It then can become soft, smooth, velvet or sandy following the chosen technique. Concrete is molded in shapes. It can receive a structural reinforcement made of a metallic structure or fibers.

Location: Los Cerrillos, Chile, Architects: Cruz-Mandiola, elton_léniz, Artists: Fernando Prats, Ámbito Cero, Photographs: Cristóbal Palma / Estudio Palma

The façade is a 3.8 meter high concrete wall, shielding the porch that are purposively hidden at first sight to trigger interests and curiosities.

ARCHITECTURE PROJECT

Location: El Priorato, Spain, Architects: GMO Arquitectura, Photographs: Del Rio Bani

The “Mas” is located in Priorat, an area of volcanic origin, a region with a rough and wild appearance, with landscapes of impressive luminosity. The building, settled in this same environment, retains the essence of the region; the silence and tranquility with maximum respect for the pre-existing construction and in close contact with the environment.

G House

ARCHITECTURE PROJECT

Location: Tel Aviv, Israel, Architects: Axelrod Architects, Pitsou Kedem Architect, Photographs: Amit Geron

Appearing to effortlessly float above the ground, the G House advances the firm’s residential design beyond a purely minimalist approach. The G House is horizontally expressed but uses vertical space and light in surprising ways. The simply shaped residence on a small half of a dunam lot is organized along a horizontal framework which contains two living levels and a basement. The main level features copious glazing which opens to a private yard and pool; it is the entire wall of glass that creates the illusion of a floating building. The roof itself hovers above the house, separated by a slim glass window line.
