🏢 Project: Dream City Residential Complex, Astana 📐 Authors: INK Architects 💎 Developer: BI Group 💎 Product: LartaPro HP Neutral 60/40 The Dream City Residential Complex in Astana stands as a testament to modern architectural elegance and innovation. Each of 9 buildings is constructed with a reinforced concrete monolithic frame, ensuring unmatched durability and strength. The sleek, contemporary design is enhanced by a harmonious blend of glass and aluminum panels, creating a facade that is as functional as it is beautiful. For the project's glazing, our High Performance Neutral 60/40 glass was used. This multifunctional, selective glass offers exceptional thermal insulation and solar control, making it the perfect choice for helping maintain an optimal indoor environment. By allowing maximum sunlight to flood the interiors, the glass keeps the heat at bay during summer and retains warmth in winter, contributing to year-round energy efficiency. #LartaGlass #LartaGlasscases #Architecture #Innovation #SustainableLiving #ModernDesign #HighPerformanceGlass

You’ve heard the terms Ground-Face and Split-Face before. But what’s the difference when it comes to these two types of CMUs? While both expose the beauty of local aggregates, here’s where they differ: 🪨 Ground-Face stands out with its refined appearance. These CMUs ensure a sleek, maintenance-free facade and are ideal for projects that demand a more modern look. 🪨 Split-Face offers a rugged, “rock-like” surface which really showcases the aggregates in the block. They’re great for offering a bold and natural look to your project. Despite their aesthetic difference, both CMUs are durable, sustainable, and fire/mold resistant, making them an excellent choice for a building material. Both options are designed to leave a lasting impression and embody our dedication to quality here at Jandris Block. Which style of CMU do you prefer? #CMU #ConcreteMasonry #Architecture #SustainableConstruction #FamilyBusiness

Architecture Coffee: The Spatial Elegance of Mid-Century Modern Architecture The Mid-century modern architecture movement created a lasting legacy through its mastery of simplicity, integrating materials and textures to subtly define implied thresholds between spaces. By utilizing thoughtful changes in material or texture, it established clear distinctions between programmatic areas without excessive ornamentation, enhancing spatial clarity while maintaining a sense of openness. This architectural movement adhered to the principle of “form follows function” in a real sense of the word concerning the relationship of natural and built environment. The design of structures from this period carefully articulated to align with the surrounding landscape, directing views and seamlessly merging interior and exterior spaces. This interplay between the built environment and the natural world fostered a sense of boundless harmony, where the division between indoors and outdoors dissolved into an elegant continuum. Mid-century modernism demonstrated that thoughtful, simple design could create timeless environments that elevated both the human experience and the natural surroundings. Its lessons remain ever relevant, continuing to inspire a refined and enduring approach to architecture. #Architecture #MidCenturyModern #DesignPhilosophy #Simplicity #ArchitecturalInspiration

Ambient lighting often complements primary lighting thereby transforming how a space is lit. The lighting then informs the atmosphere that it creates in the lounge space. The soft glow of the floor lamps offers a controlled setting for illuminating the room while the large circular overhead light adds an architectural element through its geometric shape breaking the monotony of an otherwise cubical space. #InteriorDesign #LoungeDesign #ArchitecturalProjects #ArchitecturalInsights #IndianArchitects #Architecture #ContemporaryDesign #LuxuryArchitecture #LuxuryInteriorDesign #InstaArch #HabitatArchitects #HabitatInteriors

What drives the perfect marriage between form and function in contemporary desert homes? 🌵🏡 In the image, a stunning two-story residence showcases the pinnacle of minimalist architecture: dark vertical cladding juxtaposed with expansive glass windows and an inviting wooden entryway. This thoughtful material combination isn’t just for aesthetic appeal—it’s a nod to sustainability. Metal panels and xeriscaping highlight the growing trend towards eco-friendly, low-maintenance designs. Having worked on similar desert projects, I’ve found integrating materials that mirror the natural landscape creates harmony with the environment, enhancing both beauty and efficiency. Xeriscaping, specifically, can reduce water usage by up to 50%—a critical stat for arid regions. Could such design principles be the key to future-proof architecture in climate-challenged areas? How are you incorporating local ecology into your designs? Let’s dive deeper—share your thoughts below or connect to discuss! #Architecture #Sustainability #DesignInnovation
