-EXTERIOR DESIGN- Exterior render plays a crucial role in protecting and enhancing the appearance of buildings. Made from a mixture of cement, sand, and water, it acts as a barrier against the elements, improving thermal performance and offering a diverse range of aesthetic possibilities. With easy maintenance, it can last for years, making it a popular choice for residential and commercial properties. #architecture #design #interiordesign #art #architecturephotography

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁 To help turn architectural projects into reality by studying the best implementation solutions: this is one of the key tasks of the Technical Unit. Such is the case with the Palazzo Senza Tempo, in the historic center of Peccioli (Tuscany), conceived with the purpose of revitalizing a remarkable area within the town's historical core, dedicated to cultural activities and community services. This vision is realized through the redevelopment and restoration of 15th-century buildings, complemented by the addition of a 20-meter iconic cantilevered terrace, projecting onto the landscape beyond. Serving as a bridge between the city and the countryside, the terrace becomes a dynamic public square, ideal to host various events and gatherings. From a construction standpoint, the project faced a dual challenge: executing the substantial 20-meter cantilever and achieving a structurally slim design to create a public space beneath the terrace with a double volume, embracing the countryside. To address this challenge, a predominantly steel structure was implemented, substantially reducing thickness while ensuring a balance of solidity and lightness. This was accomplished through a sequence of steel profiles seamlessly integrated throughout the square’s deck, ensuring a cohesive and structurally sound foundation. The collaborative efforts of technicians and designers have given rise to a new contemporary landmark in the town of Peccioli, interacting with its historical heritage. The decision to leave the structure exposed underneath, without the addition of a false ceiling, further enhances the project's authenticity and architectural finesse.

Kalbod Design Studio Aston Martin London Headquarter Principal Architect : Mohamad Rahimizadeh Architect : Mohamad Ramezankhani Interior Design : Ziba Baghban Visual : Ziba Baghban - Melika khalesi R&D : Pegah Samei - Pardis Ahmadi Description of Aston Martin Headquarters as three “things” places it in a relational object framework. Objects in this relation come into contact, intertwine, and perhaps even participate in a spiral movement, but their identities remain independent. In this project, the distinct positions of the museum, laboratories, and administrative spaces create a non-hierarchical relationship. Objects come into contact with each other, but their boundaries are not blurred and resist reduction by any signifying effort. The mysterious presence of a black object is another central theme in the headquarters’ design. This mysterious element embodies an insatiable desire that seems to gather the surrounding world into its dark depths. This darkness is not merely a force of erasure but acts as an intermediary space, creating a stark contrast between light and shadow that evokes the complexities within. Aston Martin Headquarters is an experiment in constructing an architectural object not through unified and coherent narratives but through the interaction of independent elements placed in a network of part-to-part relationships. #astonmartin #kalbodstudio

When high-tech materials are combined with avant-garde design, the result is a futuristic outdoor architectural installation. The highly reflective glass fiber reinforced plastic or composite material shell is a perfect example of the dialog between technology and nature, a perfect combination of modern architecture and idyllic landscapes. It is not just an outdoor architectural sculpture, it is a lifestyle symbol. Its streamlined appearance not only makes it a focal point in any environment, but also provides excellent functionality, making it suitable for future living spaces, avant-garde restaurants, or high-end exhibition spaces that appeal to clients seeking individuality and innovation. #futuristic architecture #fiberglass shell #high-tech design #high-end modern architecture #avant-garde exhibition space #nature meets technology #high-end lifestyle

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 I am thrilled to share that my article, "A Reflection on the Interior Plan of Social Housing through Dutch Expressionist Architecture: 'Het Schip' by Michel de Klerk," has been published in the Digital International Journal of Architecture, Art & Heritage (JAH)(2024, Vol. 3, Issue 2, pp. 1-19). In this piece, I explore the profound impact of Dutch expressionist architecture on social housing, with a detailed analysis of Michel de Klerk’s masterpiece, Het Schip. This work delves into how de Klerk’s unique architectural style not only provided high-quality living spaces for the working class but also enhanced their overall well-being through thoughtful interior and exterior designs. 🔍 Key topics include: - The significance of artistic principles in social housing design - The influence of the Amsterdam School on interior plans - The transformation of urban living conditions in early 20th century Netherlands I invite you to read the full article and join the conversation on how architecture can shape and improve our living environments.

Creating a flexible work environment promoting movement was a central component of FIGR.’s design. This was achieved using Aluminium brick tiles to create a series of internal streets to define the flexible work spaces , which are positioned on the external perimeter so everyone gets views to the sky and external context: “We’ve established these internal laneways and streets, so they become zones that allow for flexible working arrangements where people can plug and play ... and the Aluminium brick tiles making it look soft and inviting; especially where there’s no direct light on these materials, we always look to use a more natural material and tone."

As focus within building design shifts towards the impact of the internal environment on its occupants, increased attention has been paid to the architectural benefits of louvres. Although able to serve a range of purposes, the main aim of an architectural louvre is to allow the movement of air into a building, while prohibiting the entry of obtrusive water and debris.   Architectural louvres are a specified design choice by many architects and developers due to their support of a building’s integrity and aesthetic enhancement. Beyond ventilation, architectural louvres also provide solar shading and help to reduce solar gain on building facades – further improving the interior environment for occupants.   With extensive expertise in the manufacture, installation and maintenance of louvres, Greenwood Louvre’s market-leading product range can assist architects and building contractors to ensure the louvre looks good, performs well and is practical to install and maintain. The Greenwood Louvre range provides access to an array of architectural louvre, acoustic louvre and solar shades to enhance the internal environment and external appearance of a building. In addition to the standard product portfolio, Greenwood Louvre’s technical team can support industry partners in the following elements of detailed design: ➡ Metallic, painted and plastic finishes ➡ Fixing Techniques ➡ Solar shades and bioclimatic pergolas ➡ Weathering guards and the restriction of insect ingress ➡ Acoustic screening and dampers #architecturallouvres #solarshading #buildingfacades #acousticlouvres #louvers  #brisesoleil #greenwoodlouvre
