House of the week

This one doesn't really cry out for attention - it's a very simple and modest house. I like a few things about it. Firstly, it's in Bruge, which is a really great place (I went there long before the movie as well).

I also like the simple volumes, the welcoming transition between inside and outside, the material palette and the private studio space.

Belgium really is producing some great architecture.

Interesting lecture video

Have to admit, I didn't listen to the whole thing though....

"Estudio Macías Peredo is led by Salvador Macías Corona and Magui Peredo Arenas and is based in Guadalajara, Mexico. In their lecture as one of the winners of the Architectural League’s annual Emerging Voices awards, Corona and Arenas reveal the ways in which the local conditions and building traditions of their country have become creative drivers for their contemporary practice of architecture. They have a shared interest in primitive buildings, seeking to incorporate some of the inherent abstract qualities of primitive structures in ways that address contemporary issues".
