The mixed-use Zugló City Centre in Budapest’s 14th district integrates new civic spaces surrounded by nature together with homes, shops and offices on a site of nearly seven hectares between Bosnyák Square and Rákos Creek. Developed in phases by Bayer Construct Group in Hungary, the project will begin construction early next year and is scheduled for completion in 2029.

The building is composed of a wing that completes the block’s perimeter wall on Viale Umbria and an orthogonal wing that extends in depth towards the center of the block, with the last of the three stairwells extending the height of the building’s eleven above-ground floors: from the morpho-typological standpoint, the building is therefore a hybrid between a block’s perimeter wall type, a slab type, and a tower type. From the large double-height lobby on the street, there is access to a portico that provides direct access to all the stairwells and underground parking areas, accessible via independent staircases. This planivolumetric composition establishes three main façades: the one on the Viale facing west and two other façades facing south and north, clearly visible from the street through two large portals: the pedestrian one five floors up through which a glimpse of the south façade is visible and the vehicular one two floors up through which the north façade is visible.
Like a moored cruise ship, The Line fronts onto the IJ waterway in the Overhoeks district of Amsterdam. Sitting on private verandas behind the refined grid that wraps the building like a veil, residents enjoy views of the water just in front of them and of the city centre. The verandas are real outdoor rooms, their ceiling design making them feel like an extension of the interior space.
PERIFÉRICO 2008, is a multi-unit residential building, located to the south of Mexico City, very close to San Angel, known as “original town”, characterized by its history, monuments and religious architecture, as well as its museums, squares, streets and traditional parties.
The residences built there in XVIII century are characterized by being surrounded by gardens, nowadays those constructions are historical heritage within the city.
The project consists of 220 apartments, shops, workshops and an underground car park, divided across five blocks arranged like a hand opening towards the River Glatt. This was the last plot to be built in the new Zwicky Areal district and also the one with the most complex location, nested between the motorway, a main road, the S.Bahn elevated railway and the river.
Resolving the project’s placement within this environment required arranging the five blocks precisely so that they are defined by the empty spaces separating them. The interplay of the internal courtyards sculpts the space so that all the apartments open towards the river and the centre of Zwicky Areal. Defined in this way by their external spaces, the buildings form a noise barrier for the entire neighbourhood. The semi-private courtyards are raised relative to the public space, permitting the incorporation of an underground car park that links the ensemble together.
The proposed site is located within the newly designed masterplan of Rublyevo-Archangelskoe, a territory which occupies 461ha to the west of Moscow. It is a large-scale LEED ND certified project, with aspirations becoming a sustainable, high-tech and harmonious live-work city for business and families. Located on the greenbelt, adjacent to the Moskva river, it is an attractive location less than hour away from the city of Moscow.
The 640 residential unit building complex is comprised of a singular universal block, interconnected on two levels. It thereby suggests a permeable, notional, perimeter block. Each block is connected to the other as a bridge, which also produces a roof terrace on the free, upper surface of the block below. These terraces are for the leisure use of the residents. On the top-level, the roof terraces have gallery-type rooms above the lift cores with varying functions – a library, a gym, a nursery, a boiler room and a gallery.
MVRDV has completed construction of Ilot Queyries, a courtyard apartment building providing 282 homes – including 128 for social housing – parking, commercial space, and a rooftop restaurant in an intimate urban setting with plenty of light, air, and a large collective green space. Located to the east of the River Garonne in Bordeaux, across from the city’s UNESCO World Heritage historic centre, the building is part of a new neighbourhood of four buildings masterplanned by MVRDV alongside Joubert Architecture.
In 2014 the Ob riverside area in Novosibirsk was selected for redevelopment. According to the project, the existing industrial estate and fire station were to be replaced by several residential quarters. Brusnika is developing the European Riverfront, one of the plots along the Ob river.
The master plan of the quarter was designed by KCAP Architects & Planners. The European Riverfront is conceived as three clusters of blocks along the riverside and the inner street. The clusters are linked by public squares, each designed with a different character and dominated by a 25-storey landmark. Three towers Number 20, 24 and 28 are central elements to open public spaces in the housing estate composition, acting as navigation points for the pedestrian route along the river bank.
In the Netherlands, on the banks of the IJmeer and on the edge of the city Almere you’ll find Duin: a new residential, recreational and work area. It is made up of cozy single-family homes in the dunes, residential towers overlooking the lake and a lively center with a boulevard. One of the residential towers is Valencia, designed by Moederscheim Moonen Architects in collaboration with Klunder Architects.
Dr. Prévost housing project is situated in an increasingly urbanized residential neighbourhood close to the city centre. The existing cantonal master plan of the area is insensitive to its context and partly ignores the topography. It demands a sturdy L-shaped, 8 story building in the middle of a neighbourhood composed of individual villas with neat gardens. A dense programme, heavily regulated by housing laws and economical pressure, intends for a predefined mix of social housing and affordable condominiums.
