The project-site is located on a territory along the train tracks next to the Rennes main station and forms part of the EuroRennes development. The Beaumont site forms part of the master plan by the Parisian office FGP by Philippe Gazeau and Louis Paillard and Agence Ter. The program contains approximately 25.000 m2 of development for offices, retail, housing and an underground parking garage.
Placed on a triangular plot on the outskirts of a small town, the house is surrounded by lands of mixed uses. A small orchard of fruit trees borders it on the one side, a small dirt road on another and a street in front of the main facade.
The building is presented as a heavy body built in stone, adapted to the geometry of the plot. A small volume rests above it creating a mezzanine inside. The building reinterprets the essence of traditional masonry great thick stone walls, which solidly protects the domestic space.
The Museum Garage is located in the Miami Design District, a neighborhood dedicated to innovative art, design and architecture. Featuring the work of five designers, the seven-story mixed-use structure will feature ground-floor retail spaces and capacity for 800 vehicles.
For the project, in 2015, Design District developer Craig Robins, commissioned architect and curator Terence Riley to develop the concept for Museum Garage. WORKac, J. Mayer H., Clavel Arquitectos, Nicolas Buffe were selected to create the garage’s facades, along with Riley’s own architectural firm K/R (Keenen/Riley), with TimHaahs serving as the architect-of-the-record.

The LD residence is situated in Nova Lima, a mountanious town neighbour to Belo Horizonte, Brasil. The building site has an average 34 degrees transversal inclination and 12 degrees in the longitudinal direction, with 3400 square meters.
By situating the main part of the residence in the longitutinal direction, it was possible to create a more harmonious implantation on the site, thus avoidind giant walls and disproportionate structures, which is quite common in the neighbourhood.
Star Metals Residences is located in a neighborhood rapidly evolving from its industrial past through an influx of vibrant youthful energy. The 9-story building, with 409 multi-family rental apartments, capitalizes on this momentum through a series of socially targeted amenities including a rooftop pool and terrace, clubroom, lounge, bar, resident library, theater, bocce court, game room, fitness center, yoga studio, and community garden with greenhouse. Ground floor retail will provide residents access to additional future amenities. A central parking garage includes electric-car charging stations, bike storage, and resident storage units. The apartment units will feature modern appliances, private balconies, and large windows.
The Park is a six-story hybrid structure, which merges a 441-space parking garage with 27,000-square-feet of street-level retail. Located in the booming Warehouse District of downtown New Orleans, The Park captures the aesthetic rigor of the existing 19th century warehouses, while rethinking this overly conventional building typology and its construction methods. At 205,000-square-feet, The Park blends in and adapts to an evolving hub of urban activity, while tastefully preserving the style of the surrounding historic neighborhood.
Powerhouse Company creates three iconic towers in Leiden
The sustainable residential towers for the people of Leiden, The Netherlands will be built along the Willem de Zwijgerlaan. The design consists of a unique mix of approximately 560 apartments—ranging from 45 to 200 m2—including 25% social housing. The ambitious project will not only provide a diverse range of housing for a multigenerational population, but also express the future of sustainable urbanization in the city of Leiden.
The starting point of this project was the analysis of the feasibility of maintaining the original construction in the lot, considering a deep reform, or the complete demolition to build a new residency.
After studying the brief desired by the future residents, the implantation of the old house and the analysis of the structural system of the existing construction that did not allow great interventions, we concluded that we would achieve a better result considering the conception of a new residence.

This ground-up modern house will serve as the family home for an “empty nest” couple, and will be adapted to their new lifestyle. It will take the place of a suburban “box” the Owners had lived in for decades. In addition to living spaces, shared office, and in-house gym, the home will be spacious enough for overnight guests to have their own suite. In the future, it will offer temporary residence for grown children, and eventually grandchildren.
The main challenge for this 3 apartment’s project was a combination of an ambitious architectural program and a plot with limited dimensions. The 106 sq m of land were maximized to have all the necessary services for the building inhabitants.
Concrete frame was chosen as construction system to avoid the use of columns, creating more spacious areas. Mobile wooden panels were used for the interiors of each apartment to open or close both integrating and isolating the spaces creating suitable environments for the different activities.
