The port of La Savina is the main point of access to Formentera island. Its important geographical location makes it the border between an urban area, the Mediterranean Sea and a saltwater lake which forms part of Ses Salines Natural Park. Giving protection to the open sea, this lake has traditionally been used as a natural harbor to anchor small fishing boats. And, currently, the administration has deemed it suitable to house the municipal sailing school as well as other nautical sports and activities.
The functional program offered a duality (classrooms + offices versus workshop + dressing rooms) that has divided the volumetry into two independent parts aligning the first one with Almadrava Street and the second one with the passage of Balandra. At the intersection of both streets, the building offers an empty space with its visual permeability that incorporates the main access to the equipment. Between the two described volumes, there is a structure that provides a chill-out zone in the shadow and with its oblique geometry invites to enjoy the amazing views opening towards Estany des Peix.
Ministry of Sound are an entertainment giant founded in 1991. This project marks a new business venture for the Ministry of Sound brand. Initially, they wanted to construct an exclusive co-working space which would inspire & encourage collaboration among professionals. Ministry of Sound wanted to establish a space which was both unique & modern in it’s design, whilst reflecting brand identity & company culture at the core of the space. Throughout the project’s 16 weeks duration, multiple design workshops were hosted for Ministry of Sound, allowing our designers to develop visual concepts & grasp a deeper understanding of the Ministry brand, enabling this to be reflected throughout the design.
When Exalt—a non-profit that supports teenagers who have become involved in the justice system—relocated their headquarters to Lower Manhattan, the organization hired CIVILVN to transform a cramped space in a 1901 office tower into a flexible and open facility that would empower participants to succeed in educational and professional environments.
To make the most out of the 4,000-square-foot space, CIVILIVN designed the new headquarters to seamlessly convert between an office and a classroom, tripling Exalt’s operational capabilities and helping the non-profit expand its reach to better serve youth across all five boroughs.
By applying Alberti’s Renaissance maxim to an industrial building that the house is a small city and a city a large house, an attempt has been made to create a working space in which the perception is that of a strongly anthropocentric system. The FMTS Group project starts precisely on the basis of the pre-existence of a prefabricated box among the many in the industrial suburbs of Campania, originally built as an industrial factory and apparently defined and binding. In the service sector, Eisenman’s design concepts “structure, function and technique” can be compared with those of “product, process and production system” dear to the world of industry. In this project, the product, if product can be talked about, is varied between personnel trained in skills required by the market, in training packages, with a process of practical training on the one hand, in an innovative and advanced high gastronomy school and on the other corporate training with a spin-off process, management training and “production system”. The diversity and complexity of human-oriented spaces, tools and technologies must guarantee the conditions of wellbeing in which the attitudes and enthusiasm of the groups are refined.
The L05 project required workspace for a development team, which created a challenge for RMJM Serbia as their goal was to deliver a space that was malleable to meet the needs of an office whose tasks vary from day-to-day. At the same time, they were tasked with giving the space character and reflecting the culture of Belgrade.
After 5 years of design and construction, ODA New York has completed Denizen Bushwick, 1.2 Million SF residential wonderland featuring 911 apartments, 20% affordable housing units, 15 mega-murals, 100,000 SF of outdoor space and a full suite of curated amenities.

Denizen is welcoming and inclusive of the community around it, while providing a sense of ownership and personalization for the people living there. In areas of rising urban density, ODA is working to create transparency and belonging through art, public space and community involvement.
A light filled space overlooking the centre of Moscow was designed to accommodate a small finance company. The project called for closed compact offices as opposed to an open plan layout.
The entire glazed perimeter was given over to individual rooms, while the central area became an informal meeting space.
Light glass partitions provide visual continuity and compositional rhythm, allowing the space to be perceived as a whole. The central lounge area is delineated with sculptural accents, such as a chrome-plated screen,marble and walnut planters with succulents.
Taking over a non-descript high-rise building in central Hanoi, G8A propose to stack four horizontal agoras in order to create a fresh interconnected co-working typology. Each platform linked by a vertical chasm of light creating a visual connection and common sensitivity between the different floors.
Austin based Specht Architects partnered with STG Design and Novo Construction, designs Indeed.com’s new Austin HQ. “Indeed’s newest Austin hub expresses a new visual identity for the company – one centered around an honest expression of the company’s values, while also incorporating signature elements that are to be deployed throughout Indeed’s other worldwide offices,” says Scott Specht, founder Specht Architects. “ It is modern, minimal, and simple, yet infused with warm materials and spaces for a multitude of ways of working and recharging.”
Montreal’s first “smart vertical community,” this thoroughly modern, mixed-use megaproject features a luxury hotel, condo and rental units, offices, restaurants, boutiques and large public spaces linked to a major park. In harmony with its pluralistic context, it offers varying degrees of permeability with its surroundings, creating spatial moments based on elevation and building depth.
On a pedestrian scale, Humaniti will frame a new public plaza and Place Jean-Paul-Riopelle, whose iconic art centers a new urban room. On a district scale, there is powerful dialogue with the complex’s four distinct neighborhoods: Old Montreal, Downtown, the International Quarter and Quartier des spectacles. On a metropolitan scale, upper levels define a wider urban room framed by Humaniti, Mount Royal and the St. Lawrence River.
