Jing’an Ronghui Plaza consists of two towers, one high-end residential buildings and serviced apartments. The programme is distributed within four individual volumes. The residential and office towers - linked by a ground floor retail layer - are placed across the site to optimise sun orientation and reduce the casting of shadows on the plot, while simultaneously reducing impact on the surrounding buildings. The facade design for Jing’an Ronghui Plaza was developed around two principle elements. The horizontal ribbons that wrap around balconies and facade openings and the vertical shifts in the ribbons towards the main street which add a vertical articulation to the buildings and ground them on the site. Large glass openings a... Más

Located just within Beijing’s innermost ring road, the KWG·M·CUBE is prominently located next to the Beijing Railway Station and near to both the Temple of Heaven to the Southwest, and Tiananmen and the Forbidden City to the Northwest. Given this prime location and the consequent value of the land, the client wanted a building that would stand out from its mostly beige and grey neighbours, while also packing a large amount of space into a relatively small footprint. Contradicting this request were the desires of the city government, whose preference was for a building that would fit in with its muted surroundings on the busy street.MVRDV was commissioned to design the building’s exterior and responded to these competing hopes with a 7-store...

Linehouse was commissioned by Canadian lifestyle brand Herschel Supply to develop their retail stores throughout Asia. The Tokyo location is the first flagship for Herschel Supply, located in the trendy streets of Shibuya.   Drawing from Herschel’s roots in Vancouver, Canada, an urban center surrounded by nature, Linehouse took the notion of the urban forest and the kind of dwelling one might find there. In doing so, they reconceptualised the alpine cabin for an urban context, creating a fragmented dwelling. The façade is lined with angled timber battens, painted on either side in various hues of blue. A shifting horizon of colour is experienced on approaching the store. From one direction the façade appears to be wood i... Más

JGMA’s design strategy for the Daley College - Manufacturing, Technology and Engineering Center (MTEC) utilizes building transparency to showcase machines, equipment, and products integral to the learning objectives of the colleges as well as provide a visual connection to the surrounding West Lawn community. The seamless fluidity to the building’s form was inspired by the constant and linear flow of the manufacturing process. The building spans the main thoroughfare of 76th Street with a strong industrial bridge that links the south and north campus of Richard J. Daley College.   The new building celebrates the manufacturing industry through the expression of materials such as metal panels, glass, and exposed steel. In a... Más

The Amwaj Islands in Bahrain are a beautiful place to live in, and the CAS design team was tasked with designing an appropriate façade for a contemporary apartment building in the area. These islands are atypically manmade, and specifically cater to the luxury residence market. Therefore, the exterior has been designed to respect that specific aura of the luxury culture in a decidedly more contemporary way. The right façade of the complex has been treated to maximize the beautiful views of the sea, while the left façade looks over the open-air shopping center that tempts the residents to go out for a casual shopping experience. http://www.comelite-arch.com/portfolio/apartment-contemporary-exterior-design/ Más

Designing for Dexter’s is a huge opportunity – one that the CAS design team was recently tasked with. The concept of designing the façade of a corner store is a daunting one, but to create one for a Dexter’s corner store in a major area of London, UK is even more challenging. The team was asked to functionally adapt an existing exterior of an old building to represent a slightly more contemporary aesthetic. The designers rose to the challenge and created a design that artfully matches the old-school classical aura of the original, but with a modern twist. The white moldings complement the vintage bricks from the old exterior exceptionally well, and the overall execution has been carried out brilliantly. Más
