Solar Steps affordable housing concept

Nicole Cao presents “Solar Steps”, a proposed affordable residence featuring a triple-storey ETFE greenhouse atrium that explores how threshold materiality and operability could create new forms of collective living that empower residents to make their own spaces. Sited in Brampton, Ontario, the project was completed for a third-year design studio led by professor Adrian Blackwell at the University of Waterloo entitled “Humans are more important than real estate”. The colourfully illustrated project recently won the Azure Magazine A+ Student Award for 2023.

The design concept layers architectural thresholds to redefine the relationships between interior and exterior climates, and between domestic and public programs. By varying circulatory, visual, and auditory porosity, the operable partitions, connections, openings, and other architectural interventions grant spatial agency to residents.

The triple-height greenhouse structure covers a shared terrace on the private side of the building, which becomes a semi-public, semi-exterior mediator in addition to being a climate strategy. While occupants remain protected from wind and precipitation, sunlight filtering in through the translucent high ceiling evokes the outdoors in a space that is comfortable and habitable year-round.

Deciduous interior plantings add to the seasonal dynamic, while traces of resident activity, including furniture, clotheslines, bikes, easels, and other personal belongings, populate the edge of the terrace and strengthen the community-made social atmosphere. These qualities of comfort and accessibility draw out and concentrate resident activity under the greenhouse terrace. The result is a new shared living condition that encourages conversations and interactions between neighbours.

As a result of the layered scheme, residents regularly interact with or across threshold elements to adapt the spaces in between to changing programmatic needs. Operable bi-fold doors allow the greenhouse condition to bleed past the entrance boundaries of each unit’s south face to merge with each private living quarter when desired. Sliding doors, sliding-walls, and operable wall openings within the units likewise divide and merge spaces to accommodate large gatherings or quiet study zones as needed for diverse housing situations, including multi-generational families and co-housing groups.

The street-facing arcade of Solar Steps joins the residence to the urban context through its sheltering structure and commercial program. Storefront space attached to first-floor units gives residents direct access to small-business opportunities. Oncoming pedestrians, drawn to both commercial activity and shelter from weather and traffic, animate the arcade into a lively marketplace whose accessibility and atmosphere become the foundations of a new gathering centre for the broader urban community.

Through a layering of thresholds and inhabited intermediary spaces, the individual resident’s relationship to their neighbours and to the broader community become at the same time more connected and more flexible: Agency over where and how to draw the boundary between personal and community space is given to the residents themselves.

Flow House in Toronto, Canada by Dubbeldam Architecture + Design

Dubbeldam Architecture + Design unveils Flow House, a semi-detached Victorian house in midtown Toronto that has been reconfigured for a creative couple and their children. The transformation of the 130-year-old home included adding additional living space on the back and top of the home, improving connections to the outdoors, and updating the interior and rear yards for contemporary living. The traditional front façade remains, while the interior is now a meaningful reflection of the family’s unique personalities, vocations, and shared experiences.

Also Read | 10 kitchen design ideas inspired by farmhouse style

Though less than five meters wide, with an added area of only 230 square meters, the home now seems much larger through a strategy of compression and expansion. Narrowed interstitial spaces enclose, creating a feeling of constriction, then open to larger spaces with lofty ceilings. And there are moments of surprise and delight – the merging of interior and exterior spaces, the introduction of natural light in unexpected places, and the playful sculpting of elements that establish an organic quality to the home.

Referencing one homeowner’s profession as a ceramicist, the notion of tactility and craft permeates the home through materials, forms, patterns, and textures. Suggesting a complementary hybrid of Scandinavian and Mediterranean influences, the wood cabinetry, screens, and flooring in warm white oak are accented by concrete and Carrara marble sinks, antiqued brass fixtures, and hand-moulded clay pendants. A clean backdrop of white walls and shelving provides a blank canvas to showcase the family’s collection of art, tapestries, and sculpture from local artists, along with artefacts gathered during travels abroad and the owner’s ceramics. Colour animates the interstitial spaces of the home – terra cotta tiles are laid in a herringbone pattern in the entry foyer, and a wall of geometric cerulean blue tiles defines the bar between the kitchen and dining room.

Underpinned by an aesthetic of fluid contours – a deliberate contrast to the rectilinear floorplan – the house’s interior elements appear sculpted rather than built. The helical staircase connecting all four floors is a focal point that expresses the home’s sense of flow. Awash in natural light from the skylight above, the winding balustrade and natural oak treads cast shifting shadows throughout the day.

