An iconic Austin office building, built in 1960, has undergone a complete renovation by local architecture firm, Mark Odom Studio. Cantilevering towards North Lamar Blvd, this mid-century structure is nestled along a main Austin thoroughfare and integral midtown park district.
Meredith and Tyler Spears, owners of the heritage and family operated insurance company BKCW, bought the building for its iconic mid-century architecture which they felt reflected their company culture, attitude, and goals. The project then began not only as a full renovation of the 3,000 square foot office building built in 1960 (by architects Pendley & Day), but also as an adaptive reuse, ensuring the true preservation of the original building.
The port of La Savina is the main point of access to Formentera island. Its important geographical location makes it the border between an urban area, the Mediterranean Sea and a saltwater lake which forms part of Ses Salines Natural Park. Giving protection to the open sea, this lake has traditionally been used as a natural harbor to anchor small fishing boats. And, currently, the administration has deemed it suitable to house the municipal sailing school as well as other nautical sports and activities.
The functional program offered a duality (classrooms + offices versus workshop + dressing rooms) that has divided the volumetry into two independent parts aligning the first one with Almadrava Street and the second one with the passage of Balandra. At the intersection of both streets, the building offers an empty space with its visual permeability that incorporates the main access to the equipment. Between the two described volumes, there is a structure that provides a chill-out zone in the shadow and with its oblique geometry invites to enjoy the amazing views opening towards Estany des Peix.
Ministry of Sound are an entertainment giant founded in 1991. This project marks a new business venture for the Ministry of Sound brand. Initially, they wanted to construct an exclusive co-working space which would inspire & encourage collaboration among professionals. Ministry of Sound wanted to establish a space which was both unique & modern in it’s design, whilst reflecting brand identity & company culture at the core of the space. Throughout the project’s 16 weeks duration, multiple design workshops were hosted for Ministry of Sound, allowing our designers to develop visual concepts & grasp a deeper understanding of the Ministry brand, enabling this to be reflected throughout the design.
When Exalt—a non-profit that supports teenagers who have become involved in the justice system—relocated their headquarters to Lower Manhattan, the organization hired CIVILVN to transform a cramped space in a 1901 office tower into a flexible and open facility that would empower participants to succeed in educational and professional environments.
To make the most out of the 4,000-square-foot space, CIVILIVN designed the new headquarters to seamlessly convert between an office and a classroom, tripling Exalt’s operational capabilities and helping the non-profit expand its reach to better serve youth across all five boroughs.
Industrial areas are places that offer large spaces and easy access, characteristics that now seem to be impossible to find in more consolidated urban areas. It is not surprising that both retail traders and offices are setting up business in these areas, in an increasingly marked transition of industrial space towards the tertiary sector.
Spaces that can be generated by adapting old industrial buildings represent an inevitable chance for both owners and businesses, as for architects and designers. An example of this is the project for Sedka Novias carried out by Pablo Muñoz Payá, the Alicante architect studio established in Petrer.
Aedas was commissioned by the Kingboard Group to design a multi-functional commercial complex at Kingboard Culture Plaza, a key nod and starting point of the central axis of Shanghai Hongqiao Business Zone, a future CBD at the heart of Yangtze River Delta. Anchored at the Fifth Avenue of Hongqiao, the site pride itself for its prime location, transportation network and waterfront scenery.

By applying Alberti’s Renaissance maxim to an industrial building that the house is a small city and a city a large house, an attempt has been made to create a working space in which the perception is that of a strongly anthropocentric system. The FMTS Group project starts precisely on the basis of the pre-existence of a prefabricated box among the many in the industrial suburbs of Campania, originally built as an industrial factory and apparently defined and binding. In the service sector, Eisenman’s design concepts “structure, function and technique” can be compared with those of “product, process and production system” dear to the world of industry. In this project, the product, if product can be talked about, is varied between personnel trained in skills required by the market, in training packages, with a process of practical training on the one hand, in an innovative and advanced high gastronomy school and on the other corporate training with a spin-off process, management training and “production system”. The diversity and complexity of human-oriented spaces, tools and technologies must guarantee the conditions of wellbeing in which the attitudes and enthusiasm of the groups are refined.
Kloboucká lesní is a firm that is continually paving the way towards a sustainable forestry. It finds inspiration in the ways of our ancestors but also boldly explores new technological approaches and possibilities. In a field that is not commonly associated with innovation or bravery, the company makes its way as a progressive and creative one. The new company headquarters is to represent these values. The building is also a supportive example for the wood-based architecture and creative usage of timber as building material.
The timber industry is going through turbulent changes due to major shifts in climatic conditions. Company headquarters therefore has to be a flexible space, ready for advancements and change. We design places for creative work, research and innovation. The building is conceived as a case, given by the structure, and spaces inside are adjustable with reserves for an unexpected expansion.
The L05 project required workspace for a development team, which created a challenge for RMJM Serbia as their goal was to deliver a space that was malleable to meet the needs of an office whose tasks vary from day-to-day. At the same time, they were tasked with giving the space character and reflecting the culture of Belgrade.
