She knows history (not just her own) and has a good relationship with it. She lets herself into the excitement of today but keeps being proud about her old treasures too. there is a square. There is more, but this is the nicest. There is a chapel, a school, a printing house. It’s human, loveable, and good to arrive to. The printing house hasn’t been used for a long time, it was abandoned and in ruins. Just saveable. The town also loves the square. The local architect, general contractor and developer working with us all treated it with love. Everything that could be used was cleansed, reinterpreted, replaced with new elements, prepared for today's excitement and functions. We made a new one from the old one. The empty spaces became ali... More

Dreams + Necessity + Available resources = Project Solving the basic equation of materializing dreams through a bounded Budget, we initiated the construction process of our architectural office. The exercise begins with the experimental transformation process of materials, such as earth, Wood and glass, configuring them between two existing trees: a flame tree, that stays outside but framed, and a guavirá tree, that stands in the middle of the space to share our company.The 30-cm rammed earth walls hold the weight of the roof, resting in only 20 cm of its width, exploiting the structural qualities of this material. All of the furniture and doors are made of recycled wooden forms used in the concrete slab that covers the offic... More

The Delfland Water Authority is located in a historical building on the Oude Delft: the Gemeenlandshuis. The monumental part was built in 1505 as a house for Jan de Huyter. The sandstone facade was unique for that time and it was one of the few buildings to survive the 1536 city fire. More than 100 years later, the house came into the hands of the Delfland Water Authority.Over time the Water Authority has been extended to include several adjacent monumental buildings, and in 1975 a new building on the Phoenixstraat was added. In 2014, the Water Authority decided to revise its housing strategy. The most important task was to make what was once a fragmentary complex, a whole and transform it into a pleasant, flexible working environment that... More

A well-designed office layout was essential for a large corporate like RCL Foods. This award-winning Head Office was the answer. The office design process was a fantastic collaboration between interior designers, novospace, and architects, Elphick Proome. An extraordinary, ultra-modern, functional and truly African work environment was created for their 650 employees, by incorporating a wide variety of meeting and collaboration spaces, test kitchens, public cafe and shop, all arranged around a funky atrium. These different spaces were designed to accommodate the various activities that staff encounter during their workday; allowing for quick 5-minute meetings, boardroom sessions, private phone-calls in the funky phone booth, coffee-breaks a...

E.H. office consists of 1000 square meters on the 25th floor of a 42 storied office building in the Anatolian side of Istanbul. One of the main goals of the design is to create dynamic office employees instead of still, and fluid spaces. For this reason, working and meeting areas outside of the stationary spaces such as the kitchen, storage and IT room that are gathered around the core, are connected to each other and to these supporting spaces with a path. This amorphous path goes through zones in some places and passes them by in others, while serving as a bicycle road and a walking path for the employees of the company, which also produces bicycles. The setting that resembles a park with additional natural greenery has been enriched with... More

With a crisp and clear brief of creating a temporary 18000 sqft workspace for a year, a fun and frolic hyper local transport company - GoJek approached us. With a short term execution of 45 days and budget constraints, this project came with its own restrictions. The site was in a pre-existing building; hence the services were left untouched. “The utter mess” was the first glance and the notion that geared up the design process. Introduction of bright colours to overpower the cluttered exposed ceiling became the concept of the project. The white envelope of ceiling and workstations blending with colours make a refreshing working environment.     Taking inspiration from the active and lively work culture of the c... More

The project intents to be a node for the area, made up of two buildings with different language and image, pedestrian traffic spaces are created, spaces for pauses; it is an urban center that is consolidated to be identified as a milestone within its context, diversifying and giving multiple uses to experience and explore the city. Currently there is a need to engage in a more direct dialogue between the user and the environment they inhabit, therefore, cities expand in size and multiply their road and transport infrastructure as a system that grows in response to natural development of the city; However, the communication and interaction between the inhabitants of the city and the city itself has been left aside, an example of this is the...

When discussing the interior design concept for Veon Armenia's office space, our main challenge was to identify a common design axis that would serve as a foundation to further develop a design around the idea of communication. After many discussions within and outside of our team we came to the conclusion that every person's environment consists of a private space and a public space.As we elaborated on this concept, we identified that each person's communication starts when one leaves one's private space to merge in to a public space. As a symbol of public space, we settled on the streets of the city and that is how streets became the foundational axis for the rest of the design concept. The main purpose of the design is to create an inter... More

‘God of plywood’ is the nickname of the work, implying the quality of products manufactured by the company’s factory. Monotello is assigned for the project to oversee the refurbishment of the factory’s name signage, the products manufactured showroom (plywood wood and the other) and the building ‘s canopy (for sunshine protection). The team reconciled the 3 requirements into the design of the building’s new ‘Facade’ that function as the sign, products showcase and screen protects the building from the afternoon sunshine. Together with the architects’ in-depth study of the plywood figuration, the facade of the Woodland showroom was readdressed by using a system of stacking plywood boards, specifically called “Phenolic board,” placing in the...
