#Azul: Summer Pavilion

9th July 2024

When Blue and Pink arrived, Crimson and Cyan were already there on their first visit, finishing their supper and playing a game of Molehill Meadows.  This is a new game by the designer of Zuuli, that they had picked up at the UK Games Expo (meeting the designer Chris Priscott and his delightful family in the process).  In Molehill Meadows, players take on the personality of Mika the Mole, who has…

A drawing I made this summer, after I started playing the boardgame Azul (3rd edition one, the Summer Pavilion) with my family. It can have this mindblowing kind of effect on the brain I wanted to portray, when you're starting to really think about how you're going to play deeply: carefully counting how many tiles you need, considering what to pick to get something good not only on this round but further down, what's of help to you or the other players, etc.

A bit dizzying but I love that kind of game (it's great for overthinkers). Plus it's really pretty!

Next up on Board Games I enjoy

Azul.

The original is still one of the best family games I think you can get.

The basic idea is that you are making a tile mosaic, using five different color tiles. To begin the round, you are selecting tiles and discarding the remainder into a shared pool. The second part of the round includes placing those tiles into your mosaic if you have enough of them. You score points based on how well you arrange your tiles.

It's fairly simple to learn and follows that familiar style I enjoy: working to one's own success while using a shared resource.

The other games in the Azul series carry over the general idea of how tiles are selected, but the scoring and board are very different. The Summer Pavilion and Queen's Garden introduce another layer of complexity, if the original is too simple. All of them are beautiful to look at.

Nove društvene igre 6.09.2019: Paviljoni, tornjevi i frka na ostrvima

Razmišljali smo dosta da li da ovonedeljne vesti počnemo kao sastav “kako sam proveo letnji raspust”. Umesto toga, samo ćemo se obradovati što se više ne topimo kao sladoled dok prelistavamo nove društvene igre. A najavljeno je svašta – novi Azul kvadratne pločice pretvara u rombove, Ankama sprema […]

Bak Gordon Arquitectos adds concrete "garden pavilion" to 19th-century Porto home

Large glass doors open a double-height living space out onto a lush garden in this annexe to a 19th-century home in Porto by Bak Gordon Arquitectos.

Named Casa 2, the building was conceived by the Lisbon-based studio as a standalone "garden pavilion". It contains four ensuite bedrooms, a kitchen, library and communal living room across two floors, set within a large garden at the rear of the existing home.

The Casa 2 annexe was designed by Bak Gordon Arquitectos

Almost the entire southern end of the concrete building is wrapped in tall glass doors framed in oxidised brass, allowing the living area to blend with the garden in summer.

In the colder months, the space functions as a "winter garden" centred around a fireplace in the western corner.

A winter garden framed in glass doors occupies the ground floor

"[Casa 2's] communal space is a generous, double-height winter garden, which ensures the transition between the intimacy of the rooms and the outdoor space," said Bak Gordon Arquitectos.

This contrast between openness and intimacy is reflected in the annexe's materials, with both the exterior and the living space finished with exposed pigmented concrete.

In the bedrooms and library, this rougher material is swapped for carpeted floors, Tadelakt plaster walls, fitted wooden furniture and terrazzo bathrooms.

Pigmented concrete walls are left exposed in the living space

The bedroom block has a trapezoidal shape, creating two small pockets of garden space at either side of the outbuilding, which the rooms overlook through deep-set windows on both the ground and first floors.

"The volume rests on the ground with specific geometry, committed to the multiple environments that gravitate around it," described Bak Gordon Arquitectos.

Bak Gordon Arquitectos builds Casa Azul alongside elongated pool

A staircase behind the living room leads up to the library, which houses a bookcase and small seating area illuminated by a skylight as well as an internal window that looks down onto the living space.

"The kitchen and the library are small spaces directly related to the circulation and characterised by their thermally-modified wooden cabinets that contrast with the Tadelakt-finished walls and the concrete floor," the studio added.

Built-in furniture was incorporated throughout the annexe

Two further skylights illuminate the centre of the plan, while two circular windows sit on the ceiling of each ensuite bathroom.

The annexe is surrounded by raised planted beds and two paved pathways, which connect to a route that surrounds the existing home and leads to an adjacent garage.

Bedrooms have a neutral and calming look

A white wall lined with trees surrounds the site boundary and a raised swimming pool sits at the centre of the garden.

Bak Gordon Arquitectos has completed several homes across Portugal, including an apartment renovation in Lisbon that introduced a small courtyard space and a home in the Alentejo region with an elongated swimming pool.

Blue and Pink were joined for food by Jade, Plum, Byzantium and Sapphire.  As they finished, Pine, Green and Purple showed up (leaving Black under the patio, again), followed by Ivory and a team of Sherpas toting his massive Complete Collection of Everdell.  There were quite a few possible takers for the Pearlbrook expansion, the night’s “Feature Game“, but eventually, after a lot of discussion,…

UK Games Expo 2023

It is hard to believe that it is a whole week since the start of the sixteenth UK Games Expo.  With the Friday falling in half-term week for most schools, attendance reached an all-time high with reports of 32,000 unique visitors over the three days of the event—a remarkable bounce back from the 10,671 in 2021 (the first Expo after the cancellation in 2020).  As in previous years there was a…
