Almaty Theatre
Almaty Theatre is a multifunctional cultural complex located in the southern part of Almaty, Kazakhstan, against the foothill landscape of the Trans-Ili Alatau. Completed in 2022, the 13,990 m² building was designed by Basire Design as a place where architecture, performance, education and public life come together within a single spatial system.

Light-colored stone gives the building a sculptural and monumental character, while extensive glazing visually reduces its mass and opens the public interiors toward the city and the mountains.

Geneva Car Barn & Powerhouse
Originally the home of San Francisco’s first electric railway, the Geneva Car Barn & Powerhouse is the one of the last physical reminders of that historic transit system. Now owned by the City’s Recreation and Parks Department, the historic building is being transformed into a cultural and educational community center. Phase One is a 300-person event space; future phases for two-building complex will include classrooms and a black box theater for youth arts education.

Rauma is a particular town in Finland. Its centre is listed UNESCO World Heritage because of its cherished and well-preserved traditional wooden townscape. The campus sits by the old town, with which the small-scale massing and wooden facades of the new campus blend.
