With Covid encouraging many people to rethink how living spaces can best be used, open-plan kitchens offer us multiple options for using a single area of the home for different purposes.#architonic #newsletter #kitchendesignreport #interiordesign #newinteriordesignkitchen #newkitcheninteriors #cookingplaceinteriors
Open-plan and multi-purpose: new kitchen spaces With Covid encouraging many people to rethink how living spaces can best be used, open-plan kitchens offer us multiple options for using a single area of the home for different purposes.
Taste in terms of kitchen design is also a personal matter, of course. But, as the kitchen becomes an increasingly integrated part of a more expansive, more open living space, there are clearly identifiable trends in its expression. Emphatic colours, and, in particular, colour-blocking, is one such trajectory. Fill your boots! #architonic #newsletter #kitchendesignreport #interiordesign #newinteriordesignkitchen #newkitcheninteriors #cookingplaceinteriors #lastkitchenprojects

In-air travel might have lost some of its lustre, but newly designed airport lounges are changing the course with ultra-modern and luxurious settings that invite travellers to unwind or keep working in total comfort. #architonic #report #newsletter #transport #design
The global phenomenon of urbanisation continues apace, bringing with it a host of infrastructural, not to mention, social, economic and health, issues. According to the UN, two-thirds of the world's population will be living in cities by 2050. #architonic #report #newsletter #transport #design #metro #railway #station
Driverless-car technology might be upon us (watch out, pedestrians!), but those self-possessed vehicles of tomorrow will still need somewhere to be housed. In short, the ultra-utilitarian typology that is the car park isn't going anywhere. | Car Parks | Forster | Groosman's P+R Driebergen-Zeist | Louis Poulsen | Paris Car Park by Anonyme | Zechner / Zechner | Bicycle Shelters #architonic #report #newsletter #transport #car #park #vechicle #design #architecture

In our selection of cafe projects, we look at some of the numerous approaches that an architect or interior designer can take in order to keep the coffee lovers coming back. #architonic #hospitality #architecture #interiordesign #architecturalproject #hoteldesign #restaurantdesign
Larger spaces can pose a specific set of challenges to the architects tasked with designing for them, but equally, they of course open up rich scope for creativity, too. #architonic #hospitality #architecture #interiordesign #architecturalproject #hoteldesign #restaurantdesign
The latest data shows a resurgence of the hospitality business, but less so in big cities. As remote working – at least part of the time – becomes a permanent fixture, suburban bars and restaurants are experiencing a renaissance. For hotels, meanwhile, it's those in more rural settings, whose considered designs respond materially and formally to their immediate context, that international-travel-restricted, retreat-minded guests are discovering. #architonic #report #hospitality #interiordesign

Constructive thinking Recent university builds remind us of the critical importance of inspiring physical spaces for real-time, face-to-face learning and the unfettered exchange of ideas. #architonic #report #newsletter #education #architecture #interiordesign #education #kindergarten #schooldesign #universitydesign #librarydesign #publiclibrary #architectureineducation
Back to school? Schools have become one of the most socially, politically and culturally charged battlegrounds during the Covid pandemic. Shutting them down is the easy bit. When and how to reopen them is an altogether more complex affair. #architonic #report #architecture #interiordesign #education #kindergarten #nursery #schools #classrooms #children #paediatric
Third-level education is where the training wheels come off and (mostly) young people are invited to develop their intellectual faculties independently. The role that architecture has to play here shouldn't be underestimated. As places and spaces of inspiration, they also have to fulfil their utilitarian function effortlessly. And, increasingly, flexibly. #architonic #report #architecture #interiordesign #education #kindergarten #nursery #schools #classrooms #children #paediatric

Regenerative architectural projects that transform formerly derelict spaces into living ones bring with them not only environmental benefits, they also help breathe new life and energy into local communities. #residential #homedecor #interiordesign #homeinterior #furnituredesign #residentialdesign
We may have moved on from a structural reliance on brick to keep our buildings up, but the traditional material’s natural aesthetic and texture is still standing strong in modern architecture. #residential #architecturalproject #architecturedesign #architecturalidea #modernarchitecture #moderndesign #buildingproject #buildingarchitecture
The dual impulses of the desire for splendid, restorative isolation (a place apart) and the longing for the bustle of the crowd (a place to party) are familiar to all of us right now. The former, at least in our popular imagination, often manifests itself in the trope of the forest or mountain cabin. In the real world, such diminutive projects are gold for architects: combining reduced carbon footprints with the opportunity to dialogue with dramatic natural contexts. #cabinarchitecture

Building blocks: new office architecture As our selection of new office projects suggests, the influence of childhood building-block projects by young architects-to-be is often seemingly reflected in the life-size versions they go on to create. #Architonic #officebuilding #officeinterior #officedesign #officeideas #architecture #architecturalproject
The use of colour on new office space projects For interior architects and designers, colour represents a powerful tool for not only shaping physical spaces, but also shaping the atmosphere and mood of the people who work in them.
Designing sustainable buildings means more than just environmental consideration. It's also about creating long-life, adaptable spaces where people feel well and want to be. Office projects are no exception. But how to marry workers' needs, against the backdrop of rapidly changing work cultures and behaviours, with architecture as a rhetorical expression of a company or an organisation's brand? #architonic #report #officeinterior #officedesign #workspace #interiordesign #architecture

