Lanoma Residence / Licht Architecture

April 5, 2024 Valeria Silva 0

Located in East Launceston, Tasmania, sits a Federation house built in 1914; it is home to a family of three. The home had lovely character and charm, but the interiors were internalized and lacked a connection to the backyard. The design approach removes a tired lean-to, making way for a new kitchen/dining extension that focuses out onto a new courtyard and backyard beyond. The internal floor plan has been rationalized to simplify movement through the home and to incorporate an ensuite and laundry within the existing footprint.

JingLong Elementary School / Atelier FCJZ

The Challenge. The density of cities today is much higher than it used to be and is still increasing. What are the main differences between a primary school in a high-density environment and one in a low-density environment in the past? As density increases, the height of the school building inevitably increases, which means the opportunities for students to go down to the outdoor space on the ground level are correspondingly reduced. Outdoor activities are critical to the development of children, and we focused on solving this problem when designing the school building.

Renovation of Wuyuanwan Subway Station / ATENO

March 29, 2024 Valeria Silva 0

The theatrical nature of the space. Subway station is an important spatial node of the city. People transition through underground and surface spaces, traveling from home to work, social places, and consumer spaces. The beginning and end of urbanites’ days are connected to this place, serving as the optimal link between starting point and destination. This link is like a theater, where stories are constantly unfolding.

Narrative definition of space. We define this space not only as a transitional transportation node but also imbue it with narrative and richer expressions. Apart from carrying local expressions, there are also different connections and collisions between people and scenes, resulting in new stories and new cultures.
