The Factory Lofts / Hacin

The Factory Lofts is located at 46, 56, and 76 Wareham Street in Boston’s South End. Built circa 1870, the original, three-story structure was owned and operated by the New England Organ Company. The warehouse building was designated for organ production. “The Factory” is an homage to the purpose of the original structure, breathing renewed life into the site’s industrial heritage.

Four Buildings in Avenida Brasil / Aurora Arquitectos + Furo

The site and the great height difference between the street fronts were the generating principles to create four volumes of semi-detached houses. Each of the eight houses is organized into three levels, with the middle level being the social floor. Conceptually, this floor is an open plan divided by functional volumes that house the kitchen, a bathroom, or a closet. The façade is completely glazed. The fluidity of the plan and the transparency of the façade are combined to give the perception of continuity between the interior floor and the landscaped exterior surface that covers the garage and is at the same level as this floor.

House JC / Bakermat atelier voor architectuur

The ground floor of this typical Flemish townhouse consists of an entrance hall, and garage with an adjoining room furnished as an artist's studio. The house had a typical extension with a kitchen, bathroom, and toilet. The degraded condition of this cramped extension became a strong argument for tearing it down. Instead, a new extension over the entire width of the main volume offers space for a dining room and kitchen. The artistic residents desired a strong graphic design for the expansion. Their dream was an extension with a reflection of their personality: colorful, graphic, dynamic, and daring.

Villa Meisenweg / Urben Seyboth Architekten

The plot is located on the edge of the settlement with transition to agricultural green areas, isolated industrial facilities, and highways. The compact volume of the house appears closed to the street.  The asymmetrical gable roof acts as a borrowing from the traditional residential houses in the immediate vicinity.
