Colony Square
Renewal of Colony Square, Atlanta's original mixed-use development, pulls retail and dining closer to the street with new contemporary additions, repurposes underperforming spaces, and invites the public into the previously insular site. Two new office buildings, a food hall, and theatre have reestablished the site as "Atlanta's living room." Located in the heart of Midtown Atlanta, Colony Square is poised to become a premier cultural and entertainment destination within a burgeoning commercial, residential, and arts district.
A central challenge was softening the hard edges and seemingly impenetrable buildings, which made circulation through the complex difficult. Our approach was to dissolve the barriers between Colony Square and the adj... More

Noordblok Stadionplein
For years, Stadionplein in Amsterdam was best known as a boarding point for holiday buses and because of the Febo on the square. Once conceived as a temporary parking space for the 1928 Olympic Games, the square was never really finished; nor did it when the Amstelveenseweg was connected to the Amsterdam ring road, effectively making the square an entrance to the city.
Based on the urban master plan that Floris Alkemade / OMA drew up in close consultation with local residents, the square has been redesigned by West 8. Two buildings, a residential building with a mixed program and a hotel, branch on the block structure devised by Berlage.

TWA Hotel at JFK International Airport
Eero Saarinen’s iconic 1962 TWA Flight Center at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City is among the most significant examples of mid-century modern architecture in the world. The landmark was shuttered for nearly 20 years after the airlines went out of business in 2001, but was later protected in 2005 when it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Eventually, the terminal was saved when MCR and MORSE Development won the bid to turn the historic landmark into a hotel for the 21st century, which eventually opened in May 2019.
The historic Flight Center underwent a total restoration by Beyer Blinder Belle Architects and Planners, LLP; the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Preservatio... More

Grünbaumstraße
Human life paths are dynamic and subject to cycles. It is therefore desirable to create forms of housing that can react flexibly to the needs of people and life situations. The "Grünebaumstraße" project, with a gross floor area of 4,700 m², takes this flexibility into account. All apartments can be connected and used for living and/or working. The building has been planned barrier-free and has become a house with a wide variety of tenants due to its changeability.For example, the student flat share lives between a young family with a handicapped child in a wheelchair, the father has a small apartment added as an office, and an older couple who have sold their large single-family home.The ground floor of the building is offic...
