The centrepiece venue for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ – played host to the Lusail Super Cup final between Saudi Pro League champions, Al Hilal SFC and the Egyptian Premier League winners, Zamalek on 9 September. The match was seen as a precursor to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ that will be played later this year.
Luke Fox, Head of Studio, Foster + Partners, said: “It was a delight to be at the game and see the stadium nearly filled with spectators for the first time. Our ambition was to create a striking yet simple form that reflects the building’s function, responds to the climate of Qatar and enhances the theatre of the event. The arrival experience is intuitive and immersive. Spectators enter the vessel between two tiers of seating that have been intentionally compressed to heighten the sense of drama as they emerge into the generous seating bowl flooded with natural light.”
Bede Gaming is a gambling platform and software company based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, with offices in London, England and Sofia, Bulgaria.
In April this year, Bede’s Sofia team moved into their new office. Pleased and proud of it, now Team Bulgaria can get together and collaborate in some rather swish surroundings!
The 700m2 new office is based on the 13th floor of the latest modern office building in Sofia-NV Tower. The office interior is a beautiful combination of modern and industrial styles that are softly bound together by accent colors used in the corporate color pallet. The firm’s identity could be observed across the whole office design along with the team’s collective character.

Lumen is a high tech company that operates in the field of health and wellness. Their headquarters are located on the entire 10th floor in one Tel-aviv’s newest office buildings, right in the heart of the city’s business district.
As a rapidly growing tech company it was clear from the beginning that the project would be done in two stages. While the first was designed in 2019 (and completed in 2020, during the first months of the pandemic), the second stage was designed a year and a half later, when living with the pandemic called for a change of concept in the design. This project is a clear example of the effects the COVID-19 pandemic had on everyday life.
This project aims to recover the set of ruins on the agricultural property of Fazenda de São Bartolomeu.
The Existing Situation
The whole is more like a small village where each building is a distinct part of its neighbor. A rich variety of typologies appears and yet there is a profound uniformity in the whole. The old facilities dedicated to agriculture were built and adapted according to new needs. The replacement of people by the machine brought changes in use.
Located in Vila Olímpia, in São Paulo, the project was conceived for a single young man who wanted an apartment that reflected his cosmopolitan lifestyle. As he lived alone, one request was to modify the original apartment plan, integrating one of the three bedrooms with the living room and increasing the social area space to receive friends. In addition, the balcony was closed and integrated into the living room, creating an area of about 75m² that includes a dining room, living room, and gourmet kitchen with bar.
The luxury of the house is in the nature, the intention of the house was to evoke the peace of the environment through durable materials that would age naturally with the environment.
Architecturally, it is developed in two main volumes, which timidly show themselves as a piece sculpted in concrete, brick and large windows within a forest of Maples that surround them.
Intimacy and elegance describe, in a perfect stylistic balance, the new restaurant Chez Pierre in Monte Carlo, led by Pierre Baldelli. A career as Maitre D’ for over 40 years that began in a Paris bistro and a profound experience in the world of starred cuisine between England, France and Monaco: Pierre Baldelli opens his first restaurant in Monte Carlo, where Head Chef Stephane Goudé serves French cuisine and international dishes.
Located within the Metropole shopping centre, Chez Pierre is an enveloping space with vibrant tones inviting moments of emotion. From concept to realisation, Vudafieri-Saverino Partners conceived a project that interprets the history and passion of Pierre Baldelli, taking guests on a journey between Monte Carlo, Paris and London, the cities where he was trained.
Pizza, as we all know, is no longer just a plate, it is a fact, a universal symbol, which involves everyone, it is a global plate and sometimes unfortunately “Globalized”.
The most effective synthesis on the essence of a pizza remains by Aurelio Ferro in the 1950s, a man willing to do the most unthinkable insanity for a woman he has just met, but she wanted a pizza. A choir of Neapolitan voices could help us to make it better the idea, “vulia a ‘pizza”.
A residential house has been reconstructed in the Ribiškės Landscape Reserve belonging to the Pavilnys Regional Park.
The project aimed at reflecting the local spirit, contextually and sensitively meeting the needs of a modern house. Keeping a link to the past, and yet creating a present-day heritage, has become one of the main challenges. Do not expose architecture, but rather “immerse” it in an old apple orchard. To anchor the house comfortably to the terrain and make the inhabitants feel at ease in the environment.
