Kicking off the week with an update on our project in the Yorkville section of Manhattan’s Upper East Side, 250 East 83rd Street. The 31-story residential tower, Designed by SLCE Architects and developed by The Torkian Group, is nearing completion. The final stages of exterior work is in progress and teams have been focusing on the frontage for the lobby and main entrance along East 83rd Street. The 370-foot-tall structure will span over 215K square feet and yield 128 rental units - we're looking forward to seeing this project completed in Spring of 2025. #MGEngineering #MGEUnifiedTechnologies #ConstructionUpdate #architecture #design #nycrealestate #weengineersuccess https://lnkd.in/emRgCw2G

Delighted to share the ongoing development of the Build-to-Rent (BTR) @homeapartmentsau in Parramatta. This architectural marvel, currently in construction, promises to redefine Parramatta's skyline. Integrating a distinctive blend of traditional tower form and street wall, its strategic location on the eastern fringe of the city center ensures breathtaking views. The design meticulously orchestrates a dialogue between the ground, street, city, sun, and sky, with sky terraces delicately mitigating the building's mass and creating a unique urban habitat. As the BTR model gains traction, its profound impact on housing supply becomes evident, offering a crucial solution to Australia's housing shortage. With a scarcity of housing options, BTR emerges as a compelling solution, addressing the pressing need for diverse accommodation. This project not only exemplifies architectural innovation but also underscores the societal benefits of embracing BTR in the evolving urban fabric of Parramatta. We are excited to contribute to the growth of this housing typology and its potential to shape the future of urban living in Australia.

The project has two clear lessons for governments everywhere, writes Alex Bozikovic: Renovation can be a powerful strategy, and hiring the right designers is crucial. #architecture #building #libraries
"The project has two clear lessons for governments everywhere: Renovation can be a powerful strategy, and hiring the right designers is crucial." My piece on an excellent Toronto Public Library renovation by LGA Architectural Partners. I have to note, though, that this is a good result from a bad system. The architects are badly paid and the City of Toronto seemed ready to demolish a significant public building.

RENOVATION DESIGN — With limited properties to purchase, high rates and construction costs in a post-COVID era, the real estate industry in Chicago has faced a fair set of challenges. In this new transitional era of change, we're working with clients to add extra units to their existing buildings, and take advantage of reduced parking requirements with the City’s new TOD district guidelines. A great example is this existing 4-residential unit building we’re currently working on in the Gold Coast / Old Town neighborhood. Our design plan includes creating 4 new units by rearranging each level in order to add 1 front + 1 rear dwelling unit on the first, second, and third floors. Plus a simplex on the 4th floor, and a penthouse with an overhang on the 5th floor. While the property is not historically designated, we'll be focused on preserving its original characteristics in the renovation design process. Projects like this typically require a minimum of 6 months of planning before starting construction in order to create an efficient and approved project. Follow along as we share updates through the design process, as well as through the rezoning and committee review stages. #DesigningChicago #Architecture #ChicagoArchitect #BLDGPROJ Chicago Architecture Firm | BLDG PROJECTS

Architecture & Design (Australia) takes a closer look at Invercargill Central, an ambitious city centre block redevelopment on the South Island of New Zealand. Buchan project lead, Daren Alderson shares how the design team met the challenge to sensitively integrate the large-footprint development into the city’s existing context and retain a sense of place. "We examined how the city is experienced at every scale, with attention to character, service provision, walkability and wayfinding. The design team analysed all the site’s existing buildings, looking at massing, floor heights, boundaries and heritage protection. This informed the scale and rhythm of the new builds, which sit respectfully alongside retained heritage facades to merge old and new seamlessly within the existing city fabric. The result is a mix of richly layered architectural forms and materials that create interesting and engaging streetscapes."

The neighborhood of Far Rockaway in Queens, NY sought to revitalize a site that through careful planning and design could provide a new gateway into the community. American Hydrotech got involved to provide a solution for the building’s amenity decks by providing our Protected Membrane Roof Assembly with a key component being DuPont Performance Building Solutions' Styrofoam™ Brand Plazamate™ XR Foam Insulation. This new and improved insulation was critical to solve the building's low parapet height and allowed a full assembly to fit within the building requirements. Styrofoam™ XR provides an R-Value of 6.7 per inch, which meant that the total assembly height was reduced, all while maintaining and surpassing required insulation standards.

