Apartment in the south of France from Brengues Le Pavec Architectes

Design firm Brengues Le Pavec Architectes has transformed an old apartment in the city of Montpellier in the south of France. SBL apartments are a modern and cozy space, completely redesigned in accordance with the wishes of the customer.

Architects got rid of the long corridor and created more harmonious proportions of private and public areas, filling all rooms with light.

It was decided to combine the living room with the kitchen, while the latter was still placed in a glass cube, which made it possible to separate the rooms if necessary. To enhance the effect of separate rooms on the floor in the kitchen, tiles were used, while in the main part of the day zone there is oak parquet. The central kitchen island resembles a jewel in a jewelry box. The black wall in the living room contrasts with the large white library opposite.

In the apartment, there is a large number of joinery, which were created specifically for this project. It was also possible to organize a lot of hidden storage systems, including in each of the four bedrooms.

In the bathroom, the contrast of black and white colors is repeated, and tiles are also present.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

House at the foot of a mountain range in Mexico

Studio Surber Barber Choate + Hertlein Architects designed a luxurious family residence in the city of San Pedro Garza Garcia, Mexico, at the foot of the El Cerro de Chipink mountain range.

The complex configuration of the building, whose area is 929 square meters, is created by a combination of vertical concrete planes that form internal and external spaces flowing into each other. The main topics of study of architects are thus Transparency and Penetration.

Secondary forms, trimmed with black granite or contrasting white plaster, create more monolithic and closed volumes. The texture and color of granite rhyme with the mountain peaks rising very close. The coolness of the stone and concrete is contrasted with the warmer shades of wood that are used inside and out.

The inventive composition of planes forms portals creates negative spaces, frames the most expressive views, and provides a hierarchy of scales.

The construction of the house uses a passive solar design, which minimizes energy consumption; the collected rainwater is used for irrigation and supply of decorative fountains.
