Camplus San Pietro was a former health facility that has been refurbished by Roselli Architetti Associati in order to allow CEUR Foundation; to manage it as a student residence during the academic year; and as a budget hotel when there are no students. The six-storey building is located next to the Vatican City and hosts a total of 120 guest rooms.
The new Student Residence Pavilion, together with the two existing dormitories, forms a public square which is a part of the entrance sequence to the Osijek campus, a developing student city.

The house knowingly presents itself as a metropolitan building with fixed street line. Facades with open parterre make these buildings a natural part of the street. Together with the alleyway they create a pleasant city environment, in which wide pavements are a necessity.
There are only several houses of this type in this part of the Holešovice district in Prague, dating back to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. They stand out like ruins after bombardment. Insensitive interventions from the era before 1989, namely transport infrastructure projects, have nearly destroyed the urban character of the area.
The new Student Hub on Bush Court will be a dynamic, flexible space at the centre of the South Street campus. It is where students will meet, eat, socialise, study informally and gain access to important support services.
Emerson College is the nation’s pre-eminent institution in higher education devoted to communication and the arts in a liberal arts context.

Located in downtown Portland, the new Karl Miller Center is uniquely integrated with the city’s rich network of public open spaces and diverse urban uses. Questioning the full-block archetype that dominates the typical 200' x 200' city block of Portland, the building design appears as two distinct structures sharing a city block – the renovated existing building, a 100,000sf 1970's structure retrofitted with a metal panel facade system broken up by an irregular composition of punched windows, and a new dynamic, shifting 45,000sf addition, clad in regionally sourced Alaskan Yellow Cedar. This approach, coupled with a series of terracing external green spaces and new circulation pathways linking the urban center, local parks, transportation stops, and nearby campus buildings, enhances the public realm by providing a more diverse streetscape. A one-story grade differential between 6th Avenue and Broadway, populated with public oriented spaces, creates two ground levels, further activating the exterior plazas and the atrium and heightening the activity within and around the building.
