life, 25 minutes away from Brisbane.
Day 5 – The Barn House, Pullenvale, Australia
#WoodWeek - JapoNeza Retreat
In Mexico, there is a saying: “El que a buen árbol se arrima, buena sombra le acobija.” (He who gets close to a good tree will find a nice shade for shelter)… This wooden retreat is definitely made for that.
Day 3 – JapoNeza Retreat, Atlangatepec, Tlaxcala, Mexico
Maison du Parc
In Montréal, an early-century mansion has been completed revamped with an original space organisation creating a special atmosphere.
Hive House
By the Tapi River, the Indian city of Surat (Gujarat) has built its fame as a centre for textiles. In Vesu, the upcoming part of the city, a metallic structure constructed as a mono-space living has recently been completed.
#ConcreteWeek - K. Barghouti House
Thick concrete slabs running in parallel, massive structure connected to each others… the incredible lightness of concrete construction.
Day 3: Barghouti House, Jordan.
