Set within Wembley Park, London, Flanagan Lawrence’s Alto development is a large-scale residential development for Quintain. Inspired by the adjacent stadium’s leading-edge design, the development forms a key part of one of the UK’s most ambitious regeneration projects. Quintain is transforming what was a derelict brownfield site into a dynamic mixed-use neighbourhood located just 12 minutes from Central London.
Recently named Development of the Year at the 2018 RESI Awards, the Alto development has been designed as part of Quintain’s larger masterplan for the 85 acre site, which also delivers 42 acres of public realm, creating an urban oasis with pockets of green and open space. Seamlessly integrated public realm is a key feature of the scheme, which includes Elvin Gardens, and adjacent pocket parks.
The residential high-rise building in the most central Viennese urban development area at Nordbahnhof is already the second building block that AllesWirdGut is setting in this district. With clever arrangement and shaping, the building with around 340 residential units is larger than it looks. The result is a varied, slim form, which creates space and connects the high-rise with the city and the adjacent park.
This student focused multifamily project occupies a complex Ozark site adjacent to the University of Arkansas in Downtown Fayetteville. Extensive site topography defines the building characteristics in stepping massive forms and angular geometries that are the resultant of Center Street diagonally slicing the hillside, which creates an unusual trapezoidal block. These native characteristics drove the architectural concepts and delivered in built form a stark contrast to the most normative of all student-housing typologies: the Texas Donut. We argue that the Arkansas Bear Claw is a more adept model of dense multifamily living.
With their design of the Perlach Plaza, AlleswirdGut provide an important puzzle stone in the urban development of the new “KulturQuadrat” quarter on Munich’s Hanns Seidel Square. An urban mixed use of retail and service businesses, restaurants, residential units, and a hotel make Perlach Plaza the calling card of the new Neuperlach neighborhood.
At the heart of the master plan is a roughly 5,000 square meter central park enclosed, and shielded, by buildings. On a total gross floor area of 50,000 square meters, high-quality usable floor space is being developed in the mixed-used complex of Perlach Plaza with direct connection to the subway system, the cultural center on the north side, and the park through a transit floor.

The apartment plot is located in a low rise residential district between a railway extending approximately 11 meters and a residential road extending 4 meters.
With maximum height limits of 10m and minimum living room area of 25 square meters in mind, we drew up a plan. With the theme being the environmental impact statements of low rise housing neighborhoods, we took into consideration a pleasant living environment and high earnings of low rise residential areas.

The apartment buildings on Tjuvholmen has a unique location with a panoramic view to the Oslo Fjord.
The design and planning are conceived in an effort to link each apartment as much as possible to the fjord landscape. The openings in the facades, the balconies and the protrusions have been designed in relation to the trajectory of the sun and the surrounding landscape. This is demonstrated in the way the staggered facades move as a leitmotiv in a regular pulse as each apartment opens to the fjord and the view.
