The conceptual idea behind this project is absolutely amazing! 🌬️ “The Dubai Art Museum is an architectural solution for giving back pedestrians their share of the city and designing for them. It is the first step towards transforming a metropolis like Dubai into a walkable town suitable for all its citizens. In their pursuit of solving their traffic problems, Contemporary Cities have allocated a significant portion of pedestrian areas to the dominance of automobiles. As a result, pedestrian walkways between tall buildings and streets have gradually disappeared”, say the designers. _project: Dubai Art Museum _architecture: Kalbod Design Studio _sculptural artist: Amiraligarousian _visuals: ziba baghban _interior design: Ghazaleh Eskandari _location: #Dubai #architecture_hunter #architecture #design

Check out this revitalized 70s heritage home! 😍 “A 1970s heritage semi is reinvented with a sweeping restoration that celebrates its original character, and streamlines it for the future as a multi-generational home. Interior geometries are softened and streamlined with built-in furnishing elements and textural materials echoing the original 70s palette: cork, wool, timber and brass. Linking the past to the present, are the deep red tiles, a colour match for original tiles unearthed in the reconstruction”, say the architects. _project: SRG House _architecture: Studio Johnston _landscaping: Dangar Barin Smith Pty Ltd _photographers: Pablo Veiga, Anson Smart, Brett Boardman _location: #Sydney, #Australia #architecture_hunter #architecture #design

Henrique Hoffman's Tribute to Milton Nascimento 🎶 Inspired by the timeless song “Coração de Estudante” by Milton Nascimento and Wagner Tiso, architect Henrique Hoffman and Hunter Douglas Brasil collaborated to reimagine the façade of the historic Instituto de Educação de Minas Gerais (IEMG) for the Modernos Eternos architecture and design exhibition in Belo Horizonte. The intervention, “Há que se cuidar do broto,” is divided into three acts—Seeds, Sprout, and Flower and Fruit—each symbolizing different stages of growth. Utilizing Hunter Douglas Brasil' architectural panels, the façade features a unique kinetic design with pink perforated sheets that move with the wind, creating a visual and historical reconstruction. The project highlights the importance of education, aligning with IEMG’s motto, and will remain after the exhibition ends.
