Haines House / Foomann Architects

Haines Street, the family home of Foomann director Jamie, has evolved with his growing family while being respectful of its 1970s origins. Jamie first renovated the house in 2013 to update the fences, gardens, and interior, consolidating rooms to create larger, more functional, and lighter spaces. Now with two young children, Jamie has added another level, accommodating a third bedroom, second bathroom, and rooftop deck, allowing the family to stay in the house long-term. As a student, Jamie worked for Mike Morris, a director of Morris Pirrotta Architects, who designed the original North Melbourne house in 1970. In this way, the alteration feels collaborative despite the half-century, as Foomann approaches architecture in a similar modernist spirit.

UNA VOZ, UNA IMAGEN Exposition / SOLAR

The exhibition ‘ONE VOICE / ONE IMAGE’ was born out of a desire to explore different ways of analyzing images of our time — “like two dimensions, between presence and representation,” in the words of the curator, Maria Virginia Jaua.

The commercial building, constructed in 1978, is located in the municipality of Zollikon on the shore of Lake Zurich. It is flanked by the Seestrasse to the west and the railway tracks to the east. The building, which dates from the late 1970s, is being renovated and a full story is added to the overall volume. In addition, two stories inside the building will be converted into a kindergarten as part of the renovation.
