Zhoushan Summer Hotel Phase II / MAT Office

June 30, 2024 Pilar Caballero 0

The Zhoushan Summer Hotel was completed five years ago. The strategy of adding balconies and changing the facades at that time changed the limitations of the original square-shaped houses in the area and brought a new sense of interior and exterior. As the Summer Hotel became more famous, this design strategy gradually evolved into a facade style in the following years. Almost all the newly built houses in the village had same white walls with square windows. The goal of reversing the villagers’ desire to build “European-style villas” through a simple facade effect was quickly achieved.

Log Cabin / Kastler/Skjeseth Architects AS MNAL

June 30, 2024 Hadir Al Koshta 0

The addition to a cabin in Nordmarka is an example of how a traditional log cabin can be given a new lease of life with added space and functions without the building’s older parts being demolished or the cabin’s footprint increasing. The building is an archetypal Norwegian cabin built with notched logs from right after the war – a classic cabin with classic problems.
