INTERIORPERSPECTIVES

Employees working in office lounge areas are more productive than those who work in offices without them This is according to several research papers that have proven that an office lounge area can indeed improve productivity in employees It is one of the main reasons why many modern officeskeepthesespaces

PAMBANSANGPALIPARANNGPILIPINAS AproposedRedevelopmentoftheNinoyAquinoInternationalAirport

DESIGNCONCEPT

There is a vital link between architecture and culture Thus, uniting the distinct architectural character of Mactan and Clark International Airport with the proposed redeveloped NAIA would make an identity for Filipino Aviation Architecture As travelers move through airports, they experience a series of different environments – from the bustling street outside to the terminal building, and finally to their gate Each of these spaces has its own unique atmosphere and design

The Philippines is called Asia's pearl of the orient for the richness of its culture and beauty of its landscapes Therefore, the Copen+Hagen team chose to use the clam's shell as the design inspiration for its shape Airport architecture has evolved over the years to meet the changing needs of travelers In the early days of aviation, airports were simply open fields where planes could take off and land But as air travel became more popular, airports needed to be able to accommodate larger numbers of passengers and airplanes

Today, airport design is all about creating an efficient and enjoyable travel experience To do this, architects need to consider everything from the flow of traffic to the location of amenities And with more people traveling than ever before, it's more important than ever to get airport design right The group decided to use Urban Oasis design This involves creating green spaces within the airport terminal that can provide travelers with a moment of calm amidst the chaos of air travel These oases can take many different forms, from small gardens to large parks

HEXAD

AProposedMid-riseCondominiuminTarlacCity

DESIGNCONCEPT

Commonly, squares and rectangles emerge as the main options when designing The same way that arches and circular plans are our go-to form The role of geometric shapes in the architectural composition is endless However, we cannot forget a polygon that also serves its purpose: the HEXAGON

ARCHITECTURAL INTERIORS

Nothing beats an ergonomically designed kitchen with adequate lighting and space for circulation

Starting this series with The Meadow View House designed with muted tones and inviting textures

In that sense, not only it reimagines your kitchen experience but also fosters efficiency

ARCHS AND FLUFFS

Arched windows add a touch of architectural elegance and sophistication to any living space Their curved design creates a sense of grandeur and make a room feel more luxurious Furthermore, it exudes timeless quality that can withstand changing design trends

Ambiance wise, the visual cohesion achieved through the muted tones of the interior reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being, making them suitable for spaces where relaxation and comfort are of great demand Moreover, the contrast in the surface texture of the furniture, walls, and ceilings catches the eye and adds visual intrigue to a room

THE FOREST LODGE

The objective was to seamlessly integrate the interior with the forest setting and create an illusion that the nature enters the house. The material and color palette of the landscape were picked up and applied on the design resulting to an impression that the interior is still part of the forested landscape It is as if one could feel like he's sitting in the forest but with added sense of warmth and comfort

THE TROPICAL SKILLION

Sitting as a place of calm composure under the blaze of the hot summer sun, the interior offers a quiet reprieve from the elements, where contemporary refinement meets vernacular imperfectability The interior is nothing new from most southeast Asian tropical houses; with tropical trees, large foliage, and open plans that allow unobstructed airflow

Furniture wise, ���������� ��������������’ �� �������������������� ��������, the sofa you ’ re probably seeing everywhere on instagram, gives a beautiful contrast to the tropical living space
