June 1, 2021 Camilla Ghisleni 0

The idea of integration between art and architecture dates back to the very origin of the discipline, however, it took on a new meaning and social purpose during the Avant-Garde movement of the early twentieth century, becoming one of the most defining characteristics of Modernism. This close relationship is evident in the works of some of the greatest modern architects, such as Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, and Oscar Niemeyer, to name a few.

“Every Home has a Story”: Takashi Yanai on Residential Design and California Modernism

June 1, 2021 Eric Baldwin 0

Residential design is the most personal architecture. Whether reflecting the lifestyle or character of those who live there, or accommodating space for guests and gathering, homes reflect who we are. This holds especially true for Takashi Yanai, a Partner at Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architects that has led the Residential Studio since 2004. With ties to landscape design and a “California Modernist” ethos, Takashi’s work also reinterprets Japanese elements and explores what residential design means today.

June 1, 2021 Pilar Caballero 0

The new Johann Jacobs House enjoys an inevitable presence in the cityscape. Its position in the urban layout grants it a triple view of its surroundings: the volume is set back on all three sides towards the upper part, in relation to the different eaves of the neighboring historical buildings. Its urban specificity and autonomy are attributed to its plasticity and façade rhythm, subtly mimicking typical Hanseatic architectural elements such as the stepped gable wall.

House 430/3 is located in the village of Moira in north Goa. Built between 2015 and 2019, the residence was designed by Nikhil Padgaonkar for himself, his wife and their young son. Situated at one end of a hill, with a panoramic view of the 380-year-old Church of Moira and fields beyond, the sloping site offered the possibility of developing several terraces on which to site various components of the program: the main house -a cuboid structure- sits at the highest level, while the lap pool, offices and garage have been assigned to the second level.