Association CEO - Strategic Marketer - Chief Executive Officer at EIFS Industry Members Association (EIMA)
While many buildings are noted for their striking street-facing exteriors, the cladding on the other three sides frequently does a lot of the "heavy lifting" for the overall building envelope. The project below cited by The Architect's Newspaper, 37 Hillside Senior Apartments in northern #newyorkcity, is a case in point. Designed by Architecture in Formation PC, and co-developed by RiseBoro Community Partnership and Coconut Properties, this nine-story building sits on a sloped, hillside site formerly occupied by mid-century Baptist chapel. The building offers a striking #copper panel on the street-facing facade, and it is backed by ROCKWOOL Group insulation. The copper will change color as it oxidizes over time. Because the building puts a premium on #energyefficiency, the other three sides of the building are understandably clad in #EIFS. With the "I" n "EIFS" standing for insulation, EIFS helps the building attain extreme #insulation #highperformance, #airtightness, reduced #thermalbridging and other components that helped the project earn NYSERDA and Enterprise Community Partners ECG designations. Moreover, EIFS was a logical choice because it addresses the building's goal for #costcontrol and #affordablehousing too. EIFS is much more #costeffective than #legacy building materials, and RSMeans Data from Gordian reports that an installed #brick wall costs 58% more than an installed #EIFS wall on a new apartment building in #manhattan, and an installed #curtainwall costs 32% more than EIFS. With #continuousinsulation integrated into a singular wall system that can mimic brick, #stone, #metal, #wood, #newconstruction or #retrofit project. #eima #housing #construction #design #affordability #performance #climatechange #carbonemissions #engineeredsolution #modernbuildingmaterial

Works have commenced on site for a full refurbishment as well as ground, first and second floor extensions to a mid-terrace home in Stoke Newington. A host of issues discovered during the design and exploration stages meant that works have ended being more structurally rigorous than initially planned and a lot of the design decisions have been dictated by the site conditions. In this project more than most form follows function and a structural reason is present behind every design move or material. Looking forward to sharing more in coming months and having this realised by the end of the year. #architecture #architect #residentialarchitecture #architecturaldesign #dontmoveimprove #rearextension #refurbishment #kitchenextension #loftextension #scandinaviandesign #scandinavianstyle #architecturelovers #interiordesign #victorianextension #londonarchitects #londonarchitect #londonarchitecture #northlondonarchitects #northlondonhomes #londonhomes #londonrenovation #hackneyhomes #hackneyarchitect #hackneyarchitects #residentialarchitect #londoninteriors #interiorinspo #london #hackney #stokenewington

Have you heard of a "train station in the forest" design? It's when a train station's transport and commercial functions are placed below grade. By doing this, trees can be planted at street level, creating a canopy over time. Read how this reconstructed train station by MAD Architects used this design method: https://ow.ly/yi2J50QFGZZ. #TrainStationDesign #UrbanPlanning #PublicTransit #GreenSpaces

Epstein is pleased to announce our Silo Mixed-Use Development received the Second Award in Rethink the Future's Global Architecture & Design Awards 2023! In the 1850s, Chicago was considered the grain capital of the world. The mill and silo buildings, located primarily within the Fulton Market neighborhoods, are a direct reflection of Chicago’s wheat industry heritage, one of the major industries upon which the city was built. In recent years, as Fulton Market has become more trendy with the opening of new bars, restaurants, residences, and offices, many of the protected historic buildings have been renovated. Unprotected historic buildings beyond the district boundaries, however, are routinely threatened with demolition. One such example was a 250,000-square-foot mill factory, which spanned a 2.2-acre site and included a series of brick loft buildings ranging from three to six stories tall and a soaring concrete structure with more than a dozen silos. Epstein seized the opportunity and developed a design solution that would preserve the character of the existing grain silos while incorporating the modern program elements that would allow the project to be financially viable and profitable.

If, like me, you get a bit weak at the knees when confronted by beautiful buildings made out of wood, then take a load of this gorgeous assemblage of locked-up carbon from BIG Architects. We're still throwing up steel-framed, poured-concrete tall buildings in cities like Manchester and then we wonder why we're off track on our 'climate emergency' targets. #timber #architecture #sustainability
