This structure which we put forward as a concept project in Manhattan and looks quite striking with the difference created by both its form and materials on the silhoutte was a work we had planned to design for a long time. When we examine it in general, the first impressive effect is that it creates an image in the mind that is tangent to all of the other neighboring structures but does not exactly resemble any of them. It is a first step project that feeds ideas with concepts such as anatomy and cell and it reveals its basis very clearly with its amorphous shaping and completely different statics from similar structures.Another aspect of the same work is an image that will reveal what kind of impression it creates in the silhoutte in general. If it is examined together with the city as well as showing its difference directly the elaborately produced formal ratio of the building it also demonstrates its existence in a very concrete way. On the other hand, the voids it has also contain different views in itself. At this point, it has a transparent ghosty stance in the city skyline.
The office building is divided into three parts, which are determined by the means of contextual parameters: an architrave block, a waler and a head. This partition creates on the one hand a strong identity of the whole ensemble as an urbanistic prelude for the development of the Baakenhafen, on the other hand generates urban qualities inside the building.

Adamant is a complex of 30 levels of mixed uses that is located in the city of Puebla in Mexico, specifically at the urban intersection of El Periférico and Via Atlixcayotl, becoming a leading sustainability project in the most important development area of the city.
The Building is located in Polanco, one of the centers of greatest urban intensity in Mexico City. It consists of 3 independent towers that are articulated to generate a central patio that allows the construction of a community space that constitutes the identity of the complex and is qualified by its friendly proportions for the scale of the building.
Kingsway Tower in Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria is a landmark mixed-use building set on a prominent corner on Alfred Rewane Road, an arterial road that bisects the city leading north towards the airport and south to the Victoria Island.
