PARFAR DEVELOPMENT

We have been working on the double house PARFAR in a 1/50 scale model. Resulting in a motive of two overlapping volumes, each with their own characteristics clearly distinctive from both the outside as well from the inside. Here are some pics....

VILLA CHESS IS LOOKING FINE

In the same street as Villa View we got VILLA CHESS which also got windows and sliding doors put in yesterday and it looks really nice. Now this building is getting it´s final look, the huge doors are very smooth and the view is fantastic.

VILLA VIEW IS TAKEN SHAPE

This week Villa View really got into shape as the windows came in. The client had the first BBQ in his house together with us and all the builders involved. Congratulation from KRADS.

FRESH NEW KRADS SPACE

This weekend we moved the KRADS office in Denmark to our new location i Mejlgade. Due to the fabulous sunny weather, there was a lot of sweat but luckily no tears involved in the move. We got an early start sunday morning and with a lot of help from our friends and family we finished the move at two o' clock. We spent the rest of the day claiming the space.

The new KRADS office is a fantastic space accommodating concentrated workflows, intense workshopping, playfull experiments and a sparkeling game of ping pong. The new address is:

VILLA G IN PROGESS

VILLA GRAUGAARD has gone through the final stages of sketching. We are now working on drawings for the authorities and preparing to do the tender documents and details. The project is developed within a restrictive planning document. Simple operations to the iconic brick volume makes a house featuring a courtyard, panoramic view of the landscape and a framed view of the City of Randers. The house features a large family room, kitchen, and a library for play and study all organized around the courtyard providing the necessary daylight and a diverse space for everyday life.

REYKJAVIK SITES - MARCH

I have finally got around to posting the site pictures. Things have progressed a little since this visit in March, and the weather has got slightly better - I even heard that the prime indicator of icelandic summer, the Golden Plover, has been spotted. As can be seen, it was a beautiful day when we started out which degenerated into a freezing blizzard, rather hampering the photographing of later projects. A update of progress will appear soon.
