Building Review (Photo: Jeremy San) Minus K House, Shanghai, China -  The international airport and the new deep-water port of Shanghai are located in the district of Nanhui, which is part of Pudong New Area. This suburban area with its huge infrastructure is the perfect place for production of export goods. Many factories are scattered across the former agricultural land. Everyone who lands at or takes off from the international airport looks from above on the patchwork of industrial production, infrastructure, old villages, drainage ditches and vegetable fields. In this heterogeneous context with very different scales and functions, Satoko Saeki and Kok-Meng Tan of the Shanghai based firm KUU designed a duplex, composed of a normal dwelling for the family of a worker combined with a weekend house for the owner of a slipper factory in the compound of the firm's warehouse.   more New Profiles   Architects gmp · Architekten von Gerkan, Marg und Partner, Hamburg Architects Metro Arkitekter, Malmö   Interior Designers De-SPEC, New York Architects Jun Ishikawa Architect, Tokyo   Architects Buscando la Aurora, D.F.
