Araras Pavilion: A Light and Elevated Guest House Amidst Nature by Venta Arquitetos • The Araras Pavilion, designed by Venta Arquitetos, is a guest house situated on a plot with a steep slope and significant tree growth. Completed in 2023, the project involved constructing two guest suites and a caretaker's residence within a limited timeframe of 200 days. • To minimize disruption to the natural environment, the architects adopted an elevated and lightweight construction strategy. The single-volume structure is supported by four deep foundations and positioned to preserve existing trees, creating an aerial patio around a native tree for suite access. • The choice of materials, including prefabricated flooring, drywall walls, thermo-acoustic tiles, aluminum frames, and cement boards with Cumaru rulers, facilitated rapid construction. The front facade features vertical wooden strips, while the rear facade is painted in graphite to blend with the surrounding tree canopies, ensuring a harmonious integration with nature.

Seven incredible facts about the construction of the St Regis Chicago 🧐 1. Designed by Jeanne Gang, it is the tallest skyscraper in the world designed by a woman. 2. Measuring 101-story’s (1,198ft) the skyscraper cost nearly $1 billion to construct, one of the biggest price tags in Chicago’s history. 3. According to its architects, the tower "presents itself as three interconnected volumes of differing heights, moving rhythmically in and out of plane" as a result of the curvilinear design. 4. The tower has a notably smaller footprint than other supertalls in Chicago with a building height-to-core aspect ratio of 40-to-1. 5. The 83rd floor has been left empty to let Chicago’s famous winds whip through. This ‘blow-through floor’ reduces sways. 6. Unlike most buildings, the building's perimeter columns step inward and outward instead of going directly upwards. Each column projects about 5 inches outward or inward from the one below it. 7. The multicolored glass and low reflectivity reduces the number of migrating birds crashing into the tower.

Where do I begin? In isolation, this is indeed an attractive tower design. What the issue is here however, possibly even more than the way that way that it impacts the heritage-listed Parcels Post Building at Sydney’s historic Central Station (which should be obvious), is the way that indigenous and built heritage has been used to justify this 45 storey proposal. I will allow others to look at the design, consider the quotes from this article (which come almost directly from the raft of documentation to support the proposal), and draw their own conclusions. - “The slender looking building… resembles the form of a “clustered pill” shape to symbolize an Indigenous Australian message stick.” - “Terracotta fins on the tower’s facade reference the character of the Parcels Post building” - “Toga Central will sit above the former Parcels Post building” (please note the massive support pillar) - “the curved facade seeks to mirror the conformation of the historical building.” https://lnkd.in/e6DaZVQT
