Carnegie Pavilion is a semi-freestanding ‘dual-use’ pavilion on five floors, comprising a gross internal area (GIA) of 4,000m², and broken down into three sub-zones: exclusive Leeds Met spaces + exclusive YCCC spaces + ‘dual-use’ spaces (comprising 70% of total area). Leeds Met areas are primarily for teaching kitchen, hospitality and staff accommodation, and YCCC areas for player’s facilities and staff accommodation. ‘dual-use’ lecture rooms are used primarily by Leeds Met, during the academic year, and by YCCC, during the cricket season, as corporate hospitality suites. Similarly, ‘dual-use’ meeting rooms are used primarily by Leeds Met, during the academic year, and by YCCC, during the cricket season, as TV and radio commentary boxes.

In the heart of the water city of Royat and its green mall in the confluence of the Tiretaine and Liaboux rivers, our extension project is a dynamic response to the ambition of Royat city to build a mobilization swimming pool represented by a very attractive and contemporary architecture researched by the patients of spas.
The project “Dental INN” has been designed by the architect Peter Stasek as a dental facility in form of a therapy-lounge for dental beauty in Viernheim / Germany. The project represents a new concept of interior design for dental practices themed “healing effects of organic shapes and natural structures” and was mainly developed for Dr Bergmann, an international accredited implant dentist. In addition to dental treatments such as veneers and bleaching, Dr Bergmann and his team provide, amongst other things, symposia on implantology for numerous young dental surgeons from Europe, Asia and Africa.

Inaugurated 2010, Based on a block form some openings are carved to illuminate the interior space or in most cases tearing and piercing the building to its inner courtyard. The building is turned inside out: the exterior façades look opaque, dense, with just a few carves in the main points of the building like the stairs and the main entrance. The interior façades appear as a translucid and continuous glass curtain wall that embrace the internal patio shaded by proposed trees. In the top portion of the mass each carving provokes an event with its surroundings, covered parking spaces, main entrance, and a covered seating area for open air events.

Company headquarters in the inner city usually form blind spots, unattractive to the public and desolate after office hours. Therefore, the design is not understood as an architectural but as an urban task with the aim of maximizing public space on the building lot. With a number of plazas, a direct footpath from the main train station and the inner city and the integration of external uses, the area becomes more attractive to the public. The demand for maximum public use and communication dictates the internal organization of the building.
Aachenmünchener Headquarters
Aachenmünchener Hq, Aachen | Germany The annex occupies two blocks of late 19th-century city fabric, and provides a new interpretation of the typical perimeter development with its semi-public and leafy courtyards. The urban sequence of expansions and squares is extended by a perron and a plaza evolving from it. Existing and new buildings are connected by the “boulevard” which consists of a transparent level hosting seminar areas, a restaurant, a cafeteria, meeting rooms, and other communication areas. The boulevard floats above the various garden spaces inside the building block, and connects the office spaces, eventually opening up at the main entrance and the pocketpark, offering a representative face to the street.

BIG has taken a step back to survey the rules of the system in Manhattan and is introducing a European typology: the perimeter block. With an efficient layout and a sense of intimacy, the perimeter block meets demands for density and security. In this project, we have married it to the traditional Manhattan high-rise, creating a unique shape which combines the advantages of both: the compactness of a courtyard build¬ing with the airiness and the amazing views of a skyscraper. The form of the building shifts depending on the viewer’s vantage point. From the West Side Highway, it appears to be a pyramid; from West 58th, a dramatic glass spire.

This is a BBQ restaurant in Osaka designed by TOFU Architects. TOFU used a lot of bamboo material for the wall and blind, giving the impression of light and airy. Bare bulb Light hanging on each table is tiny light, but it reflects the light of a naked light bulb in a unique glossy texture of bamboo to produce a soft glow throughout the room. They used a glossy paint on the wall of cedar panels, giving the same effect as the bamboo.
This is small house for the young couple in Obama, Fukui, Japan. There is a vacant lot around the site. So, by creating a large window on the second floor, it is possible to see paddy fields, mountains, sky and feel to spread over a floor area. This plan has high ceilings and large living with cross sections of two small rooms. By the relationship between great room and small room, we created many different places in the small house. The house is wrapped with galvalume, the black masses standing quietly in vacant lot are familiar with the countryside.