“Curvilinear forms are employed throughout," says firm principal, Heather Dubbeldam. "Arched openings between rooms incite anticipation as they frame views of what lies beyond, resonating with curved walls, display nooks, the kitchen island and banquette, further enhancing the house’s sculptural sensibility.”

In addition to utilizing the latest sustainable systems and materials to promote well-being, large windows and skylights provide abundant light, natural ventilation, and connections to the outdoors. Mahogany-framed, floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors on the third floor provide access to a roof deck, while a similarly lofty door in the kitchen opens to the furnished back patio.

Similar spatial strategies continue in the design of the rear yard. The volumes of charcoal-coloured panels that comprise the new rear façade are stepped back on multiple planes to create a roof deck and recessed entrance. In the back garden, compression and expansion are further explored through narrowed planting beds that open to wider spaces designed for play, dining, and relaxation. The wooden pergola, brick pavers, and ochre outdoor furniture are a nod to the various temperate climates the family has experienced together. At the same time, the landscaping of lush plantings provides interest year-round.

Sans Souci reveals an ambitious new design direction

Sans Souci, a leading designer and producer of glass and lighting installations, has unveiled its latest portfolio with an ambitious new direction for the brand. The new design concept focuses on discovering beauty and innovation from contrasting perspectives, which was the inspiration behind an impressive 15 new collections set to be launched during the 2023 Milan Design Week.

Also Read | 10 kitchen design ideas inspired by farmhouse style

The new collections mark a creative milestone for Sans Souci, which has experienced substantial global growth in recent years. Among the most exciting designs are collaborations with renowned designers Karim Rashid and William Sawaya.

William Sawaya’s BRANCHY collection is sleek and artistic, inspired by the natural world. It features long crystal tubes in sandblasted, clear and metallic finishes, fitted together with metal bindings. Each component has an LED light source running through it, offering the flexibility to create various ambiences depending on how you choose to illuminate your interior.

Karim Rashid’s exquisite CHIN CHIN collection plays with perception. Flawless installations consist of crystal components shaped into golden drinking glasses suspended from glass rings, finished with gradient nano-coating. The resulting effect is a fascinating paradox – the glasses appear full, but they are empty; they hang upside down, yet nothing spills. This design is both opulent and contemporary and serves as a dramatic focal point for any interior.

Each of the new collections builds on Sans Souci’s central design concept – seeking harmony in contrasting ideas and aesthetics. This approach reflects the brand’s response to the most pressing questions in the interior design industry. It is focused on embracing the contrasts and equilibrium between different perspectives – the space between luxury and responsibility to the planet, between craftsmanship and sophisticated technologies, and between classical design and contemporary ideas.

Martin Chab, Founder and CEO of Sans Souci commented, “Our new direction and collections are testament to our commitment to design and innovation. They show that we are not afraid to combine diverse elements and ideas to create truly captivating pieces. We’re delighted to launch our 15 collections in Milan at one of the biggest design celebrations in the calendar – Fuorisalone and Euroluce. It will be exciting to get feedback from our partners and the wider industry, but this is just the beginning as we continue to grow our brand and portfolio.”

Sans Souci’s exhibition ‘The Harmony of Contrast’ was showcased in April at the 2023 Design Week in Milan. One of the highlights was HARK, an immersive exhibit featuring Sans Souci’s bold designs and cutting-edge lighting technologies. The multimedia piece featured exquisite crystal cuboids that dynamically respond to the surrounding audio, emitting a different ambience depending on the tone of the sound. It offers a design experience that engages all your senses as it reveals the contrasts between cool and warm, darkness and light, silence and sound.

A building that promises to leave a lasting impression

Designed by 42MM Architecture, the new One World Marketing Office in Gomti Nagar, Lucknow makes use of segmental geometry and a transparent exterior to create a landmark structure that will leave a lasting impact on passers-by.

The One World Marketing Office is situated in one of the fastest developing areas of Lucknow, i.e. Gomti Nagar. Designed to evolve with its changing context, the building features segmental geometry which is represented both in its planning and its façade. Sliced geometry was adopted, envisioning functional flexibility in the programme.

Also Read | 10 kitchen design ideas inspired by farmhouse style

The segments create a modular geometry that can expand and contract as per its use. The meeting rooms can swell up for a large gathering or shrink for a smaller one, optimising the use of space.

