Cella Bar by FCC Arquitectura

November 15, 2015

Based by the western coast of the island of Pico, in the Portuguese Azores, FFC Arquitectura were charged with the transformation and expansion of the ‘Cella Bar’. While preserving the distinct features of the existing building, the extension saw a contemporary addition being merged with the original building. This juxtaposition has introduced a sculptural language into the local context. The organic and orthogonal form uses basalt (volcanic rock of the region), concrete and the exterior presents a woven timber texture. As well as sourcing local materials, the design of the scheme references the outline of the island, the rocks, whales and wine casks.

Fairyland Guorui Villas by UNStudio

September 26, 2015

The Fairyland Guorui Villa complex is situated on a plot where two rivers converge, surrounded by natural scenery and mountain views. Essential to the design approach for the villa development is the combination of individuality with a distinct quality of community.

The facades of the villas are designed to create a strong inside/outside condition. In order to achieve this different ‘sets’ of integrated features, including balconies, bay windows, canopies or terraces and roof-top gardens are used. The facade cladding is made from recycled stone produced from powdered stone applied to the facade in contemporary fashion.
