Uncloud Coffee / Unknown Surface Studio

April 24, 2024 Hana Abdel 0

Uncloud Coffee is strategically located on Khao Lam Road in Chonburi Province. It occupies a sharply triangular site adjacent to the main thoroughfare leading from Bang Saen, with majestic mountain views forming a stunning backdrop. The architectural plan masterfully exploits the site’s triangular shape, extending the building along the roadside in three core zones: a welcoming main entrance that combines a bar and seating area, an outdoor lounge encapsulated within a verdant courtyard, and a tranquil internal area for seating and client workspaces.

MOMM Apartment / Studio Loes

“Always along the firewall” may be a wonderful song or book title, but in this instance, it is the leitmotif of MOMM, a 205 m2 7-room apartment for which STUDIO LOES was in charge of the interior design. The residential structure from the early twentieth century is located in Berlin-Charlottenburg. The apartment’s existing construction is typical of an ancient building, with high ceilings, an angled floor plan, and a very confused, scattered spatial layout.

A Refreshing Terrace with a Large Roof for Connecting the Company with the Local Community—Environmental Architecture Embracing Japanese-style aesthetics and Shading. Nestled between Osaka and Kyoto, Takatsuki is an area steeped in Japanese culture. Surrounded by residential areas and close to railway stations, it’s a bustling corner where many people pass by. Here, we planned the construction of T-LINKS, a recreational facility for a pharmaceutical company. This facility is to be used primarily for recreational activities by employees and for regional events. In the event of a major disaster, the facility will collaborate with Takatsuki City to serve as a temporary evacuation space for nearby residents and people who are unable to return home, fostering a connection between the company and the local community.

Shaoxing Art School Transformation and Expansion / UAD

April 23, 2024 Andreas Luco 0

The Shaoxing Art School, formerly known as the Zhejiang Shaoxing Opera Art Training Class, was completed and opened in 2003, with its current campus located on the west of Second Ring Road in Shaoxing City. Over nearly 20 years of development, the existing campus is no longer able to meet the needs of disciplinary planning and subsequent development, which is the reason for the transformation and expansion. In addition, to promote the reform of “school-league cooperation”, the southern triangular area has been newly expropriated to serve as the construction site for the comprehensive building of the recently established Shaoxing Performing Arts Group. Two units operate independently, but they hope for organic integration and resource sharing.
