S&S Studio by Scott and Scott Architects

sweet renovation/retrofit — love the minimalist + historic combo! m.

A year after the launch of their practice architects Susan and David Scott have completed the refurbishment of the historic commercial space in their 1911 East Vancouver residence. Once a butcher shop and a long running grocery store, the space has been stripped back to a simple volume lined with Douglas fir boards and completed with black stained fir plywood millwork.

LOOP Kindergarten in Tianjin by SAKO Architects

wonderfully creative space for education in northern china. m.

“the ‘LOOP’ kindergarten in tianjin by tokyo and beijing-based practice SAKO architects creates a clear contrast between the industrious apartment-block surroundings and the colorful colosseum of education. not a single sharp corner exists — from the footprint to the window sills, beveled edges make for a kid-friendly environment brought to life with 18 vivid tones that span the spectrum of the color wheel and carry through to the structure. the gradually transforming colors also hold a logistical purpose — they are used by the children to identify different areas in the structure so they do not get lost or confused in a circular building.”
