“Preserving the identity of the location and characteristics of the building concerned was for us the slogan for the intervention.

The proposed space appears as a “house inside the house”.

A “solid” volume landed within the existing space that reacts to the geometry of the shape. In this amount is subtracted from the central area thus resulting

in a kind of square separating the different functions of the space.

On the one hand, a monolithic volume with a central door is “auditorium” on the other, a volume cut is receiving and store.”

The simple geometric shape is extruded down the length of the building, and then cut through at the centre, separating a small auditorium space at one end, from a reception and store at the other.

The building is an information centre for the preservation of Romanesque buildings in Portugal. With its contemporary addition, Spaceworkers have succeeded in making a new piece of interior architecture that not only respects its host building, but enriches it historic details.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO BUILD A PERSONALIZED HOUSE, COMPLETELY ADAPTED TO ITS

SURROUNDING LANDSCAPE OF MOUNTS AND GREEN, IN FOUR MONTHS?

IS IT POSSIBLE TO HEAT A DETACHED HOUSE,LOCATED IN THE MONTSENY LAND-

SCAPE, WITH ONLY A SINGLE 1 KW RADIATOR, USED 2 HOURS A DAY IN WINTER?

19MORE INFORMATION ON: TRIPTOD.COM


At our client’s demands we designed a house made of six modules and the space among them. The modules are made of wood and completely prefabricated, with no need of later finishing fieldwork; and flexible enough to adapt to the morpholo-gy of the site.The bioclimatic study of this exact site is crucial to decide the strategies to follow in our design, in order to improve the comfort of the dwelling and to achieve the energy demands to be a passivhaus.



“The use of wood as the main material makes the relation-ship with construction experts easier, and let us optimize

construction details and costs.”

Keeping in mind the possibilities of transportation and the passivhaus characteristics we drew six modules which will adapt automatically to the solar and to the existing trees.

The interstitial spaces among the modules give the interior a flexible use for the comfort of the family and become a solar light collector in winter, like the greenhouse effect, due

to the glass walls. In spring and summer they can transform into roofed terraces next to the garden, when temperature is nice.

The design features an intense relationship between its occupants and the nature around. So the relationship between the house and the Montseny green landscape becomes one of the main focal points in this work. The wood structure and walls and the strikingconcrete

floor blend into the overall configuration of the interior.The use of wood as the main material makes the relationship with construction experts

easier, and let us optimize construction details and costs.

Femme Fanatique

Femme FanatiqueBY CTRLZAKFemme Fanatique is a space dedicated to the world of tango. Femme Fanatique’s shoes are designed with pas-sion and are entirely hand-made by specialized artisans. CTRLZAK’s design presents these exact elements, in-terpreting the essence and the posture of the dance while emphasizing at the same time the process and the quality of the product.

Technique and improvisation, discipline and creativity are the elements that within the space of an embrace form the true nature of tango. As in a milonga, CTRLZAK’s project positions in space the various elements that embrace the visitor/client within the store. The specially

designed display wall that functions as the main exhibition area for the creations of Femme Fanatique is not static but permits instead a multitude of diverse arrangements as it happens

in tango where nothing is predetermined but instead is created through the tempo and the rhythm of the music.

In tango the movement of the whole body is important starting from the feet themselves while placing emphasis on the main axis of the body which becomes a connecting link through the

couple’s embrace. This is represented by a central installation where the shoes follow the basic steps of the dance encased under protective glass domes underneath weighted lines that

indicate the precious creations. The suspended lines become the ‘fil rouge’ that symbolizes the common axis that a tango couple should have, a unique balance that makes reference to the

body’s correct posture within space.

“Each object is given a new function in order to meet our stereotypical Italian needs. The

coffee table becomes an armchair (representing laziness), the stepladder becomes a kneeling

stool (hinting at Catholic religion) and the drying rack becomes a dining table (referring to the

beloved mother that washes our clothes and feeds us). The three objects are also endowed with new aesthetics. They no longer represent mass-production and can now be associated

with traditional handicrafts.”

