Bedrock Origin, the new sister restaurant to Singapore's critically acclaimed and award-winning Bedrock Bar & Grill, is the hotel's Specialty Restaurant. Daniel Koh Photography Daniel Koh Photography Daniel Koh Photography The beautifully restored heritage building that houses the restaurant was once Southeast Asia’s first Malay artillery barracks and dates back to 1940. We wanted to create a restaurant that felt bright, fresh and breezy, to celebrate the resort's island location, and to evoke the feeling of dining outsi... More

Located in the heart of Tbilisi, SAAD Aparthotel explores the relationship between contemporary hospitality, material honesty, and local cultural identity. The project brings together raw architectural surfaces, warm timber, carefully selected furnishings, and expressive graphic elements to create interiors that feel both contemporary and inviting. mariam mumladze mariam mumladze Exposed concrete ceilings and visible technical installations establish an industrial architectural language, balanced by natural wood, soft textiles, and sculptural lighting. A restrained material palette provides continuity throughout the property, while contrasting colors and distinctive details introduce a sense of playfulness. mariam mumladze... More

Visualization by 100CGI Studio for a private client: The Ormond Foundry, a century-old industrial building in Dublin converted into an 800 sq m corporate headquarters. Twelve stills were delivered in 15 days. The brief was to sell the contrast rather than smooth it away. Old brick and new glass meet along a visible seam, and that seam is the selling point of the conversion. 100CGI Studio 100CGI Studio 100CGI Studio Everything in the scheme answers to the exposed red brick, and old Dublin brick is the hardest thing in the room to render: rough, light-absorbing, the opposite of the crisp glass standing in front of it. Three surfaces had to read at once, matte brick, sharp reflections on black-framed partitions, and the soft n... More

Burger & Lobster is the hugely popular restaurant chain originating in the UK, with outlets across Europe, the USA, the Middle East and now Asia. Daniel Koh Photography Daniel Koh Photography The iconic Raffles Hotel was the location chosen for the group’s first venture into Singapore. The challenge was to create a Burger & Lobster that was reminiscent of the very first outlet in London’s Mayfair, originally opened in a traditional London pub, but that was also respectful to the beautiful colonial architecture of Raffles Hotel.

CitySpace is one of the leading Polish flexible office operators. NOVO, its space between Jerozolimskie Avenue and Nowogrodzka Street in central Warsaw, covers 2,800 m² across two floors, with 328 workstations. The design project for NOVO won the European Property Award for the Best Office Interior category for Poland. The project had to reconcile three demands that usually pull against each other. - design, because in flexible offices people choose with their eyes. - economics, because every square metre has to earn its keep.- sustainability, because the most valuable material was the fit-out already in place. Most projects manage only two of the three. Ewelina Lekka Lekka   Ewelina Lekka Ewelina Lekka City... More

Ten Square Games is one of Poland's largest mobile game developers, known for Fishing Clash and Hunting Clash. Its Wrocław headquarters in the City One building had grown across two floors, close to 1,700 m² in total. This project was the first in Poland in which the embedded carbon footprint of a newly created office interior was actually calculated. The design ran from the outset with one measurable target: the lowest possible embedded carbon. Existing materials were recovered and reused wherever they still performed, and emissions were monitored alongside the construction rather than estimated afterwards. In total, 38.8 tonnes of CO₂ emissions were avoided. Ten Square Games Ten Square Games Ten Square Games Ten Sq... More

Creative House of Hezareh turns a long-abandoned horse stable into an 1,100-square-meter coworking space. The building sits on the former racecourse of Tehran's Abbas-Abad cultural lands, near Ab-o-Atash Park — a single narrow hall buried in mature trees between the park and the Modarres expressway, derelict for years and needing extensive repair before anything else could begin. Solo Studio Solo Studio Solo Studio Solo Studio Solo Studio The brief was a shared workspace; the opportunity was the setting. Circular windows run the full length of the ground-floor hall so that no desk loses the park, and the existing roof lights were opened up to pull daylight deeper into the plan. Because the hall was uncomforta... More

In Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, the project transforms a townhouse and a former warehouse into a 496 sqm multidisciplinary medical center. The intervention builds upon the specific qualities of the two existing structures, adapting them to a new healthcare program. Facing the street, the townhouse accommodates the entrance and the first medical practices. Its façade is reworked in terracotta brick, establishing a dialogue with the surrounding urban fabric. At the rear of the plot, the former warehouse is restructured and extended vertically to accommodate, among other functions, physiotherapy and balneotherapy spaces. TBA Architecture The transformation preserves the reading of the warehouse as a generous open volume. A new glazed ro... More

In the historic centre of Lequile, near Lecce in southern Puglia, this traditional Salento townhouse is conceived as a sensitive transformation of an existing historic property into a contemporary Mediterranean home. Esplendido Design Esplendido Design Esplendido Design Esplendido Design Caption The design begins with the character already present: soaring vaulted ceilings, original patterned floors, generous room proportions, a private citrus garden and views across the surrounding rooftops towards the town’s historic church. Rather than erase these elements, the proposal celebrates them. Existing architectural features are retained wherever possible and combined with a restrained palette of natural finishe... More

As Indonesia's residential market continues to mature, many aging apartment developments face a common challenge: how can an existing building remain relevant to the expectations of today's luxury homeowners without requiring complete reconstruction? Trevor Tower in Gading Serpong explores this question through a comprehensive architectural and interior transformation that repositions an established residential tower into a contemporary high-end address. Mario Wibowo Commissioned to redesign both the architecture and interiors, INSADA approached the project as a holistic reinvention rather than a conventional renovation. The objective was to elevate the property's market positioning while maximizing the value of its existing structura... More

The renovation of the listed storefront office, dating from 1900 in Munich Schwabing, was conceived as an open-ended design process. Rather than defining the intervention entirely in advance, decisions were made throughout construction in direct response to the historic building fabric revealed on site. As the existing finishes were carefully removed, original layers of the building came to light, including historic wall prints, the original herringbone parquet flooring, and ceiling heights of up to 3.7m. These discoveries became the starting point for the subsequent design, informing material selection, detailing, and every architectural intervention. Damaged wall surfaces were intentionally repaired with raw plaster, while traces of the... More

Set within Montreal's iconic Nordelec building, the new offices for EVAH Corp transform 1,600 sqft of century-old industrial space into a contemporary workplace inspired by a scientific research and collaboration.  Alex Lesage Alex Lesage Rather than competing with the building's historic character, the design embraces its exposed brick, steel and concrete structure, allowing the architecture for the former indsutrical complex to remain the defining brackdrop. Inserted within this authentic shell, crisp laboratory-inspired materials, glazed surfaces and carefully curated colour introduce a refined, contemporary layer that reflects EVAH's work in animal health biotechnology.
