Next Hub

Next hub is an architecture and landscape integrated project in Jeddah that blends in different facilities including hotel, administration, entertainment, f and b and recreational zones. The designer wanted to create good views for the hotel and admin building because the project plot is not surrounded by any views, this was achieved by creating a dynamic composition of masses with respect to environmental, cultural and financial aspects creating good urban experience with visual and social interaction.

Villa K

On the sloping south flank of the Holterberg, Van der Jeugd Architecten has designed a contemporary villa with very spacious dimensions. Thanks to the carefully designed integration into the beautiful landscape, a materialization that matches the stature of the villa, and sophisticated detailing, the design approaches that of a "Gezamtkunstwerk". All the more because the house requires little maintenance and is self-sufficient, you can rightly speak of a "sustainable beauty".

House in sinjyo

The "House in Shinjo" has no windows outside. That is due to the site's unique condition, which is along the national highway bypass. The house has an inner courtyard like a hole in a square block as a device to let in light and wind while closing to the outside. The building is a wooden structure. In spite of the structural constraints, the designers focused on creating the open space that the client wanted. The interior floor plan was designed to allow the two people to live alone in a spacious and relaxed atmosphere, with a limited building area.

The Lake Art

The appearance of the reconstructed building has a subversive and innovative performance. Surrounding the original three container-style iron-clad buildings, the basic geometrical structures are interspersed and cut in two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces, forming shapes scattered in the space, and thus dividing different areas. The functional attributes of space are very rich. From the reception area, the salon area to the exhibition area, the flow of movement is immersive and coherent, but it dramatically increases the possibility of five senses.

Floating Hotel

Hi Sea

Conceived as a floating island, this hotel is located 500 meters off the coast of China’s southern fujian province. The buoyant project offers guests unrivaled views of the water as well as spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Its remote location meant that the architects had to consider environmental factors such as ocean currents and monsoons. Balance Design studied fish rafts in order to ensure buoyancy, while it was also important that the structure could withstand hurricanes. The roof is constructed from the same corrosion-resistant materials found in airport terminals and and yachts.
