The Unique House for Two Artists in Mexico by M + N Arquitectos

 The Unique House for Two Artists in Mexico by M + N Arquitectos

This unique house is built for two artists. Located in Puebla, Mexico, it is completed by M + N Arquitectos in 2010. The house design consists of two volumes: one for daily activity and the other for work. Two volumes are connected by a glass bridge, with wonky windows. There are two different materials, which construct the house. A concrete covers the main bedroom of the house, directed to the south. A brick covers the office room, directed to the north. Surrounded by amazing views of the city and surrounding landscape, the concrete house has concrete-framed windows, which are angled towards specific views. The windows are also conceived as distinctive architectural elements identifying unique aspects of the home. The house has the public areas, containing a dining room, kitchen, living room and hallway, which is as a library lending to dual function and form. Incorporating the house design entirely, the floor is finished in polished cement.

The Renovation of Pacific Place in Hong Kong by Thomas Heatherwick

 The Renovation of Pacific Place in Hong Kong by Thomas Heatherwick

Pacific Place is a complex of office towers, hotels and a shopping centre located in Hong Kong. It becomes as a premier shopping destination in Hong Kong. Renovated by British designer Thomas Heatherwick , the building design features waves of stone ripple around the corners of a Hong Kong shopping centre. To carry out fluidity’s feeling, The Building uses an organic approach, such as natural forms and materials. Limestone and Bedonia stones are the materials establishing the renovation of the building. The building has flat skylights to replace the previous pyramid-shaped ones, so natural daylight is kept inside the building. The roof is transformed into a public terrace. The building has a new signage system around the building to help the visitors to look for the way. Photography is by designer Iwan Bann.
