Seaford Lifesaving Club, designed by Robert Simeoni Architects, envisions renewing the beach and shorefront as a community zone. The buildings and external spaces were devised as landscape objects gathered around a central courtyard. The internal and residual external spaces are manipulated using folding screens to control accessibility. Materials used in the building’s construction were deliberately selected based on their durability in coastal conditions.

WuliEpoch Culture Center, designed by Atelier Alter Architects, attempts to create a triptych for architecture, landscape and interior design. As the site is triangulated, the project responses to the site, by stacking layers of curve walls, in a crisscrossing fashion to create layers of courtyards. Spatial demarcations are horizontal walls on the ground or suspended in the air. The ambience along the path is circumferential and religious to some extend, as a way to worship nature.

EDRA52 invites proposals that both describe and speculate on trans-disciplinary modes of inquiry using novel approaches in research, teaching, practice, and co-production to create “just environments.”

Queensberry Street House, designed by Robert Simeoni Architects, is formally ambiguous, mediating between domestic and industrial typologies, such as the Victorian shop front and the suburban pavilion. The use of brickwork references the materiality of the local context. These architectural maneuvers construct spaces that expand and contract into one another rather than being defined by clearly delineated thresholds.

Among the greenery of the coniferous forest around, from the glitter of the sun from two sides: the sky and water, the Father’s House crashes into the landscape and becomes the central hero of the picture. Getting the maximum from the minimum of the basic materials – concrete, glass and rebated roof – is possible due to a competent approach to the composition, strict project supervision and a successful dialogue between the customer and the chief architect. The experience of the professionals, responsible for this project, came in handy for this house and its owner.

Sierra Fria, designed by PPAA Pérez Palacios Arquitectos Asociados, explores the Idea of the site as a contained void with a structural open grid on top of it. This structural grid is intersected in the middle by the stairs and the service units, freeing the surrounding spaces towards the exterior. On top of this light wall-based structure is a solid block that contains the private rooms of the house; these spaces have more restricted openings to the outside views.
