Modern Concrete house in Vancouver.
Tags: Concrete Home
This house is to be a part of, and vessel for, a large contemporary art collection. Great 20th century works by Bruce Nauman, Robert Ryman, Jeff Koons and Jannis Kounellis are part of the collection which includes important video artworks. Constructed of tilt-up concrete walls, the flat and rotated nature of the walls merges with the simple orthogonal requirements of the interiors for art. Shape extensions and light and air chimneys connected to cooling pools articulate the planar geometry. From a courtyard experienced at the entry of sequence, a ramp leads to a rooftop sculpture garden - a place of silence and reflection.

Following the successful launch of the Zip Bag, Heatherwick Studio was invited by Longchamp to design the company’s first contemporary flagship store. With a retail space situated above street level, the challenge was to find a way to draw people up into the store from the street.
The studio’s solution uses natural light, from a large glazed core cut through the building, to draw people up a landscape, rather than a conventional staircase or escalator, to the floor above. Constructed in 1¼” hot-rolled steel and taking six months to build, the stair landscape weighs 55 tonnes and is an installation of ribbon-like forms that divide and converge to form a topography of walkways, landings and steps.
The balustrades are formed using aerospace windscreen technology to create a series of uniquely-formed panels that drape with the fluidity of fabric, rejecting the familiar rigidity and flatness of conventional sheet glass.
The project also includes the construction of a new third storey, incorporating showroom, offices and roof garden, as well as unique display and lighting systems for the store.
