The Museum of Christian Andersen wants to be the alive memory of the writer but also the mausoleum of his dreams. The straightforwardness of his pass through life is referred in the nudity and roughness of the main material elected for the building: concrete. The severe texture in the facade talks about all the difficulties he had to cope with, but in contrast, as we enter to the building we discover a complete different world were imagination rules.

Lamelas shared the radical inspiration of the post-minimalist generation, who frst brought into serious discussion, and then abandoned, the traditional model of sculpture, with its materials, its processes and its relationship with the viewer.

Empezamos el proyecto planteándonos dos retos:
Primero: un edificio capaz de hacer ciudad, ya sea desde su singularidad como desde los espacios públicos que genere.
Segundo: un edificio que al recorrerlo conecte con perspectivas lejanas pero, que al mismo tiempo, proporcione introspección en las salas de exposiciones.

Over the years, the halls, whose original function was to unite the floors of the department store, illuminating the overflowing sales areas and allowing them to breathe, were successively filled in, to the detriment of the distribution of space within the building.

The motto with which the project was presented in the ideas competition was 'Garden of Light'. These two words sum up the two ideas of the project: maintaining and improving the existing garden, and yet, obtain joyful and well lit spaces. The library inserts under the garden Vil•la Florida under the shade of its trees. The new building fits under the ground like a child hides (to read a book) under a carpet. Inside, a landscape in itself, articulated and changing where each use and each user find their place. It is a personalized and unique space.

One-family house is located on a superb viewpoint, where the view creates the joint point of interior design in the house: the living room is a cinema with a projection screen, showing an uninterrupted image of the surrounding hills to the outlines of the capital city of Ljubljana, from the tree canopies to the green meadows and forests. In the context of today's requirements and preferences, sustainability and continual development guide the design, the living concept is focused on the lifestyle of a modern man, who lives in the heart of nature, in immediate vicinity of the city.

house of fairy tales

The fundamental strand of this proposal for a new exhibition concept and architectural concept is a reformulation of way in which visitors will experience the subject matter. From the current linear progression through thematized areas where visitors learn about the author through a series of lenses; The age, the man, the art, the work, the life and finally a visit to the birthplace of HC Andersen, our objective is to elevate the fairytales themselves into the thematic framework around the experience. Bringing the narrative of the fairytales to the fore.

We admire the purity of the mathematical laws through which Arvo Pärt is capable of generating powerful poetical emotions by means of the simple permutations of a limited number of sounds. Just like those musical structures that reflect one theme in another – a Spiegel im Spiegel, or a never-ending story – we imagine the new building as a geometric pattern, originated in a repeated pentagonal form, which will contain the existing pines in courtyards of variable dimensions. All the large trees may be preserved: not a single pine shall be teared down.

Given its site, the parcel 48 allows us to create different points of view of the exterior. This way, it is proposed a house with different fronts, following the same logic of uniformity. The pendant of the ground conditions the entrance of the house by the main street since it has a leveling difference between the front and the back of the house.

La urbanización de las calles del entorno del antiguo Mercado del Born forma parte de una estrategia de regeneración de un sector de la ciudad que durante muchos años ha permanecido estancada por la falta de uso continuado del mercado. Un sector clave en el esponjamiento del casco antiguo en dirección al Parque de la Ciutadella. Se trata de dar respuesta a las necesidades y potencialidades que la activación del renovado edificio como Born Centre Cultural generará en el espacio público.

The 500-metre-long Álvaro Siza Promenade is a walkway flanked by hornbeam hedges that passes along the west side of Siza’s 1994 factory building and connects the VitraHaus by Herzog & de Meuron with the Zaha Hadid’s Fire Station. It is conceived as a path with various stations: its sequential ‘episodes’ afford wide-ranging views of architecture and nature. These include an S-shaped common area framed by hedges, the Vitra Slide Tower by Carsten Höller and an archaic-looking double chamber formed from interpenetrating brick and granite walls.

Beyond the Screen is a new type of residential complex, located in Naebalsan-dong, Seoul. The existing condition of this residential neighborhood is no different from most other neighborhoods, with multi-plex housing having held the majority. The aim of this project was to offer a compact spatial richness for living, while finding new architectural solutions in satisfying the specific needs of the user, client, as well as contributing to the improvement of the typically generic townscape so familiar in Korea.

The creation of the HOUSE OF THE FAIRYTALES is a shifting opportunity to reset the Loetze’s Garden into an important gathering place, becoming a pivotal location in the center of Odense. The city transformations, that will reconnect the center, face an historical site with potential to evolve into a conceptually strong urban structure – especially when rooted to themes developed by one of Denmark main figures.

Allied Works was commissioned to design a residence, guesthouse and private gallery on 400 acres in Dutchess County, New York. Located on the eastern slopes of the Hudson River Valley, the site consists of rolling hills, open meadow and dense hardwood forest. Each of the three buildings responds to a particular landscape. Collectively, the estate and its three primary structures create a range of sensory experiences and sites for artistic interpretation.

Originally a children’s game where, through a hopping journey through multiple spaces, the goal is to reach “cielo.” The XARRANCA pavilion will be a three dimensional representation of the journey through the multiple houses of Europe, the collective exchange of individual experiences, and the journey to reach the destiny of cielo—an integrated dream Europe—as reflected in the terminus point of the sea.
