A generational change in the hotel industry is always an opportunity. The renovation of the Park Hotel Franceschi in Cortina d’Ampezzo was entrusted to the South Tyrolean architecture and design studio NOA. A good choice: the combination of old and new is impressive
When Kengo Kuma sets out to realise a contemporary office building, he pushes the boundaries of the imaginable. Kibi Kogen N Square is an avant-garde timber construction that promises an immersive experience.
The architecture firm LUO Studio has designed a cost-effective, modular timber construction system. The Longfu Life Experience Centre is the prototype and can be scaled down, enlarged or dismantled and relocated as required.
A workplace like a luxury flat: with the new office of the financial company Horsley Bridge Partners, the Huntsman Architectural Group has created a working environment in San Francisco that focusses on work-life integration.
WOHA from Singapore knows the innovative architectural standards of its city. With the Pan Pacific Orchard, it has designed a hotel that consists of twice as much green space as buildings.
On a remote archipelago in Ontario, Canada, Akb Architects designed a wooden summer residence: Whistling Wind Island. A wild, enduring property, just like the place where it was built.
The Taverny Medical Centre near Paris is a newly built health centre in timber construction. There are good reasons why its floor plan and room programme are based on the medieval monastery typology.
The Reef Restaurant on the Chinese island of Shengshan is a project by Benedetta Tagliabue that celebrates the sea and coastal landscape as well as cultural heritage. Local materials and wood are to play a key role.
Door number 14 opens gently and leads quietly into a room of silence, where Scandinavian design philosophies meet Japanese wisdom. The Danish Norm Architects have been studying the Far East for a long time and have incorporated their findings into numerous projects. Together with Gestalten Verlag, they have published Stillness, a book that we are giving away at the quietest time of the year.
The Rehmannia Root Crafts Exhibition Hall is dedicated to an important medicinal plant in traditional Chinese medicine. The well thought-out dome construction by Luo Studio is based on a cost-efficient structure made of standardised timber.
Inspired by the ‘White Cube’ concept, Pierattelli Architetture’s latest project is envisioned as a ‘neutral box’ seamlessly integrated into the lush greenery
As the founder of an environmental design office, Yussef Agbo-Ola creates very special objects. He has even created something extraordinary for the Sharjah Architecture Triennial: the Nono: Soil Temple, which unites all aspects of life.
In Praia do Forte, Brazil, Sidney Quintela Architecture and Urban Planning have developed Casa Brise – a house in which the interior lives from its palm-rich surroundings. And vice versa.
Casa S stands out not only because of its spectacular location on the rocky coast of Chile. The family holiday home also stands out thanks to its unique design, which was modelled on a toy.
Sophisticated architecture is increasingly finding its way into the high mountains. In the Pyrenees, the Refuge de Barroude, a refuge designed by the architectural firm Snøhetta, is setting new standards for building in high alpine regions.
CCY Architects have designed a home in the Rocky Mountains that couldn’t be closer to nature – in the truest sense of the word. Because DNA Alpine contains the genetic information of the trees.
The Italian studio MAB Arquitectura has restored an early twentieth-century aristocratic residence surrounded by terraces tiled in blue majolica, featuring large windows and finely decorated ceilings, mixing its original details with contemporary uses and functions.
