Art Collector’s Residence by Palette Architecture

Art Collector’s Residence is a project designed by Palette Architecture. Located in the heart of Kips Bay, New York City, the Art Collector’s Residence is a remarkable architectural project that seamlessly combines the distinctive features of two eccentric apartments into one cohesive whole. The merger of these spaces presented physical and social challenges, as the residence spans two different buildings, each with its own unique history and dimensions. Designed to cater to the needs of a modern family, this extraordinary home carefully accommodates a couple of art connoisseurs while gracefully adapting to the ever-changing dynamics of family life and the demands of remote work. The result is a thoughtfully crafted dwelling that marries contemporary living, work, and play within an intricately designed architectural framework, making the Art Collector’s Residence a truly exceptional and one-of-a-kind home.

inward nature by Metre Architects

inward nature is a project designed by Metre Architects. As a semi-detached dwelling on a plot of more than 6,000 square-feet, the original house had been designed to maximise its interior floor area, resulting in light wells of minimal dimensions. The greatest design challenges lie therefore in animating the expansive interiors, and to evoke a sense of poetics especially for the dimmer spaces on the first storey.

DLF Camellias by Essentia Environments

Camellias is a weekend home to a 30-year-old bachelorette to entertain guests. Designed and executed by Essentia Environments, the overall design of this apartment is guided by the views of the surroundings in every direction—the vast Golf greens, the Lake at close proximity, and the Aravallis beyond. This approach gets enhanced by the tall ceilings, large glass windows, open layout, and essentially minimal palette of materials and colours.

Open plan mid-century house by AGORA architecture + design

This mid-century terraced house designed by AGORA architecture + design is located in the quiet suburban area of Corstorphine, Edinburgh. A previous front extension had resulted in a long narrow kitchen, separated from the living room and the back garden. The fragmented layout meant that the family were often in separate rooms: cooking, doing homework, watching TV. Our brief was to create a layout that would allow the family to be together more, and to bring the kitchen to the heart of the home. Photography by Alix Macintosh.

Downtown Loft by Bushman Dreyfus Architects

Downtown Loft is a project designed by Bushman Dreyfus Architects. Light is the theme of this minimal and modern intervention. The oldest building on the downtown pedestrian mall in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA, contains this minimal and modern renovation. The c.1843 three-story structure was badly in need of refurbishment — portions of the framing, roof, insulation, windows, mechanical systems, electrical and plumbing were all replaced and renewed so this building is set for service for another century or more.
