| B.streets Presentation Gallery \ Cecconi Simone Posted: 30 Jun 2012 01:06 AM PDT
Cecconi Simone's award-winning presentation gallery for B.streets – a mid-rise residence by Lindvest Properties Limited now under construction in Downtown Toronto – embodies the grass-roots, bohemian spirit of the city's much-loved Annex district. Oversized, photographic images capture slices of life in the neighbourhood, with its vibrant mix of students, academics, artists and young professionals. A fusion of nostalgic and contemporary design, featuring vignettes of vintage-inspired furnishings, combine to create an organic, fluid interior in cohesion with the down-to-earth, local environment.

Maxthreads Architectural Design and Planning recently won second prize in International Urban Design Competition – Urban Redevelopment Project at Tainan Main Station Area, Taiwan.  Courtesy Maxthreads Architectural Design and Planning  Courtesy Maxthreads Architectural Design and Planning  Courtesy Maxthreads Architectural Design and Planning The vision responds to the extending aim of positioning Taiwan in general, and Tainan city in particular, as a major historical based tourism destination, contributing Taiwan's economic diversification from its current infrastructure lead planning system.  Courtesy Maxthreads Architectural Design and Planning Tainan main station master plan is imagined as a cultural based community and nature intervention, with sustainable residential development and the potential for natural habitat areas. It aims to be a cultural and vibrant edutainment intervention as well as a secluded haven of peace and tranquillity. Tainan main station is conceived as a new gateway of Taiwan's history.  Courtesy Maxthreads Architectural Design and Planning The proposal aims to reconcile community and biodiversity. It will act as an eco-transitional urban device, transferring and linking the diversity of the surrounding urban districts and programmes. The concept behind the master plan proposal derives from the area's original function as transportation node. The proposal will maintain the areas historical identity, whilst providing a boundary free and a self-sufficient urban planning, incorporating a number of sustainability systems.

 Day Nursery in Paris, image courtesy ECDM | Photo by Luc Boegly  Day Nursery in Paris, image courtesy ECDM | Photo by Luc Boegly Paris-based architectural firm Emmanuel COMBAREL Dominique MARREC Architects (ECDM) has completed the Day Nursery in Paris, France. The project takes place into a heterogeneous district made of buildings of any sizes, of any styles, any periods. It's an environment slightly old-fashioned, hybrid and disintegrated, typical of the heterogeneous architecture which characterizes the Parisian peri-urban zones. Modernity came to complete this disorder : Adjacent to the site, an out of size construction, built in derogation of the property limits (adding a supplementary urban intention parameter), forbids any common denominator, any possibility of creating a homogeneous composition. The day-nursery is thus an attempt, for a tiny building of public utility, to exist in an unfavorable relationship in the shade of a twelve story construction which takes light, overhangs and crushes everything.  Day Nursery in Paris, image courtesy ECDM | Photo by Luc Boegly The program of the day-nursery introduces a small size, a small scale. If the volume comes from the requirements of the project concerning surfaces and scale, the writing of the building results from its specificity. The day-nursery is a horizontal. Protective and introverted, it occupies the ground, interacts with the outside spaces. Developed on two levels, it is organized to get the maximum of light and sunshine, and to by-pass the shade of the giant nearby building.  Day Nursery in Paris, image courtesy ECDM The project mixes the outside and internal spaces, organizes around a walk the 2 levels in a buckle of small paths and terraces, altering green and mineral areas. From the requirements of the program, it results a monolithic and protective facade. The building is in prefabricated concrete, long-lasting and resistant to the torments of the urban life. The surrounding wall is drilled by translucent and colored windows. These windows have various heights, for a place thought as much for the children than for the adults, the parents or the staff.  Day Nursery in Paris, image courtesy ECDM | Photo by Benoît Fougeirol The housing part is treated as entity. The matter is to propose an autonomous writing to an additional element, both complementary and exterior to the program of the nursery itself, to propose to the future inhabitant a living environment desynchronized from his workplace. This volume lays on the nursery, slightly out of the building line, in order to give a specific urban writing to this residential space. The project is a setting of a living place, with its specificities, its needs and also its poetic dimension, the goal is to propose for this tiny program a frame of living that generates as much an emotion with the future occupants (children, parents, staff) than the local residents. + Project factsProgram: Day Nursery for 66 children and 1 service apartment + About Image courtesy ECDM Founded after being the recipient of the Albums de la Jeune Architecture award in 1993 and the Villa Médicis Hors les Murs – scholarship in 1996, Emmanuel Combarel and Dominique Marrec Architects (ECDM) is leading for 18 years a work focused working on defining a living environment through an architectural project. The architecture that materializes the firm's approach is underpinned by the evolutions and mutations of our society. The dynamics of the project emerges from a confrontation with the context, and a hierarchization of the problematics induced by the program and the site. Environmental quality, landscape, uses, ways of life, and technical choices are all structuring elements of the office's projects. The architecture that materializes the firm's approach is underpinned by the evolutions and mutations of our society. It tends to be a simple, sober architecture following a rigorous logic, with no preconceptions, nostalgia or stylistic preoccupations. + All images and drawings courtesy ECDM                                         |

 Hypermarché Hafencity Hamburg, drawing courtesy PARAT | Photo by Andreas Meichsner German studio PARAT designed the Hypermarché Hafencity in Hamburg. Hypermarché is the attempt to attract young locals (like us) to Hafencity Hamburg. Because Hafencity is a special place in Hamburg. It is an impersonal developing area. On weekdays there are just businessmen, at the weekend the promenades are full of tourists.

 Villa Alsakys - Concept, drawing courtesy YCL city design & architecture lab Villa Alsakys – a summer house near Trakai, Lithuania. It sits above the ditch on the top – overlooking the lake. A challenging site where the villa is located with a great elegance and comfort. “V” shaped concrete roof structure is placed on three concrete rings. The result is a three massive concrete structures with two horizontal lines which helped to avoid any additional structural support and expressed the architectural concept of the villa.  Villa Alsakys, image courtesy YCL city design & architecture lab  Villa Alsakys, image courtesy YCL city design & architecture lab A living zone is facing South with a view of the lake, while service areas are located at the North of the building. A monogomous living zone is exposed to a dweller and all utilities are hidden within the concrete rings. Main house volume and entry volume are connected with continuous roofline and little bridge over the valley with an excellent panoramic view before the entrance of the house. The structure is bound with young pine trees, which will increase the diversity and quality of a changing natural living environment over the years. + Project factsVilla Alsakys Architects: YCL city design & architecture lab – Tautvydas Vileikis, Aidas Barzda, Agne Selemonaite, Tomas Umbrasas, Rokas Kontvainis  Villa Alsakys - Site plan, drawing courtesy YCL city design & architecture lab  Villa Alsakys - Floor plan, drawing courtesy YCL city design & architecture lab  Villa Alsakys - Section, drawing courtesy YCL city design & architecture lab      |
