HE NA DRINI offices . Visegrad
HWKN
The close proximity to the Mehmed-Pasha Sokolovic Bridge is the catalyst that defines this design for the Hidroelektrane na Arini a.d. Visegrad (HE NA DRINI) Office Building. The entire proposal celebrates this important world heritage site, while engaging with the public and creating an efficient workplace.
The building learns from its surroundings: its size, massing and regard to the street, are contextual, but its center is hollow. The central void is on axis with the Bridge to create a dynamic response to its presence. The majestic Bridge should not terminate in the flat façade of an office building, instead its path continues through the building to link pedestrians to the Narrow-Guage Rail and the city beyond. The center of the building turns into a public amphitheater that places the Bridge at center stage.
The central opening provides access to the HE NA DRINI offices and the Bridge Museum, located on the 2nd floor. The Museum’s placement offers a stunning panoramic view over the Mehmed-Pasha Sokolovic Bridge and the Drina River.

Stadtvilla . Klosterneuburg
courtesy of Hertl Architekten . photos: Kurt Hörbst
The empty lot, used as vineyard, was breaking the compact architecture of a street, within the building density of the historic centre of Klosterneuburg.
The apartment house follows the logic of the historic structure by building a villa with atria, to conjoin density with backyard atmosphere. Four courtyards of varied atmosphere and proportion foraminate the roof slab of the single floor building.
The façade is geared to the neighboring architecture according to height and material.
Even though there is only one window referencing the street. Below one of the courtyards – the herb garden – the garage and the rubbish-room are situated on street-level marked by gateway and door.
The entrance is emblematized by a slot in the wall facing the street. The entrance-patio is reached by crossing the slot.
A staircase is leading through the front door, still 132cm underneath ground floor, to the foyer, where wardrobe, garage exit and lavatory are located. Following a bend to the right, facing the light and scaling the final steps there is an expansion from the high-ceilinged foyer to the central hall. The hall offers overlook from the central patio, the covered loggia, along the swimming-pool to the backyard.
The fourth courtyard is greened. One side of the central courtyard is lined by living room, kitchen, library and office. Face to face private functions such as bedroom, bathroom and guestroom are situated. Most of the rooms adjoin to multiple atria.
The consequences are exciting perspectives and moods of light. There is a flow of space among the inner courtyards, and between ashlars of light and air.

Village House . Copenhagen
Powerhouse Company
The village house is a weekend house for a young family living in Copenhagen.
While most of the summerhouses are tending to be bigger and bigger and resemble more single family houses rather than summercabins, the Village house seeks to distribute its 110m2 in series of smaller volumes retrieving the scale the classical cabin.
Its plan spreads on the site like a hand in the grass, creates a wide diversity of views, sun exposures and terraces which can be enjoyed all day long. Each window, each roof opening is precisely placed to provide the different rooms of the house with direct sunlight at chosen hours of the day and during each season.
The distributed finger plan allows to creates both intimacy and in the finger tips and convivial family life in the center.

Le nouvel emplacement du musée à mi-hauteur de la topographie lausannoise génère, conjointement avec la Place de la gare, une grande terrasse urbaine. Une telle proximité d’un centre infrastructurel et d’un centre culturel produit de grandes opportunités. S’il est possible d’ouvrir le musée à la ville, celui-ci peut également, par sa fonction de lieu artistique, devenir un catalysateur essentiel de la production urbaine et de la vie publique.
Pré-existence
La halle aux locomotives ne peut pas directement être transformée en musée. Mais sa forte identité spatiale en fait un bon point de départ pour un nouveau bâtiment fort et contextualisé. Les spécificités de la halle existante deviennent les générateurs des éléments du nouveau bâtiment: la composition de la halle en nefs latérales et centrales, la halle centrale et les arches vitrées, la façade Est et le rythme de ses ouvertures avec le hall qui se trouve derrière elle, ainsi que l’espace extérieur qui la précède, ou encore le rythme des fenêtres et des toits.

The National Gymnastics Centre Pegan Petkovšek is part of the comprehensive renovation of Svoboda Sports Park in Ljubljana. It is the first of the three sports halls that are to be built on the western edge of a belt between an access street on one side and a large greened park layout with sports grounds on the other. The building of the gymnastics centre is placed on the northernmost part of this belt. The northern and western edge of the building reference the building line regulated by the spatial acts, which also stipulate the greatest built ratio and the height of the building. The strict urbanistic regulations necessitate a very compact design that allows for little deviation.

The formal and constructive references will come from the environment, native materials, the landscape and the scale of the existing buildings.

