Studio MEMM has recently completed the project for Espaço Poétika, an artistic production company specialized on theater plays, events, short and feature films in São Paulo, Brazil. Studio MEMM principal Marcelo Macedo says the premise of this project was the spatial versatility with predominance of wood and open ceiling elements.
The space was designed to allow theater productions and film productions to take place in its various stages, from the creative moment, through meetings with teams involved until the acting phase, when eadings occur and artists and directors can rehearse and feed the creative process at Poétika.
The project is a co-working space located in Shenzhen, which was design by X+LIVING. The goal was to create a space which can accommodate multiple companies and give full play to the employees' individuality, and let “co-working” no longer be just a synonym for “low-cost”.
The chief designer, Li Xiang, integrated artistic aesthetics and interesting visual effects into the four-storey space, and differentiated the tone and style of each floor based on functions.
1F serves as the lobby and reception area, with two entrances. The main area of the lobby on the south side functions as the main entrance, from which people can reach the workspace, while the north area features an entrance leading to the dining space and a large striking installation resembling a hot-air balloon.

On June 19th, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM), Architectus, and Dexus Property Group, along with Australian civic and business leaders, marked the the completion and opening of 100 Mount Street, a 39-story glass-enclosed mixed-use tower in the heart of North Sydney’s Central Business District.
The design for 100 Mount was inspired by Sydney’s rich architectural landscape and shaped by SOM’s legacy of innovation in architecture and engineering worldwide. Evocative of SOM’s design for the John Hancock Center, 100 Mount is supported by an innovative cross-braced exoskeleton structure. Anchored by an offset core and clad in a soaring glass curtain wall, the tower offers panoramic views of Sydney Harbour, the Sydney Opera House, and Sydney Harbour Bridge. The tower’s interiors are designed to maximise daylight and open space, with 6-metre column-free zones to the north and south.

The project to refurbish the central building of the office complex at Cassina dè Pecchi, in the northern outskirts of Milan, is part of the complete reappraisal of services for the companies present on the site, and also involves improving the spaces outside the complex that so far have been used exclusively as parking lots.
The building that is the object of retrofitting is given new spaces for catering, event areas with two new meeting rooms seating up to 25 and 99 people respectively, a fitness area, as well as new socializing and smart working spaces, with a view to becoming a pioneering example and a pole of attraction for new activities in the area.
Intelligent Innovation, a leader in telecommunication engineering, wished to build a new office to accommodate more employees, from the current number of 40 people to 85 people in the near future. The company, therefore, purchased a 1,300 SQM of land in Khlong Lam Chiak district. On this plot of land were some old structures such as a large warehouse for keeping second hand car parts on the main road, and a 500 SQM, 3-floor reinforced concrete house at the back of the land. Seeing that the warehouse had quite a strong structure, the project owner wished to convert it to a parking lot. The house would also be brought down to the structure and transformed into an office with an extension added to the front part.

The 180 square meter sales office of the Club House NV/9 ARTKVARTAL is situated in a penthouse of an apartment building in the Serebryanicheskaya Embankment, 19, is one of the brightest examples of Moscow's modern architecture.
Our task was to create an unusual, spectacular and representative office space, taking into account the initial unique character of the site – a large light concrete space with panoramic windows, overlooking the Yauza river. A special detail is the non-standard 8,5-meter high gable ceiling.
Since 2008, Portland Playhouse had been operating out of a historic, 1904-era church in the King neighborhood of Portland, making-do with sofa seating and make-shift solutions in a building long-in-need of updates. Opportunity arose in 2012 when the city officially granted use of the structure as a theater. With a secure home in hand, the Playhouse undertook a plan to transform the outdated building into a fully dedicated theater. SERA partnered with the Playhouse on a multi-phased project that identified programmatic requirements, functional needs, aesthetic preferences, and growth strategies for the organization. The results of that planning included a substantial renovation of the existing building, the addition of a 1,200-square-foot dedicated rehearsal and community space, and concept design for an outdoor component to be added at a later date.
