Obra Castaños | Barrionuevo Villanueva Arquitectos

Obra Castaños is a residence designed by the architectural firm Barrionuevo Villanueva Arquitectos. We try to understand this work as a succession of defined areas that are put in relation to others so that a set functions. We try to develop this from its imprint. Volumetric clarity consists of determining these areas, giving them a formal identity, and putting them with other composite areas with the same logic. In this way, a large volume appears at 3 meters high, blocked by a vacuum. As an immediate result, the formal management of the ground floor injects its functions.

Renovation of Shenyang Dongmaoku Warehouses | URBANUS

Renovation of Shenyang Dongmaoku Warehouses led to development of public spaces designed by the architectural firm URBANUS.

Such an orientation would limit the creative and effective reuse of the current buildings. Therefore, the Dongmaoku project provides not only the architects but also the heritage preservation researchers an opportunity to make a change. In terms of architecture, the 30-meter-wide pediment of the warehouse is extracted as the basic motif. The morphology of this motif generates different massings to fit into different programs. This is a proper way to achieve unity between the new and the old in building massing.
