The new €37.5m (£27.6m) Transfer Terminal at Arnhem Central Station in the Netherlands has now completed.
The station is the result of an ambitious 20-year project – masterplanned by UNStudio – to redevelop the wider station area; the largest post-war development in Arnhem. Backed by the Dutch government, this transfer hub rewrites the rulebook on train stations and is the most complex of its type in Europe. The station will become the new ‘front door’ of the city, embracing the spirit of travel, and is expected to establish Arnhem as an important node between Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. The new terminal houses commercial areas, and a conference centre and provides links to the nearby office plaza, city centre, underground parking garage and the Park Sonsbeek. The area around the station will become a place in of itself, with 160,000m2 of offices, shops and a cinema complex.
The project was designed in a way that the private collection of vintage cars are kept in a cloistered environment, with no natural ventilation so that the cars are preserved. The designated location is a 20K m2 area in the natural beauty of Indaiatuba city, in Sao Paulo countryside.
The project was bounded by the metallic structure, crossing the 20 meters central opening, without any central columns, which resulted in the distinct “w” shaped beams.
The architecture firms of LAN, Abinal & Ropars and Atelier Stéphane Fernandez deliver the new Polaris district in Nantes
This 1.5-hectare lot (3.70658 acres), facing the Loire River and the former site of the Brossette Company’s warehouses, is now home to six new, mixed-use buildings, one of which is a panoramic 18-story tower.
Polaris is the fruit of collaborative design effort with LAN originating the master plan and the main urban principles governing the development. They also were the lead architecture firm working with Abinal et Ropars and Atelier Stéphane Fernandez.

The house originally was commissioned in 1925 by a young engineer for his own family. The Tyrolese architect Siegfried Mazagg designed a masterpiece one of a few only as his life unfortunately was ended early by a car accident when he was only 30 years of age. The building has been granted built heritage of the highest grade some ten years ago.

The firm Béal & Blanckaert architectes urbanistes recently delivered new offices in Lille’s burgeoning district of Lomme-EuraTechnologies.
This project is located around the edges of the water garden in the ZAC (joint development zone) Rives de la Haute Deûle. It extends from the refurbished Le Blan-Lafont factory and the Hegel quay, which runs along the Haute Deûle Canal. The quality of the site is the fact of associating the monumentality of the framing of the Le Blan-Lafont factory with the poetic landscape of the water garden.
Bostonbased architecture studio French 2D was commissioned to create a graphic facade to wrap an existing garage structure in Kendall Square. The studio sought to design a pattern that could transform and speak across scales, reflecting the location of the project between a residential neighborhood and the rapidly growing technology hub of Kendall Square.
The resulting largescale graphic scrim, measuring 26,000 square feet, employs a tensionframe and mesh fabric facade system by Facid North America, and was engineered and installed by Design Communications, Ltd. Its pattern is a play on architectural detail and shadow effects that are meant to swirl, drift, and articulate into 'characters' along the garage's long side, blurring and expanding the boundaries of twodimensional and threedimensional perception. The design manifests as a hybrid between largescale canvas and functional façade.
A brand new, single-story gem, consciously crafted for function and livability with a focus on architectural details located at 2314 Rue Adriane in La Jolla. Rue Adriane offers a sophisticated, highly curated new century modern white-water ocean view dwelling.
Located on a large, flat cul-de-sac lot with 180 degree white-water ocean views, the home features; 2,686SF interior living space / lot size of 12,095SF (0.29 acres) / 4BR / 3.5BA, including a guest suite with private entrance / 2-car garage / ~600SF of covered outdoor living space / ~750SF deck with a heated infinity pool.
The building site is situated in Mühlviertel, a region north of Upper Austria, on the edge of a small settlement. The origin of the river Kleine Rodl isn't far off and the location offers a view of hills, woods and fields. The concept for RUNDHERUM is based on a well preserved building structure. The outer walls of the solid construction remained and function as a core, the additional space was built all around that core, made out of wood and glass. The saddle roof has been removed, die garage got demolished, some openings has been expanded or closed. The inner structure remained and was merged with a second spacial layer. The new outer wall sets the rhythm: Cabinet wall, washbasin and a bathtub with a panoramic view are completing the bedroom. Two dining areas, one facing south-east, the other facing south-west, and its terrace inbetween are bordering the south-faced side of the house. The floor space got doubled from nearly 70 to around 150 square meters and functions as a new open spacial continuum. There are no access areas, all are living areas.
A hug is a type of shelter that provides the security and comfort that is born in the contact of two bodies as a sign of affection. EFE went a few steps beyond the symbolic meaning, to imagine a space that might provide, in addition to that heat, the physical form of a hug.
Casa Roca was born from that visual inspiration. Its curved skin of exposed concrete surrounds the three sides of the construction and offers a cozy privacy in its interior spaces. Windows appear from this solid skin giving birth to beautiful views into the nearby mountains.
On the edge of the forest on the north, above the meadow on the slope toward south, with the beautiful view over the Danube River and the Klosterneuburg Abbey, all over to City of Vienna, this is the site where the house called “Widescreen” found her place.
Built for one big family, with the very special places for everybody needs, with two fire places and only one TV, and with an open view to the landscape from all rooms and spaces.
