House with Hooked Multi Level Crossing / ihrmk

Visible or not visible - This is a house for a couple and their children on a corner of a residential zone in Miyoshi City, Aichi. The front road of the house is used by the people of the community as a space where neighbors enjoy their daily chat and children’s playground. The adjacent plot is a parking space for the neighboring apartment building. Considering the environment surrounding the house where one could constantly feel the presence of someone or being watched, we usually close ourselves inside the house. Instead, we tried to create a house with a hook-shaped open space that crosses laterally and vertically to form visible and invisible surfaces, where we could keep an adequate distance and connection with the surroundings.

Laizhou Bar / RooMoo Design Studio

Behind every beautiful product, there is always an aesthetically pleasing production process. The aesthetic trend in production extends not only to the beauty of products but also to the beauty of the production environment and the products themself. Bacchus has always adhered to the green production concept of "born from nature, walking with nature" based on having one of the few global whiskey distilleries with both pot and continuous column stills. At present, as China's most extensive whiskey distillery, it has become the first group company in China to practice the green concept of net zero emissions and take carbon neutrality as its long-term goal. Therefore, the beauty of production naturally became the design inspiration for their first flagship whiskey bar in Shanghai.

Craven Road Cottage / Ania Moryoussef Architect (AMA)

The complete transformation of this unassuming single-story worker’s cottage in Toronto’s historic "Tiny Town" turned a run-down house into a luminous and ethereal pandemic refuge. The client, Laurel Hutchison, is a retired schoolteacher living on a fixed income, with a budget earmarked for basic renovations to rescue her 112-year-old home from disrepair. The result is a 720 sqft, delicately proportioned, light-filled home, built on its original foundations while re-envisioning every other aspect of the worker’s cottage vernacular – a turn-of-the-century housing typology that has almost completely disappeared from the city.
