Mimosa Road was recently completed in Singapore by the creative team at Park + Associates. The daring residential complex aimed to “capture modern design through clean straight lines and massive forms compensated by meticulous and creative selection of materials to keep a warm rustic touch to the feel of the house. One of these materials is burnt orange brick that evokes the history of the original house having exposed bricks all throughout“, the architects asserted.

The building consists of several volumes, surrounded by generously-sized outdoor areas. Extensive glazing allows unobstructed views from each room.  The core of Mimosa Road house is a double-height living interior, connected to the terrace and swimming pool on one side and to the dining room on the other. Lighting is ensured by imposing chandeliers and modern wall spots. The overwhelming scape of the project is slightly mellowed by the use of wood, brick and inspiring decorating items.

Sanjay Puri Architects have designed Auriga, a restaurant and nightclub located in Mumbai, India.

Toda grande cidade tem pelo menos um bairro degradado. Aquele que inicialmente abrigou indústrias, fábricas, comércios e que um dia tiveram suas portas trancadas por razões distintas. Com o crescimento e expansão das cidades estes galpões ou pavilhões que acabaram abandonadas, como um efeito dominó, acabam desvalorizando todo bairro e seu entorno, causando uma alteração radical de frequentadores do local e estes impõem suas atividades ilícitas. Aqui em Porto Alegre estamos concentrando energias afim de readequar o uso do 4° Distrito, que é uma região central e de acesso a Capital que passou por um processo muito semelhante ao citado. É uma zona muito bem localizada, com lotes grandes e muitos galpões abandonados, que de fato merece ser revalorizada, ser reutilizada, ser reformada com a inclusão de Hostels, Centros Culturais, Offices, Co-works, Comercios variados, mercados, Casas Noturnas, Restaurantes, Habitações, e de fato ser apropriada pela cidade.
É nesta linha de pensamento que compartilhamos o belo projeto do Auriga Restaurante e Nightclub, que nada mais é que uma reforma em um velho galpão industrial, agregando valor e trazendo a sociedade para região.

Description
An old factory warehouse was stripped off its external walls to allow the insides to be infused with natural light and create a view of the large trees along the road from its internal spaces that were transformed to a restaurant and a nightclub.
The upper level with a better view, houses a restaurant space and the lower level opening into an outdoor patio is a nightclub.
The entire building exterior is created in a web of aluminum fins that are folded in angular planes. This geometry is carried through into the interior of the ground level where the web is more abstracted and sheaths the walls, ceiling, staircase, bar and columns. Partially open and partially enclosed in strips of galvanized metal sheets that are backlit, the entire space is rendered sculptural with the integration of all design elements within the abstractly woven web.
A black palette forms the backdrop for this metal web with a flamed dark grey granite floor, black walls and black sound insulation fiber boards constituting the ceiling.
A single flight stairway traverses through a 24’0” high volume from the metal dominated nightclub at the lower level to a wood enclosed restaurant above.
The walls, ceiling and live kitchen counter and serving bar counter are sheathed in undulating angular planes of thin wood strips creating a fluid volume for the restaurant.
The two levels are in complete contrast, with one dominated by steel and the other by wood to create different experiences within the same space. The abstraction of each space with one merging into the other through the double height volume located centrally integrates them simultaneously.
Both spaces create the feeling of being within a sculpture redefining the way internal spaces can be perceived.
