Theurl, the East Tyrolean manufacturer of timber products, has built a new facility for the production of cross-laminated timber (CLT) elements on a site covering around 12.5 hectares in Carinthia. Theurl’s third plant is designed to be able to produce around 100,000 m³ of cross-laminated timber for the trans-regional market every year. The integrated design of both phases – high-tech production plant and office building – was the work of ATP architects engineers, Innsbruck. A special feature of the project was that the buildings built in Phase 1 produced the timber elements used in the buildings built in Phase 2. This creates a true sense of identity for the employees working in the office building, because they are surrounded every day by the materials that they produce in-house.
Our interior design for Fitness 22, a company that builds health and fitness apps, reflects the main values of this closed-knitted company, which is dedicated to advanced technology and wellness.
To keep the space cozy and personal, while highlighting the work of the company, we combined home-like elements with wellness and sports motifs. The main kitchen has a “just like home” feeling; the lounges are comfortable and inviting; and sports-inspired graphic elements created by Studio Luka, including a climbing wall, decorate walls and offices.
This project is an office building situated close to JR Yotsuya Station and Shinjuku-Dori Street. The site is a perfect location: its northwest side connected to the street and the east side facing a temple, thus the open view from the building is assured semipermanently. This is one of the ESCALIER series, continued from its predecessor ESCALIER Gobancho.
The architect secures three openings by lay-outing the elevator core to the southwest side. Using the maximum of a sky factor, the volumes of each floor are shifted to back and forth or right and left, so that every floor is recognized as an individual rental space while the balcony becoming as a green intermediate space between the office and the city environment. Further, the architect has introduced the idea to connect the balcony in the front side and that of the back side by a staircase starting from the ground level, and these balconies are arranged at the northeast side of the building. The connected balconies encourage an active communication between the upper floor and the lower floor, while articulating the relation and the continuity to the city.

Setting apart the new J&T headquarters from the neighbouring buildings is its appearance – inside and out.
The world of finance is made up of various elements that need to function and fit together flawlessly. The unbroken pattern of the façade mirrors this world.
The design of the façade is a juxtaposition of technological rationality and irregularity an approach inspired by the works of important abstract painters and sculptors. The clear right angles are also repeated in the general layout of the interior. The original graphic design of the directional signs inside the building underscore this orthogonality. The design of the font and symbols as well as the linear geometry of the lighting are based on the façade’s distinct, graphic pattern.
Two buildings with amenities for the neighbourhood play the central part in the development of the Albertpool in Vorst (Brussels).

Via Mazzini 9 opens its doors this 15 March, in the heart of Milan’s lively tourist centre. Few steps away from the Duomo, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, Palazzo Reale and Scala Theatre, the building is located close to dynamic retail streets and is served by a wide choice of public transport, thus benefiting from exceptional accessibility. A prestigious and vibrant location in the city, which was a natural and strategic choice for WeWork. Muhannad Al Salhi, General Manager of WeWork Italy and Spain discloses: “Opening of a new WeWork location always starts with our future members in front mind – from thinking about how the design of spaces will inspire community and innovation, to the location of the building. One of our strengths is our always prime city centre locations, and Via Mazzini 9 reflects this strategy, while also representing great opportunities from a business perspective. With its excellent transport links and thriving neighborhood, we are betting on attracting more and more companies to an area which so far has a powerful touristic and retail aura, yet whose potential for corporations has not been fully tapped.”