Also Read | Beginners guide: Creative ideas for styling your new living space

The volumetric geometry resembles a glass sliced with vertical ribs. Transparency was adopted to embrace the public nature of the building, with the vision of converting it into a public place. The functional transformation is eagerly anticipated with the booming infrastructure and population in the surrounding locality. The transparent building envelope welcomes and embraces people. The green segments within the building add a biophilic touch to the architecture and interiors of the project. The infinity water pool along the periphery of the building adds a floating effect to the transparent mass.

Also Read | How to select a dinnerware set that matches your home decor?

Just like the façade, the spatial configuration is also segmental. The building consists of three broad zones. The left-wing, also called the Visitors’ Zone, constitutes five meeting rooms. The central wing is the reception-cum-display area, also called the Display Zone. The right-wing comprises workstations, a conference room, and a director’s cabin, called the Office Zone. The segmental planning bifurcates the population within the building. The central zone is large and open, giving a welcoming vibe to all its visitors, while the segregation ensures smooth functioning.

The building features two materials – glass and concrete finish paint. The main skeleton of the building is transparent, while the vertical diaphragms are crafted in brick and metal. The segmental wave is finished in concrete paint.

The binary material palate of the building allows it to feature a prominent grey colour while reflecting the colours of its surroundings – which includes greens from the vegetation, grey from the arterial road, and blue from the sky and water. Hence, the building can camouflage while simultaneously standing out.

The vertical segments are the most dynamic aspect of the building, configured in the form of a wave, both vertically and horizontally. The glass skeleton of the building camouflages it into the green, while the vertical segments create a wave-like appearance for passers-by.

The USP of the project is its temporary yet permanent nature. The structure is a temporary build that can be reassembled at any location whenever required. Its permanence lies in the impact it creates on the passers-by. The unconventional form of the building adds a recall value to it.

Are you in the process of redecorating your new living space but feeling a bit overwhelmed by the ocean full of options? Not sure where to start or what design aesthetic best suits you? Don’t fret; this guide is here to help! 

Decorating the living room can be daunting, and Pinterest doesn’t always answer all of your “how to design a living room” questions.

So, let’s start creating a living room of your dreams, shall we? 

How to Decorate a Living Room?

Establishing your Design Aesthetic: Identify the colours and styles you want

Creating a stylish and unique home can be challenging – but don’t forget – one thing about you is that you’re the baddest alive! And baddies (literally) challenge challenges – so begin with establishing your design aesthetic. Start by looking for colours and patterns that best reflect your aesthetic – however, consider the mood (very important, mmhmm) that you wanna create – whether it’s cosy or contemporary. Take your time and browse through magazines or simply walk around your neighbourhood – these people be having breathtaking home decor, man!

Next up, develop a style board with wallpapers and fabrics and other embellishments that fit your mood (and mood swings!) Just don’t shy away from experimenting – mix and match colours and patterns – until you find the one that makes you go GAGA! Also, keep an eye out for furniture items and other niceties that complement your design aesthetic – and let it tie together all of the elements of your living room. By following this, you can gain valuable insight into how to decorate your living room. 

Olivia Rodrigo got her driver’s license last week just like she always talked about – and you too can get the most surrealistic and beautiful home decor – but with the right furniture layout, though! Furnishing your home doesn’t have to be daunting; with a bit of planning and creativity, you can quickly turn your living room into one that’s comfortable and accommodating.

Start by measuring the room and the furniture pieces you intend to use, then experiment with different arrangements until you find one that meets all your needs. Visual aids such as rugs or 3D models can also help you decide on the best layout for your furniture. For inspiration, why not check out India Circus’ selection of furniture pieces designed specifically for Indian homes – our designs will surely bring life and character to any living space! Don’t trust us; be the judge yourself!

Sun in the eyes, navy blue skies, let your living room decor be the reason you can survive – so, light up your space like there’s no tomorrow! Lighting is oh-so-essential, guys – we beg your pardon, but we just can’t stop stressing o’er it! There are several kinds of lighting options available, from pendant lighting to chandeliers, overhead lighting, rail lighting, sconces, and whatnot! With the proper positioning of these lights, you’d just wanna turn off your phone and be alone, draw the curtains, and never leave home!

Consider the natural lighting as well – but how will you do that? Well, by hanging sheer curtains or blinds, you can let natural light in during the day to brighten up the room. You can also use dimmers and other devices to control the brightness of your lighting for different activities throughout the day.

