Aries

Aries redefined the meaning of luxury streetwear. A brand firmly established in contemporary fashion circles that has deep roots in skateboarding subculture, with the power to unite worlds, genders, and even generations under the roof of its signature Temple logo. Founders Sofia Prantera - who cut her teeth at cult label Silas in the mid-90s, and Fergus Purcell - graphic driving force behind Palace's iconic branding, have perfected making playful clothing with an underground edge. Quality is another constant, obvious in everything from their T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and jeans to those headline-grabbing collaborations with Turner-winning artist Jeremy Deller and sportswear giant New Balance.

Logo Artilleriet

Ann Demeulemeester x Serax
Ann Demeulemeester, one of the most iconic and influential names in fashion from the 80s and 90s, has put her unmistakable sign on a collection of interior objects including lamps to die for, mouth-blown glasses, handprinted tableware, and hand-faceted cutlery.

After learning how to model clay, mix glazes, and buying a kiln, her passion grew. One dinner guest was so awestruck by the Demeulemeester’s plates and bowls that she offered to introduce the designer to Axel Van Den Bossche, who founded Serax with his brother Serge in 1986.  

This resulted in a collaboration between Serax and Ann Demeulemeester in a series of porcelain, cutlery, glass, and lighting.

VEJA

With an ongoing initiative to produce eco-friendly and sustainable fashion, Veja was the brainchild of Sebastian Kopp and Francois-Ghislain Morillion. Founded in France in 2005, the two saw the evils in globalization and unjust manufacturing factories around the world; these issues arose while they were doing global non-profit work. Veja would eventually come to fruition when they created stylish sneakers that were composed of recycled items and used some of the most ecological materials that could be sourced. Using materials like ChromeFree leather, Organic fabrics, and wild rubber, silhouettes such as the Campo, V-10, and Esplar are some of the most stylish sneakers around. Veja’s signature models have all been supported and worn by the likes of Meghan Markle and Reese Witherspoon.

Anna and Eugeni Bach create Barcelona apartment building with bright yellow balconies

Architecture studio Anna and Eugeni Bach has designed Seven Lives, an apartment block in Barcelona that references its surroundings but has been given a playful modern touch with vibrant balconies and an adaptable layout.

The building was designed by the Barcelona-based studio to conserve and capture the essence of the neighbourhood, while also adding a contemporary look.

Located in the old centre of the Horta neighbourhood in Barcelona, the three-storey terraced building was built on a small infill plot and contains three apartments, one on each floor. Each apartment measures 40 square metres.

Anna and Eugeni Bach took cues from the surrounding buildings and their common characteristics to design the exterior, which incorporates balconies, blinds, stucco and baseboards in a similar style to others in the neighbourhood.

The apartment block was designed to adhere to the area's building regulations, which specified what materials and colours could be used.

While the exterior is a grey-beige stucco informed by other nearby houses, the studio paired it with external frames and features painted a bright yellow that add a pop of colour to the facade.

"The regulations of this area specified a range of colours and materials," studio founders Anna and Eugeni Bach told Dezeen.

"Yellow appeared in the catalogue, as it is used in other buildings in the area, and we combined it with a grey-greenish colour of the facade, which is a colour that we can also easily find around and which makes a good contrast with the yellow.”

A "lost" balcony on the roof terrace, which exists without a room behind it, aims to soften the height difference between the house and the adjoined building and help tie the design in with the street.

"It was just about following the 'rules' of the street in terms of materials, proportions, balconies and shades," the studio said.

"We just evolved the design in a way that we did what had already been done in the neighbourhood, but with a slight touch of delicacy in the balconies, shades, and frames, which gives a contemporary touch to a very common facade."

The studio named the building Seven Lives in reference to the interior, which it says can be organised in seven different ways.

Apartments are organised around a central space that contains kitchens, bathrooms and a shared staircase leading to the upper-level residences.

Two equal-size rooms flank the central spaces and face either the street or the house's interior patio. These can be used either as bedrooms or living spaces.

"There are just three small apartments which have been designed with a certain idea of indeterminacy," the studio said.

"In this sense, the different spaces next to the facades are all equal so that they can as well host a bedroom, a living room, or a studio depending on the user."

"Summing up all of the different combinations, there are seven ways of living in these three houses, seven lives, like seven windows," the studio said.

Each apartment also has access to an exterior space – the ground-floor is adjoined by a patio, while the upper levels have access to a roof terrace that is split in two.

Anna and Eugeni Bach was founded in 1999, the studio works across urban planning, architecture, interior and object design.

Other infill projects include this former garage that is clad in Corten-steel clad home in Utrecht by Zecc Architecten, and this infill extension with a perforated bronze facade by Atelier Dau.
