Standing dominantly at the second largest CBD in Beijing, the Da Wang Jing Mixed-use Development designed by Andrew Bromberg at Aedas, is a dynamic commercial gateway at junction of the arterial expressway from the airport to central Beijing and the North 5th Ring Road, where it can be seen from distance like a shining urban oasis. The design juxtaposes the staid image of Grade A offices and corporate headquarters together with an amicable spatial experience to all users, making a vivid interpretation on Andrew Bromberg’s concept of “co-existence of people and nature”.
The five towers of the development are sensibly distant from one another, providing generous public spaces with greenery extending all the way to the Wangjing Park north to site. The design aims to accentuate its relationship to the surrounding greeneries, guaranteeing maximum permeability and encouraging public access. With its soft flowing garden-like temperament, the development easily distinguishes itself from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding commercial neighborhood as a truly human-scaled architectural expression.
Millennials are China’s most affluent demographic. They are young, wealthy and lifestyle-oriented. Yet they also long to experience nature and to live a sophisticated, artistic lifestyle that transports them away from the world of the fast-paced mega city. So the new sales centre for real estate developer CIFI in Chongqing is more than just an elegant sales space for new-build apartments – it is a symbol of customer desires and an important communication tool for CIFI. The iconic building represents a living concept in harmony with nature and with a sense of gracious spaciousness. Which is why the sales centre is more than just a sales machine; it invites interested parties to enjoy a relaxing and informative visit. Once the real estate sales phase is over, the building can be repurposed as a restaurant or club house.
The project initiated from the need to have prominent clubhouse acting as a front gateway of the master plan immediately from main road. The form of this building was designed as sculpture which reflect the dynamic and smooth elements.
According to the owner’s requirement, it is intended to have one and a half floor and serve multipurpose functions easily accessible from the hall including sale office, swimming pool, and fitness on the upper mezzanine floor. The architect pushes two corners of the building in order to create dynamic and smooth space and the form of this building is a direct result of the pushing process. In addition, the building was mirrored to create gateway and attract the interest from outside. To make it easy to construct, the building was cut into each 25-centimeter, comprising of 121 sections altogether. Every section is straight line and it is line up consecutively to create smooth curve. Its main roof structure is a simple steel structure connected with 121 pieces of steel fin which function as the wall and ceiling of the building as well.
Ayla Golf Academy & Clubhouse takes inspiration from the natural dunescapes and mountains of the surrounding desert as well as the architectural heritage of the ancient Bedouin. The innovative and organic design of the building forms the iconic core of the Ayla Oasis mixed-use resort development.
This 1,200 square meter building is part of the first phase of a 44 square kilometers leisure development currently under construction in Aqaba, Jordan. The development encompasses residential, hotel and commercial space, all centered around an 18-hole signature golf course. The Clubhouse features retail, dining, bar/lounge, banquet, fitness, and spa components; while the Golf Academy includes retail, dining, and indoor/outdoor swing analysis studio components.
Located in the burgeoning town of Asbury Park, the Asbury Ocean Club, Surfside Resort and Residences is a new mixed-use project on the beachfront. The building design is an homage to the beach house vernacular – simple materials, open, light and airy. The 17-story building will offer sweeping vistas of the Atlantic, and the tower's balconies extend out to accentuate the horizontal quality of the views.
The clubhouse is located at Estancia La Paz, an icon Argentina’s historic 19th century architecture, and one of the country’s main political and social scenarios. Its owner was then President Julio Argentino Roca.
Once on the site, at the end of the golf course’s 18th hole, what most struck us were the piles of cracked and neatly arranged logs. We discovered that these had been silent witnesses of the Estancia’s history, planted more than 100 years ago.
Living in an era of great changes today, people experienced life from poverty to affluence, but the subjective well-being has not been promoted correspondingly. On the contrary, modern people become more restless and uneasy, which is due to the lack of calmness in the heart; and this calmness can be gained only after hustle and bustle fades away. Only when the material is reduced to the essence can it lead to its spiritual level, which is the goal of this project.
The site is situated in a 40-acre coffee estate in Chikkamagalur at the foothills of Mullahangiri Hills, overlooking the valley beyond and the town on Chikmagalur. With a mesmerizing natural backdrop for each built form, the development comprises of a Clubhouse, Single Villas, Twin Villas, a Spa, a restaurant and a Tree house plus other ancillary facilities.
The project deals with the idea of blurring the boundaries between inside and outside, such that the building becomes one with nature. The challenge in this project was to insert built forms into the existing landscape and blurring the edge seamlessly like a graft. The landscape is treated as a visual and tactile element. The built form responds to both the immediate site context as well as to that of the hill station. The surfaces of the buildings are rendered with earthy and rustic materials to accentuate their contemporary forms. Local materials available on site are extensively used to not only help the architecture blend with the context, but also make the project sustainable.
The Sky Clubhouse is a small building facility for residential project in the suburb of Bangkok, Thailand. This project is served as functional building for private housing project, which consists of a small gym on upper floor, interior living and exterior areas for multi-purpose activities.
Surrounded by the forest on the north and the seaside at the east, our project is aimed at being one of the best example of integration in its natural context. Situated on Bodrum peninsula, this summer housing complex needed a Beach Restaurant which would be flexible enough to host a project information centre at first and being built very fast with a minimum of impact in its environment.
