Dragon City
DC6 – Dragon City designed by ICE (Ideas for Contemporary Environments) and located near Ho Chi Minh City. ICE with local architects Trinity & Associates won a second prize in an international competition for DC6 – Dragon City. The design aims to maximize the programs on the site by introducing a mix of time share, residential units, hotel, commercial and recreational spaces. The site lies close to the beach, which makes it an ideal resort.
The Bourke House
Pacific Environments Architects have designed the Bourke House in the hills above Buckleton Bay, Matakana, New Zealand.
The original family summer cottage relocated to next door made way for a new campsite – conceptual 'tents', formed as connected pavilions. The pavilions are linked, forming a protective backing to the central space – the 'campsite heart' – as a gathering space, providing comfort, protection and connection with the land and activities. Main pavilion invites relaxation and nourishment, raised to acquaint with the coastal islands. Adjacent is the protective sleeping pavilion being adaptable for experiencing the ambience of the campsite and outlook; or being closed off for privacy.
Sliding glass doors enhance the spaces for opening up, experiencing, connecting. There’s no holding back, just feeling what is – sea breezes, reflections and sea-change personalities, moonlight and sun; whilst being secure from storms.
At one with Mother Nature, utilising her energies for cooling, heating, utilising solar hot-water, rainwater-recycling – for nourishing, refreshing, honouring the earth.
