Lightmos Thonglor in Bangkok by Architectkidd

This unique inspiration building was designed by Architectkidd, they presented the Lightmos Thonglor from Bangkok, Thailand. These buildings usually begin as concrete constructions, and that looks like an “accidental” façade idea which resulted the circular holes seen here on the exterior surface of the Lightmos Thonglor. These design could reflect on the sometimes improvisational nature of construction in Bangkok.

The circular holes seen was an outcome of these design which formed with exactly focus on the exterior façade and experiment with building materials and techniques. It just to follow certain construction pratices but at the same time, it tried to undermined some of these aspects. Using holes as the cutting geometry was a kind of an optimization technique because a circle is an efficient way to create a closed shape, and it minimized the time and cost of the computer controlled cutting.

Despite it isn’t uncommon for buiding owners in Thailand to add additional layers over existing surface to created patterned exteriors, but it would be an inspiration idea for them to modify their existing shop houses because these facades conceived is low cost and also the lightweight metal materials would be cut into panels or pieces, the circular holes would be exactly increast the building attraction and in order to block out heat and sun. These an alternative renovation strategy that the design team and building owners were satisfied with.

Ferrari Factory Store by Iosa Ghini Associates

Monday, December 27, 2010

This 370 square meter of Ferrari Factory Store which is characterized by a large glass gallery projecting visitors in the Ferrari world is designed by Iosa Ghini Associates. The Ferrari Factory Store architectural projects is located outside McArthur Glen Outlet in Serravalle Scrivia, Italy.

For the first time in the history of Ferrari Stores an entire building has been designed to accommodate the store. The building enjoys a privileged position as one of the first structures of the Outlet visible from the main parking area and access roads, for this reason it was designed with an exterior that immediately identifies it at ‘Ferrari space

The glass gallery is highly innovative with a curved face without mounting posts and bars that permit total visibility inward and outward. The curved glass panels are assembled using a frameless anchor system. Climate control of the glass gallery is effected by a system of air circulation that takes advantage of the motion of air convection, allowing for the passive cooling by natural induction. This natural system is supported by a forced air system that may be activated when climate conditions require it. In addition, the exterior glass envelope is treated with special UV protection films as well as a screen prints that reduces sun rays for energy savings as required by national standards for the sector.

Beyond the glass gallery there is the commercial space. As in all Ferrari Stores the merchandise areas are: the zone for Ferrari fans is designed with aluminium slats of high flexibility, in the luxury zone the display windows use soft materials, brushed leather and polished lacquer, in the children’s zone both systems are integrated : slats and display windows finished in yellow lacquer. A shaped false ceiling outlines the design of the ensemble and follows the path of visitors. The design of the areas is tightly connected to the design and graphic project specific to each Ferrari Store.

The graphic style is integral part of the project, in a personal vision of Iosa Ghini Associates of the architectural space, where the three dimensions meet to obtain an encompassing area able to capture all senses, to transmit an engaging idea through a physical and iconographic interpretation.

Bendigo Bank New Headquarters by BVN Architecture + Gray Puksand

Bendigo Bank commissioned BVN Architecture and Gray Puksand to design the corporate new headquarters located in Bendigo, Victoria to house over 1,000 staff. The brief for the building and integrated fitout coalesces 5 current locations into one central facility. As the site is located centrally in Bendigo in a heritage precinct we developed a new masterplan to integrate the building into the existing context. In keeping with The Banks community values, a new series of lanes cross the site and connect the Bath Lane community into the development.

Public interaction is encouraged with retail facilities at ground level and extensive public spaces, including a new public square giving the building a new address to the mall precinct. A board walk has been developed along the existing creek edge. The timber board walk links the traditional rear elevation of surrounding buildings to provide a large public connection for the bath lane community.

In the development of the project a strong emphasis has been placed on creating a workplace to support the culture and aspirations of The Bank. The building has been designed as a low rise campus, creating large floor plates connected by atriums that flood the interior work environment in natural light.

The buildings exterior has been designed to respond to the individual orientation of each façade. The major façade to the west is adorned with coloured perforated aluminium sunscreens. The sunscreens reduce the harsh western sun and provide a visually stimulating reading of the building. The palate of colours represents the reds of the existing Bendigo brick buildings transitioning to the greens of the park opposite. A saw tooth roof is orientated to the north and maximises the internal daylight while providing a dynamic form to the buildings skyline.

Dalki Theme Park and Shop in Korea by Slade Architecture

The Dalki Theme Park and Shop is 12,000 square feet of retail and entertainment space in Heyri, South Korea. The Ssamzie Corporation of Korea hired Cho Slade Architecture in collaboration with Ga.A Architects and Mass Studies to design a flagship building for their Dalki product line. This beautiful architectural design project was awarded a 50th anniversary Progressive Architecture (PA) Award Citation this year and is under construction.

Dalki is a brand developed around a cartoon character created specifically as a marketing tool. It is similar to the Hello Kitty brand in Japan. The main character is Dalki, which means strawberry in Korean. She lives in a fruit patch with her friends; all of whom are also characterized by vegetable and fruit qualities.

From Architects :

The client asked us to design a theme park where children can play in a giant garden atmosphere defined by scale changes and an emphasis on nature. Their requirements include several specific program areas: the out door garden area with natural gardening activities and giant artificial fruits and vegetables, a giant house interior (Dalki’s house) with enlarged furniture and appliances, a theater and several rooms for interactive exhibits. Additional requirements include a retail store, restaurant, performance, and multifunctional spaces.

The idea of play and the blurring of real and artificial boundaries is the starting point for the organization of the building. We want a space where the distinctions between the different program areas are blurred, where the adult distinctions between work and play do not apply. We started by raising the building and dividing it vertically into three areas: the giant artificial garden at ground level (below the raised building), the main building interior and a roof garden with gardening activities and a petting zoo. Taking advantage of the raised ground level of the outer road, we used the Dalki house program as a ramped link between the three levels. This ramp connects all of the levels with interior and or exterior ramps.

Additional links allow users to move vertically between the three zones; an outdoor slide connects to roof to the lower ground level and the interior of the shop connects the main floor to the lower ground level as well.

DIVINATIO and residential sales center – looks simple and is built from brick steel core around which glass bay windows and a terrace are hung. A wonderful evening with delicious dining and comfortable control. Were friendly and warm welcome. Received direct attention to one but not intrusive or formally. Stayed up all night so. The food was very good. From the amuse to the dessert really welcome. The starter in both fish and duck (main dish) were very prepared and had a delicious natural taste. Dessert fine too. A real must is a star and we expect to tent.