When deciding on the best lighting for your living space, it’s essential to think about how you plan on using each area within it, as this will help determine which type of light fixture works best for that particular purpose. For example, if you are looking to provide task-based lighting in an area such as a home office or kitchen countertop workspace, then directional fixtures such as track lights are ideal.

On the other hand, for providing ambient illumination in a more relaxing environment such as a seating area or dining table setting, softer decorative fixtures like wall sconces for chandeliers may be more suitable. Whether you’re looking for something traditional or contemporary, India Circus has it all – visit our website today!

Also Read | Shiro Kuramata’s Samba-M shines again with Ambientec at the supersalone in Milan Is this how you fall in love? Well, bringing in the finishing touches and getting all intelligent with adding accent pieces will make the room more humming! Adding the right finishing touches to your living space can be an immaculate way to make it more inviting. Curtains and rugs can provide texture and introduce vibrant colours or patterns to any living area. Wall art, such as canvases, photographs, or prints, can express your style while brightening up a room.

When selecting curtains for your living room, consider fabrics such as silk or velvet that are both beautiful and practical. Try opting for heavier materials like damask or jacquard to create a luxurious feel in your home. Look for interesting patterns or colours to bring life to your living space. India Circus is an excellent source of vibrant designs that add character to any room.

Rugs are an excellent option for decorating a living room as they come in endless sizes and shapes with various textures and colours. Rugs can also help define different areas within an open-plan layout if you’re looking to separate spaces without walls. For instance, if you want to differentiate between dining areas and lounges, consider using patterned rugs that contrast each area’s design aesthetic. India Circus offers innovative rug designs that would be perfect for this purpose!

Wall art is another essential element when styling a new living space. It adds visual interest while also expressing who you are as an individual – from classic oil paintings to modern abstract pieces – there is something out there for every person’s taste! If you’re looking for something unique, why not check out India Circus’ collection of handmade wall art? From hand-painted tiles to ceramic sculptures, these pieces will surely upgrade any room’s design aesthetic!

Finally, don’t forget about additional lighting solutions such as lamps or wall sconces, which can help bring warmth into any living space while creating moods through dimming options. By following these, your new living space will truly come alive!

Shopping for essentials that will bestow a phenomenal glow on your home decor is paramount. Choose the right accent pieces, furniture, and appliances that fit your design aesthetic. First, make a list of all the items that you need and prioritize them according to what your budget allows. Next, choose furniture items or other accent pieces (while considering the size and colour) and compare them to the overall aesthetic. If it’s all wow-worthy and cute, go ahead with it! Avoid purchasing items that are too large or too small, as it might disrupt the room’s balance.

Then, look for multi-functional pieces that can be used in more than one way – this helps maximize space and create multiple looks with one piece of furniture! Opt for an impressive selection of furniture pieces that offer versatile uses like side tables and can also serve as additional seating solutions or coffee tables with storage compartments built-in.

Finally, make sure everything is safe! Before making any purchases, check customer reviews online or ask someone who already owns any given item about its durability and safety measures like whether it needs assembly instructions etc. Following this tip on shopping wisely for essentials like furniture, appliances and other items while keeping within your budget limit and design aesthetic guidelines, styling your new living space doesn’t have to feel overwhelming anymore!

What are the advantages of having quality dinnerware

Dinnerwares are the most striking factor of any dining area, whether it's an evening party or a plain dinner at home. If you aim to create this vibe, impress your visitors, and stock up on long-lasting crockery, you should invest in high-quality dinnerware. Good quality dinnerware is worth the money you invest and looks the same even after years. There are many other practical benefits too for investing in the best quality dinnerware sets, like being highly durable, safe to handle, and more.

Let's see the advantages of the best quality dinnerware sets and where you can buy them.

You can also use this as a buying guide to transform your dining area with elegant, good-quality crockery pieces that elevate your dining experience.

Why high-quality dinnerware sets?

Five reasons why you should ditch poor-quality dinner sets and splurge on first-class products made for contemporary homes.

They are resilient

Careless mistakes can happen anytime, but when it happens while handling your dinnerware, it's your money that's down the drain. Poor-quality dinnerware made of porcelain, ceramic, or plastic is often thin and is more prone to breaking and cracking. Replace them with high-quality products made of best-sourced materials. They will last longer even if you use them regularly without any sign of wear and tear.

