The Battery Playscape is located at the tip of Manhattan where land meets sea, locals meet tourists, and the bustle of the city yields to the presence of nature. Ecologically, the site is a dynamic confluence of water and land; a partly natural-partly constructed coastline that has been altered over time.    Sahar Coston-Hardy /Esto Sahar Coston-Hardy /Esto Conceived after Hurricane Sandy, the 1.5-acre Playscape responds to the site’s past and future flooding by telling the story of resilience, interwoven with play. It is the last piece of the Battery Conservancy’s masterplan which envisioned a verdant future for the then-dilapidated park. The Playscape realizes that vision through accessible, full-body pla...

El lema de la marca es "Encuentra la alegría en lo sencillo". Nos pareció que el concepto emulaba eso, mezclando un enfoque sostenible del espacio arquitectónico real con vibraciones alegres de los 80 y una proporción japonesa-orgánica en mente. Ioana Porav Photography Este espacio alberga un restaurante especializado en dulces y cafetería, que sólo sirve los suyos propios, un surtido especial de tartas de queso y su propia mezcla personalizada de café. El local es una casa antigua rehabilitada con techos altos, situada en el centro de Cluj Napoca. Ioana Porav Photography Y lo que es más importante, hemos partido de ahí para crear el concepto real del espacio,... Más

The house originates from 1934 and was relatively untouched. The goal was to make it a lot more energy efficient and quite a bit larger. The old house did have a lot of character and details we wanted to keep. With the new extension we wanted to merge a completely different style and atmosphere with this 1930’s ambiance; the secure and warmth atmosphere of the old part combined with the open and transparent feel of a modern home. The floor of the open kitchen diner in the new extension is placed two steps lower than the living room in the older part. Looking from the backyard you can’t really see the classic front of the house. Yet from the street you can hardly see the modern extension in the back. And yet on the inside the 2 m... Más

The world’s first ‘super-laboratory’ has quickly established itself as an industry benchmark.   The new Science Centre at London Metropolitan University incorporates an open plan, 280-workspace science laboratory delivering state-of-the-art facilities for cross-disciplinary education.
