The new central office of the Carlsberg Group sets the framework for a modern and dy-namic workplace, with a building that supports identity, knowledge sharing, and innovation. This is emphasized with a large open atrium that binds the entire company together in one unified working community, integrated with the connecting the past with the future.
Carlsberg’s central office is located in Carlsberg’s historic area of Valby Bakke in Copenhagen and appears harmonious in its interaction with its surroundings. The challenge has been to adapt a larger, modern office building with precision and sensitivity in a historic, urban and scenic location and, at the same time, give the building the aesthetic quality that characterizes Carlsberg as a company.
35 Lower Long, an elegant 86-metre glass-clad office tower, has recently been completed which will invigorate Cape Town’s emerging financial and hospitality district. The building, developed by Abland Property Developers and designed by dhk Architects, is characterised by a singular sculpted massing which is transformed via dynamic glazed planes that extend seamlessly over the office and parking levels. The two main corners of the building are chamfered towards the roofline and soar upwards, forming a striking wing-like effect – resulting in a distinctive, non-orthogonal addition to Cape Town’s skyline.

McKinsey & Company, the global management consulting firm, has moved into its new office in Doha, designed by Dubai-based interior design studio Roar.
The space is home to 55 McKinsey staff across 7750 sq ft. The design is anchored on three pillars: the culture of the country, health & wellness, and Digital McKinsey.
“We talk a lot about interpreting cities, livability, and wellness into the way we design physical spaces,” said Samvit Kanoria, partner with McKinsey in Doha. “So here was our experiment at making all of those dreams a reality.”

8,000 years of time have elapsed, accumulating the rich cultural atmosphere of Zhengzhou. And the rapid development of modern technology has brought a new life to this land. The design of the ancient capital, the new city, the land of Zheng tendency, and the place of heaven and earth, is based on this.
The project is located in the future land and air transportation hub of Zhengzhou. The plate has great potential. The two horizontal and two vertical road network systems immediately reach the prosperous city; the dense urban atmosphere and the distant humanistic essence collide and merge into a unique modern oriental temperament. The design is based on this as an opportunity, combining ancient and contemporary elements such as academies and technology to find the resonance between tradition and modernization, and creating a new ecological ideal life that matches the top luxury and upstart.
HONG Designworks was invited to conceive ECCO’s Office in Xi’an, China. By drawing inspiration from the continuous movement of nature and rhythm it generates, the design team created a series of dynamic scenes that fit into the brand’s values, and integrated natural ambience, rhythm and positive state of life within the space.
Set independently at one side, the brand logo wall is in pure white and complemented by soft light. Besides, the designers extracted elements from mottled old city walls of Xi’an, and combined them with ECCO’s spirit of leather innovation, to create a leather brick wall with mixed colors in the reception area. Leather bricks of different colors correspond to distinct phases in leather making, and echo the appearance changes of Xi’an city walls over the last several hundred years.
International design and innovation office CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati and Bouygues Immobilier have unveiled the design of ILOW, a new building in Paris that aims to act as a bridge between La Défense, the French capital’s financial powerhouse, and the nearby Tours Nuages (Cloud Towers), one of the most iconic social housing projects of the postwar era. The building, designed in collaboration with Agence d’Architecture Willerval et Associés, is shaped like two open arms connecting two different socio-economic neighborhoods. Moreover, it leverages parametric design to generate a facade that reinterprets the Tours Nuages. CRA has filed building permits to the local municipal authority.

Innovate while keeping the values on. Thus was presented what, at first, only intended to be a simple “make up” to a building of a charity organization, such as San Juan de Dios in Granada.
This corporate architecture project is a reintervention to the Altius offices, which house a marketing company. The first phase of this project was also done by RIMA Arquitectura back in 2013. Due to the growth in numbers of staff members, a plan that reinterprets the past few years’ organizational changes –without losing the brand’s creative personality– was requested.
