| SETEC offices: a modern ‘Cathedral’ Posted: 03 Sep 2015 04:40 AM PDT ![Oficinas de SETEC: una]()
And that’s what comes to mind when we look at the impressive building that houses the new offices of the Centre of International SETEC, located in the town of Vitrolles (France). Funny retro style that pervades the entire project is not accidental; and is that in the 1970s, the architect Jean Prouvé developed a system to create three-dimensional, and structural steel plates with panels of acrylic on the front.
This material was used to cover an vast area without having to increase the number of supporting elements. In the year 2011 rose a new module of offices, which used the same constructive approach for two reasons: its good result and avoid breaking the personal aesthetic of construction. ![Oficinas de SETEC: una]()
The project, work of the Studio of architecture Sériès Et Séries, gives rise to a volume form of parallelepiped, settled on land in pending and the line that marks the edge of the property. It is also perpendicular to the boundary of the estate. An additive cantilever covers the original building and the new volume, in such a way that it serves as a Communicator between both buildings. The new construction consists of several plants, formed by a metal frame which rises on a partially buried concrete base.

The siding was decided according to certain factors such as the budget, space needs and the possible variations of the program in the future. Different materials for enclosures, were tested on the basis of its structural qualities and lighting. Thus, chose to establish large openings allow access to natural light, covered by a large overhang that protects the Interior of sun exposure.

| A fully industrial loft Posted: 02 Sep 2015 04:43 PM PDT 
A few days ago, I spoke in Decorablog on what are the keys to decorate a loft and get that half avant-garde style, medium industrial is looking for in this type of real estate. The example that I bring today largely meets those keys, but what most caught my attention of his style is emphasizes how to maximize industrial environment, in such a way that sometimes his aesthetic can even be debatable.
Because in this loft there are corners that have been preserved as they were when the floor was rehabilitated. The result is certainly shocking, and furthermore forms part of a building in New York overlooking nothing less than to the Empire State Building.
The loft is an attic with terrace, which has been one of the most impressive reforms of all the property: added a fully glazed room, from which you can enjoy the best panoramic view of the famous building. The room is an example of recycling; He has been with the back of a truck container, preserving the original structure to panelarla in part with large crystals. This curious “fishbowl” now houses the main room of the House. In the photo you can see how the previous area is glazed, while the rear still retains the original yellow metal sheets.
Room connects to the lounge, located on the lower floor, through a fire.The rest of the loft is the simplest: concrete walls, pipes and steel beams to sight and an open design that welcomes in a single space, the lounge, the dining room and kitchen. The plant also has room for a child’s bedroom. In the wall voids, formerly intended for refrigeration equipment, have been set up housing Accessories multimedia : a hi-fi system, an inter-communicated video channel, a removable television crew, a library and a vertical monitor which focuses on the 24 the Empire State Building.
