The Elbphilharmonie Hamburg (@elbphilharmonie) in Germany is designed by Herzog & de Meuron (@herzogdemeuron), a mixed-use project that houses a concert hall for an audience of 2,100, and a Westin hotel. Integrated into the latter are outward-facing bathrooms, something hotel designer Tassilo Bost deliberately introduced in response to how travellers increasingly want to spend quality me-time while having a visual connection to where they are. Complementing this experience are products from the Architectura and Loop & Friends collections from Villeroy & Boch (@villeroyboch), which blend in with their modern and timeless appeal. . . . #designandarchitecturemagrecommends #designandarchitecturemag #design #archilovers #designers #architecturemag #igdesign #bathroomdesign #villeroyboch #bathroomfittings #contemporarydesign
Varying volumetric proportions crafted from raw concrete make up this six-bedroom house in Lucknow, India, designed by Sanjay Puri Architects (@sanjay_puri_architects). It takes its cues from the traditional Indian courtyard house and responds to the intense summer heat of the location. As a result, there are sheltered open terraces and landscaped gardens around a courtyard. Patterned screens break up the monotony of the solid facade, derived from traditional Indian architecture and the famous Lucknow chikan embroidery sheath. They offer shelter from the sun, creating different light patterns throughout the day and mitigate traffic noise from the busy arterial road on the southern side of the plot.

ISSUE 112 | “Most children enjoy running around in circles.” This is what Japanese architect Takaharu Tezuka shared, when interviewed about what motivated his design for Muku Nursery in Shizuoka, Japan. The outcome is what you see on the cover of this issue, a cluster of buildings each with a circular footprint. It reflects his practice of always asking how a project is going to enhance the lives of those who use it, before he starts designing it. . Tezuka’s approach to architecture is reflective of a larger trend that is less of the “me”, and more of the “we”. It was most noticeable at the Kuala Lumpur Architecture Festival 2019’s conference, DATUM:KL, held in July. Across three days, speakers from all over the world repeated themes about the importance of complementing nature, the shying away from designing edifices, and a deep-seated respect for the community, locality and placemaking. . Elsewhere in this issue, we showcase two adaptive reuse projects. The Temasek Shophouse is made up of five three-storey conservation shophouses in Singapore that date back to 1928 and have been successfully refurbished by Surbana Jurong Consultants. Kaomai Estate 1955 is a project in Chiang Mai, Thailand that used to be a tobacco processing estate. . Look out too for the curvaceous and dramatic Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre by RSP Architects, located in Kuala Lumpur. On a smaller scale (but no less short on drama either) is the Marquee nightclub and Avenue cocktail lounge by ICRAVE in Marina Bay Sands Singapore. Occupying what was formerly a three-storey theatre with a 21m ceiling height, both venues are designed as contrasts of each other and complete sensorial experiences. . . . #designandarchitecture #designandarchitecturemag #sgdesign #architecture #archilovers #designinspo #sgarchitecture #architectprojects #archdesign #mukunursery #takaharutezuka #tezukaarchitects #klaf2019 #klaf #klarchitecture #datumkl #temasakshophouse #kaomaiestate #kaomaiestate1955 #rsparchitects #marqueesingapore #icraveny @klaf.2019 @temasekshophouse @kaomaiestate @mitec_my @marqueesingapore @icraveny
The @vitra Campus occupies a 25,000ha site in Weil Am Rhein, Germany. In addition to manufacturing facilities, it also has several museums, event spaces, an archive and even a slide. But more than anything, it is an architecture wonderland, with buildings designed by seven Pritzker Prize laureates, including ones by Renzo Piano, Frank Gehry, Tadao Ando and Zaha Hadid. . . . #designandarchitecture #designandarchitecturemag #designandarchitecturemagtravels #design #architectureporn #archilovers #designers #architecturemag #architecturelovers #igdesign #vitracampus #pritzkerprize #architecturemuseum #vitra #presstrip
AB Concept (@ab_concept) has collaborated with Hilton to design the new 324-room Raffles City Conrad Hotel (@conradhotels) in Hangzhou, China. Located near the Qiantang River, it takes its cue from the waterway known for its immense tidal bores, spelling out a narraitve that speak of tidal rhythms and how movement translates into a space. The designers eschewed traditional right angles and static shapes in favour of undulating curves, rounded surfaces and sleek forms. They were also influenced by the West Lake with its breathtaking scenery.
