The building was originally an imposing eclectic-style town house with a large Expo 58-style extension. Each of these buildings has an inherent quality, but the two entities do not communicate with each other and lack natural light. The project aims to bring these elements together while making the most of what already exists. To bring more light into the centre of the house and to meet the need for a new central circulation, the architectural intention is one of subtraction. The result is an atrium with a staircase at the centre of the house, offering a spatial perception that extends far beyond the actual surface available. Continue reading Mamout Architects

This rear backyard house is built with materials reused from the dismanteling of the warehouse that was on the plot (brick, steel structures, floorplates … ). The dwelling extends over a length of 22 meters. A series of walls, repetitively punctured, define the various spaces. The house is a succession of rooms divided by two patios. The central double-height space contains the vertical circulation of the house. The materiality of the project arises from the difficulty of accessing the construction site with particular attention to the reuse of materials on-site and off-site (e.g., marble and glazed brick: ROTOR), as well as the use of natural materials such as insulation and coatings.

The proposal aims to create a light structure on the site, a unifying shell, extending to the perimeter of the plot and above the existing railway station. The greenhouse that envelops the site is both a protection for the ruins of the station, but also a flexible infrastructure for the placement of new programmes, gardens, passages and climate-controlled spaces. The proposal foresees an open development of the vineyard, which can be adapted and transformed over time. Based on a 9 x 9 metre module, the structure uses standard building materials such as glass, concrete, steel, corrugated metal and plastic. Continue reading Arrhov Frick . Mamout
