great - i only posted that because i love their name. for those that don't know - muf architects is an all women office based in london.

checking their website seems now they have 2 blokes working there - but that must be a fairly recent change.

Hahahahahaha. (My gynecologist's name is Dr. Bush. I kid you not.)

That was quick, a-f!

LB - thats too funny!

This one might be too easy... let's hope holz.box is not on archinect today:

peter markli - house in grabs

yep, but I bet you were googling "concrete house with cantilevered balcony 20cm above the ground"

haha! well i am bit of markli fan - actually in nov i am off to switzerland again - hopefully i can visit his La Congiunta museum in Giornico.

Oh, you definately should - it's a quite extraordinary... anyway, you're next!

lb you helped hoffman build the trellis bridge? he has some sweet drawings of those projects.

Yeah, though its not as romantic as it sounds. Early mornings, very cold weather, and a long trip back to the studio if you had to pee.

It is a beautiful project, though. And aging wonderfully.

who but an architect could like diabase's 09/23/07 16:48 entry? i'm not saying i don't like it, but every now and then i get a glimpse into the non-architect world and ... whew!

well i wouldn't imagine it would have been, unless dan went into one of his monologues; i just always wondered how much involvement cranbrook students really had in those projects. i imagine it would have been a great learning experience.

p2an...any hints on your 09/24/07 5:26 post?

Yes, please, p2an. I've tried all the google searches I can think of...is it in Amsterdam?

well the office is based in stuttgart. this project was published in the australian mag Monument.
think they also got a spot in Wallpaper once.
but still quite unknown, as it seems.
i'll post the mystery office - soon.

i didn't know the architect and the house but i discovered it by accident. totally beautiful...
well i am redeeming my coupons to post a building...

i love the shot of the older couple dancing - romantic to say the least.

ahhh. i've seen this before.
it looks kinda bernd zimmermann-ish. but the copper has some oil-canning going on which leads me to believe it's probably someone junger.

Orhan Ayyüce - that one with the couple dancing is Axel Ghyssaert, belgium architect. that is him dancing with his wife at their house just outside of Bruges.

and since no-one knows the one i posted earlier here is another house house they did

ok, the stuttgart office i posted is
büro für architektur
the first one being an extension in Überlingen at Lake Constance.

and now for something completely different.

p2an correct and knowledgable as usual. here are more pictures of Axel Ghyssaert house. i have to go back collecting more coupons to post again...

p2an I've seen that on arketia i'm sure. I think its in Chile...fingers crossed by mathias klotz? Maybe Felipe Assadi more likely the latter

axel is one cool dude.

techno, sorry not chile - but you're in the correct hemisphere...

australia would have been my guess, but only cos p2an spent some time there or hails from said region and seems pretty knowledgeable on obscure projects there.

bfa has some really nice projects. this thread is going to force me to move back to germany.

p2an:

Gough House, Tasmania
Craig Rosevear Architects

Are you from the apple isle?

Here's the link to Rosevear Architects

bugger. diadase post an image, please

i know that building - its by an irish firm; I know it is. But for the life of me I can't recall or find whom. I remember everything including that the patterns on the facade have a reference to the locale of the building. Ahh what is wrong with me?

not irish

This is my favorite thread, ever. Except for maybe Dear Abra.

"show us your map of tassie" - oops, that was supposed to be on the britney thread.

Nieto & Sobejano - Mérida Conference Hall.

[bump]

here's the link to Nieto & Sobejano from above.

To keep things rolling, here's the next one:

whoa nice gate. portugal?

are those shutters wooden?

nice indeed. the panels/shutters kinda sorta call this to mind:

Orhan, the photos of Axel Ghyssaert/house were great...they made me smile, and i needed that today, thanks!

not shutters/panels actually, but layers of steel chainmail style curtains. check the view from the inside:

ok.

i fucking quit.

i hate architecture.

gbcw.

yeah. i love the pix (keep 'em coming!) but this thread makes me feel stupid.

haha. apparently the building used to be a manufacturing plant, so the metal curtains are alluding to the steel conveyor belts that used to be there.

and it's not Portugal, but a little more swiss.

that grenada bank headquarters building's atrium up there is, umm, astounding.

AP...you posted that Shigeru Ban /Chelsea building on the news a couple of days, ago?! i was a little disappointed with it...will wait to see it built...now, i will try to crack phuyaka's swiss remodeled manufacturing plant

phuyaka...Hohenbühlstrasse, Zürich - AGPS.architecture...

and next, i found this while looking for phuyaka's last entry...

ah Simples you got it right as i was about to post another hint. i love that curtain system, and this intense facade detail:



as for Shigeru's project, i'm going to hold my tongue until i see some progress, but the bamboo construction fence on the site now is leaving me optimistic. did you see this rendering of the operable terrace window wall? I'm interested to see how that holds up.
