The facade and interior design of the first flagship store of The Ginza in Japan, a subsidiary of Shiseido. The facility serves as a multipurpose space with the shop space on the first floor, a membership lounge on the second floor, and an event space in the basement.
Much alike their basic skin care products―the signature products of The Ginza, the aim was to create a place where visitors rediscover their true beauty, reflecting themselves in “mirrors” applied in various forms within the facility.
The Administration of Mesola has shown the need to intervene on the Estense Castle with a restoration project in order to fit out transformable spaces for exhibitions and events. The Administration has nominated the intervention at the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism and has obtained financing in the Inter-provincial Intervention Project No. 30 called Ducato Estense (implemented in the Interministerial program “Piano Stralcio _ Cultura e Turismo” Fund for Development and Cohesion _ FSC 2014-2020.).
MVRDV´s “KoolKiel” Will Redevelop a City Block Using a Progressive Approach to Participation and Flexibility
MVRDV has been selected as the designer of a 65,000-square-metre mixed-use complex that will redevelop a post-industrial site in Kiel, Germany. The proposal, which includes a hotel, offices, residences, commercial space, and an event space, makes use of a flexible design system, rather than a fixed and unchangeable plan, allowing the design to adapt easily to the needs and desires of the community as the design development progresses.
Located in southern China’s Guangdong province, on the Zhu Jiang (Pearl River) estuary, the LN Garden is part of the Nansha Seaside Park. The hotel has a surface of 61068 m2 and 365 rooms. The building forms a unique entity with the surrounding landscape – the shaded and sunny elements of the design (water, lawns and paved surfaces) rhythmically form the spatial dynamics. The main public space of the hotel has a view to the beautiful bay to the west and Seaside Park on the east side of the hotel. Two vertical lobbies and a dominant water feature allow for a gentle flow of space. The transition between outdoor areas and interior spaces is softened by the use of exterior vegetation throughout the lobby.
In 2011 one of Denmark’s most iconic culture venues burnt to the ground. Since 1938, the K.B. Hall has been a driving force behind some of the most significant concerts and events in Copenhagen. Now the hall will be revived in a contemporary architectural interpretation based on three principles: the Gable, the Disk and the Arch. The Gable is made of glass that open up the hall’s interior to create a connection between the life of the hall and the surrounding area. The Gable is part of a journey through the urban spaces of Copenhagen, where the hall’s visitors reach their destination upon entering the foyer. In the Disk, on the first floor, bars and lounges are placed around the concert hall under the Arch. The Arch is the large unifying structure that recreates the K.B. hall’s iconic look. Inside, the balconies, balustrades, bars and fittings will all have historical references. The new flexible architecture, the acoustics and technical solutions all fulfil the requirements for a contemporary event venue.
A crown jewel of the Jack Daniel Distillery grounds, the house (one of the first buildings seen by visitors approaching Lynchburg) was originally commissioned by Lem Motlow, second in a line of proprietors who have consistently delivered the best Tennessee whiskeys available.
With a keen sensitivity to the history of this 1930’s Georgian home and its role at the distillery, the reconstruction maintains the residential scale and character of Lem’s original creation. This was accomplished through careful reinvention of the interior to bring together local Jack Daniel’s hosts and enthusiasts from near and far in an environment that immerses guests in the unique form of hospitality that the brand is so well known for.
The community center of Cambury is a building by and for the local low-income community of Cambury, built as a social development project. The project, started in 2004 (first part of the center) , is still active in 2018 (community bakery) and is run by the local community members in the form of a cooperative and local association.
While CRU! in the form of the bamboostic-project offered technical assitance and finances to the building, the community decided all of the content and program of the building and its different parts built in different times over the last 10 years. The community decided that the first building was to be a community center to hold gatherings, while following years other parts such as a computer-room, library, pré-school, cooperative building-instruments storage room, surfboard storage room, association-office and last completed a community bakery.
The X-Room is a concept room inside TED burger and lobster. It is an open space complementary to the restaurant project. The room is a secret club, a bar, an event and exhibition space: a true cultural and artistic venue. The design of the space is inspired by the Eighties, and combines different elements: elegant and refined mirror cladding, velvet upholstered seatings and curtains are apposed with rough textures of construction materials voluntarily left unfinished. Grey walls are a perfect support for the colored lighting effects which continuously change the mood and atmosphere of the room.
MVRDV Breaks Ground on its First US Project, a Colourful 22-Storey “Vertical Village” in Manhattan’s Washington Heights
MVRDV breaks ground today on Radio Tower & Hotel, a 21,800-square-metre mixed-use high rise located at 2420 Amsterdam Avenue in the Washington Heights area in Northern Manhattan. The 22-storey building, which is MVRDV’s first major project in the United States, combines hotel, retail, and office functions in vibrantly stacked blocks, reflecting the vivacious character of the neighbourhood and setting a direction for the future development of the area. Completion of the building is expected in 2021.

The aim of the competition is to propose new exhibition spaces for the Prague Congress Centre (KCP), that would be used for different purposes, such as conventions, concerts and other social events.
An important condition will be the modernisation – extension – of the convention facilities that will fully meet the high demands of the organising events. The proposal should aim to create a contemporary added value to a building belonging to the architectural heritage of the 1970 ́s. A key aspect therefore will be the connection between the proposed extension and the existing KCP building.
