Make Architects has completed work on its London Wall Place project, a new commercial scheme offering the largest set of public gardens developed in the City of London since the post-war brutalist Barbican estate on behalf of Brookfield Properties and Oxford Properties.
The scheme comprises two office buildings surrounded by extensive public realm including a series of public gardens and reimagined elevated pedestrian walkways to link the neighbouring Barbican with the City of London.
The Arbour proposes to be the hinge of the George Brown College Waterfront campus. The building links the School of Design, the Daphne Cockwell building, and upcoming Innovation Center while also serving as the gateway to future development. Located at the junction of the urban grid and nature’s grid, the Arbour interlaces both to boldly respond to the site’s conditions.
Cutting a diagonal across the site from top to bottom, the Arbour organizes itself around the available daylight on site. Inside, an escalating atrium serves as the extension of the public realm and brings light deep into the building’s floorplate. Around this core, a staggered truss system organizes the different spaces in an efficient and adjustable way. The trusses create resilient and generous spaces using mass timber construction.
Cala Esmeralda Inturotel in Cala D’Or beach Mallorca overhauled with traditional island materials
The hotel lies in the beautiful Balearic gem of Cala D’Or, and overlooks the nearby Cala Esmeralda beach. This area is located south east of the island and is known for its famous port that runs along the Cala Llonda. Al this area is surrounded by beautiful wooded creeks and turquoise waters.
For this project and taking into account the history of the building and the natural surroundings, we decided to realize a modest intervention, bringing the building back to its origins and restoring its interiors with a contemporary style overhauled with the islands traditional materials.

JGMA’s design strategy for the Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing Center utilizes building transparency to showcase machines, equipment, and products integral to the learning objectives of the colleges as well as provide a visual connection to the surrounding West Lawn community. The seamless fluidity to the building’s form was inspired by the constant and linear flow of the manufacturing process. The building spans the main thoroughfare of 76th Street with a strong industrial bridge that links the south and north campus of Richard J. Daley College.

SPACEMEN were commissioned to design an experiential centre for a first-of-its-kind premium lifestyle consultant and its ultra exclusive members-only club lounge. Due to the high profile of the clubs’ clientele an emphasis on discripency was of high importance.
Just like the smooth stroke of a calligraphy brush in motion, the entire flow of the space was designed so that clients can be swiftly guided upon arrival into their designated appointment areas and rooms. Transitioning between space to space will feel effortless and seamless.
Moors have always been mystical places full of secrets and drifting moods. The specific characteristic of such a genius loci served as the central design inspiration for noa*’s (network of architecture) project, which entailed the redesign and extension of the former “Moarhof” hotel at the end of the Valser valley, which is surrounded by moorland at about 1,300m altitude.
The result of this mystical transformation is the 4-star-S Hotel “Silena”. With its’ swamp-coloured, organically angular and integration into the landscape, it appears to be growing out of the unstable ground as a place of tranquillity, strength and soul, designed down to the smallest detail. The surrounding archaic nature as well as the southeast-asian touch of the interior and the extensive accompanying program, which was specially requested by the client, were the decisive factors for the final outcome.