Dobrostol is a tray table that could be used for eating in bed or by sitting on a sofa. Dobrostol also has removable tray-box under the top of the table where (as a humour aspect) you could hide your empty and dirty plates.

You also can use this table as laptop tray. So the recesses in the top of the Dobrostol could be used as place for the cup of coffee or space for a gadgets. In movable wooden box you could store some needed notes etc.

numenfor useNumen/For Use is an Austria based design collective, working in various fields, mainly focused on scenog-raphy, industrial design and art installations. Formed in 1998 under the name of ‘For Use’ by Austrian in-dustrial designers, Sven Jonke, Christoph Katzler and Nikola Radeljković. Later that year, they’ve decided to generate a new identity for their conceptual art projects, Numen, dealing with impersonal design and large scale site-spesific installations.

ARTICLES / Review


Recently, Numen/ForUse has gained an international recognition with their Inferno project in the National Centre for Drama in Madris, follow-ing more hybrid and experimetal works N-Light series and Tape insalla-

tions among Europe.

String Prototype, applied in Vienna 2014 is one of their most significant project where Numen intensely gets involved with scenography. Defined as a ‘prototype of a self supporting inhabitable social sculpture’ with their

own words, the project reflects their recent approach in a clear way, restructuring concepts without considering the predefined functions of the

objects which are going to be used.

““The installation is based on production system of large geometric inflated objects. Since the

physical behavior of fluids tend to make all inflates spherical, thin parallel ropes are tied

on opposite sides of the volume, keeping them parallel to one another. Filigree interiors of

this technically invented system are never exposed to public.”

WAIT. IS THIS EVEN REAL?VIRTUAL REALITIES OF RAW MATERIALS BY FABRICE LE NEZET

45



London based designer, visual artist and filmmaker Fabrice le Nezet represents a multi-disciplinary approach on intrinsic value of materials with a pure, simple and visual aesthetical concern. Involving architecture with installation art and product design, Nezet certainly integrates playful qualities to most of his works, aiming to surprise viewers both conceptually and visually.

Exploring the use of raw materials, mostly concrete and metal, Nezet has a unique talent to generate creative ways to express and reflect his ideas or his approach. His abstract concrete sculpture installation, Elasticity, made a tremendous impact recently through design world. Aiming to represent the idea of elasticity and materialization of tension, Nezet points out the notion of weight and stretch in an artificial condition, making it tangible by using materials against their qualifications.

46



The viral video and digitally-rendered visuals of the project were released and criticized by many well-known design magazines in short notice, assuming that the installation is built and real, however it was totally fake and part of Nezet’s brilliant plan to surprise his audience and bring recognition to the project.

“The project ‘materialized’ the elasticity concept because it gives a visual representation of an abstract concept. Eventually, with this idea of spreading the project without mentioning it doesn’t physically exist, a second concept emerged that goes far beyond the initial project.” as he replies in his interview with Chris Townsend taken from King’s Review magazine.

Another significant project of Nezet was Measure, where he prefers to work with concrete again with similar intentions of Elasticity project, “This work lies in

the context of my search for purification around raw materials such as concrete and metal” as he describes his work. Nezet’s style and approach of design cap-tures architecture, industrial design and visualization in the same frame, forming

an intersection between disciplines to empower his research and attitude.

Eponym creative studio, founded in 2013 by himself, is now helping him to con-tinue his research in Sculpture, Graphic Design and Industrial Design. Fabrice le

Nezet’s other works are also worth checking and looking up-close in order to catch up with latest projects by this intelligent designer.

Called as the Manhattan of the desert, old walled city of Shibam is settled on

the cliff edge of Hadramaut Wadi, hous-ing 7,000 inhabitants with tall mud brick

houses, preserved from 16th century. The settlement is regarded as a spectacular example of integration between human

occupation and city planning among other regions of Arabian peninsula.