They are sophisticated

Your food can be delectable, but they look outstanding when you pair it with the right dinnerware. It instantly becomes eye-popping, especially with kids and guests and gets you all the praise your cooking deserves. They look great in pictures and are a nice addition to your cupboard display. These high-quality pieces are timeless too, which means you don't have to replace them with something new and trendy.

They are safe

High-quality dinnerware is much safer to handle hot food and is even microwave-safe. They don't release toxic chemicals into your food, unlike some low-quality everyday dinnerware products. For example, cheap Melamine or plastic plates are often not food-graded and can turn your food hazardous if exposed to high heat.

They are easy to clean and store

High-quality dinnerware sets are mostly easy to clean and are dishwasher-safe. This means you are not spending any additional minutes on your sink, taking extra care of soiled crockeries and removing dirt and food colour from them. With minimal care, you can store them without fearing cracks or prints wearing off.

They bring in a fresh look!

If you are keen on designing your home with unique and stylish elements, you should also consider buying exquisite dinnerware sets. They come with fresh designs, patterns, and colours which refresh your dining room. You can select prints that go with your dining area wall paint, decor objects, dining table linens, or any other object in this place.

They are great mood uplifters

Dining becomes more enjoyable when food is served in the right crockeries. Whether it's a family gathering or an extended dining event, your dinnerware manages to get the attention and offer everyone a wholesome dining experience. Everyone becomes more aware of the ambience and participates right from setting up the table to cleaning it off.

Your special occasions are covered!

Want to make your special days more special? There is nothing better than home-cooked food served in an exclusive dinner set for that. Celebrate little and big moments memorably and convey to your family members that special dinner sets aren't only for guests.

Drinkware often goes unnoticed when you decide to redo your dining area's look. But the list of options is endless here, whether it's for quenching your thirst or serving cool beverages.

What is the most common drinkware?

Drinkware is the common term for anything that carries water and beverage, either to store or serve them. Following are the most commonly used drinkware products that you must include in your collections.

Tumbler: The foremost thing you do when you receive gusts is serve water. A tumbler is what most Indian households use for this purpose. So, it's an integral part of the dining or the coffee table and often accompanies a jug. Tumblers are available in different materials like steel, copper, glass, crystal, and plastic. Their price and look differ based on this material. They are best to serve water and chilled beverages. You can reserve expensive tumblers for guests as they need higher maintenance and can be fragile.

Sippers and Water bottles: Water bottles are often for storage purposes and are easy to carry around for office, gym, and other payouts. Sippers are for personal usage while water bottles are for common usage. Like tumblers, water bottles come in different quantities and base materials. They are widely made of plastic, glass, or any other metal like copper. 

Compared to other materials, copper is the best choice next to glass. If you want to drink healthy water, then glass is the best option, next to copper.

Jugs: Reserved for dining tables, jugs are the most classic drinkware and are a must in hot seasons. There are jugs made of copper, glass, fibre, and stainless steel, yet copper jugs can stand out well and are long-lasting. Choosing water jugs is pretty easy as they all come in the same size and quantity, yet differ in appeal. If you want a sophisticated look, you can go for jug sets with pretty prints all over them, rather than a plain one.

Glasses: These are more formal drinkware than tumblers and don’t have a wide opening at the top. They are best suited for hot beverages like tea or coffee. They aren't pricey like other drinkware but you have to buy them in multiple quantities and maintain them carefully. Even if one breaks, you might not be able to use the whole set. You can also buy glasses in other materials like ceramics, bone china, mud, etc.

Mugs: They are popular options to have coffee, without which many cannot start their day. As they are mainly for at-home and personal usage, you can be creative and choose what appeals to you the most, rather than focusing on aesthetics. You can buy suitable coasters for them to protect your tabletop from stains.

The formal option would be cups and saucers which are ideal to serve guests. 

Other than these common drinkware sets, there are barware and stemware to pour and serve wine and other alcohol.

Which material is ideal for drinkware?

This depends on what drinkware you are purchasing, the purpose, and the frequency of its usage. If you are buying drinkware for daily usage, you can choose jugs and water bottles made of copper as it is durable and resilient. But, it also requires more effort to clean and maintain it like it's new.

On the other hand, glass is easier to clean and is dishwasher safe when you use a low-acidic soap solution. It can look elegant as well and go with any tumbler glass set. They are often used in business drinkware collections. However, one needs more care while using them if it's for the home environment.

