La Blanqueada by Muro Studio

This particular urban house by Muro Studio of 140m2 is located in a small street passage called “la blanqueada”, in a residential area of Villa Devoto, Buenos Aires City. Its name comes not only from the passage where it’s located but also from the color of its walls -blanqueada means whitened-. La Blanqueada was born as a complex project, the original house was found in very bad condition, counting with only certain elements to preserve. In addition, being the lot right before the corner and of a bare surface of 8,66m x 12,70m, the darkness was complete. Photography by mul.raw.

Park House by Paulo Martins

The Park House designed by Paulo Martins is located on a quiet, central street in the city of Aveiro, facing a natural, tree-filled area, the city park. It emerged from the alteration and expansion of a deteriorated Art Nouveau building constructed in the 20th century. The facade features various plant, animal, and human elements carved in limestone, whose architectural and historical value was essential to preserve, thus guiding the material and formal character of the rest of the intervention.

Free Plan by Desjardins Bherer

Leave a reply

Free Plan is a project designed by Desjardins Bherer. A concrete house built in the 1990s needed an update. The closed-in kitchen created a wall between the living spaces, and the decor, in saturated primary colours, produced a rather cold atmosphere. In 2017, the owners decided to refresh the property with a more contemporary and all-encompassing look. Photography by Adrien Williams.

Belvedere by Desjardins Bherer

Leave a reply

Belvedere is a project designed by Desjardins Bherer. The future owners were captivated by this completely glazed, brightly lit space, with Mount Royal as its backdrop, its immense terrace stretching from east to west and a wealth of services close at hand. Located in a 40-floor tower that had been completed just months before, the apartment was still a concrete shell. But it was long and narrow, a layout that did not suit the clients’ needs, so they turned to the Desjardins-Bherer team for assistance. The firm re-imagined the configuration and layout in order to integrate three bedrooms and a study for the father. Photography by Adrien Williams.

Wedge House by NEO Architecture Inc.

Leave a reply

Wedge House is a project designed by NEO Architecture Inc.. As the old railways crisscrossed and bisected our City, they did so with their usual efficiency and urban apathy, leaving many orphaned and irregular parcels of land in their wake. One such area is located at the interruption of the street line where it abruptly converges with a spur line. The once essential but now abandoned infrastructure has since been repurposed into a beautiful amenity and graciously granted back to the public in the form of the Iron Horse Trail; a pedestrian pathway traversing Kitchener and Waterloo.
