The Food and Agriculture Organization office in Phnom Penh is a contemporary extension to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries compound. Carefully planned to sit within its context rather than stand apart from it, the two-story concrete structure responds to the familiar gabled rooflines of the surrounding government buildings through a double-sided gabled roof and a continuous shaded walkway. Bruce Vincentiis The building is organized around a simple concrete volume where the shaded perimeter walkway forms a protective layer between the exterior compound and the interior workspaces. This walkway supports light, views, and cross-ventilation along the facades. Enclosed offices, meeting rooms, and support spaces are grou... More

At the American Forest & Paper Association headquarters, materiality leads. Fox Architects shapes a spatial narrative rooted in forestry, where wood, paper, and light come together to express both industry and intent. A continuous thread of natural material moves through the interior, translating the association’s work into built form. Millwork, texture, and tone establish a calm, grounded atmosphere, while selected lighting, developed in collaboration with Ambiance Lighting, is handled with the same level of precision. The Portal family of luminaires is deployed as a cohesive system, balancing ambient and directional light with a restrained, minimal presence.

AMS is a Uruguayan logistics and foreign trade company with more than 70 years of experience in the local market. Its headquarters is located in a heritage building in the city’s historic center, constructed in 1926 and modified multiple times over the years. Originally built as a bank, the property was gradually occupied without a defined strategy, resulting in a fragmented, identity-less configuration filled with partitions, panel dividers, and dark areas that no longer suited the company’s current programs and teams. Santiago Chaer With the goal of aligning the workspace design with the company’s renewed profile, AMS commissioned Contract Workplaces to carry out a comprehensive transformation that would reflect it...

Caption Caption Additionally, the design considered the building's imperfect volume by strategically positioning the glass to partly obscure this aspect. There was also a focus on incorporati...
