More exciting regeneration updates for Wigan! 😊

Steel, the backbone of modern architecture. 🏗️ The Shard in London stands as a testament to this, soaring skyward as a symbol of human ingenuity and resilience. From its conception, The Shard was more than just a building; it was an ambition set in steel. Its 95 stories of gleaming glass are supported by a colossal steel frame, a marvel that merges strength with elegance. This isn't just a skyscraper; it's a declaration of possibility. The Shard's steelwork is not merely functional; it's the core of its identity. The interplay of light on its steel spine transforms the London skyline, making it a dynamic piece of the city's cultural tapestry. It's a reminder that in steel, we find the fortitude to reach ever higher. #Architecture #Engineering #TheShard

🏙 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

As an architect, one of the most rewarding challenges is weaving modern developments into the fabric of our historical cities. We're crafting three residential towers that will bring 867 new homes to a vibrant London neighbourhood. But these contemporary structures are being carefully designed to complement and preserve two remarkable heritage buildings: a charming Station Master's House and a Grade II Listed "Grange" building. The journey of balancing preservation with progress is complex. Working with heritage consultants and local authorities requires patience, vision, and creativity. But these constraints often lead to the most innovative solutions. The Goods Yard not only provides homes but creates meaningful public spaces - including 22,000 sq ft of commercial space, public squares, and green areas. Which is proof that embracing architectural heritage can lead to unique architectural design.

Renovations are simply exciting 😁 🏡 Whether you own a sleek modern home or a charming heritage property, renovations are a powerful way to breathe new life into your space and increase its value. In today’s evolving economy and shifting housing market, there’s no time like the present to consider making those changes you’ve always dreamed of. Here’s why: 1. Increase Your Property’s Value 📈 – A well-executed renovation can significantly boost the resale value of your home, making it a smart investment, especially with falling interest rates affecting housing sales. 2. Modernize Your Living Space 🛋️ – Updating an outdated layout or upgrading appliances brings functionality and style to everyday living, perfect for any home needing a refresh. 3. Energy Efficiency Matters 💡 – Modern renovations can include energy-efficient upgrades, helping reduce utility bills and making your home more eco-friendly – a must in today’s green-conscious world. 4.

Stay Ahead of Market Trends 🔮 – Renovating ensures your home remains desirable and competitive in a market where buyers are becoming increasingly selective. 6. It’s Your Home, Make It Yours ❤️ – Ultimately, renovations are a way to personalize and fall in love with your home all over again. You deserve a space that reflects your style, fits your needs, and brings joy every day. Renovating, whether it's for a heritage home or modern space, offers endless benefits that go beyond aesthetics. With the economy and industry evolving, now is #timbernerds

🏢 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.
