BSP Security Plant Complex

Bsp Security Plant Complex is a proposed public building planned for New Clark City, Philippines. The complex offers a highly secure, flexible and adaptable floor area that can be adjusted as production technology improves. A living facade presents more than 250 endemic Philippine trees together with tropical plants. The planted facade shields the building from direct sun, reduces thermal heat gain and supports air ventilation. Water moats and sloping towers recall the mountainous tropical archipelago and its biodiversity.

Inside, the house is defined by two courtyards, one large and the other small, that are arranged in parallel. The main courtyard is on the south side and features a bamboo grove that draws the eye when one steps into the entryway. A smaller slit-shaped courtyard on the north side is also dotted with plantings and serves as a lightwell, filling the first-floor living room and entryway as well as a second living room upstairs with pleasant, diffuse light.

Iceland Volcano

Iceland Volcano is a museum located in the Myvatn region of Iceland. The circular form is inspired by the volcanic craters, hot springs and lakes of the area. An elliptical volume and two intersecting slopes create a continuous space that links indoor and outdoor areas. Three ring paths are offered: an interior gallery, a walkable roof used as an observation deck, and an outdoor park loop trail with large-scale sculptures. A reflecting pool sits at the centre. The facade is formed by louvers whose orientation varies to control sunlight.

Villa Bianca

The project consists of partial reconstruction and complete visual transformation of an existing house built in pseudo-traditional style. The main idea has been to achieve the exactly opposite effect: to have a contrasting, memorable, minimalistic and contemporary architecture. The biggest challenge of the project has been to reduce the cluster of geometries and to emphasize the constructive principle of the building by making some spatial and organizational improvements of the interior.

Kohan Ceram Central Office Building

Kohan Ceram Central Office Building is the headquarters of a brick manufacturing company in Tehran. The building contains a showroom, a sales office and a guest unit. A special brick block was developed for the project, combining industrial brick with cast glass. Each block is 19 centimetres thick and holds a thermal insulation layer between two brick layers. The block serves as masonry, finish and insulation at the same time. The same block forms the exterior facade and shapes the interior spaces, bringing daylight inside while protecting privacy.

Memories of Water

Memories of Water is an exhibition gallery located on the shoreline in Qingdao, China. The building offers panoramic views of the ocean within an urban setting. A curtain wall system with steel fins is used on the first floor to minimize the structure. On the second floor, ultra-transparent glass is installed without fins or frames, so the boundary between indoor and outdoor space is reduced. A cantilever structure creates a floating effect. A water landscape surrounds the building and eases the transition from the city to nature. The gross built area is 1800 square meters.
