“Details create the big picture.” Creating a design that was sympathetic to the period features of the Grade II listed building was paramount with our project working with Raymond James, a rapidly growing wealth management firm. With the building being situated within the Guildhall Conservation area, it was vital that special consideration was made to design to the heritage status of the building. It was important that Raymond James’s new office respected and highlighted the building's architectural history and this was our guiding principle.  Just some of the ways we did this.. - Reimagining Meeting Spaces: We introduced feature wall panelling that echoed the history of the original period details - Crittal glazing complemented the meeting space with a sleek, modern edge, letting light into the rest of the building. - Preserving Windows: The building’s original Juliet windows were preserved and refurbished to ensure the building's heritage remained intact. This project stands as a testament to the fact that respecting history does not mean forgoing modernity, but the two can work together, as long as it is carried out sympathetically and thoughtfully. We are delighted with the end result of this 2200 sq.ft space in the heart of the city.

One of CannonDesign ambitions, The Big Rethink, is all about flipping the tables on conventions and embracing the unexpected. SRG + CannonDesign did exactly that when designing two parking garages for a renowned athletic company. These next-generation structures redefine the typical parking experience by prioritizing placemaking and creating substantial spaces for pedestrian and recreational use. By rethinking the design and purpose of buildings like parking structures, we can transform mundane moments into opportunities for inspiration and connection, fundamentally reshaping what it means to navigate our cities and communities. 🚗 Learn more in this piece by Aaron Pleskac. https://lnkd.in/gmtBx967 #innovation #innovativedesign #parkingdesign #placemaking #rethink #architecture

🏢 Beaulieu: Harmony between Demolition and Conservation   Atenor and AG Real Estate in collaboration with the BMA are delighted to present a real estate initiative designed by a2o, VELD and Kollektif Landscape for their project Beaulieu. This challenging development for residential housing balances demolition and preservation. 💡 The southern bays of the building retain the original architectural elements, while the northern bays benefit from new openings and volumes. The atrium is transformed into an interior street. Vis-à-vis between dwellings is avoided thanks to an ingenious double orientation.   💡The residential typologies are diversified, with adaptable programming for flats, offices, and co-living spaces.   💡The building's post-modern architecture has been reinterpreted with brick accents, giving it an attractive residential character. A large bicycle storage area on the ground floor provides easy access to the future urban boulevard.   This development is highly praised for its coherent integration of constraints and its adaptive reuse approach. We look forward to seeing this initiative contribute to a sustainable and dynamic urban future.   #AdaptiveReuse #Preservation #Sustainable #DynamicUrbanFuture.

🏙 Not all future homes have to be made entirely of glass and metal. We are excited by the idea that we have a role to play in shaping the new designs and retrofitting of houses, workplaces, community spaces, and heritage buildings to better align with the environment and our lifestyles. This will look different for each of us, and we find that prospect immensely intriguing. 🌲Here's one example of a home that is styled to work with, not against, nature. 🦋 📍 Far End, residential 📐 Peter Feeny Architects 📷 Rafael Debreu and Ondrej Mundl. #ecoconstruction #homesofthefuture #ecoarchitecture

In the heart of our urban landscape, we reimagined an existing office building in the Boavista roundabout, focusing on transforming it into housing. This transformation is anchored in the principles of minimalism, where we're stripping away layers to expose the building's fundamental essence. By redefining its facade, our goal is to transform the facade into a reflection of the vibrant and dynamic spirit of the city. In this profound renovation, we recognize the importance of a harmonious relationship with the surroundings. The design aims to create spaces that not only seamlessly blend with the neighborhood but also empower the residents to engage with their public sphere authentically and contained. Flexibility and adaptability are central principles of the design philosophy. We wish that residents have the freedom to personalize their living spaces, allowing them to add or subtract elements tailored to their specific needs and lifestyles as they see fit. We believe that every building is a catalyst for change. This one in particular is positioned to become a central focal point in the area, harmoniously integrated with the vibrant surroundings while safeguarding the privacy and comfort of its inhabitants. images by Bisto 3D Visualization #architecture #designinspiration #sustainablebuilding #buildgreen #greenbuilding #plataformaarquitectura #sustainableliving #MASSLAB

Most co-working spaces offer little to no natural lighting and have cramped working spaces. While some brands have grand lobbies, the actual working spaces can be restrictive. Are co-working spaces still constructive or are they becoming more of a hindrance to human creativity? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
