This new headquarters and research center for a renowned international company in Singapore has been thoughtfully designed to prioritize both functionality and cost-effectiveness. Located near the Kallang River, the building’s main volume appears to “float” over a series of regular pillars, creating a welcoming, covered space for visitors and users. The ground floor volume is separated from the upper tower by a void, which houses a naturally ventilated car park. Finbarr Fallon The building’s massing concept is grounded in a simple and practical floor plan, with a central spine that contains vertical circulation, common toilets, mechanical rooms, and an airwell that floods the common circulation areas with natur...

 The case of E.C.Park is a paradigm in the process of re-urbanization and a natural choice under the Live-Streaming Economy. When the land attributes change due to changes in urban planning, industrial composite communities integrate production, office, living, commercial and other complex needs, and are a new form of integration between industrial and civil buildings. SPDG E. C. Park has a total site area of 27,000 ㎡ with a total construction area of 103,000㎡. It is composed of a 100m high main building in the center and surrounding unit incubators, including offices, exhibition halls, apartments, and retailing blocks. It forms a circular and interactive ecological chain with multiple business functions, responding to the practi... More

This landmark project is situated on a prime corner of the Boundary Park Industrial Park development in Northriding, Johannesburg. The site location, coupled with the tenant’s large staff compliment, led to a somewhat unconventional office to warehouse ratio of 60:40 instead of the more typical 90:10 ratio. 'This model is seemingly becoming more common nowadays with a shrinking global economy and improvements in technology. Many large companies with distribution facilities are downsizing and consolidating their operations,' says Alessio Lacovig of AOJ Architecture & Interiors.

Having to diminish que quantity of resources that we extract from the soil, it's mandatory that new buildings start to use more and more existing materials and structures.This building, located in Peso da Régua, in a beautiful area of the Douro region (UNESCO World Heritage), was my second approach (after POC Caldeirão) to the use of second-hand shipping containers as the core structure, with the effort of turning it's final image into a qualified and contextualized work. Paulo Alexandre Coelho The landscape of the Douro River, near Régua, is clearly marked by morphological elements with enormous character, namely the vineyards and the terraces that support them. Stone buildings that define strong and overlapping... More

After the good reception of the first assignment (Torre el Rengle I), Sorigué once again opted for the experience of ON-A in the construction of a second residential building, following the same language and projection that had been promoted in the previous project for the city of Mataró. This is why the new building follows the geometric line of its predecessor: a volume where the singularity is defined by the sinuousness of its curves and the horizontality of the white GRC stripes.   Efficiency and SustainabilityTo guarantee the sustainability of the project, we have chosen materials that achieve energy and acoustic efficiency, as well as the connection to an urban air-conditioning network (La Red Tub Verd Matar&oacut...
