| Beachside House | Carlos Pardal & Marí Aní Oglouyan Posted: 08 Jul 2011 12:27 AM PDT
Brazilian architects Carlos Pardal & Marí Aní Oglouyan have designed this contemporary Beachside House located in Guarujá, Brazil.
The house was built to the environments be integrated promoting the coexistence of the family. Moreover, large areas of glass and openings between the paviments served to increase the efficiency of lighting and ventilation.  Beachside House, image courtesy Marcelo Scandaroli Sustainability was widely considered in the design, which predicted rain water reuse for irrigation and toilets, mini sewerage treatment plant, which are returned without polluting the environment, solar heating water for baths, kitchens and swimming pools, has an exhaust system in top sash, which minimizes the use of air conditioning.

In this way kitchen, dining room, living room, balconies and other spaces are either fully integrated or connected by large frames that make possible generous openings.

Beachside House, image courtesy Marcelo Scandaroli Considered the need, were chosen materials that bring comfort to the surroundings, for example the marble in the lobby and restroom, demolition wood on the facade and the main door, and bricks from demolition in the spa. Specific projects and air conditioning audio, video and automation have been planned and implemented in all environments.

| Rami Abbound Shop | Paul Kaloustian Architect Posted: 07 Jul 2011 08:59 PM PDT
Paul Kaloustian Architect has recently completed a jewelry store in the center of Beirut for a renowned artist/jeweler based in beirut/NYC called Rami Abboud.
The jewelry pieces created by Rami Abboud are unique and focus on creativity. Paul Kaloustian Architect wanted the visitors to discover them using their emotions, the space focuses on the pieces instead of the shop design. The space becomes a reflection of abstraction with illusion and drama.

The client is invited to step into the world of Rami Abboud by opening display boxes and looking at one piece at a time.  Rami Abbound Shop, image courtesy Paul Kaloustian Architect | Photo by Roger Moukarzel The use of mirror stainless steel for the ceiling and the table creates reflections, the space becomes interactive showing people, surroundings and the shop itself. One looses the sense of space in its classical meaning, the reflections create abstraction loosing the notion of scale and direction.  Rami Abbound Shop, image courtesy Paul Kaloustian Architect | Photo by Roger Moukarzel Everything expands, the viewer is invited inside while the inside expands into the outside. The space is not rigid, instead it changes as one is moving inside it. The decision to use reflective black is based on the will to create a mysterious space with the focus on the jewelry as the only item floating in space. The notion of luxury is also highlighted by the use of dramatic light effects.  Rami Abbound Shop, image courtesy Paul Kaloustian Architect | Photo by Roger Moukarzel The materials used are in fact negating their materiality, it is their effect of disappearance (the reflective black cabinets) and their optical illusion (mirror stainless steel) that are present. The space is therefore a visual field that is magnified, intensified.

| Aegean Breeze at Alaçati | LEO A DALY Posted: 07 Jul 2011 08:15 PM PDT
LEO A DALY is providing the master plan and concept design for Aegean Breeze at Alaçati, a five-star, contemporary beach destination resort that will break ground on the western coast of Turkey this year, with a grand opening planned in summer 2012. Inspired by the breezes of the Aegean Sea, the motion of gulls in flight and the natural patterns of the landscape, the design captures the spirit of the region's sailing and surfing culture, as well as creates a level of intimacy and exclusivity intended to attract tourists from across the world. Alaçati, an up-and-coming vacation hotspot, is located 77 kilometers (48 miles) from the city of Izmir, Turkey, and 23 kilometers (14 miles) from Chios, Greece.  Aegean Breeze at Alaçati, render courtesy LEO A DALY LEO A DALY's master plan and concept design fosters a unique beachside resort experience that emphasizes views of the sea from all site locations, while the composition of the hotel and villas is reverential to the arid, rocky landscape. The boundaries of the site frame a crescent-shaped sandy beach, which inspires the sweeping curves found in the hotel's massing, walkways and landscaping. Several breeze-inspired tensile fabric roofs create an identity for the resort while providing shade for visitors throughout its public spaces. The design creates an amenity-rich experience for visitors. The main attraction is the 102,000-square-foot (9,500-square-meter) marine park, which includes a multi-flume marine mountain and pool, adjoined by a large wave pool, two flow-rider surfing pools with spectator seating, and a children's pool. Several bar, grill and snack pavilions are strategically placed in proximity to the swimming areas and the beach. The ground floor of the 134,000-square-foot (12,500-square-meter) hotel contains boutique stores, a hotel business center and a beauty center, while the lower level offers a 48,500-square-foot (4,500-square-meter) fitness center and spa, an indoor sky-lit pool club, hotel dining and retail. All guest rooms have southern views of the sea. Restaurant facades are clad with floor-to-ceiling operable glass walls that allow the dining experience to spill out onto the pool deck and offer adjustable space for larger-scale events.  Aegean Breeze at Alaçati, render courtesy LEO A DALY Significant attention is given to providing guests with a luxurious arrival experience. A tree-lined access street terminates at a grand porte cochere, where the glass entry pavilion affords vistas of the sea and the pools and piazzas that descend to the shoreline. The lobby area provides arrival amenities with comfortable seating for guests during an automated check-in process. The residential villas, which encompass 112,000 square feet (10,400 square meters) of the property, each have front and rear balconies as well as spacious roof decks. Long-term residents have access to a private restaurant and pool on the villa Owners' Deck atop the hotel. Other unique buildings emphasize local arts and culture. An amphitheater, which completes the visual experience with a fabric roof, will be the setting for evening entertainment. Integrated into the villas are three artists' studio-cafés within the villa enclave, offering classes in sculpture, ceramics, drawing and painting.  Aegean Breeze at Alaçati, render courtesy LEO A DALY Throughout the resort, the design incorporates indigenous architectural materials, respecting the storied history of the town of Alacati. The north façade of the hotel is clad in honed sedimentary native stone, which provides a simple and elegant contrast to the glass entry pavilion. The east and west facades are also bracketed with natural stone, while the south façade is appointed with white and terra-cotta stones arranged for color variety and depth. Pedestrian paths and walkways, which reinforce the flowing curves of the site plan, are finished with a mix of local granites and flow through a manicured natural landscape of palm trees and native plants. In addition, the site is designed to meet high transportation demands from daily visitors accessing the marine park and beaches. The master plan is arranged to create a transition from public spaces to private villas as visitors move from the west edge of the site to the east edge of the site. + Project credits / dataProject: Aegean Breeze at Alaçati + About LEO A DALYEstablished in 1915, LEO A DALY is an internationally renowned architecture, planning, engineering, interior design and program management firm.

Batoidea is the outdoor furniture pieces designed by Peter Donders. Aptly named for the genus of fish which includes the elegant stingray, Batoidea is an extraordinary example of design and technology. Fluid and airy the chair defies practical conventions. The technique for the 3d printed sand mold is the same as the one used to produce the internal core of the Ferrari engine. The finish resembles the Ferrari as well, the technique for painting is the same one used on the famous sports car. Once again Peter Donders has stretched the possibilities of design with his technical expertise, and created a timeless piece of furniture.
