| Apartment House Johannisstraße 3 I J. MAYER H. Architects Berlin I Germany I 2012 |
The design for the apartment house reinterprets the classic Berliner residential building with its multi-unit structure and green interior courtyard. The sculptural design of the suspended slat facade draws on the notion of landscape in the city, a quality visible in the graduated courtyard garden and the building’s silhouette and layout. Plans for the ground floor facing the street also include a number of commercial spaces. The generously sized apartments will face south-west, opening themselves to a view of the calm courtyard garden. Spacious, breezy transitions to the outside create an open residential experience in the middle of Berlin that, thanks to the variable heights of the different building levels, also offers an interesting succession of rooms. The units’ varying floor plans and layouts indicate a number of housing options; condominiums are organized into townhouses with private gardens, classic apartments or penthouses with a spectacular view of the old Friedrichstadt.
| Tata Compact + Apartment I logon urban .architecture. design Jiaxing I China I 2012 |
Tata Compact + Apartments located in Jiaxing near Shanghai.

Designed as energy efficient units with double glazed windows and insulated facades, also featuring sun shading. With layouts from 28 to 80 qm the project is positioned as a green LOHAS* community. Not only the users benefit from the transformation of the dull, grey and rather ugly office buildings into new, modern and green apartment buildings, but also the surrounding area strongly benefits from the upgrade of the project.
| Secreto I PASCAL ARQUITECTOS : Carlos Pascal and Gerard Pascal Chimalistac I Mexico City I Mexico I 2011 |
Secreto is a contemporary house in a residential colonial area in Chimalistac, Mexico City. The area where Secreto is located has a historic colonial character untouched by the unorganized sprawl that has occurred elsewhere. The design tries not to blend in the context, but it also keeps elements of the language of the past. The goal in the design is to achieve an interaction between the inside and the outside, a natural transition from the historical outside to the modern interior. As part of the architectonic discourse, and also for reasons of durability and maintenance, very few finishes were implemented, being concrete one of the most used materials for this project , because it does not age or decay, and because it acquires more dignity and history with the time. The result is a house with open spaces where events are articulated by natural light and views from the garden.
| Thom Mun Community Center I Project Little Dream Takeo I Cambodia I 2012 |
Thom Mun Community center is situated west of a small town called Takeo in Cambodia. The center’s main function is to provide free classes to children but is also available for everyone in the village. The design concept is to allow for the community to freely engage in different activities around the vicinity. To reflect this, bamboo panels were used in replacement of traditional brick walls. The permeability of the panels allows for visual interaction, blurring the boundaries between the interior space and the outdoor environment. The pathway separating the two classrooms leads down to a lake where the children often go for either recreational activities or to relax and have fun. The commencement of construction began in December 2011 and with the help of 38 volunteers, 21 staff members and local craftsmen the center was completed in 22 days.

The development is adjacent to the infamous summer retreat Moganshan—area—and involves an 18-hole golf course, 10 low-density residential plots and 6 medium to high-density residential plots. The club house design strives to create a landmark of simplicity and subtlety a floating translucent cube. The—aluminum screen encloses boxes of different volumes and materials, alluding to its rich content and character. The central atrium separates the western hotel box and the eastern public zone, while creating a visual vista towards the northern hill scenery as well as allowing daylight penetration.
| Drexel University Athletic Center I Sasaki Associates, Inc. Philadelphia I USA I 2010 |
The Drexel campus straddles both sides of Market Street in Philadelphia’s University City section. Sasaki’s addition to the Daskalakis Athletic Center (DAC), a 1960s-era athletic complex, accomplishes several institutional and programmatic goals. It increases the university’s visual presence along Market Street, integrates existing and new buildings into a unified complex, and groups all of the recreation facilities into a new building wing. The new building wraps around two sides of the DAC building, providing a new urban presence along Market Street. The main façade is treated as a large glazed screen with meandering folds shaded by the extension of the building’s floors. At street level, the building interacts with the passing urban scene. Paving patterns echo the angular folds of the building, a café is placed among trees preserved and integrated into the design, and a restaurant engages the larger community as well as students. A previously nondescript corner is brought to life through the combination of a landscaped plaza and the center’s climbing wall framed in glass—a further outward expression of a building housing dynamic activities.
| The Spreewald Spa Hotel I 4a Architekten Burg I Germany I 2012 |
Nature, wellness and design—these were the guiding principles for 4a Architekten when constructing the Spreewald Spa Hotel in Burg. Situated in the heart of the Spree Forest next to the SpreewaldTherme spa, also planned and built by 4a Architekten as early as 2005, this 4-star hotel offers its guests a feel-good atmosphere to relax in since its opening in December 2012. The concept for the hotel is based on the architects’ extensive experience in giving rooms an atmospheric effect along with the aspiration to construct a functional, long-lasting and simultaneously aesthetically pleasing building. With regard to the hotel s colour design, the architects have consciously chosen different colours than those of the SpreewaldTherme spa. The Spreewald
