'Third spaces' like markets provide an important social and entrepreneurial value to the neighbourhood Heaped plates of Columbian stews, cheap phone cases, £1 vegetable bowls and small nail salons; the Nag’s Head is a thriving covered market in Seven Sisters, north London, that has been serving its local community for over 30 years.    Tasked with retaining the existing character of the market while delivering much-needed strategic interventions, architecture practice Office S&M has delivered a celebratory renovation that looks to secure the Nag’s Head’s continued existence in a rapidly changing area.    The studio was originally commissioned by Finsbury Park in 2016 to support existing traders with visual merchandising, but its relationship with the market developed outside of the standard architect/client brief. "The market was a really key location in the area;’ says practice co-founder Hugh McEwen. "But it wasn’t doing things as well as it could for either the traders or the local community. The council knew that they needed some help but didn’t quite know what or quite know how."

What do we gain when we blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living spaces? This modernist villa, with its striking floor-to-ceiling glass panels and seamless integration with its lush surroundings, embodies a trend that's reshaping contemporary design: the dissolution of the divide between inside and out. The precision of concrete paired with expansive glass fosters transparency and openness, making nature an essential part of daily living. My own experience with a recent project echoes this—clients shared how such designs enhance their sense of wellbeing, cultivating a connection with nature even indoors. With a 23% increase in demand for such hybrid spaces in residential designs (Architectural Digest, 2022), this isn't just a passing fad. It signifies a deeper shift towards creating sanctuaries that offer peace in the midst of urban chaos. How do you see this blending of environments influencing future architectural projects? Let's explore this evolving trend together. Share your thoughts below or reach out to discuss further!

This is what I'm talking about my biophilic friends. 🙁 I have often mentioned in conversations I've had with Nuria Muñoz Arce, Sophie Lacey and Catalina Zabala, about how disappointing Seattle architecture is. It's as far removed from biophilic design as one can get. And it's just ugly. (Though it has its moments at dusk with the reflective contrast of the deep blue/black sky). I was at the top of the hill in my neighborhood and thought I'd share the view. This photo is the new downtown (mostly in Amazon's neighborhood) What do you think? Seattle is a beautiful, lush natural environment. Was this design meant to contrast this with cold reflective glass and steel? Not even mildly interesting. One critic calls this barcode architecture. 𝄃𝄃𝄂𝄂𝄀𝄁𝄃𝄂𝄂𝄃 Most of these buildings were built in the last 6 years. They could have done better. The surrounding, new 2 to 3 story retail, townhouses and apartment buildings aren't much better. Little square box on a larger square box on a larger square box. I love Seattle. Though these new buildings are nothing less than pathetic. Maybe I shouldn't be so critical. Somebody must like this. PS: Any direction from downtown is lush, water, hills, mountain views - and rather awesome.

Havelock II mall isn't just another retail and office complex; it's the heartbeat of Singapore’s most vibrant district. Imagine walking through this dynamic complex, where the architecture itself seems to breathe. The facade, a masterpiece of design, comes alive thanks to the Flexglo™ F21 lights. Unlike conventional surface-mounted lights, these arc-surfaced illuminators diffuse light from every angle, casting a soft, all-encompassing glow that outlines the building’s exterior with precision and grace. It’s as if each light is a heartbeat, pumping life and energy into the structure. Havelock II is where innovation meets illumination, a place where light becomes the heartbeat of the city.

Industry Trends Working on projects in both Australia and the USA positions us with a unique insight into what’s trending. It’s simple. Building costs are high so architects, designers and developers want more bang for their bucks. For commercial fit-outs, restaurants, bars and residential developments, we’re working on multiple projects with our US manufacturer GTM Artisan Metal which are combining aesthetics with functionality to enhance the space and create atmosphere. Here in Brisbane, CASA Chow, designed by Collectivus, is a perfect example. With the simple addition of backlighting, a daytime feature is instantly transformed and elevated for nighttime guests. Quite simply, this space feeeeeels good. #urbanmetaldesign #businessinbrisbane #interiordesign #decorativescreens
