Warehouse GEMA, Montese
Situated on the Apennine mountains near the historic city of Bologna, local company Gema has recently inaugurated a huge new warehouse, entirely devoted to the seasoning and care of traditional and organic Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. A veritable cathedral of flavour, the building has already been awarded third prize for its design by the National Association of Logistics.The hall and office floors echo the mountainside backdrop thanks to one of our wood effect collections, Soul, in Gray tone; for the bathrooms, the company selected the dense resin effect of Elements Design, Beige tone. Hardwearing, clean-cut Diaspro and K-White technical collections cover the floors of industrial areas. Even the terrace is paved with porcelain stoneware: th... More
Esprit Office and Showroom Shanghai
The 2,000 sqm heritage warehouse building, in which the office is located, provided a unique space over 2 floors, which gave the perfect grounds to reimagine ESPRITs first headquarter of the 80s in San Francisco and bring the spirit and essence of it to life. The high focus on design was related to their impressive design heritage with a new handwriting of today’s time.
The discipline was clear: simple space with simple rules. The interior is clean and uncomplicated. Blocks of different heights and different materials give the guidance through-out the open space such as kitchen, meeting rooms, presentation walls or central enclosed rooms for privacy. A very bright space to celebrate ESPRITs spirit and positivity.

Corporate Environments
Our design process began with a deep dive into the legacies that precede Corporate Environments. We explored the history of Florence and Hans Knoll and their contemporaries–the modern masters they worked closely with, including Mies van der Rohe, to produce the iconic workplace furniture loved for decades and still produced by Knoll’s exacting standards today. We studied the details of the existing 1960s warehouse building and it’s consistent, though subtle, references to Mies van der Rohe. We developed an appreciation for the modernist dream of pre-fab mass customization present in DIRTT. What we found through our design research was that Mies formed a common thread in all three legacies, thus providing a lens through whi... More

Bialosky Cleveland Offices
At a transformational moment in its history, Bialosky designed a powerful new identity in response to our cyclical strategic planning. Building the new brand empowered employees to author the firm’s mission, values and graphic identity, and furthermore, build a workplace that exemplifies our culture. Set in a former automobile factory, the workplace fosters collaboration through a light-filled open plan, placing the firm’s 60+ employees on a single floor plate for the first time.
The plan establishes a central core of private and flexible offices, and populates the outer edges with open studio space. The loft-like design studios have a minimalist industrial feel, boasting a clean white aesthetic with Baltic birch accent... More

CAMPERDOWN CHILDCARE
This project sensitively inserts new architecture into a former industrial warehouse building, located in the inner west of Sydney, for a new 80-place childcare centre.
The brief called for a new 80-place childcare centre that would accommodate indoor and outdoor playspaces, an abundance of daylight and natural ventilation and a low VOC materials specification. Dominant bright colours, usually associated with institutional childcare accommodation, were avoided in preference to a palette of natural, honest materials and finishes to create a familiar residential feel. A large cut-out to the existing warehouse roof created outdoor playspaces open to the elements while the remaining roof provides shade and shelter over the new internal... More

Cargo station in riga revamped into a culture venue, By reinis liepins and sudraba arhitektūra
Riga — the capital city of Latvia was one of the biggest and advanced industrial and port cities in the period before the World War I. This 19th century capitalist city — not only brick buildings of numerous factories and workers’ wooden tenement houses but in fact whole core of the contemporary city with its public buildings and multi-storey apartment houses — could be considered as the most significant part of Riga’s identity.
The extensive heritage of the industrial age has played significant role in the fact that the architects of Riga are involved so much in those fields of architecture which are relate... More
