Naust Paa Aure by TYIN Tegnestue

A project based on tradition and sense of place


Strips of glazing wrap around this Timber 
water side house in Aure, Norway. 
The building is made up from materials 
salvaged from a dilapidated boat house
on the house and new grey patinated pine
(created using norwegian pine and impregnating 
it with a by-product from the sugar cane industry, 
which will give grey 
patina.)












Flaps in the side can be opened up to link
the interior to the outside deck.
The simplicity of its shape
is enhanced by the seamless materiality.
Windows from the clients farmhouse were 
also reused.

 Fogo Islands_Saunders Architects
 
Norway based studio designed a series of 6 artist
studios in various locations on the Fogo Islands in Canada.
Measuring 120m2 the design of the "long studio" represents
transitions of the seasons "the entrance of the structure consists
of an open but covered space which represents the spring and the beginning of the seasonal activity. the single stretch of whitewashed patio space leads to an exposed central area which encourages outdoor habitation during the summer days. the final and main body of the studio is a fully enclosed space that looks out towards the sea. large windows at either end and a skylight provides natural light to flood the interior. a one meter thick wall located on the south side houses storage, toilets and washbasins, with doors that are flush to the wall, minimizing any visual distraction within the space.

CARMODY GROARKE_UNDERGROUND SPA
Location: Limerick, Ireland
A place for excercise and relaxation beneath the
19th Century mansion.
Materiality: A sculptural mix of stone water and plaster.
 
 
"A space to be discovered underground, and of entirely different character to the house above."







THE BLACK LODGE

Designed by Stockholm architects Jagnefalt Milton

The Black Lodges will be made up of wooden walls that fold open so that guests can become exposed to the elements as much or as little as they prefer.
 Constructed from pine, sourced from the surrounding woodland.
The only furniture besides a stool, is a wooden board that can act both as a table, a bench and a bed. All four walls can be opened into the grass creating more of a camp fire situation where you can watch the stars and moon through the oculus.
The architects were able to push the simplicity of the project knowing they had the amenities of the neighbouring luxury hotel situated in an old quarry

The Moses Bridge
RO&AD ARchitecten-The Netherlands
Made from Acoya wood
waterproofed with EPDM foil
"It is, of course, highly improper to build bridges across the moats of defense works, especially on the side of the fortress the enemy was expected to appear on. That’s why we designed an invisible bridge."
