Indian pool house by 42mm Architecture has a concrete frame

A thick loop of concrete forms the walls, flooring and roof of this pool house, completed by Indian firm 42mm Architecture in the garden of a New Delhi residence (+ slideshow).
The pre-stressed concrete structure made it possible to slightly cantilever the structure over the edge of its sloping site.
Other recently completed pool houses include a bulky concrete structure in Madrid and a building with a folded wooden ceiling in Melbourne.
“This combination of wood and concrete renders an expression which welcomes its guests while dazzling them,” added 42mm Architecture.
“Asserting its presence with a singular, bold and robust frame, this house sits impressively within its surroundings,” it added.

Argentinian studio It Met used corrugated plastic and sheets of wood to partition the workspaces of this advertising agency in Buenos Aires.
“We are are an architecture and design studio, so the furniture pieces that we develop are always directed to solve or to complement our architecture spaces,” said Ciovich.
“There are 10 different kinds of panels, and all of them were designed under the same concept,” said Ciovich.
Ten types of panel in different materials and coatings were used to designate meeting rooms, desk spaces and recreational areas.
“We believe in the concept of modular architecture that takes shape through the union of different parts.”