KOGAA STUDIO TURNS ICONIC BRNO FUNCTIONALIST HOTEL INTO DESIGN FESTIVAL VENUE BY KOGAA STUDIO
Tasked with creating experiential retail spaces that attract and engage potential customers, interior designers and architects today have a range of tools at their disposal. #architonic #report #storedesign #retail #shopdesign #shopexperience #interiordesign #interiors #newinterior #architecturaldesign
The stakes are higher than ever in the bricks-and-mortar-retail game. Take an already burgeoning e-commerce industry and add a pandemic and you're left with physical stores having to navigate distinctively choppy waters. Confident and compelling design concepts can indicate true north, but only if they deliver rich, memorable experiences for brand-loving customers. #architonic #report #storedesign #retail #shopdesign #shopexperience #interiordesign #interiors #newinterior #architecturaldesign

Health authorities are finally grasping the role that architecture can – and, frankly, must – play in patient care and recovery. From day clinics to hospitals, new projects show a greater emphasis on daylight and a connection with nature, while, at the same time, devoting more space to communal activity and therapy. #architonic #newsletter #report #healthcare #medical #treatment #healthcentre #clinicdesign #hospitaldesign #healthcareretrat #therapyinthenature #rehabilitation #consultation
If ever there were a building type where the relation between architectural space and user wellbeing is writ large, it's the hospital or clinic. #architonic #newsletter #report #healthcare #medical #treatment #healthcentre #clinic #hospital #rehabilitation #consultation
The problem of how to care for our senior citizens in an increasingly ageing population has become a full-blown crisis. While funding social care for the elderly is critical, architecture also has a role to play, creating environments that deliver not only on utility, but also on dignity and compassion. #architonic #report #newsletter #healthcare #hospital #medical

Space is at a premium. This we know. Visit any major city today and issues of congestion, sustainability and liveability loom uncomfortably large. At the same time, in spite of the fact that we're increasingly conducting our social interaction in the disembodied digital realm, we're still made of flesh and blood. Which is why shared public spaces are becoming ever-more important. #architonic #report #newsletter #landscape #environment #nature #design #architecture
Urban-greening projects have become standard fare for many a regeneration plan. From a sustainability perspective, the benefits of reclaiming and repurposing previously redundant or underused land are hard to dispute. #architonic #report #newsletter #landscape #environment #nature #design #architecture
Good landscape architecture has the power to transform, changing neglected, sometimes inhospitable, spaces into places. Literal building in the service of community-building, this is socially fertile ground. Let's come together. #architonic #report #newsletter #landscape #environment #nature #public #space #design #architecture

We've rounded up some of the best examples from around the globe of residential projects where the pool is the hero, along with a survey of the latest spa projects. #architonic #newsletter #report #wellness #spadesign #health #relax #treatment #fitness #body #mind #mindfulness #architecturaldesign
Spas are, among other things, places of commune. Not only where we come into contact with others (nudity is a great leveller!), but also where we return to ourselves. An increasingly frantic world calls for greater mindfulness and a more compassionate relationship with our bodies. #architonic #newsletter #report #wellness #spa #health #relax #treatment #fitness #body #mind #mindfulness
Once the preserve of the health freak, the bodybuilder and the narcissist, the gym is now as much an everyday feature of modern life as going to the office or shopping at the supermarket. The fitness boom means plenty of creative opportunity for architects, commissioned by gym chains and independent players to deliver unique, competition-beating design experiences for discerning patrons. #architonic #newsletter #report #wellness #spa #health #hotel #fitness #body #mind #mindfulness

The Olympic Games are always a great platform for contemporary architecture, with gold going to whomever lands the commission for the main stadium. This doesn't mean that for everyday athletes – the likes of you and me, just trying to keep fit and to keep stress levels down – #architonic #report #newsletter #leisure #health #sportcentre #sportcomplex #interiordesign #architecture
Swimming pools are great social levellers. We're all the same when we're splashing about. But some pools themselves are more equal than others. | #architonic #report #newsletter #leisure #health #sportcentre #sportcomplex #outdoor #indoor #pool #interiordesign #architecture
We're facing a crisis. Worldwide, obesity levels – according to the World Health Organisation – have tripled since 1975. If ever there were a need for local authorities to invest in the construction of more sports facilities that get communities moving, it's now.

David Chipperfield Architects' new landmark for Zurich, the no-expense-spared expansion to the city's hallowed Kunsthaus, has perhaps eclipsed an equally impressive project of theirs – the refurbishment of one of Berlin's modernist icons, Mies van der Rohe's Neue Nationalgalerie. #architonic #report #newsletter #culture #heritage #latest #modern #museums #museumdesign #exhibitions #cultureandarchitecture #interiordesign #architecture

If our social identities are constructed to a large extent by the environments we inhabit and how we choose to stage them, then infrastructural projects are the glue that holds these environments together – the systems and facilities that feed them, in turn allowing us to act out our daily lives across them. #architonic #report #newsletter #infrastructure #public #toilet #engineering #structure #architecture
When it comes to building projects, bridges wear their utilitarian function on their sleeve. This is infrastructure in perhaps its purest form, enabling passage from one point in space to another. #architonic #report #newsletter #infrastructure #bridge #engineering #public #structure #architecture

In addition to their functional character, public buildings usually also have a representative one, which opens up many possibilities for architects in terms of creative scope – resulting, not infrequently, in the creation of some real architectural gems. #architonic #publicarchitecture #architecturaldesign #architecture #architecturalproject #architecturelovers
