H.House by Axis Architects

terrific design! m.











“The H House is a modern residence located high on Salt Lake City’s East Bench on Devonshire. The living spaces of the house are oriented towards the expansive views of the valley and the Great Salt Lake.

One of the challenges of this project was to allow for the views to the west, while protecting the house from the afternoon sun. A large overhanging shading device provides shade and gives a distinctive character to the house.

The volumes of the house follow the slope of the terrain and reinforce the integration of the house into its environment.”

Sandcrawler by Andrew Bromberg of Aedas

creative form and use of materials. m.

Sandcrawler, the new regional headquarters for Lucasfilm Singapore owned by Lucas Real Estate Singapore and designed by Andrew Bromberg of Aedas, has an innovative horseshoe form. Upon completion of the design, it inspired the naming of the building, rooting it with success of the renowned animation company.

Located on plot CX2–1, this sleek, elevated office building is impressively streamlined. Its form arose as a logical outcome of the zoning restrictions which dictated the roof height and slope as well as the amount of required elevation on each face. These requirements were then overlaid with client’s needs, including large floorplates to support the large animation teams and lifting the building off of the ground to afford some privacy and security to the sensitive work being performed inside. The maximum depths of office space to natural light shaped the floors into a ‘V’ plan overlooking the lush courtyard enclosed and below.
