Forti Holding S.p.a. // Headquarters and Office Building
The new Forti S.p.a. headquarters is situated between Pisa and Livorno. It houses shops and the corporate group’s administrative center. The building is designed by ATIproject and is a clear example of green architecture. The team’s attention to bioclimatic planning results in its incredibly high energetic performances; opaque and transparent surfaces have been studied according to their specific orientation. From the main road, an airy lobby welcomes visitors with its triple height ceiling; it is located in the middle of a wide ventilated facade and protected by a wide glass system, guaranteeing plenty of natural light inside. On the other side, the southeast facade is totally realized by glass. In order to filter sunlight and to avoid ove... Más

111 Eighth Avenue
The intense urban rhythms of bustling New York fit perfectly to the character of a technological giant like Google, but the interior of its headquarters is dominated by a sense of "escapism" and undisturbed by external factors, working experience. In the fourth largest building of the city, there has been significant changes in terms of energy improvement and working conditions. The building retains its architectural style, while at the same time, also includes elements of a contemporary approach. A huge volume of 270,000 m² whose external surface consists of a ceramic finish, dominates and imposes itself on 111 of 8th Avenue trying to maintain the closest connection to the city even though inside the building strategies for the future...

Extension of the WHO Headquarters
In 2014, with altogether 253 firms participating, Berrel Berrel Kräutler prevailed in an open, international competition for the extension of the WHO Headquarters. The new building supplements the existing one, erected by Jean Tschumi in 1966, and set in a spacious park complex at the edge of Geneva. The complex encloses a green space like a set of brackets, while the closed, prestigious facade faces the street. Reflecting Tschumi’s design, the extension consists of a connecting base, a recessed ground floor, and a volume which projects beyond it.
The new concrete base – whose large strip windows face the park – interweaves new and old. It forms the new heart of the complex as a whole, a place where staff members can... Más

Nestlé Waters Beirut Headquarters
Nestle Waters Beirut Headquarters:
The NestléWaters’offices & warehouse are located on a lot near the Beirut River. It is a project intended to function as a logistical platform for the company; a head office that doubles up as a primary storage and distribution site.
The scheme yields to the highly functional aspect of the warehouse by letting the vehicle path and turning radii carve its mass and produce a volume that maximizes size without losing efficiency. The office block acknowledges the importance of uninterrupted flow & sits atop the warehouse cantilevering above the access andcreating a grand gate for the ubiquitous delivery truck.
It is composed of three blocks stacked to pay homage to the storage function below. The bui... Más

NEW SCHUECO RENOVATION FAÇADE SET TO REVOLUTIONISE REFURB MARKET
Developers and property owners are expected to give a warm welcome to a new system just launched by Schueco UK Limited. Known as the Schueco ERC 50 Renovation Façade, it allows an office building to be given a complete external facelift, including the installation of ProSol TF thin-film PV modules if required, without the need for the occupants to move out.
This makes it the ideal solution for the fast, cost-effective renovation of properties from the '60s, '70s and '80s, many of which are in imminent danger of becoming rental 'white elephants' because they have inadequate insulation, high running costs and no longer meet CO2 emissions limits. The fact that they can now... Más

Olympia Tower
A big space defined by communist block of flats, urbanism for the 80, rigid and alienated. On the other side of the boulevard, a sea of houses.
A space crowded between important streets that are intersecting in a place known as Munci square. The plot that must be developed is right in the middle of this storm…
The site is very small and is considered almost unbuildable because of the complexity caused by the underground networks, the nearby gas station or even because of the access problem caused by the network of crowded streets.
Apparently a common brief, a common solution – an office tower.
The project takes the traffic flows of the area, both on sidewalks and on streets, from their sum resulting the building’s footprint on the gro... Más
