| Green Pavilion Restaurant | 3LHD Posted: 12 Apr 2011 09:20 AM PDT
3LHD has won the competition for a new pavilion / restaurant for the Agriculture and Forestry Faculty, University of Zagreb. The project is placed in Zagreb's biggest Forest Park Maksimir.
The most important element and the inspiration for this project is the location itself, with extremely high quality existing vegetation, which is densely distributed throughout the plot and gradually diluted out toward the eastern edge. The idea of the new Pavilion / Restaurant is to construct a space by mapping the area of high quality trees and to define the remaining territory for construction. By raising this “cut” green territory in the air the space "below" is created. The basic formal and functional element and a seasonal regulator of light is so-called "vegetative" canopy that has been formed along the entire roof edge.
Open atrium spaces which let the light enter all parts of the building and provide visual and physical connections with the natural environment are created to enhance transparency in the area around the trees. The large entrance atrium is the main entrance Plaza, a meeting place, an open terrace and a main entrance to all building spaces. Two main restaurants (canteen and a'la carte) are located next to two main building atriums. The canteen space is oriented to the Forest Park and the sliding doors enable its expansion to the outside environment. The Students association offices and the multifunctional Hall are part of the eastern volume, thus allowing the pavilion to be built in phases.
The small temporary buildings and greenhouses that have always been present throughout the campus as part of the faculty culture have served as inspiration for the accommodation units with ten apartments which have been incorporated into the project concept. The apartments are designed as freestanding volumes raised on the roof for privacy. Zones with different plants which may also serve educational purposes were formed around the apartments, on the roof surface.
The idea is to create a sustainable house, which will contribute to the environment in every respect – with building materials, construction and structure. In designing, a special significance is given to natural lighting and natural space ventilation, which further reduces the energy requirements for artificial lighting, heating and cooling. The roof and its oversized vegetative canopy are excellent regulators of heat, a thick protective cover that keeps the house from cold in winter and heat in summer.
The landscape design is an integral part of the basic architecture concept and the whole plot. The largest part of the roof surface is covered with succulents typical for roof gardens; other areas are organized into regular shapes inspired by plant growing plots. Communication paths and small leisure zones for guests and canteen users are created between the regular shapes.
In the restaurant kitchens approximately 1500 meals will be prepared and served daily. All working and service spaces are organized on one level – the ground floor, to enable the ideal functionality and access to all units. One of the specifics of the kitchen is full contact with the outer space.

Brazilian architect Coletivo Arquitetos recently has designed the L House. Architectural design of a house that the general plan develops in “L”, comprising two volumes directed to the central recreation area, the north and the forest. The garage volume frame the landscape for those who arrive while the master volume rests on the first, inviting the shipment.  L House, render courtesy Coletivo Arquitetos  L House, render courtesy Coletivo Arquitetos The hall, at the same time it is the connecting element between the two volumes and its two floors, is precisely the separation between them due to the transparency of glass in your locks, reinforced by the empty feeling. Crossing the bridge, there is the access to the intimate area, which is based on the glass living room, seeming lightness and ensures shading and weather protection.  L House, render courtesy Coletivo Arquitetos At the bottom floor, the deck and balcony integrate parts of the house together and around the recreation area. The kitchen and barbecue share proximity and are strategically located to serve the whole house. At dusk, the house acquires a translucent and soft light, like a Japanese lantern, through the vertical slatted wood panels of the superior volume, while the lower floor, though transparent, still shielded from view of passersby on the street. + Architect: arq.

 Leeb Fruit Orchard | Architects Collective Erich Sattler Winery, is just few kilometers away from the Leeb Fruit Orchard (featured in March 2010) that recently have been completed by Architects Collective. The project is located in the village of Tadten, a typical village in the Austrian wine region of Burgenland along the border to Hungary. The property is 12 x 120 m with two existing buildings and a new construction in between. Towards the centre of the village is an existing L-shaped residential building with a courtyard and public access for pedestrians.

In the middle of the property is a new building that is limited by two fire walls and that is used on the ground floor as a barrel room, while the first floor houses a tasting room with kitchen, offices and guest rooms.  Erich Sattler Winery, image courtesy Architects Collective | Photo by Wolfgang Thaler  Erich Sattler Winery, image courtesy Architects Collective | Photo by Wolfgang Thaler The interior of the first floor has an east and a west terrace with two long glass facades that allow for flowing inside/outside spaces. The roof terrace above overlooks the village and offer a 360 ° view of the surrounding vineyards, the nearby lakes and the foothills of the Alps.  Erich Sattler Winery - Floor plans, drawing courtesy Architects Collective  Erich Sattler Winery - Geometrical concept, drawing courtesy Architects Collective The ground floor plan of the new building consists of a rectangle and the first floor of a parallelogram, which is oriented east and west. These two basic forms are connected by a series of spatial diagonals and merged into a flowing overall form, creating a number of diverse spaces, views and topographies which are relating to the sun, the patio, and the surrounding environment. The remaining areas of the parallelogram leave the east and west terraces which are used for events and wine presentations.  Erich Sattler Winery, image courtesy Architects Collective | Photo by Wolfgang Thaler The interior space can be used as a single large space or individual rooms through a large sliding wall and four large doors. In the middle of this space is a free standing pentagon-shaped construction with wooden panels that includes bath rooms and kitchen. The building itself construction consists of concrete and masonry, and wood construction for ceilings and walls. All terraces have wooden floors and the façade of the building is painted dark grey outside and white inside. The orientation of the glass facades, the integrated cantilevered canopies, the possibility to cross ventilation every room and the good insulation allow for a pleasant climate all year round.

Foundation stone laid at Hong Kong's new cruise terminal A foundation stone laying ceremony, attended by the Chief Executive of HKSAR, senior government officials and representatives of the architects Foster + Partners and Dragages team, has been held today to mark the start of construction of the new Kai Tak Cruise Terminal in Hong Kong. Reinventing the site of the former Kai Tak airport as one of the world's foremost cruise terminals, the project will create a sustainable new gateway to the city and a major entertainment destination for residents.  Kai Tak Cruise Terminal Building, render courtesy Foster + Partners The site on the south-western tip of the old runway has dramatic unobstructed views of the eastern entrance to Hong Kong harbour, framing both Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. The terminal has a large, rectangular footprint and is arranged over three main levels, punctuated by four atria that draw daylight deep inside the building. A pedestrian promenade rises up through the terminal and opens onto a large public roof garden, with open and sheltered spaces for picnics, outdoor dining and more formal events such as wedding banquets, all set against the stunning backdrop of the city. The terminal will have the capacity to disembark a total of 8,400 passengers and 1,200 crew and its design also anticipates the demands of a new generation of larger cruise liners currently being designed. The spacious interior, which spans 70 metres, is highly flexible – the concourse areas can be converted into a venue for performances, events and exhibitions, supported by the terminal's wide variety of restaurants and shops – this ensures that the building will be used all year round and can fully utilise down time. The sustainable design combines a number of energy saving measures and will generate power from renewable sources, as well as making use of recycled rain water for cooling.
