Being constructed by Brusnika, Mylzavod (Soap factory) is a quarter in the heart of Novosibirsk. The project name references its location. The site was an industrial estate dominated by a soap factory in the early 20th century. Producing over 30 varieties of soap, whose top quality made it a product for export, it was a unique production line in Siberia. Back in the day it was an industrial part of the city, but after the 1950s it was gradually transformed into a residential area. Small houses appeared next to factory shops, but residents were displeased with the industrial neighbourhood. By 2013 the factory production was discontinued and the plot was chosen for the renovation programme of central Novosibirsk and allocated for a new housing estate.
Easyhome Huanggang Vertical Forest City Complex, located in the city of Huanggang in Hubei province, is the very first Chinese Vertical Forest designed by Stefano Boeri Architetti China, fully completed and already home to the first tenants since a few weeks ago.
It’s a new type of Vertical Forest combining open and closed balconies that interrupt the regularity of the building and create a continuous ever-changing movement, accentuated by the presence of trees and shrubs which thanks to the structure, are able to develop freely in height while the foliage fits perfectly into the façade design.
In today’s evolving global residential landscape, the dire issues of attention to sustainability, access to open green space where social-distancing is possible, and a need for a more eco-conscious living are the newest trends that influence where and how we live.
Now more than ever, the world needs to cut back on carbon emissions, waste and the creation of unnatural materials that damage the environment. In tandem, the creation and planning of architecture need to be mindful of innovations that both manifest outstanding design and have environmentally-conscious attributes. With myriad abilities to work in various spaces and industries, developers, businesspersons and investors will look to upgrade their spaces and buildings, especially luxury residential real estate.

As with all city dwellings, there is a lack of nature and harmony which has been remedied in this design. The building base is facing the west, so as to not be tested by the extremely hot weather in the south of Taiwan. Hot weather does not make for a comfortable living environment which is why its effect has been diminished. The design philosophy uses the basic teachings of modernism from the 1960s, and the large amount of greenery is akin to a forest in the city. The unobstructed view allows for an impressive view of the city while the projected shadows demonstrate the natural passage of time. The facade of the building utilizes a cantilever beam-column system with a sun-shaded aluminum plate for deeper light and a richness of space. We try to make the building look light and modern, and hope to reshape the traditional perception of Asian people, that luxury is more important than a feeling of wellness and contentment.
Color isn’t something to be afraid of. Bright colors fill our lives with emotions.
Rich blue and noble maroon colors have become the leitmotifs of the Musician’s apartment.
Something special can be created even using simple materials as a play of colors, texture and rhythm of tiles, rare musical instruments, ceramics and decor.
As our customers gave us freedom, the project was implemented without any special requirements and restrictions, except for the budget. If you live in the same environment all the time, you will get stuck and bored. Therefore, we tried to avoid stagnation, using unusual shades and trying to leverage them somehow giving the dynamics to the interiors.
This 820 sq ft apartment takes up the entire Parlor level floor in a 1850s townhouse in West Chelsea. The 12’ ceilings in the public areas – the living room and kitchen – are remarkably higher than those in the bedroom and the bathrooms. To create a better sense of flow in the space, and to mitigate the height difference, we introduced two diagonal ceilings.
An arched library built in the living room provides the space a sense of hierarchy, grandeur, and scale, together with a newly designed marble fireplace and crown moldings.
Brusnika’s quarters in the River Port form a new housing estate in the centre of Tyumen, Russia. The area is located at the site of the former river port, which marked the beginning of Siberian steam navigation in the late 19th century. Barges were used to transport grain and salt, metal and peltry, fish and timber. At the time Tyumen was genuinely the door to Siberia. In the second half of the 20th century, the development of rail and automobile infrastructure led to a declining demand for river transportation. Eventually the port faded in importance but it still remains a memorable place for the city.
The architect Stefano Boeri designs Palazzo Verde in Belgium, a little gem in Antwerp’s Nieuw Zuid district. He and his partners at Stefano Boeri Architetti (Francesca Cesa Bianchi e Marco Giorgio), officially presented the brand-new building realized together with construction partner Triple Living.
“I believe that our cities must play a leading role in the battle against the dramatic consequences of climate change. We must urgently make them greener if we wish to succeed in turning the tide”, says the architect Stefano Boeri with great commitment when describing his vision of the future.
“The composition of the project aims to solve, on the one hand, the program needs of the developer in terms of surface areas and location of different houses and, on the other hand, to give a solution to the different singularities of each project such as the orientation, the implementation of the buildings on the plot, the views or, as in this case, to locate the houses adapting to the strong unevenness of the plot. The buildings are placed on the ground, adapting to the topography so that they do not interfere with each other’s sea views and that some look out over the others, with the roof being flat and landscaped.
