Malte Kloes Architects are designing a residential and work complex that will enable people with disabilities to enjoy a structured daily routine while strengthening their connection to nature.

A former laboratory and museum are being transformed into a five-star hotel in the park. The design strikes a sensitive balance between old and new, harmoniously combining history, architecture and park. 

A profiled glass shell

In this infrastructure project in western Zurich, the building's structure and technical features are visible through a profiled glass facade. Graber Pulver has created a modern cathedral of energy supply.

Located on the west bank of the Huangpu River, MVRDV has transformed the remains of an old cement factory and the ruins of a failed revitalisation project into the city's latest cultural and entertainment hub.

Experimental Research Building

Run by the Estonian Academy of Arts, the PAKK Pavilion in Tallinn is an experimental laboratory. It focuses on research into timber construction, structures, and facades.

Confident dialogue

In Prague's Smíchov district, Studio Formafatal has converted an attic into a two-storey apartment with a gallery.

Protective shell made of stamped concrete

The four-group nursery school in Espalion in south-west France has two radically different faces: on the outside, metre-high tamped concrete walls protect the open spaces and interior rooms. Inside, however, floor-to-ceiling glazing dominates the impression of space.

Abstract waffle pattern

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Loacker wafer, MoDusArchitects completely redesigned the flagship store in Heinfels, Austria.
