Darling Street DA Lodged. BMA has designed a new mixed-use development on Darling Street, Balmain. The proposal for this unique site complements the conservation significance of the immediate Darling Street context. The character of the scheme is contemporary in aesthetic although the proportions and rhythm of the building form are sympathetic of the predominantly Victorian period buildings nearby. A restrained palette and keen rhythm reflects the nature of these period facades and Darling Street context. The recessed upper storey reduces the perceived scale of the project with an activated retail frontage at ground and commercial office space above. Four (4) new apartments and associated communal open space are located at the upper storey. _ Architecture: Benson McCormack Architecture 3D Render: @thechambercreative Client: LARESU _ #australia #balmain #innerwest #sydney #retail #commerical #residential #architecture #design #development #mixeduse #mixedusedevelopment #residentialdevelopment #apartmentdesign #commercialrealestate #commercialdevelopment #retaildesign #brick #cladding #landscapearchitecture #3drender #photomontage #publicdomain #localproject #sydneyarchitects #bmarchitects #architectureanddesign

A great project to deliver.

Incredible symbol and proof of concept what can be achieved with the „new steel technology“ that was shown and applied in „Exposition Universelle of 1889“ in Paris with the Eiffel-Tower….

This rendering shows the South entrance of the boutique residential development we are working on in Lynwood Glen. The architecture speaks to the simplicity of form and the sophistication of space. The design, rooted in pragmatism, reveals the south entrances of the development, blending seamlessly into the landscaping of the site. The use of raw materials—concrete with its honest texture, perforated pre-cast breeze blocks, and timber cladding with its inherent warmth—articulates a narrative of resilience and timelessness. Each structure stands assertive yet unobtrusive, a testament to the site's natural topography and the subtle interplay between light and shadow. Our design philosophy embraces a minimalist approach, where every element is purposeful and precise, ensuring functionality without compromising visual impact. This development reflects our dedication to creating spaces that reflect their environment and are responsive to the needs of those who inhabit them. #KunzRaubenheimerArchitects #ThoughtfulDesign #ArchitecturalMinimalism

Bregenz, the capital of the Austrian state of Vorarlberg, is home to a unique architectural construction known as the "smallest house in Europe". At its narrowest point, this remarkable building measures just 57 centimetres! Built in the 18th century, the house originally served as a passageway between the streets of Kirchstraße and Römerstraße. It was later closed and used as a residence before being used for various other purposes, including as a shop. With its three storeys and traditional pitched roof, it is a good example of efficient use of space and medieval town planning. While the facade facing Kirchstraße is extremely narrow, the building widens towards the rear, reaching a width of around four metres at the back. Today, the charming structure is a listed building and a popular tourist attraction. The house adds a touch of nostalgia to the streets of Bregenz and demonstrates Austria's rich architectural heritage. A stroll through Kirchstraße is like travelling back in time. This tiny house reminds us that size does not always equate to grandeur, proving that even the smallest spaces can capture significant attention. #advantageaustria #didyouknow #smallesthouse #architecture

Why are barn conversions such a popular home choice nowadays? Here’s a few reasons why we love them; 1. They often boast an idyllic rural setting. 2. You can effortlessly combine traditional features like exposed beams and timbers with the practicality and comfort of a new build. 3. The layouts are usually quirky and zones can be established for practical living. 4. There natural layout and design frequently mean that light and bright contemporary living spaces are in the heart of the home. 5. High vaulted ceilings...enough said. 6. Conversions carried out to a high standard that are sympathetic to the original building’s history tend to hold their value well and are a great investment. 7. Did we mention the idyllic country setting?

In the city of Cape Town, within the Western Cape province of South Africa, a masterfully designed estate is tucked into the hillside. Designed to be a sanctuary of Architecture and Nature, the residence becomes a part of its natural environment seeking to blur the lines of where the home ends and the wilderness begins. Expansive green roofs with local native vegetation, provide views of the natural environment from most interior spaces. A cantilevered reflection pond extends off of one level of the home and offers expansive views of the forested region. The pond also works to increase biodiversity in the immediate region, while supporting aquatic vegetation that filter and clean the water. Green roofs act as an insulator for the interior spaces, helping to regulate temperatures yearround. The home is a stunning example of creative and thoughtful design, that puts the natural environment at the forefront of its conceptualization.

The Bedford Quarry House (Video by AD: Architectural Digest) Imagine a house perched on the edge of a dramatic abandoned quarry, its design echoing the rugged beauty of the surrounding nature. This is the vision architect Stephen Harris realized for a residence about an hour from New York City. The original structure on the site was dilapidated, prompting Harris and the homeowners to embark on a new build. Harris’s design prioritizes the dramatic landscape. The materials and colors of the house complement the hues of the quarry walls, while the layout unfolds a series of spectacular views as you move through the space. One unique feature is the organization of the house. Essentially, it consists oftwo stacked boxes: a lower garage level and an upper living space. As you progress from the garage, the breathtaking panorama of the quarry gradually comes into view. Stepping inside, the muted interiors promote a focus on the natural world outside. Pops of color, like the polka-dot wallpaper in the media room, add personality without overwhelming the serene ambiance. Special touches abound, including a hidden kitchen and a luxurious primary bathroom with double vanities. The roof, clad in sedum, contributes to the home’s sustainability efforts by providing insulation and managing stormwater runoff. The landscaping, designed by David Kelly, complements both the house and its setting. Native plants with colors and textures that echo the quarry stones tie the residence seamlessly into its environment. This captivating house exemplifies the harmonious blend of beauty &functionality in modern architecture. It stands as a testamnt to thoughtful design that respects and integrates with the natural world. 🏠🌳 #architecture #homedesign #naturelover #landscape Link of the Full Video:
