The project is a contemporary focus on office design, located in West London, United Kingdom.

Retail spaces are evolving into lifestyle complexes that are inspiring, diversified and immersive to surround visitors with a curated experience to fulfil various lifestyle and social needs. Chengdu’s Xichen Paradise Walk in China, designed by LWK + PARTNERS, encourages social interaction and community life with high transparency and accessibility to bring together people, their neighbourhoods and nature. It is pilot project of the third-generation Paradise Walk brand, setting a new benchmark for future projects.
Xichen Paradise Walk is the retail component of an integrated complex in the heart of west Chengdu, bookended by an office tower and a serviced apartment tower also designed by LWK + PARTNERS and adjacent to the residential component. The architectural form features an interplay of geometric shapes, creating an iconic beacon-like façade. Addressing an important traffic intersection to the south west, the corresponding elevation features an urban-scale shop window designed for the ever-changing, large-scale installations and seasonal contents.
An office is a place unlikely to seek change. Despite the fact that it is where we spend most of the day, most office spaces are focused on functionality rather than value. For instance, residential space emphasizes communication between family members. Hence, nearly every home has a living room in the center which connects to the other parts of the house. Wherever you go, you must pass through the living room where you may naturally encounter other family members. On the other hand, a commercial space is designed to deliver the value of brand identity. Spatial experience of brand value and philosophy enables customers to become attached to the brand, thereby enhancing sustainability. Then what value should be depicted in office space?
The new offices of the Côte Ouest event agency are located in the former garage of the Bordeaux newspaper Sud Ouest. They are organized in several subspaces that we have linked by a large mesh generating various uses. This square mesh in wooden cleats incorporates storage, displays, decoration, plants and retractable workstations for occasional use.
In their design for the new head office and production site for Kirsch Pharma HealthCare GmbH in Wedemark, Germany, SAOTA rethinks the often underwhelming and generic industrial prototype.
The site of German‐based Kirsch Pharma HealthCare’s new factory and headquarters in Wedemark, Germany, is a somewhat anonymous industrial zone without distinctive contextual cues. South African‐based architectural firm SAOTA approached the project with the understanding that a meaningful architectural response to this environment would require a building that stood as a sculptural object in the landscape, making a strong architectural statement that imparted a sense of presence and identity in its own right.

“Located as a central piece in the backdrop of the workplace and physically connected to the entrance, the Hatted Roof is a central magnet that attracts employees to come together, to use the pantry cafe and meeting room that it creates, and heightens the sociable atmosphere in the workplace.” – Lorène Faure & Kenny Kinugasa-Tsui, co-founders of Bean Buro.
Bean Buro was tasked with designing a new workplace for Admango, an advertising and advertisement monitoring company in Hong Kong. The area is 2,950sqft (274sqm), located in an office block on Queen’s Road East in the busy disctrict of Wanchai. The brief was to create a new, fresh, and comfortable workplace for the company employees, many of whom work long hours. The previous office space was felt tired and dated, with conventional work cubicles that segregated individuals and did not provide synergy between the company and its employees. Thus it was important for the new workplace to engage with its employees through means of comfort, interests, aesthetics, materiality, to nurture a better company culture and to improve employees retention. The project would have limited budget and time, hence it was important to provide a highly cost effective solution, with innovative construction methods to cut down on site works and duration. Branding services was required for the company business cards, to create a holistic identity with its new workplace.
The municipality of Machelen needs new workshop and office spaces, replacing different buildings spread over the outskirts of the city. The building should include dressing rooms, a cafetaria and an outpost for the Red Cross. The construction of the building finalizes the administrative reorganization of the municipality, merging and professionalizing all municipal departments. The compact building sets itself at the center of the site. This allows for a circulation loop that connects both the building and the surrounding car park in the most efficient way. The plinth is topped with a sloping roof, thereby optimizing the view on the site from the offices on the first floor. Two terraces on the first floor create a double height in the warehouses below, optimizing the handling of bigger goods. As the building gets a predominantly industrial function, it is conceived as a steel skeleton structure with load-bearing panels lining both facade and sloping roof, resulting in a sculptural ensemble of steel panels, creating a different coloring and shading according to the time of day.
