Located at the intersection of St. Leonard and Piątkowska Streets, the building designed by Easst Architects has both commercial and residential function. It was built on a degraded space that had previously been a parking lot for years. In the design assumptions, when thinking about the body of the building, it was crucial to adjust it to the already existing building which has a rather scattered façade and an asymmetrical gable roof. Therefore, we decided to create steep roofs broken with modern dormers. This combination of a traditional roof with a modern façade elements resulted in establishing a dialogue with the existing building. As the result, the building also changes with the angle of observation and its view becomes unobvious.
Addressing the complexities brought by ageing populations is an increasingly critical issue across the globe. According to the United Nations’ World Population Prospects 2019, one in six people in the world will be over age 65 by 2050, up from one in 11 in 2019. In larger cities, this expanding cohort has become conscious of their own distinctive needs in pursuing a better quality of life after retirement. Dedicated senior housing has emerged as a preferable approach for catering this growing demand.
Superimpose breaks with conventional residential planning in Chinese industrial hinterland by creating three towers that reshape the living community for the post 80’s generation.
Superimpose designed three white sculptural residential loft apartment towers for the so-called Y-generation, focused on quality of life and breaking with the conventional residential development typology. Within months, all apartments were sold for 160% of the surrounding residential market value. The towers are situated on top of a non-gated and community orientated retail village and integrated as part of the Changzhi CBD masterplan, also designed by Superimpose.
Aedas, SWA, BPI and CAADI were specially invited to design the architecture, landscape, lighting and interior of Focus Hangzhou, respectively, to jointly create a landmark complex, one of the landmarks for the 2022 Olympic Games, and a new name card of Hangzhou. As one of the world’s top ten architecture firms, Aedas is the only design agency that combines international research, regional culture and global design in the world. It is rooted both locally and worldwide to provide diverse and creative design works.
Nestling in the hollow of a meander of the river Sorne, the building folds to fit the contours of the environment: along the river wide terraces open onto the plant world induced by hydrology; to the north the small volume is in line with the continuity of the existing built landscape. At the heart of this hybrid form is an open courtyard for the institution’s senior citizens. The horizontal distributions benefit from the light provided by this centrality and allow quality pathways to reach one’s private domestic space, while serving as a place of reference and location.

The residential project Tetris Hall consists of two 25 – storey towers which are connected by a bridge at the roof level. The project has been developed on a dense site in the prestige business district of central Kiev. The site benefits from close proximity to major cultural and entertainment venues and all the amenities which lie within walking distance. The magnificent panoramic views from each apartment and the modern lifestyle offered by the building’s unmatched private amenities, in combination with the easy access to the center of Kiev, make the Tetris Hall a highly desirable destination for residents and visitors.
Construction has started on MVRDV’s 23-storey mixed-use building at Mission Rock in San Francisco. The project is one of four buildings in Phase 1 of a multi-phase masterplan developed by the San Francisco Giants and Tishman Speyer. It is designed as part of a collaborative design process, with four architecture firms designing their plot in conversation with the other three offices. Alongside the MVRDV project, the masterplan also includes designs by the internationally renowned architecture firms Studio Gang, Henning Larsen, and WORKac.
Residential complex “Respublika” is the largest residential project in the country. The total area will be more than 247 acres. In 2019, the first phase of construction completed. The whole district will be built into more than 10 phases overall.
The basic principles adopted for the development of the 1st phase of the project: midrise buildings, urban block planning, separation of pedestrian zones and vehicles, closed courtyards – open streets. Urban blocks are not classical quadrangular, but pentagonal forms a slightly more lively and unpredictable space. There are more than 40 options of planning solutions realized in the first phase based on our standard of PRO-apartments.
