Our NY design team at MKDA joined forces with Lane Office for an inspiring field trip! Starting in Sandyston, NJ, we made our way to the whimsical Luna Parc. 🛤️✨ Luna Parc is an incredible home, transformed into a mixed media art wonderland by the talented Ricky Boscarino since 1989. Spread over 6 acres, it’s made and decorated entirely out of breathtaking works of metal, clay, glass, wood, and cement. 🎨🏡 Our team takes quarterly field trips for team building and a burst of creative inspiration. Stay tuned this week to discover where we ventured on the next legs of our journey through Milford, PA! 🚀 #MKDAdesigns #LaneOffice #FieldTrip #TeamBuilding #Inspiration #LunaParc #Art #Design #Creativity

This is the remarkable transparent entrance to the underground bicycle parking garage Vijfhoek near Amsterdam Zuid station, on the Zuidas, where cyclists enter the bike park with so-called tapis roulants (moving walkways). We realised this entrance in 2018. The result is stunning. Four tree-shaped steel columns support a striking pentagonal steel structure measuring 33 by 4 metres. The columns increase in height as you go down. In the other direction, the façade glass gets higher and higher. The highest point is 4 metres. As a result, daylight reaches the reception area at the bottom of the tapis roulants and enters the stall space over almost its full width, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The characteristic pentagons in wUrck's design return in various places in the parking. For instance, a shadow pattern on the side walls of the entrance, partly made of concrete, and the lightning. wUrck architectuur stedenbouw landschap | Van Boekel #steelglassarchitecture #glassengineering #bikeparking #amsterdamzuid #BicycleInfrastructure 📸 Jan de Vries + wUrck

While most bridges follow a straightforward design, there's one in Uruguay that's capturing everyone's attention. The Laguna Garzon Bridge, designed by Uruguayan architect Rafael Viñoly based in New York, features a distinctive ring-shaped structure. Although its silhouette may seem unusual, there's a purpose behind this unique design. Each half-circle section of the bridge functions as a one-way street, and due to its curved shape, drivers are required to slow down while crossing instead of speeding through like they would on a typical straight bridge. #Bridge #SlowDown #Drivers

Great discussion regarding the journey to a successful real estate transaction and transition of workplace.
Built environment, real estate, and C-suite trailblazers — grab a pen; these insights are worth remembering. 🖊️ We brought together our President Julie Phillips, Investment Management Corporation of Ontario (IMCO) CCO Gayle Fisher, and SDI Design Principal Joanne Chan for a roundtable discussion on why building starts with vision and culture. Julie, Gayle, and Joanne provide insights into the success and innovation that shaped IMCO's new Toronto office — a project that we, Flat Iron Building Group Inc., are proud to have been a part of. The discussion underscores the pivotal roles of leadership, effective communication, and teamwork in ensuring the project's success. Watch these three leaders as they delve into the intricacies of crafting enjoyable spaces and achieving excellence. -- In case you missed it, the 3D printed clay tile "hive wall" from this project won an ARIDO - Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario award in the CRAFT category at the 2023 ARIDO Awards Gala just last week. Enhancing workplace experiences is our passion — congratulations and thank you to all involved, including...

Over the weekend, I popped to my favourite cafe at Paintworks for a quick bite. I’m a big fan of the scheme and having it on my doorstep has been a real benefit to me and many others in Brislington. I even like the latest phase, the architecture works really well to contrast it against the early designs. Sitting there in the sun and sipping my coffee on a little terrace outside the coffee van, feet firmly planted into a tardy old plastic grass carpet made me think of the placemaking potential that has been lost through a lack of thought for the public realm. The enforcement of ‘adoptable standards’, the dominance of carriageways over what little space was left for pedestrians, the excessive road markings, amount of car parking and lack of tree planting are all typical issues on new schemes but is particularly regrettable here, given the quality and the boldness of the approach to the buildings and the mix of uses the scheme provides. That evening I pulled out the IPad for a quick sketch and tried to explore what the potential of the scheme would have been with a balanced street approach. (Yes, I do design in my free time too.) The video below is my ‘quick stab at it’. I looked at how a series of spaces connected by rebalanced streets, punctuated by new trees and allowing the paint from the buildings to ‘spill out’ into the streets would transform it. Looking at the scheme from this perspective also made me wonder whether a new pedestrian bridge to the future redevelopment of St Phillips Marsh could help realise the Paintworks full potential? In all honesty, I don’t expect this transformation to happen any time soon which really brings home why getting it right first time is so crucial, and why it’s important to think of good places holistically, starting with the public realm. I’ll sign off on a Jan Gehl quote (naturally): First life, then spaces, then buildings - the other way around never works. #urbandesign #placemaking #publicrealm #sketch

Great way to make and town or city more interesting.
If you happen to be in Denton, don't miss out on the chance to catch a glimpse of the newest wrapped traffic box! Located at the intersection of Carroll Blvd. and Congress St., this unique design is hard to miss.🤩 It's a perfect example of how public art can bring life to any urban landscape! #speedproirving #design #vinyl #largeformat #denton #graphics City of Denton

Elevating the concept of a woodland retreat, behold a bi-level cabin harmoniously emerging within the untamed wilderness. Captivating the beholder with its transparent façade, the walls of glass seamlessly blur the boundary between shelter and nature. Transcending mere functionality, offering a harmonious synthesis of dwelling and environment, this architectural gem is a manifestation of aesthetic prowess, inviting inhabitants to revel in the splendor of a thoughtfully designed outdoor space and a swimming pool whilst gazing upon the picturesque landscape. Nestled by the tranquil lakeshore, this cabin becomes a sanctuary for experiencing the crisp autumn air amid a harmonious tapestry of serene woodland vistas, fostering moments of familial bliss.
