House in Tamatsukuri, designed by Reiichi Ikeda Design, is a renovation project of a 3-story steel frame single-family house in Tamatsukuri, Osaka. As it is on a corner plot facing northeast, we focused on external insulation to reduce room temperature fluctuations by adding layers of urethane to the external wall. Furthermore, the vertical structure of the building that is composed of 3 levels+rooftop allows the “layers” to naturally “partition” and “connect” the living spaces at the same time on a compact plot of land, essentially separating different life activities by vertical movement.

House among trees, designed by Berson Arquitectura, wraps around the trees on the site, which would organize the architecture by providing the “time” element through their bark and its wrinkles. Spaces are suggested by opacities and transparencies that ensure privacy and allow a full family life. Space was structured as a grid of modulated and continuous columns, a system that arises from the exploration of connectivity between domestic space and nature.

Gemeenteflat Maastricht, designed by Humble Martens & Willems Architecten, had a starting point to make it more sustainable. The residential building is a total composition with a classic beginning, middle and end, with different building heights and nuances in the plinth and the crowning. With the renovation of the flat in the early 1980s, the original and very refined wooden frames were replaced by coarse plastic frames. The masonry volumes were plastered in a sober brown color, referring to the stone color.
