SKI RESTAURANT

RADUSA BY 3LHD ARCHITECTS

LOCATION: BOSNIA AND HERZAGOVINA YEAR: 2013 08

PROJECTS / Architecture

Mountain ski restaurant Raduša is located at the top of the beautiful Raduša mountain range in central Bosnia, at an altitude of 1720 meters. Conceptually, it is based on the idea of a mountain pavilion - viewpoint, located at the ski resort, in the middle of the green hills overlooking the valley. The irregular shape of the building was formed by reinterpretation of the terrain. Its’ gentle sloping roof allows topographic integration and blends the structure into the surrounding landscape. The fractured surface of the roof rises and returns into the terrain, and the restaurant facilities are neatly tucked under it. The roof height adjusts to follow the facilities and contents thus contributing to the dynamics of the restaurant and bar.

PROJECTS / Architecture

Two terraces are located on opposite glass walls of the pavilion. The south, entry terrace allows outdoor aprĂ¨s-ski program, and the northern offers beautiful views of the surrounding Bosnian mountains and Uskoplje valley. Visitors can find a safe haven by the large fireplace within the single volume space, while enjoying the local food and scenery looking out through the large glass surfaces.

PROJECTS / Architecture

The complete interior and the furniture were designed and manufactured from local wood. The aim was to make an impression of warmth, typical for mountain houses, which are calling for a warm drink and relaxing by the crackling fire.

PROJECTS / Architecture

A positive circumstance was that the client/investor was also the main contractor, so the challenging steel structure panelled with 5mm thick steel sheets and all other construction materials were manufactured in local factories located in Uskoplje.

FALL HOUSE designed by FOUGERON

This three-bedroom home, on Big Surâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spectacular south coast, is anchored in the natural beauty and power of this California landscape. Our design strategy embeds the building within the land, creating a structure inseparable from its context. The site offers dramatic views: a 250-foot drop to the Pacific Ocean both along the bluff and the western exposure. Yet it demands a form more complex than a giant picture window.

“he house is cantilevered 12 feet back from the bluff, both to protect the cliff’s delicate ecosystem and to ensure the structure’s integrity and safety.” The long, thin volume conforms and deforms to the natural contours of the land and the geometries of the bluff, much like the banana slug native to the region’s seaside forests. In this way, the complex structural system applies and defies natural forms to accommodate the siting. The house is cantilevered 12 feet back from the bluff, both to protect the cliff’s delicate ecosystem and to ensure the structure’s integrity and safety. The interior is a shelter, a refuge in contrast with the roughness and immense scale of the ocean and cliff. The house also shields the southern outdoor spaces from the powerful winds that blow from the northwest.

The main body of the house is composed of two rectangular boxes connected by an allglass library/den. The main entry is located at the top of the upper volume with the living spaces unfolding from the most public to the most private. The living room kitchen and dining room are an open plan with subtle changes in levels and roof planes to differentiate the various functions. The lower volume, a double-cantilevered master bedroom suite, acts as a promontory above the ocean, offering breath-taking views from its floor-to-ceiling windows. The link between these two volumes is the glass library/den; it is the hearth of the house, a room that unites the house inside and out both with its geometry and its transparency.

Apartment at Rambla de Raval BY TRANSFODESIGN

We were hired by the real-estate agency Casc Antic to design and produce the furniture for one of their apartments. To meet the modern industrial look they asked for, we â&#x20AC;&#x153;transfodesignedâ&#x20AC;? reclaimed wood, discarded lamps and objects and old steel pipes.

metropolıs design by Giacomo Moor

“...Precious walnut wood volumes, framed in black-varnished iron reticular structures, evolve through space in increasingly different ways: they outline architectural shapes that, in addition to responding to specific demands, evoke archetypal metropolis skylines, crystallized over time and locked into the collective imagination. The geometrical strictness of the design matches, in a sort of delicate balance, with the warm materialness of walnut wood, in a rather intense synthesis that emphasizes the significance of wood and its handcrafted manufacturing.”

ghostly structures by

â&#x20AC;&#x153;..Suh aims to generate a tangible

experience that would defy boundaries of the inhabitant and their interaction with the site, re-defining the notion of scale..â&#x20AC;? Graduated from Seoul National University with a master degree from Fine Arts in Oriental Painting, Suh moved to United States to study more at Rhode Island School of Design and Yale University. His travelling life, between his art and his family, led Suh to question social and cultural identities and reflections, involving both abstract and substantial migration.

The site-specific abstract structural works were displayed in Suhâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solo exhibitions that took place in many respected institutions and art galleries around the world. Addressing a metaphorical occupation of a space, inside a space, Suh aims to generate a tangible experience that would defy boundaries of the inhabitant and their interaction with the site, re-defining the notion of scale. Artist prefers a traditional Korean fabric, transparent polyester fabric, in order to not value the medium too much but to emphasize and highlight the work beneath it. Suhâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other works are also centered around his personal experiences and struggles that he face throughout his life, mainly about the culture and identity. He prefers his work not to be defined and perceived as a social criticism, but an observation, when he express his opinions in an interview with designboom.

“Maybe, my work has social criticism, once in a while… but it doesn’t come from any sort of rebellion. I’m a slow starter. I can’t be reactionary as fast as others. It takes some time for me to digest things and show my thoughts and opinions in my work. by the time I do that, it is not criticism any more…” Suh continues to put his signature under spectacular art installations that are beyond imagination, while still hopping from New York City to Seoul.
