LINCOLN MODEL L100 CONCEPT LINCOLN.COM

Cadillac Founder Henry Leland started the Lincoln Motor Company in 1917 to build aircraf engines. When Lincoln went bankrupt in 1922, Ford bought the company, making it the luxury division of Ford for 100 years. Lincoln’s frst model, the L series, was made from 1920 to 1930. For its 100th anniversary, Lincoln is reviving the L nameplate with the L100 concept car, showing the blueprint for its luxury future. The L100 is designed as an autonomous electric vehicle, with the passenger space built around the lack of a driver. A unique three-petal clamshell entry system allows the reverse-hinged doors to swing open in a nod to the classic suicide door arrangement, with roof opening upward. The interior features lounge-style seating that uses recycled suede fabric, ambient lighting, and a digital foor display.

CULVERT GUESTHOUSE

ARCHITECT: NENDO JAPAN NENDO.JP

A storage facility for archiving furniture, products, and artwork in Miyota-machi, Nagano Prefecture, with a guesthouse attached. Located in a quiet and nature-rich environment where streams weave through a thick forest of red pine, the tunnel-like architecture took shape through a combination of precast and prestressed construction methods. For precast construction, common parts are moulded in a factory and assembled on site. An example of its applications in infrastructure projects is the box culvert (box-shaped concrete structures), used to store waterways, pathways, power lines, and communication lines buried underground. However, since the method itself does not provide a leak-free composition nor does it allow for stacking, both necessary for this architecture, prestressing was also used to connect the parts together.

The prestressing method is a technique used in civil engineering structures such as bridges, in which the parts are aligned and then tightened with wires to connect them. This results in a seamless and smooth surface fnish, obtaining a tight seal, and durability. The common square-shaped parts weigh approximately 12 tons each, and a total of 63 of these parts were used. The size of the parts was derived from the loading size of the delivery truck and the weight that could be lifed by a crane. The 45-degree reinforcement at the entry corner, which is also found in general box culverts, serves as a brace and enhances earthquake resistance. By connecting these parts, a slender, tunnel-shaped space with an internal dimension of approximately 2 x 2.3 m was created. Fourteen wires were used to connect each “tunnel” and care was taken to apply uniform tension to each wire at all times. The work involved gradually tightening the wires over time until a tension of 46 tons was fnally applied to each.

EL TEATRO

ARCHITECT: CADAVAL

BARCELONA. SPAIN CADAVAL.EU

ESTUDIO

An old village theatre built in the late nineteenth century and converted over time frst in a barn and then in a toilet paper warehouse is now transformed to operate as a live/work space. “The Theatre” (name that has maintained the building despite the change in its uses) is located in the geographical heart of Barcelona at the buoyant tech district 22 @ in the Poblenou neighbourhood.

COURTYARD HOUSE ARCHITECT: HA ARCHITECTURE VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA H-A.COM.AU

Courtyard House is a heritage-listed interwar bungalow. The clients, a professional couple, aspired to an idyllic, minimalist sanctuary — with abundant natural light on the south-facing site. Although the property deserved substantial improvement, their brief was for a modest three bedroom home on a similar footprint to the existing house.

This was not an extension, but a reconfguration. The clients’ sincere belief in zen principles called for an east-facing yoga studio/ study— and an onsen/ ensuite connected to nature. Two designated working spaces were also required. A property-specifc covenant dictated an external material palette consistent with the existing house of bricks and terracotta roof tiles. An added complexity was the long driveway down the western side of the house: this increased the “frontage” visible from the street.

HOSPEDARIA

TAVIRA, PORTUGAL HOSPEDARIA.COM.PT

In a quiet corner of the eastern Algarve, a traditional, white-washed former post ofce and general store, dating from 1917, has been lovingly re-imagined (the red post ofce sign still swings in the warm Algarvian wind) to house fve bedrooms, each with their own leafy, outdoor space – one might have a fg tree to sit under, another an pink-blossomed almond. The original bar, with its period tiled foor and industrial lighting, leads into a dining room dominated by a photograph by Abdel Keita Tavares and a sitting room with photographs by João Louro and Francisco Nogueria de Sousa under the high wicker-lined ceilings.

Outside, a swimming pool, complete with honesty bar, awaits.

MASSERIA IL TRULLINO SALENTO, PUGLIA, ITALY MASSERIAILTRULLINO.COM

A grove of 200-year-old olive trees gathers around the entrance of Masseria il Trullino. The lifeblood of Mediterranean land, these plants have seen many bountiful harvests of golden, extra virgin oil. Within these sun-drenched fve acres, you’ll fnd a serene hideaway with a masseria, where vacations with family and friends turn into stories told for lifetimes.

Built from scratch a few years ago, the home’s structure adheres to the style of “Pietra Leccese”, the local stone, applied with traditional techniques by local artisans. Signatures of the regional architecture, grand arches and four metre-high vaulted ceilings add an elegant touch to traditional Puglian rusticity. In July 2020, Apulian Architect Rafaele Centonze extended and completely restyled the country house, which consists of a main building and a separate guest unit.

The pull of the outdoors is strong here, with extensive grounds, an infnity pool, and a roof terrace with views that land over the olive groves and white-stone villages. On a very clear day, you may even spot the Adriatic sea and Albania in the distance.
