Sattva Galleria is located on Bellary Road, which leads on to the Kempegowda International Airport in Bangalore,India. The Office cum Retail (ORC) building is equidistant from the city center and the airport. The building programme was aimed at mixed-use format, allowing for quality retail on the lower floors and office spaces on the upper floors.
Design on the project started in 2009. At the crux of all design ideas was creation of a simple, functional and responsive building that was not only efficient and sensitive to its surroundings, but also a piece of iconic architecture that reflected the city in spirit.
Located in an uber dense Delhi locale, the corporate office of a national educational institute forms a distinct urban landmark. The building design is both functional and expressive in nature, its lively sculptural facade is rich in simplicity and proportions. The backlit geometrical surfaces transform a mundane building corner on a busy street into a point of interest and heighten the excitement of the onlooker.
BEHF Architects has teamed up with JSWD Architekten to deliver Vienna’s landmark towers THE ICON VIENNA, directly adjacent to Vienna Central Station (Hauptbahnhof).
The complex comprises three high-rise office towers joined by a common plinth. The three buildings appear individual but complement one another and communicate with the neighbouring facilities. The project plays a trailblazing role in the urban fabric and impresses with clarity and accuracy in the orientation of the three high-rise buildings as well as with the articulation of the facades. With its soft shapes, the trio enables an easy flow of visitors between the towers and through the district. Rather than functioning as an individual structure, THE ICON VIENNA opens up to the city and carefully unites the existing buildings in the Belvedere district.
Boult Wade Tennant is a multi-national leading intellectual property firm that was on the hunt for more social and breakout space. Our team set about conducting design workshops to infuse their new space with more modern ways of working.
The new office has brought agile working to the business, creating a more diverse and collaborative environment. The immaculate teapoint features diner-style booths with individual screens providing the opportunity for both formal and informal meetings. The latest technology and modern work practices have defined Boult Wade Tennant’s new office as a pioneer for future designs.
When designing myhive Flexi Offices’ new office space, architects from atelier SAD not only took into account the investor’s requirements for timeless and maximally functional design, but also focused on the economy of the solution and, last but not least, environmental friendliness.
During the reconstruction of similar premises as were these offices in building built 25 years ago, a large amount of materials is usually thrown away. The authors tried to avoid this. The project therefore counted on the use of original constructions and technologies and at the same time, the newly created interior was enriched with natural materials so that over the years it would not lose anything in terms of function and appearance, that it still feels pleasant and unused.
KUAD*, formally known as Kyoto College of Art, was founded in 1977.
The old “Boutenkan”** was the original headquarters in the main campus of the old College, and this new architecture is, in fact, situated in the same location. The old alumni remember clearly, the impressive three-storied building with brown brick exterior that once stood there.
When the College was first opened, the old “Boutenkan” was used as the headquarters mainly by the administration body. But they moved to another building of classrooms as time went on, to be among classrooms. Now, this new building was aimed to be the core center of the current University: first to rebuild “Boutenkan” as the headquarters facility: and second, its well-planned plaza on the rooftop to serve as a focal place for the students to enjoy.
Strathcona Village is a mixed-use industrial and residential development that occupies an entire city block on East Hastings Street in Strathcona, one of Vancouver’s oldest neighbourhoods. The $112M mixed-use development, the first of its kind in North America, opened in July 2018 on time and on budget. The 300,000 square foot building accommodates market housing with much-needed affordable housing and job spaces for light industry.
The development stands as a model of revitalization without displacement in a neighbourhood that strives for meaningful development policies that enable economic inclusion coupled with safe and adequate housing. This model for mixed-use projects that retain light industrial businesses is scalable to other urban centres across the country.

The project’s objective was to propose a presentation space largely glazed and open to the outside, in a place of activities usually occupied by parallelepipedic and opaque buildings. The new Porto Venere showroom, which presents a wide range of interior materials and furniture, should reflect a clean and contemporary image, just like the products sold by the brand.
The place is a suburb of Sendai city in Tohoku Japan. It is a roadside location along a national road. Connecting information and people is thought to be important about the new business. That’s why most shared offices are located in well-accessed areas to create a business community, in Tokyo. As a different approach, we have designed a shared office that moves objects and people, taking advantage of the characteristics of the building and the location. We thought about connecting with the share office function, leaving the warehouse function and the delivery yard function that the building originally had. Users have shared offices that can do everything from business start-up, production, and delivery of goods. The operation of the shared office is a logistics company in Sendai City and supports logistics operations that take into account even overseas expansion. It is a facility that aims to expand into the world from Sendai city in Tohoku Japan, a local city.
This Place is a digital design studio with locations in London, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Seattle. The design for their Seattle workplace in the Fremont neighborhood illustrates This Place’s core work approach, emphasizing collaborative, open and multifunctional spaces. The digital design studio is divided into three interconnected zones: a collective open workspace at the core that encourages focus, with semi-private project breakout spaces to encourage collaboration and multi-purpose social areas radiating from it and ringing the perimeter. A seamless adjacency between the three zones reflects This Place’s interest in cultivating an open-ended creative work environment.
