Gaysorn II is a mix use development that aims to create a new approach to commercial design through careful planning and curation of Lifestyle, Work, Play and Grow in a holistic environment.
Inspired by the traditional Thai culture in craft and hospitality, the project synergizes and combines the components of retail, dining, workplace, conferencing and wellness through an integrated and sustainable design in the heart of Bangkok’s CBD and retail area.
Gaysorn Plaza I was developed in 1994 and was facing strong competition from newer, larger retail development in the neighborhood, Gaysorn II is primarily an office tower on top of a retail podium, and it is the developer’s intent that the combined retail area will make it more commercially competitive in the area.
The project was designed with the university premise of having an auditorium where diverse artistic activities could take place, as well as conferences or symposiums. The project is part of the Anáhuac University’s master plan development. Classrooms and workshops were contemplated to allow the support of artistic formation and to strengthen the cultural life of the University’s Coordination of Art and Culture.
It is a multifunctional space for conferences, concerts, theater, dance, opera and academic acts. It includes: a vestibule that allows for temporary expositions to be mounted; a sculpture space; rehearsal rooms; dressing rooms and offices. The School of Arts resides in the Ground Floor, whose bachelor´s degrees in Plastic Arts, Contemporary Music, Theatre and Performance have been taught in the University for years.
The West Bund Museum is a new art gallery on the Shanghai Corniche, an 8.5 kilometre frontage on the northern bank of the Huangpu River. The promenade connects the Xuhui district to the historic Bund and forms a key part of the West Bund Masterplan, which envisages a new cultural district over nine square kilometres of former industrial land.
The museum occupies a triangular plot at the northernmost tip of a new public park, at the point where Longteng Avenue and the river converge. A raised public esplanade above the flood plain surrounds the building, offering views to the river. The edge of the esplanade on the east side is delineated by a continuous series of steps with landing stages leading to the riverbank. The site offered the opportunity to create a completely freestanding structure and its location allowed for improved access to both the river and the park.
Located at Mapthraputh district, Rayong province which most of the area are factory site. By having industrial estate and divided out into external land. Exion Workshops is the factory located at outside of industrial estate by the surrounding environment is clear, consist of some agriculture zones and residences.
The architect received a task from project owner to do a Layout. The project want to determine the size of factory building or operation building which consist of 24 meters width and 48 meters depth. It is the standard of factory to reduce construction cost and is the most suitable size for the operation. The architect then select to fit as much building as possible which will use to build in near future. The plan area, architect placed 3 operation buildings by leaving the front area for parking lot and office and prepare the backside of the project for the accommodation of some workers.
These days we hear a lot about workplaces of the future – but where does the architecture fit into that? This question was our point of departure for Market Lane, a new office project that kicked off a new chapter of experimentation at Elenberg Fraser.
With a massive generational shift underway in the workforce – did you know millenials will make up the majority of Australia’s workforce by 2020? – we wanted to understand exactly what makes people want to work at, and stay working at, a workplace. As you know, our studio is all about art and science, so it makes sense that we conducted an intensive three month research platform into office architecture after embarking on this project, collaborating with a workplace planner and other experts. The end result is a concept that we like to call ‘the non-office office’. What we discovered is that work/life balance is a dead concept: today it’s all about work/life integration. This requires a major paradigm shift, viewing staff members as co-workers rather than employees, knowing what they value in a workplace and translating this to design outcomes that respond to the needs of everyone, from the boss to the newest recruit. Part of this is about understanding what elements of office architecture can meaningfully promote wellbeing at the workplace.
The object Ofenwerkstatt Müller is a workshop with five workplaces for the production of rammed earth furnaces (lehmo.at). The structure of the workshop should be perceived as a simple and monolithic volume. The building with a floor space of 228 square meter is built in a timber-framed construction. The building shell consists of fixed glazing and wood with a front facade of open masonry. This stands on a concrete base and at certain points has generous openings with defined views. On the flat roof of the workshop there is a solar plant with an area of 45 square meter and a 60 degree inclination. The new workshop is positioned on the property in such a way that it creates a kind of inner courtyard situation in relation to the existing building. A restrained building is to be created, which with the materials wood and the open masonry represents the sustainable and technical aspects of the Ovenworkshop.
Marmalade Lane, Cambridge’s first cohousing development, is now complete and welcoming K1 Cohousing members. This marks the culmination of eighteen years of work by the group, and comes at a moment when custom-build and community-led housing are being recognised by the government as viable and attractive models for future housing.
The development comprises 42 homes – a mix of two- to five-bedroom terraced houses and one- and two-bedroom apartments. In common with other cohousing communities now established in the UK, Marmalade Lane’s shared spaces and communal facilities, designed to foster community spirit and sustainable living, are integral to the development. These include extensive shared gardens as the focal space of the community, with areas for growing food, play, socialising and quiet contemplation, and a flexible ‘common house’ with a play room, guest bedrooms, laundry facilities, meeting rooms, and a large hall and kitchen for shared meals and parties. A separate workshop and gym are located elsewhere on site. All residents are members of K1 Cohousing, have a stake in the common parts and contribute to the management of the community. Fulfilling the group’s aspiration for mixed, intergenerational living, the multi-national group includes families with young children, retired and young professional couples and single-person households of different ages.
This is a big coastal development project for the historic Sevkabel factory (Siemens & Halske), situated on Vasilyevsky Island. The site is located in an industrial district, placed right between the street (Kozhewennaya linia) and the Gulf of Finland. Old red-brick 19-th century buildings of the Siemens & Halske manufactory coexist with and industrial facilities of the 70s of the 20th century on the same site.
These buildings are located in different Coordinate grids of the brick and concrete buildings differ from each other, and that diference creates complex, trapezoidal spaces between them. Dealing with an existing environment, we focused our efforts on the renovation and adaptation of existing buildings, as well as on the preservation of the industrial genius loci. This approach allowed us to emphasize the existing features of the site, including some of the industrial artefacts.
The ground floor of a residential building in the center of Berlin has been transformed into a creative co-working site that offers not only work space but also space for children and families. This is a functional solution for a diverse audience that wants to work, play and have fun under one roof. This space enables young parents to combine their professional aspirations with their family lives in order to achieve a balanced working life in this phase of their lives. It also contributes to the formation of an informal community of parents and young professionals who share common professional and family problems.
