10 commercial buildings that benefit from planted facades

The integration of nature into architecture marks a proactive urban response to the climate emergency. The urban heat island effect is a phenomenon where cities experience higher temperatures than rural areas. Roads and buildings displace an area’s natural terrain, disrupting and removing soil and trees. These natural surfaces help to regulate temperatures: vegetation provides shade and lowers the surrounding temperature, and along with soil and water, it cools the air via evaporative cooling (much like sweating, where evaporating water absorbs heat). Buildings and artificial surfaces reverse this natural process by trapping heat and then releasing it. The source of this heat includes both solar energy and human activity. As urban po... More

Amalias 40 Office Building

In an exclusive closed competition featuring prominent Greek architectural firms, ZOIA, invited design proposals to revitalize a significant landmark built in the 70’s. Nestled in the heart of Athens while overlooking the statue of Alexander the Great and opposite to the Pillars of the Olympian Zeus, the office building on 40 Vasilissis Amalias Avenue is finally gaining a new narrative after it was burned and vandalized in 2010. Located in a prestigious area of Athens, the vision behind this project revolved around reusing & restoring the city’s 70s asset, by giving it a new identity while allowing the abandoned building to become a workplace destination.  Yiorgos Kordakis Yiorgos Kordakis Yiorgos Kordakis...

nfw!

One plot, two buildings, two uses, one client, one building site, one schedule but two different intentions – this is perhaps the easiest way to describe the nfw! project in Graz. Tamara Frisch One of the buildings is becoming the headquarters of the traditional family electrical engineering company (mainly commercial enterprise); the other one houses the family’s much younger real estate development company (office use). Tamara Frisch Both structures are expected to look similar, but still clearly distinguishable. They are relatively far apart, in order to give each other space, distance and sovereignty; they are receiving facades which are similar but not exactly the same; one building... More

Glass Offices

This office space was divided into several 'glass' offices. To give it a cohesive feel, the white Clip-in ceiling was extended across the entire space. Slimline 30 lighting gave the space a streamlined and clean feel. With enough light for the employees, of course! Above some cabinets, Tube Swing luminaires were provided for extra accent. Philip Braem In the walkway, a small bar/kitchen was provided by the client. This bar is accented by four Bull dot lighting fixtures. The Bull dot is a small, subtle but powerful luminaire. Perfect as an accent in the room. Philip Braem More

The office and hotel complex.

The project of an office and hotel complex in the center of Odessa 2019.I proceeded from the task of carefully inserting a new building into the historical context of the city on the site of an old, emergency building. For increased comfort of the complex and to unload the city center, a multi-level parking has been developed.  Caption Expecting that the city authorities and architects of the city would be skeptical about such a contrasting introduction of the proposed building into the existing historical environment of the city,  I simultaneously developed, without a significant change in the planning solution, the second version in the  Renaissance style with a minimal risalit and the third version with a classical p...