Um den grösstmöglichen freien Raum zu erhalten und die Silhouette der Anlage massstäblich zu ergänzen, ist das meiste Volumen unterirdisch angeordnet. Der grosse Innenhof bietet Platz für Begegnungen der ganzen Schule, ist Raum für spontane Aktionen und Pausenhof.
Der Neubau ist in drei funktionale Teile gegliedert: den Schwimmhallenflügel mit Garderoben, mit je der Hälfte des Volumens oberirdisch und unterirdisch, den zweigeschossigen Lichthof, der zwischen Schwimmhallenflügel und Turnhallen vermittelt, und die Doppelturnhalle auf -11.40 m, die über den Geräteraum an den Schwimmhallenflügel andockt.

The house on Brunnenstrasse 9 with a total of 1.000 sqm is an extension of the foundations of a building ruin that was the result of a bad investment in the ’90s. The existing consisted of the cellar walls towards the neighboring house, the street and the courtyard, and a cellar ceiling, with exception of the parts of the lift and the drive-through; the steel reinforcement of the incomplete building protruded from the street level. The found structure was not only included but was even further developed in the new building. The angles of sun rays determine the volume of the attic floor, maximizing the light exposure of the building in the back.

How to imagine a museum that liberates the experience of art from the dominance of the site's omnipresent landscape? Rather than organizing the museum's spaces in relation to the site's abundance of daunting nature, this proposal sets out to create a museum that mediates between two worlds: an external world of nature and an internal world of art.

neue Bad . Gland
Preiswerk Marek Architekten
Das neue Bad in Gland ist mehr als ein Hallenbad. Zusammen
mit den gestalteten Aussenbereichen ist das Bad als parkähnliche Freizeitanlage vielfältig nutzbar. Es dient dem Sport und der Entspannung in der Natur. Auch kleinere kulturelle Anlässe im Entrée sind denkbar. Das zu den Aussenräumen orientierte Gebäude bietet für alle Aktivitäten die notwendige Infrastruktur.
Im Sommer wird das neue Bad
zu einer Freibadanlage mit überdachtem Schwimmbecken.
Das neue Gebäude wird ins Zentrum des Baufelds gesetzt, um die Qualitäten des Orts nutzbar zu machen. Der Grundriss orientiert sich am Verlauf der Sonne, am Panormablick auf die Alpen und an der baulichen Situation.
Schon beim Betreten des Gebäudes hat man einen Überblick über alle Bereiche des Bads sowie auf die Wasserfläche des Schwimmbeckens. Das zentral gelegenen Entrée ist Verteiler, Lounge, Warte- und Aufenthaltsbereich. Von hier aus werden das Bistro und die Garderoben ebenerdig erschlossen. Auch von diesen
Bereichen aus ergeben sich viel-
fältige räumliche Beziehungen und Durchblicke, was das ganze Gebäude grosszügig und leicht wirken lässt.

Boilerhouse studios . Dublin
gracias a AQSO, arquitectos office
The project is located in Dublin, in an area under a urban regeneration process. Ballymun’s regeneration plan has gradually seen the introduction of a new town, parks, leisure facilities and other physical infrastructure which will increase the significance of Ballymun within Dublin’s city fabric. Although investment efforts have improved urban quality in Ballymun, the Boilerhouse studios aim to provide something that is still missing in Ballymun, the project intends to create an identity that will give the town au unique sense of character and a new spirit. The Boilerhouse studios will be a public facility that will be the reference center of the area. The scheme intends to project a new spirit in Ballymun, for the Boilerhouse studios to be well known in Ireland and Europe,
and thus add a further dimension to the development of Ballymun. The Boilerhouse studios will become a new cultural icon and destination, a force that encompasses social difference in a central point of interest and significance. In this way, the project endeavors to bring a higher quality of living while harnessing the underlying notion of social inclusion.
The project is conceptualized as undertaking a ‘surgical operation’ in the Ballymun neighborhood, by introducing a cultural and artistic program. The Boilerhouse site currently holds uniqueness, a point of reference in Ballymun, with its chimney giving it a characteristic form

Nebuta house . Aomori
Construction began in March 2009 on a unique and sculptural building on the waterfront of Aomori City in Northern Japan. Twelve meter tall ribbons of steel make up a screen that completely encircles the building, with a shifting pattern of light and shadow that changes through the day and night. This mysterious volume enclosed by the ribbon screen will house a deep dark dwelling space for the giant paper characters and creatures of Aomori city’s famous Nebuta festival.
