Located at Mariner’s Mile in Newport Beach, 3101 West Coast Highway is a renovation and adaptive reuse of a 4-story Cape Cod-style building from the 1980s into a modern articulation of the marine coastal aesthetic.
Situated on a concrete podium 6’ above West Coast Highway, this project creates a modern aesthetic by removing existing embellishments to enhance the clean and timeless geometry of the gabled roofs, all while staying within compliance with the Coastal Commission’s strict reframing constraints. The existing dormers were demolished to create inset terraces providing tenants with fresh air, natural light, and unobstructed bayside views. Removing floor slabs enable double-height spaces while opening-up bayside gable walls with floor-to-ceiling curtain walls create transparency from the street to the bayside. Tenant spaces were also demised in a north/south direction to provide all tenants with bayside views throughout the building.
Southerleigh Fine Food and Brewery celebrates cross-cultural southern cuisine and craft beer within the former historic Pearl Brewery, an 1890s-era building located in the heart of what is now dubbed the Pearl in San Antonio. Clayton & Little worked to bring the gritty magnificence of the brewhouse back to life while adapting it for contemporary needs.
Originally constructed in 1894, a devastating fire claimed the historic Pearl Bottling House in 2003. Pearl salvaged as much from the rubble as possible, and hired Clayton & Little to rebuild the 13,132-square foot-structure as a modern interpretation of a lost Classical Revival jewel that would serve as a venue for emerging chefs and culinary talent.
Little Caesars Arena is the centerpiece of The District Detroit, a 50‐block, mixed‐use development that includes eight theaters, three professional sports venues and five neighborhoods.

Located in Boryspil, Ukraine, the 170-square-meter pizzeria is an urban fast-food cafe.
The main concept of interior was to preserve the appearance of original materials and focus on the combination of textures. Concrete ceiling, columns, block and brick walls have pristine appearance.
Milan’s tradition arrives in London. Vudafieri-Saverino Partners designed the Italian cafe “Latteria”, just opened in the district of Islington, an area that has seen an authentic renaissance in recent years, thanks also to a flourishing gastronomic scene.
The architecture Studio based in Milan and Shanghai, author of some of Milan’s trendiest restaurants (Spica, Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia, Peck CityLife, Berton, Dry), has brought all its experience to London. Inspired by Milanese culture and style, the restaurant reinterprets in a contemporary key the charm of the old latterias (“dairy stores” in English): places where you can eat genuine, homemade dishes, in an authentic and traditional context.
Fans of the carefully curated Foodhallen venues will be no doubt excited about the latest location opening its doors this autumn in Den Haag. After two intensely popular food courts in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, the most recent venue is located within Haagsche Bluf – a hidden away area of luxury shops and contrasting architectural styles. With an interior designed by Studio Modijefsky, the brand-new hall is a vibrant space to enjoy local people and flavours.
The bright and modern design of the existing food court of the Family hypermarket, for residents and visitors of Perm. A new concept for the dining area, an adapted colormap, formatting of the guest areas.
The food court family has long been familiar to the residents of Perm, an update was needed – to solve the problem, they invited the Russian design studio ALLARTSDESIGN, led by designer Artemy Saranin. It was a reconstruction, without closing the food court itself.
Yongnian Food Market, an old food market in Shanghai.
The road and the food market, which are located in multiple neighborhoods, have forty years of history. People here have become accustomed to them. As time changes, the road needs demolition and the food market over the road also needs upgrading.
We believe that one thing never changes regardless of demolition or transformation, Luwan or Huangpu, enlarging urban space or moving populations, that is, better city better life starts from Expo 2010 will never end.

Located at Niederhafen on the Elbe River between St. Pauli Landungsbrücken and Baumwall in Hamburg, the upgraded 625m river promenade is integral to the modernisation and reinforcement of the city’s flood protection system.
In the aftermath of storm surge floods in February 1962 that caused 315 fatalities and destroyed the homes of 60,000 residents, between 1964 and 1968 Hamburg developed a barrier on the banks of the Elbe at Niederhafen to protect the city against floods up to a height of 7.20m above sea level.
Modern hydrology and computer simulations have since analysed and forecast the city’s flooding characteristics with greater accuracy; calculating that an increase in the barrier height of 0.80m was required to protect Hamburg from future winter storm surges and extreme high tides.
Inspections of Niederhafen’s existing flood barrier in 2006 determined that supporting elements of the existing structure were overburdened and its foundations needed significant reinforcement. At this time, the city of Hamburg organized a competition to design the redeveloped flood barrier and subsequently awarded the project to Zaha Hadid Architects.
