Sensory House | Mexico
Located in Mexico, Sensory House is conceived as an immersive space dedicated to sensory experience, well-being, and introspection.
The project is defined by a sequence of carefully curated environments, each designed to evoke a specific emotional and spatial condition. Materiality, light, and proportion are used as primary tools to shape perception and guide the user through a gradual transition between states.
The decompression lounge introduces a circular spatial gesture, where soft lighting, natural textures, and controlled geometry create a sense of calm and disconnection from the exterior environment.

Li Bai, famed poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in the poem “The Hard Road to Shu”, the stairs to heaven are easier to climb than the road to Sichuan. With Chinese e-tailer HARMAY’s fourth brick and mortar location in Chengdu, Sichuan, AIM Architecture has bridged the gaps between the power of a journey, and the beauty of discovery.

Stellar Energy
In 1994, All State Insurance built a large corporate campus on Jacksonville’s southeast side. The location is lush, with walking trails, ponds and moss-covered oaks. Nearly 30 years later, a forward-thinking developer, Trevato Group, bought the 30-acre site from All State, seeing potential in its location, landscape, and architectural bones. Trevato hired Valerio Dewalt Train to renovate the existing 8-story tower to support multiple tenants. The top two floors of the existing building have been leased by Stellar Energy as their World Headquarters.

Studio Bagechaa
In the timeless romance of Delhi’s Mughal architecture, the city’s landscape is a canvas where history and artistry converge. Mughal design, with its intricate kalakaari and poetic symmetry, remains an eternal muse, weaving a story of grandeur and refinement. Once graced by majestic sandstone mausoleums enveloped by verdant gardens, these charbaghs were more than architectural marvels—they were sanctuaries of peace, where nature and design converged to embody balance, serenity, and a vision of paradise on earth.

Nestled within the heart of Shahpur Jat, a locality that still retains its narrow lanes, old havelis, and ancient monuments; the echoes of Delhi’s old-world charm intertwine with the vibr... More

Glassdoor Chicago
Situated in Chicago’s Fulton Market—a neighborhood characterized by its industrial warehouses-turned-hip design and tech workspaces—Glassdoor’s new Chicago office reflects the transparency and humility of their company culture, while honing in on the neighborhood’s historic identity. An abstracted reinterpretation of their former Chicago office, this space’s curved glass and rounded walls soften the formerly industrial space and nod to the natural evolution of the company. The building’s offset core allows for an open floor plan with simple, yet meaningful circulation that takes on the shape of the iconic Chicago “Y”. The use of natural, raw, and transparent materials reflect the transpa... More

“THE NARRATIVE TO AN ANCESTRAL FOLKTALE OF THE COCONUT ISLAND”Fascinating oriental flavors complement a wondrous experience playing out at KOKO Restaurant, a dining outlet of The Village Coconut Island Resort Phuket serving self-service breakfast, casual gastronomic dinner, to midnight cocktails.
From a forgotten native folktale of a misfortunate fisherman, believed to be Coconut Island’s pioneer, who was saved ashore after a boat wreck accident by hugging a floating coconut to the island, Studio Locomotive made assumptions further towards his surviving journey and settlement that latter became the design concept of KOKO Restaurant; the fisherman discovered a freshwater pond in this ‘cave’ and decided to...

FESTIVAL CULTURE GIOVANI
LIVE CITY SECTION
1968: sharing journey, relations, interactions, re-appropriation, strength of the imagination, participation, physicality, criticism and dialectics, research into personal and collection happiness through the political action.
The action/expression of Archabout at Salerno from the title “the journey” aims to extrapolate those values which are deprived of those connotations that are closely linked to that historical period in a cathartic process to being lowered at the current time with a renewed positive and pro-positive worth aimed at the construction of the spaces of the new Polis.
