We have been trying to build in Los Angeles for more than a decade and the Audrey Irmas Pavilion for the Wilshire Boulevard Temple marks our first cultural building in the city. It is also our first religious institution. Religious institutions have always played a critical role in civic life as places for communal activities in and out of worship.
The temple’s vision for its campus was to create a space to host the multiple ways in which people convene. How can the new pavilion harness the energy of gathering that is simultaneously respectful to historic traditions and reflective of modern civic needs?

Invited by «Le Voyage à Nantes», YokYok was led to propose an artistic intervention in order to reactivate an old barn, at the heart of the park of Forget Island, for the city of Saint-Sebastien-sur- Loire. (44, France)
Situated along the Loire river, on a floodplain, the unique building of the island, which old barn’s function explains the singular morphology is set with an overlooking terrace offering views 360 around the park.
Imagination pavillion was a project suggesting the existing old observatory to the new one. The observatory for amusement and a view where we could meet nature and overlook cityscape, doesn’t only serve functional role but also would like to suggest a pavillion with new imagination. The barrier free zone which is located along a trail is a regional nature community space which is most loved and used by local people who are meeting the nature. The imagination pavillion which has installed in the peak of the trail is a final destination for easy strolling but also a connection between another nature world and the city, new landscape amusement, and a starting point for the other journey. We designed panorama vertical trail which is a playground for a relationship of the nature and inhabitants, which naturally gets related after watching the nature landscape at the observatory, and also strolls inside the forest. Through this, it suggests a poetic pavilion assimilates with nature, incorporates and amuses the forest and sky, and an attractive observatory which actively combines formative mystique and nature inside the mountain.
Since 2004, LEVS architecten has been working on projects in the southern railway area of Bussum. The development of de former chocolate factory Bensdorp will be the last phase on the road to turning this formerly inaccessible site into an exceptional living, working, and cultural area.
This project began after ordering from a customer who wanted to build a hangar to house aircraft and related machines.
The chosen place was the land where his country house is located, with a large area and strong relationship with nature. It is easily accessible by road BR-101.
Two large lakes organize the internal ways of the area. At one side is located the existing house and, on the other side the new construction.
The project is located within a transit-oriented development (TOD) in Foshan, China. It’s used as the sales center of the development at the early stage and later will serve as a public activity space for the community. For this reason, its interior design needs to incorporate socializing and leisure functions.
Based on the unique transit-oriented planning of the development, the rooftop of the Life Pavilion becomes a part of the community park, which endows it with greenery and landscape. The space is set under the ground and is lower than surrounding roads. Through carving out several openings on the rooftop and inserting landscape into the voids, playful and multi-layer relationships were produced.

Situated at the central axis of Qiandeng Lake area, Foshan, China, OPUS ONE is Poly’s fifth property development of the “Top Series” that defines the city skyline. Responding to Lingnan people’s ideal of living in symbiosis with nature, it creates a cozy and artistic lifestyle in the bustling urban jungle.
In the winter of 2019 Masterskaya Be won a closed competition for the design of the pavilion for the real estate company. The concept of the summer pavilion develops in three aspects: the pavilion function – sports and educational events, the envelope – protects the main function from external influences and attracts visitors from outside, the curtain – allows to transform the space and create different scenarios inside the pavilion.
A square-shaped public square, defined by two porches and open to the football pitches. This will be the centre of the sports complex of El Morrot. This is also the answer to the contradictions between use and site: an industrial estate and a street with hardly any sidewalks.
