HH House / Flat6 architects + aestudiooo

One of the recurring questions, when we design narrowed tube houses in the urban context, is: How to create spaces that facilitate interactions and communications between family members?

Tandorosti Bridge / Katoum Architecture Studio

Tandorosti is a bridge for pedestrians and cyclists over one of the major motorways (Sheikh-Fazlollah-Nuri) in Tehran, Iran. Consisted of a 180-meter-long bridge and a 90-meter-long ramp, Tandorosti extends a linear park (Bagh-Rahe-e Hemmat) on one side of the motorway and connects it to a local park and a major roundabout on the other side (Fadak Park, sanat square) and creates a 4km walkway. The bridge characterizes a new approach in Tehran city planning: to reunite the neighborhood split apart by transport infrastructure. The approach aims to break through the vehicle infrastructure imprisoning isolated communities and promote green modes of transport in one of the most polluted metropolitan areas across the globe. So does the Tandorosti bridge.

HK Residence / Dhanie & Sal

In the middle of a busy sprawl in Southern Jakarta, HK Residence lies on a narrow yet long plot of land. Formed as a series of introverted boxes, its exterior is adorned with textured plaster that is left unfinished, mindful of the changes that time will bring. In contrast, the interior is clad with white, instilling a sense of calmness into the house. 

Eagle + West (Greenpoint Landing Block D) / OMA / Jason Long

Greenpoint lies at the northernmost tip of Brooklyn where Newtown Creek meets the East River. The neighborhood—sometimes called “Little Poland”—has historically consisted of low-rise townhouses with industry at its waterfront edges. The industrial border, which included shipbuilding, rope-making, and more toxic activities such as petroleum refinement, cut the neighborhood off from the East River.