Ceramics is the next suitable option and it ticks most boxes. They are budget-friendly, look appealing, are slightly durable, and are dishwasher-friendly too. But, they might not look the same way after months or years of usage.

One material that's commonly used in drinkware in recent times is bone china. This is stronger than any other materials, isn't pricey, and looks stunning of all. The utmost benefit is that they are chip-resistant and don't get damaged easily.

You can weigh these pros and cons and choose the most suitable material depending on your purpose.

Urban Infill Berlin Berlin, Germany Appels Architekten

Appels Architekten proudly presents Urban Infill Berlin, a building situated in the second row of a typical Berlin perimeter block development that fills a void left by the destruction of the rear building during World War II.

The volume of the new development closely resembles the demolished building, enveloping two backyards within its distinctive S-shape design. The unique design results in three typologically distinct outdoor spaces, each with its purpose and character. From the lively streetscape to the serene green garden courtyard, the transition is seamlessly woven through pavement changes, topography, amenities, and carefully selected vegetation. The generous pierced entrance hall in the new building, and the existing drive-through in the front building, establish connections between the backyards and outdoor spaces.

A key aspect of the development is the diverse housing mix of the 24 units, catering to a wide range of residents, from singles to families. The clever configuration of duplex apartments on the first floor provides inner-city ground-floor living with privacy and individual entrances for 25% of the apartments designed as two-story units, offering residents the opportunity to create distinct living environments on separate floors. For example, the upper-floor living can be combined with atelier or studio spaces on the lower floor, facing the tranquil courtyards.

Inspired by the surrounding Berlin townhouses, the new building is characterized by a rough mineral materialization of the perforated facade. While the design pays homage to its context, the two-story ground floor facade and the large floor-to-ceiling windows establish an independent identity within the backyards. Inside, the use of raw interior materials celebrates the fading traces of craftsmanship found in modern housing aimed to maintain the intrinsic nature of the surfaces as an atmospheric element.

A core focus of this project is the creation of a strong identity for the location, fostering a sense of community and interaction among its residents. In contrast to conventional common spaces, emphasis has also been placed on highlighting specific areas within the outdoor space as identity-creating spaces.

[dd:gallery id=1167]

These intentional design choices encourage chance encounters and casual exchanges among individuals whose connection is based on the identity of the place. This strategy aims to enable meaningful interactions and enrich the lives of the community, without forcing it on its residents.

7 gift ideas and tips for your loved ones

When you select house-opening gift ideas, keep the following points in mind.

Buy something that they use: When you gift someone to wish for their celebratory moment, make sure the product is useful to them. That way, your gift appears thoughtful and becomes worth the money you invested. You can sneakily check if they have similar products or try to find what they are looking forward to receiving and select a product based on that.

Put extra care into brittle items: Nothing can break someone's heart more than opening a present and finding it in a broken condition. If you are bringing gifts that can break or crack, take extra care to double-pack them or mark them while shipping. Even after handing over the gift, remind them to handle it with care.

Also Read | Bright whites, chrome yellows, and curved geometry put together a space that promotes life

Budget matters: It's okay to splurge to pamper our loved ones. But when you set a budget, you know the boundary within which you could choose a new home gift easily. It controls you from spending too much and allows you to choose the best product for the best price.

The higher budget may also take away the recipient's thunder and cause plain awkwardness to everyone. So, leave out options that are too expensive or too huge.

It shouldn't always be materialistic: It's okay if you don't want to load up your house with another decor item or run low on budget. You can rather offer them something they can experience, ie sponsoring an adventure sport or a vacation or entry tickets to a show, etc.

The Oatmeal Factory Xinzhou, China JSPA Design

JSPA Design unveils The Oatmeal Factory, located in Ningwu, Shanxi province, China. The project consists of the creation of an Oatmeal factory, transforming raw oats into flour products. The production process, mostly automated, needed two different production lines with high-volume machinery, as well as spaces open to the public with a shop, a café, and office space.

Also Read | 10 kitchen design ideas inspired by farmhouse style

The surroundings of the project featured newly constructed industrial buildings, dry landscapes, and coal mines, and it seemed like an interesting concept to develop the factory as an introverted building that would recreate its natural environment. Besides satisfying all functional requirements, the project conceived of the building as a stimulant of the human senses, generating surprising experiences for visitors.

