‘Adriatic stone cottage’
Lately I have been working on a retrofit of a 120 year old stone cottage. Here are some existing photos compared to the new 3d renders and drawings.

A bit of history:
The island of Hvar, (Chakavian for: Greek: Φάρος, Romanized: Pharos, Latin: Pharus) hails as one of the most popular islands on the Adriatic (Croatian) coast, with rich history dating back to the ancient Greek settlements in 384 BC. The island prospered under the Venetian rule in the 15th century, often used as a stopping point for ships sailing between Venice and the rest of the Mediterranean.
Much of the islands’ vernacular architecture is influenced by the old Venetian stone courts with external staircases and narrow laneways, which locals call ‘kale’.
The cottage is currently in a dilapidated state, and historically it went through several DIY transformations, such as the extension of the ground floor external amenity, repositioning of several openings as well as partial attempt to cover up the stone façade with external render. Traditionally, service rooms such as the kitchen and dining (on the ground floor) were separated from the living areas above, with a different entrance. In order to meet the contemporary needs of the dweller, as well as enhance the internal connectivity and productivity, the new intervention looks at harmonizing all spaces into a connected whole, converting amenity zone into an open kitchen space with the aesthetic appearance of the parent object and its traditional vernacular. Another intervention was to introduce a small terrace above (within the kitchen roof zone), which would serve as an extension to the new ‘Piano Nobile’ zone on the 1st floor. The new spiral staircase now connects all three floors together, and a pinnacle of the journey is a new rooftop gallery with a roof balcony opening towards the harbor views of the old town.

Watercolour perspectives. The power of freehand drawing representation can still hold that ‘wow’ factor and sell the dream.

This -detached mountain house in needed a bit of love and care, so within the tight and limited budget we proposed a facelift, in order to enhance both thermal comfort and an aesthetic appeal. Externally the new cladding provides calming and warm timber tones that echo the woodlands of 🍀🌲🌄
Internally, the house was opened up to create better spatial quality in terms of natural lighting as well as functionality. The loft space which original served as the storage has been converted in a mezzanine bedroom as well as the kids cubby house.

If we were to create a home 🏡 for every single homeless person on this planet 🌍 (a tiny 5 by 6 meters studio apartment) and place them all in a single building 🏗️ , the building’s footprint would not only cover the entire Central park in New York city, but it would also likely be twice as tall as the Mt Everest. 🏔️ , reaching the height of 17km, as shown in these diagrammatic studies. This impossible to build mega-structure would consist of thousands of lift cores, and it would pierce like a pointy pyramid well into the Stratosphere, with its top half looking down at a domestic jet ✈️ paths. According to the UN there are at least 150 million homeless people on our planet, and over 1.5 billion people with inadequate shelter, food and water.
These numbers are sadly increasing by day as the natural disasters 🌪️ , political and economic crisis hit the world 🌎 as well as rapid population growth in places already short of resources. In a constant race to build taller skyscraper with magnificent views on prominent locations of major global cities, unfortunately, none would match the immense size of this hypothetical megastructure that would be needed to address all of the world’s homelessness.

The House of Dali feature on Amazing Architecture

This concept directly echoes Dali’s works depicted in a form of architectural reinterpretation, titled the House of Dali. The house is located in a deserted coastal area with minimal backdrops similar to the artists’ paintings.
