The Turbinenhaus Residential Building

 The Turbinenhaus is located in the Emmenhof area in Derendingen, directly related to the historical industrial buildings of the former spinning mill to the east and the hydroelectric power plant to the south. It forms the threshold to nature in the west and, together with the residential building in the north, defines the central spinning mill square]. [The concept and name are derived from the turbine—a machine rotating around a central axis, all-encompassing and in motion.

Reflecting this Inspiration

Reflecting this inspiration, the building features an aluminum facade that takes visual reference from a turbine’s sleek, metallic surface. This facade also acts as a mirror, capturing and reflecting the diverse elements of the surrounding site, from the historic industrial structures to the natural landscape. The reflective quality of the aluminum creates a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, allowing the building to visually merge with its environment while subtly highlighting its form and function.

Rotated Inner Outward of Core Torque The core torque rotates from the inside out like a turbine-type building

The building’s spaces develop from a rotated inner core outward, with the staircase forming the central torque of the turbine. The apartments are oriented on at least three sides and interlock with the surroundings like blades. The ground floor is public, enlivening the area with a restaurant and commercial spaces based on a flexible floor plan design. Above it, there are 24 apartments in 8 different types, spread over 6 floors. The building’s volume and the apartments themselves open towards nature and the canal is made tangible by the split-level apartments on the west side.

The Industrial Heritage with Contemporary Living and the Surrounding Environment Harmonizing

The building is topped with a collective attic floor, serving as a garden for various functions. Dense tree plantings support shading and cooling, and communal terraces provide space for social interactions.

Thus, the Turbinenhaus becomes a socially productive place on the site, harmonizing the industrial heritage with contemporary living and the surrounding environment.

Antiparos建築被重新定義且Avlakia住宅讓建築成為地景的一部分

05/04/2026

    Antiparos 建築不再只是風景背景，Avlakia住宅以地形嵌入與極簡語彙，重新定義人與環境的關係與居住本質，並指向Architecture and Landscape的核心命題   建築嵌入島嶼地形，與環境形成整體關係   Antiparos建築不再只是風景背景，Avlakia住宅透過地形嵌入與極簡策略，直接重寫建築與地景的關係，並重新定義島嶼居住的空間尺度，指向Architecture and Landscape的核心命題   基克拉迪群島的轉變：從度假開發到建築精緻化 與 Cyclades（基克拉迪群島）許多曾經寧靜的島嶼相同，Antiparos（安提帕羅斯島）近年來建築活動穩步增長，新建的度假住宅逐漸重塑原本崎嶇而自然的地形。嚴格的規劃法規雖然限制了建築形式，卻也反過來促使建築師更加專注於比例、尺度與細節，使當代極簡主義得以與在地建築語彙細緻融合，而非流於表面的風格拼貼。 相較於其他熱門旅遊島嶼，當地居民更看重建築背後的意圖，而非視覺上的戲劇性效果。當一個地方的審美標準建立在這樣的基礎上，建築自然也更趨於克制與耐久。由 Argyro Pouliovali 設計的Avlakia住宅，正是在這樣的文化氛圍中誕生。   開口精準控制視線，將海景納入空間   水面與視線延伸形成空間層次