The idea was to use a system of brick walls to enclose and hide the various technical spaces of the factory in an opaque ground floor, and to establish a simple concrete volume on the top of it to host the public spaces of the program. Patios and large gardens will pierce the whole building, providing natural light and creating impressive spatial dilatations within the factory. Central production spaces will also receive natural light from concrete sheds, opening the roof to the north light.

Also Read | How to select a dinnerware set that matches your home decor?

The system of brick walls starts from the front of the factory, where a landscaped area is voluntarily left open for use by the local community, with benches and water pools for kids to play. Brick walls emerge slowly from the benches to become the property fence of the factory, and the façade of the entire building.

The shape taken by the brick walls will form and define the different entrances of the factory, each with a specific function: Raw materials delivery, product loading, staff and visitor entry. Separated into distinct lanes, staff and visitors will never cross paths inside the factory. While workers will enjoy functional organization, visitors will enter a planned spatial experience. The production line is showcased to the visitor in an elevated corridor overlooking the workshop.

The dormitory for employees was set up in the back of the factory and was conceived as an invisible architecture. The brick fence wall was thickened to host the building, and patios were created to bring light to the rooms, while still preserving their intimacy. The space between the factory and the dorm becomes a garden in which a concrete table and square seats were set up.

The choice of construction materials carries a strong meaning: the use of grey brick is a way to create a deep relationship with the site using local construction methods. Exposed concrete, on the other hand, emphasizes the modernity of the building, enabling structure and architecture to be bound together.

The landscape design is also fully integrated into the design process. Rainwater is collected on the roof and redirected to water pools on different levels through cast-in-place concrete water exhausts, making its natural circulation part of the experience of the space. The water flows up to the entrance of the factory, where a last waterfall, combined with a twelve-meter cantilever concrete logo wall, invites visitors to enter the architecture.

Across the process, some regulatory issues were resolved through innovative design solutions. Fire-fighting regulations required a water container on the roof, and an independent element was created in the form of a sculptural cantilevered stainless-steel box.

Residential Barn in a Hamlet Zone in Switzerland

Be Architektur introduces its residential Barn project in a Hamlet Zone of around 15 buildings in a rural, mainly agricultural setting in Switzerland. This new home in the hamlet feels obliged to honour the area’s historical context.

Typical barn characteristics were taken up and reinterpreted in a modern way. From a distance, the residence discreetly blends into its rustic surroundings. The exterior facade is clad in glazed spruce wood – the same type of timber used on traditional Swiss barns. A pitched roof was designed in the same vein, with tile roofing typical to the local architecture.

The building responds to the topography of the site. Building on a slope usually requires excavation behind the building and backfilling in front, but this approach was deliberately rejected. Instead, the ground floor is arranged in a series of levels at different heights to follow the existing slope.

Also Read | Beginners guide: Creative ideas for styling your new living space

A barn is typically used for storage and as a workroom for agricultural production. Although this new building is not a depository, its rooms – bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, etc. – are “stored” within it as closed volumes figuratively stacked on top of one another. This “stacking” creates a sculptural interior, which is a positive spatial volume within the building. A negative volume forms around these stacks, comprising a landscape of open living spaces that are interconnected vertically and horizontally. A generous interior unfolds with a sense of endless expanse.

Also Read | How to select a dinnerware set that matches your home decor?

The new building reinterprets the simple, unadorned nature of a traditional barn through its choice of materials. Exposed concrete slabs for the floor and a special plaster covering the walls ensure a raw, unfinished feel. Two different materials with a similar effect – concrete and plaster – are used throughout the interior to achieve an expressive effect.

The freestanding two-car garage in exposed concrete was created using the same timber formwork as that used for the house facade. A photovoltaic system was installed on the gently sloping concrete gable roof, with solar panels covering the surface like a carpet. The new home enters into a thematic dialogue with the surrounding agricultural buildings for a unique interpretation of the vernacular barn typology.

Choose the colour and theme ahead

Fixate on the colour and theme while building or refurbishing your dining area. Select the flooring material, furniture, and decor items based on an ideal magazine outcome.

Focus on the layout

A perfectly laid-out dining area gives out more calm and positive vibes. You won't be constantly spending time organizing anything too. Let your dining area have a definite place for every object and follow it religiously.

Less is more

Dining room design ideas can sound exciting. But going minimal and not hoarding too many objects will bring out the best of your space. 

More free space, less traffic

Your dining room is one of those spaces where your whole family is going to jampack themselves every then and there. Keep in mind to leave more free space for everyone to move around freely and not feel claustrophobic.
