Art Radiators by Karim Rashid

The notion is simple enough: make a fundamental feature of residential infrastructure an artistic adornment as well. It sort of reminds me of the old “function is form” credo, though in this case the form comes first and the function is cleverly, seamlessly integrated within.

S_Mahal

The land purchased in Daesim-ri, Yangpyeong was a place where water, a rice paddy, a forest and livestock stables were intermingled. Despite a budget that was on the tight side, I was able to create seven inner courts including one for every room plus one in the center, while designing a circulatory balcony where there was sufficient space for the house owner and his cats and dogs to roam about freely. In order to create a boundary between the circulatory balcony with the outside, I initially considered hard and cold finishing materials. Due to the low budget, however, we had to improvise and finally opted for a finish with curtains made from waterproof cloth. The waving of the soft walls on a breezy day made it clear to me: the house is truly alive. When I walked around inside the house, the soft walls reacting to my body brought me exquisite feelings.

ph4

located in tijuana, méxico, ph4 house’s main objective is to create a balance between privacy and openness, the project was mainly developed from two constraints. the first one is that the house will be inhabited by an elderly couple, so most of the program is on the first floor, a long glass and concrete box which breaks in the transition between the public and private space. Superimposed is a solid volume which fragments itself in the opposite direction as the one below, ending in a 7 meter cantilever. the second is the site, a triangle in which only 10 meters are facing the street, the rest of the perimeter is adjacent to other houses. it was decided to set the main volume on the center of the site, thus creating connections between interior and exterior along the succession of programatic spaces. Project Architects: T38 studio + Pablo Casals-Aguirre Team: Alfonso Medina, Pablo Casals-Aguirre, Mauricio Kuri, Oscar González Collaborators: Lucía Arroyo, Alina Castañeda y Adriana Medina.
