AME-LOT is a project created by Malka Architecture who wanted the whole process to be nature friendly. He aimed at minimizing excess materials and utilizing them more efficiently to reduce carbon footprint. The project is destined for rue Amelot in Paris. The skin consists of an existing module: the wooden pallet. Held using horizontal hinges, the pallets contract towards the top, allowing privacy or large openings. The modularity of the various palettes creates varied geometries, which are based on use and constantly regenerated. The reappropriation of materials recycles the existing without additional processing, which would cost energy in terms of production and create byproduct pollution. The real environmental approach consists not in destruction, but in superimposing interventions upon our built heritage.

“Oh, awesome! So Cool!”, and yes indeed it is the coolest Japanese small house in Osaka that has its own mini studio and a concert hall. Designed by Takeshi Hamada, This minimalist small house is located just about 10 minutes from Tennoji Staition, City of Osaka, precisely in Abeno ward district. This house is surrounded with old houses and shops and occupies a very narrow area that is unthinkable to even built a house in an area of 56 m2.

São Paulo-based Fernanda Marques has achieved a residence called Loft 24-7 in São Paulo, Brazil. The residence has a idealistic balance by using “outdoor” elements inside and “indoor” elements outside. On a surface of almost 250 square meters, the living room is presented as an open environment full of light, in which a light plays and the expression of nature make the space live within as if it was outside. Limestone, rough stone, steel, glass, wood paneling and furnishings that speak to the architect’s modernist style, all create a harmonious, seamless environment where you are never quite in and never quite out. The decor looks like a continuation of the external elements, combining details that recall the country houses together with those of modern housing in a unique style and great taste. Read more…
