Mon Concept HabitationLes propriétaires ont fait l’acquisition de ce bien pour loger leur fille, jeune étudiante en Médecine. Dans cet appartement de 32m², les murs et les sols n’étaient pas droits, l’immeuble d’en face obstruait la lumière et l’agencement global du logement laissait à désirer. Il a donc été nécessaire de tout remettre à niveau, de repenser complètement les volumes et d’optimiser au maximum les espaces tout en apportant luminosité et modernité, pour lui permettre s’y sentir bien pour recevoir sa famille et ses amis et de travailler en toute sérénité.
Dès l’entrée, le regard est instantanément attiré par les superbes menuiseries courbées qui habillent la pièce à vivre. La peinture « Vert Galane » des murs de l’entrée font écho au « Vert Palatino » des niches de la bibliothèque.
Dans le renfoncement gauche de cette petite entrée feutrée, se trouve une salle d’eau compacte pensée dans un esprit fonctionnel et coloré. On aime son atmosphère provençale apportée par le carrelage et la faïence effet zellige, couleur terre cuite.
Le séjour épuré et légèrement coloré a été optimisé pour accueillir famille et amis. Les bibliothèques encastrées et courbées ont été réalisées sur mesure par notre menuisier et permettent d’ajouter du rangement tout en apportant une touche graphique et résolument chaleureuse. Notre architecte a également opté pour une cuisine IKEA linéaire et fonctionnelle, pour gagner en surface. Le plan de travail en bouleau, pensé tel une niche a lui aussi été réalisé sur mesure et fait écho au mobilier de la pièce de vie.
Enfin dans la chambre à coucher, l’impressionnant travail de menuiseries se poursuit. L’agencement de l’espace a été pensé dans les moindres détails : tête de lit, dressing, niches avec étagères et même coin bureau ; tout y est !

Designed as a home and studio for a photographer and his young family, Lightbox is located on a peninsula that extends south from British Columbia across the border to Point Roberts. The densely forested site lies beside a 180-acre park that overlooks the Strait of Georgia, the San Juan Islands and the Puget Sound.
Having experienced the world from under a black focusing cloth and large format camera lens, the photographer has a special fondness for simplicity and an appreciation of unique, genuine and well-crafted details.
The home was made decidedly modest, in size and means, with a building skin utilizing simple materials in a straightforward yet innovative configuration. The result is a structure crafted from affordable and common materials such as exposed wood two-bys that form the structural frame and directly support a prefabricated aluminum window system of standard glazing units uniformly sized to reduce the complexity and overall cost.
Accessed from the west on a sloped boardwalk that bisects its two contrasting forms, the house sits lightly on the land above the forest floor.
A south facing two-story glassy cage for living captures the sun and view as it celebrates the interplay of light and shadow in the forest. To the north, stairs are contained in a thin wooden box stained black with a traditional Finnish pine tar coating. Narrow apertures in the otherwise solid dark wooden wall sharply focus the vibrant cropped views of the old growth fir trees at the edge of the deep forest.
Lightbox is an uncomplicated yet powerful gesture that enables one to view the subtlety and beauty of the site while providing comfort and pleasure in the constantly changing light of the forest.
Breathe Design StudioCompleted in 2015, this project incorporates a Scandinavian vibe to enhance the modern architecture and farmhouse details. The vision was to create a balanced and consistent design to reflect clean lines and subtle rustic details, which creates a calm sanctuary. The whole home is not based on a design aesthetic, but rather how someone wants to feel in a space, specifically the feeling of being cozy, calm, and clean. This home is an interpretation of modern design without focusing on one specific genre; it boasts a midcentury master bedroom, stark and minimal bathrooms, an office that doubles as a music den, and modern open concept on the first floor. It’s the winner of the 2017 design award from the Austin Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and has been on the Tribeza Home Tour; in addition to being published in numerous magazines such as on the cover of Austin Home as well as Dwell Magazine, the cover of Seasonal Living Magazine, Tribeza, Rue Daily, HGTV, Hunker Home, and other international publications.

continuo dialogo con il parquet rovere, spaziano dal marsala al terracotta, dal corda al
cipria, sfumando gradualmente dai toni tenui a quelli più accesi che mettono a fuoco

Francesco Pierazzi ArchitectsThe corner site, at the junction of St. Matthews Avenue and Chamberlain Way and delimited by a garden with mature trees, is located in a tranquil and leafy area of Surbiton in Surrey.
Located in the north-east cusp of the site, the large two-storey Victorian suburban villa is a large family home combined with business premises, whereby part of the Ground Floor is used as Nursery. The property has been extended by FPA to improve the internal layout and provide additional floor space for a dedicated kitchen and a large Living Room with multifunctional quality.
FPA has developed a proposal for a side extension to replace a derelict garage, conceived as a subordinate addition to the host property. It is made up of two separate volumes facing Chamberlain Way: the smaller one accommodates the kitchen and the primary one the large Living Room.
The two volumes - rectangular in plan and both with a mono pitch roof - are set back from one another and are rotated so that their roofs slope in opposite directions, allowing the primary space to have the highest ceiling facing the outside.
The architectural language adopted draws inspiration from Froebel’s gifts and wood blocs. A would-be architect who pursued education as a profession instead, Friedrich Froebel believed that playing with blocks gives fundamental expression to a child’s soul, with blocks symbolizing the actual building blocks of the universe.
Although predominantly screened by existing boundary treatments and mature vegetation, the new brick building initiates a dialogue with the buildings at the opposite end of St. Matthews Avenue that employ similar materials and roof design.
The interior is inspired by Scandinavian design and aesthetic. Muted colours, bleached exposed timbers and birch plywood contrast the dark floor and white walls.
