An inspiring workplace is a great perk for employees, and companies like AppFolio are going above and beyond to create destination workplaces that enhance company culture and a sense of belonging.
The opportunity for AppFolio to take over the lease for the second floor of their office building in Richardson, Texas, meant the company could consolidate its Dallas-area-workforce into a single, two-story, 48,000-square-foot Texas headquarters. With a commitment to purposely support team members, AppFolio wanted to create a place where employees wanted to be a place that would facilitate collaboration and teamwork while making life a little easier through amenities that help maintain work-life balance.
The HeidelbergCement AG headquarters provide space for 1,000 staff. AS+P consistently pursued the client’s claim of “Concrete Excellence”: With curved façade elements, tree-like struts in the foyer, and the casino ceiling, the building shows the diverse potential of concrete as a material with a sustainability concept based on the Platinum Standard.
The design for the new building of the corporate headquarters is based on the architectural approach of the existing buildings and interprets them in a new, modern form. The new building interacts closely with the green space and offers spectacular views of Heidelberg from its unobstructed vantage point right at the beginning of the Berliner Strasse. The head building forms a sovereign prelude to the development of the adjoining quarter on the northern bank of the Neckar.
Brusnika develops and builds new housing estates in cities of Russia. However, it is also committed to conserving architectonic heritage related to its projects. This approach restores the historic background of modern districts and enhances place identity. Riverport, a new housing estate under construction in Tyumen, is a vivid example of this trend. Located in the former river port, which marked the history of Siberian steam navigation in the late 19th century, the estate will comprise a total of 15 houses. Public space development, along with the city waterfront revamp will be further endorsed by a multifunctional environment with shops, shopping malls, offices, coffee houses, and restaurants. The estate is due for completion in 2030.
Completed in 2022, Aedas-designed Chongqing Gaoke Group Ltd Office Project utilises a simple elegant form. It is derived from the northern light, which creates the twisting shape of the 180m tall tower to form expressive double-curved surfaces on the building façades. Vertical lines accentuate the minimalistic form and through the effect of reflection and refraction from the glass create a design statement that celebrates light as the major tool to define architecture.
Stands at the north of Xingfu Plaza, the project is located in Jiangbei District of Chongqing.

The notion of “Reconnection” lies at the heart of the newly renovated office tower of Herzog Fox Neeman (HFN), one of the most prestigious law firms in Israel. Auerbach Halevy Architects, appointed as Lead Designers for the renovation, aimed to preserve the firm’s values with a push towards openness and connectedness at the heart of their conceptual thinking.
In 2019, 36 years after the company’s founding, Herzog Fox Neeman, moved from their previous 3000sqm offices in Beit Asia to a beautiful, newly renovated 16-storey office tower in Central Tel Aviv. This created a highly complex challenge for Auerbach Halevy, who were tasked to transition the HFN offices from their previous 2-storey office space to a far more substantial 25,000sqm vertical tower system to house up to 800 employees.

This project is a major alteration of an existing “Ruko”, which is a typical mix-use row house building commonly found in Jakarta, Indonesia. The site is 4 m wide and 15 m deep. A common typology for this type of structure is that it shares two common walls with its neighbors, which often poses a design challenge in finding sufficient access to natural light and ventilation. In response to this issue, we punctured holes on the roof of the stairwell bulkhead and on the 3rd floor slab to provide a healthy and playful work lifestyle for a small tech startup office.