Located at a strategic point upon the spice and incense route across the Southern plateau, characteristic architectural style of Shibam district is an urban response to the external dangers, including attacks or natural disasters. Dwellings are settled as a cluster, upon a rectangular grid city plan, forming up an outer shell for the area, rising up to 5 to 11 stories high. Although the history of the region dates back to 3rd century, sun-dried mud brick houses that stands today only date back to 16th century, taking place of an earlier settlement which was destroyed by a massive flood in early 16th century.

The mosque belongs to 9th or 10th century, famous with its minaret which is the tallest of southern Arabian region and the castle from the 13th century, however the destroyed early settlements are descripted with pre-Islamic periodic origins. Representing Arab and Islamic conventional culture at its best, layout of the dwellings, material and con-struction techniques and design details are a reflection of economic and social condi-tions of the inhabitant families.

The region and houses got heavily damaged in late years based upon the flood of 2008 and the Al Qaeda attack in 2009.

“Representing Arab and Islamic conventional cul-ture at its best, layout of the dwellings, material

and construction techniques and design details are a reflection of economic and social conditions

Design Heroes / ARTICLES


Philip Johnson is not only an architect, but a philosopher, art critic, historian and muse-um director. His multi-disciplinary background can be accepted as one of the important factor for his success. In 1930, Johnson suggested a study and research program considering architecture as an art and founded Department of Architecture and Design at MoMA museum. His biggest contribution to design world is the revolution-ary approach, called the ‘International Style’ where he defines a new use of modern materials such as glass or steel and draws a path for integrating historic styles with modern architectural design. As the mastermind of this theory, Johnson expressed the importance of structure and function instead of ornamental decoration which actually became a basis for contemporary design of late 20th century.

Name: BEA MOMBAERSDesıgner: Bea Mombaers, Lionel Jadot Price: $$$ Location: Konijnendreef 6, 8300 Knokke-Le-Zoute


Bea Mombaers’ Bed & Breakfast guesthouse is a lovely, inspira-tional hot spot, located in a very fashionable seacoast district of Belgium, Knokke-le Zoute. The house offers a relaxing experience for the travelers, with an eclectic interior atmosphere and other facilities that ensures visitors’ comfort at its best.

Designed by Belgian architect Lionel Jadot, this remarkable guest-house was formerly an old Belgian farmhouse with high ceilings and large windows which are delicately transformed and integrat-ed into Scandinavian design aesthetics and generated an elegant, modern English cottage look.




The concept is pretty inspirational regarding to the sister shop, Bea Items, where the guests may get information about mid-century modern furniture or the unique collection

of home accessories that are used among the decoration of the house and may visit the showrooms to see the iconic products that are on sale.

Mombaers expresses her idea on this subject with these words, “I am constantly looking for beautiful furniture and other objects for my interior design shop “Items” and my Bed

& Breakfast in Knokke (Belgium). Hardly a day goes by without making a new and wonderful discovery. While I often can’t purchase those discoveries right away to display

them in my shop, I like to showcase them. That’s what this website is for”.

Color palette and materials among the entire project recalls a Dutch farm, where you can enjoy meals with other guests on the solid wood family table or in the precious garden just besides the swimming pool. Iconic furniture collection, including vintage armchair by Joe Colombo, dining chairs by Ray and Charles Eames or beautiful lounge chair by Percival Lafer in the main bedroom, creates a marvelous impression for the social gathering spaces and also in luxurious suites, perfectly going along with raw, gray walls and concrete, stone floors.

Open spaces and high ceilings offers enough surface for artworks which would empower the exquisite design approach while large windows lets the sunshine in through the cozy atmosphere of the guest-house. The project is extremely stirring for especially designers, can be considered as an iconic design shop where you may test and enjoy brilliant products by famous architects and designers from all around the world. One can easily get lost in details that surrounds the space, while relaxing on a comfortable couch with your family or friends, after a hard day or a tiring journey.
