red dot award: product design

Definiert als rein funktionale Einzelelemente eines Heizsystems, werden sie vom Betrachter dort gar nicht wahrgenommen. Der Blow wandelt einen Heizkörper jedoch in eine faszinierende Skulptur, die sich selbstbewusst im Raum präsentieren will. Für jeden Betrachter sichtbar, wird sie wie ein begehrenswertes Kunstwerk prominent an der Wand befestigt. Inspiration der Gestaltung des Blow waren für den Designer Jean-Marie Massaud die Bewegungen der Wellen des Meeres. Die Form und Oberflächengestaltung entwickelte er aus der Vorstellung heraus, einen vertikalen „Wasserbehälter“ zu gestalten.

Influenced from the client’s multitasking lifestyle, a diverse set of requirements developed for a new home. The clients, one of whom is the owner of a public relations company, requested that multiple activities could take place throughout the house without interruption; a dinner party could take place while simultaneously entertaining a group of children, or guests could come and go without disturbing the rest of the family. These programmatic requests diagrammatically divide the site as well as establish view corridors from front to back. The fireplace merges a utilitarian object and a crafted, sculptural work of art.

K House / Studio Arthur Casas

The clients already had a built structure; the challenge for the studio was to make a large reform to bring comfort and privacy in a dense urban context. The division of the space we proposed is quite simple: garage, service area and home theater in the basement, kitchen, dining and living room on the ground floor, bedrooms on the first floor. Even though we changed part of the structure, most of the openings were maintained, which brought up the idea of covering the whole surface of the house to bring unity.

Builder: Samaryn Homes: Amnon Sarkozi, Andrej Paulik (site supervisor) Area: 3250.0 ft2 Year: 2011 Photographs: Courtesy of Drew Mandel Architects The Cedarvale Ravine House is a 3350 square feet home for a family of four that is located at the edge of the Toronto Cedarvale Ravine. The ravine system, the most distinctive feature of Toronto’s geography, comprises ofextraordinary arteries that flow through the city giving unique access to the wilderness. This infill house sits on a typical mid-town residential neighborhood street, but opens to protected woodlands at the rear of the property. The building mass is formed by pushing and pulling the desired volume across the site. At the second floor, a zinc-clad cantilevered superstructure frames views from the inside and gestures to the woodlands. HouseWING / AnLstudio + Heebon.

RIBBON / Komada Architects’ Office

In winter we have little daylight hours in Niigata so we wanted interior to be filled with faint light all the time. A long and slender window turns around the house with the gabled roof like a ribbon. This ribbon window draws a light filled around the house in the time of a clouded sky. The floor of the second floor is skipped up and down between a ribbon window, so that it becomes a high side light for LDK and tectonic window for child’s room. Folding Glass Doors & Glass Walls.
