Due to revived attention sparked by an article on ArchDaily, we delve into the design of Object One Designed according to Open Building principles, Object One is a multi-residential building with a structural system that accommodates and encourages changes throughout its lifespan. With a stack of free lots connected via a so-called Smartframe, Object One’s future residents can choose from three unit types and customise their homes to their hearts’ desire. “We strongly believe that every city should have an Object One. They won’t look the same thanks to the distinct processes and people behind it, and therein lies its strength.” — Sascha Glasl, co-founder Space&Matter Object One was inspired by the desire to create a highly functional building for residents that desire and cherish flexibility and diversity in their living environment. They are free to design and realise their own home within the smart frame. A plot passport ensures that the building feels unified despite architectural differences. The end result? A dynamic building in which culture, community and entrepreneurship freely flourish. Read more: bit.ly/48TdHZ1 & Hegeman Bouwgroep I PHI Vastgoed B.V.

Should you focus on the past... or is the future what matters? As someone who works closely with construction professionals in Ohio, it's inspiring to see the incredible work being done to revitalize historic buildings and neighborhoods in downtown Cincinnati. Take the Willkommen Project in Over-the-Rhine (OTR) for example. It’s more than just a preservation effort—it’s a forward-thinking approach to combining affordability, good design, and historic renovation. By restoring 11 historic buildings and adding modern infill, Willkommen is bringing much-needed affordable housing to a historic area while maintaining its rich architectural fabric. (https://lnkd.in/gtHCnia8) Historic preservation isn’t just about preserving the past—it’s about shaping a future that’s both sustainable and economically sound. Cincinnati shows how we can blend innovation, heritage, and community to create lasting progress. If you’re passionate about urban revitalization or work in construction, I’d love to connect and discuss how these projects are changing the landscape of Cincinnati! 🌍 #UrbanRevitalization #HistoricPreservation #CincinnatiConstruction #ConstructionJobs #Sustainability #BuildingTheFuture

As the region begins to think of growth and the future of our major thoroughfares, it is important to envision the possibilities. With the initial feedback from Fayetteville's public input indicating a desire for more 'missing middle' housing types, as well as retail, service amenities and recreational facilities along 71b, the proposed zoning changes aim to address these needs. Collaborating with Groundwork, GEMSTONE Design Studio has reimagined what this zoning change could look like. This would allow for more mixed-use buildings, keeping density in developed areas while preserving natural and working lands. . The remaining public input sessions are 6/5 and 6/6 from 3pm - 6pm and 6/7 from 9am - 12pm. All three remaining dates will be held at the City Hall, first floor foyer.

What’s going on in the custom home market? The custom residential architecture market was Normal in 4Q23. But that doesn’t mean demand was “meh” across the sector. Qualitative insights from our US Custom Residential Architecture Index (in partnership with SOLA Group, Inc.) reveal nuances: ➡ Costs are hampering middle-market clients while high-end custom demand chugs along. One respondent noted that demand is booming above the $2 million build cost, whereas demand is slowing below the $1 million build cost. ➡ Project mix is shifting. The lock-in effect is propping up demand for renovations and additions, while higher costs are hurting demand for new builds. Maegan Sherlock Mikaela Arroyo S.

🏗️ Showcasing Innovation in Urban Development within the Bowen Hills PDA In the heart of Bowen Hills Priority Development Area, Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) is spearheading transformative efforts to redefine urban space. Our Development Assessment team is leading the charge, driving forward new housing typologies that exemplify the future of inner-city living in Brisbane. Brewers Terraces, a JGL Properties Pty Ltd concept, architecturally crafted by Blight Rayner Architecture, stands as a beacon of innovation. This groundbreaking project is a market-leading example of high-quality “gentle density” development with six freehold terrace homes that are a contemporary nod to the iconic terraces of Sydney and Melbourne, a first for Brisbane. The terraces offer efficient land use at a human scale, blending private residences with adaptable commercial spaces - all equipped with EV charging facilities. "The approval of the Brewers Terraces project is a testament to the collaborative synergy between EDQ and housing providers," remarked Ben Lyons, Director at Urbis. "EDQ's adaptable policy framework and outcomes-driven approach during the development assessment phase were pivotal in bringing this visionary project to fruition." This partnership underscores EDQ's unparalleled ability to expedite priority developments while delivering meticulously crafted environments that cater to the evolving needs of urban dwellers. By striking a delicate balance between density and amenity on compact inner-city sites, EDQ continues to shape the urban landscape with ingenuity and foresight.

Clever redesign achieves Development Consent With clever redesign and experienced negotiation, Dickson Rothschild took this project with site legal issues, a bulky design and complicated coastal site issues, and helped to fast track a development consent at Section 34. The result is a high-density development offering housing types demanded by the local market, within an attractive street frontage and a human-scale buildings design.

Buying a home, especially for young and first-time buyers, has become increasingly difficult. Multifamily housing is emerging as a critical component in developing equitable cities. ”Across generations and socioeconomic backgrounds, a mix of housing options makes cities more lively, sustainable and human…. Equitable housing begins with policy and planning, but it’s also tied to design. Architects worldwide are considering this idea and how to create more beautiful, integrated housing that reflects how we live today.” – Eric Baldwin In the following essay, the author compares multifamily housing concepts in projects designed for both rental and ownership, from around the world. These initiatives not only reflect a cultural transition, but also highlight the current architectural emphasis on housing's vital role in the construction of urban environments.

In this video, Lindsay Puckett, AICP explains how the growth of suburbs, influenced by new urbanism, has led to a decline in sidewalk activity. As people move away from first-ring neighborhoods, they often face the inconvenience of having to drive for every errand due to a lack of sidewalks and grid street layouts. Lindsay emphasizes the need to reintroduce pedestrian-friendly features and better connectivity to encourage walking and improve accessibility in these suburban areas.
