Downshifting in the charming Las Catalinas, where stress is simply left behind. 💙✨ Stress is an inevitable part of life, but if there's one thing we can learn from the Centenarians, it's the art of embracing stress-relieving rituals. Just like the Okinawans who honor their ancestors, the Adventists who find solace in prayer, the Ikarians who recharge with a heavenly siesta, and the Sardinians who indulge in a vibrant happy hour, Las Catalinas has discovered the power of downshifting. In this haven of tranquility, we designed the layout to overlook the natural landscape around the town, as well as the ocean, where stress is gently swept away by the soothing sound of crashing waves and the refreshing ocean breeze. Learn more about Blue Zones and our ongoing Las Catalina's project in the link in our bio. 🌊🕊️🌿#BlueZoneBliss #naturearchitecture #vallevalleandpartners • • • • #architecture #urbanism #newurbanism #townplanning #urbanplanning #mixeduse #masterplanning #bluezone #greenurbanism #design #sketchup #autocad #worldarchitecture #sustainabledesign #architecturestudio #architecturedesign #vallevalleinc #vallevalle #miamiarchitects #costarica #lascatalinas

Sustainability in precinct planning is more than Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) and trees. In our projects we will also always try to propose paths along topographical lines to reduce natural stresses, to retain all existing buildings, to insert new buildings into the damaged places, to set a framework for nature to regenerate, to educate visitors about natural systems, sustainable strategies and indigenous culture, to connect canopy across the precinct and beyond, to make walkable precincts at gradients of less than 1:21, to set building zones and envelopes to facilitate the best orientation for buildings for passive design...there’s more of course. To see one example of our work in precinct planning you can look to the Henley Precinct plan, feedback collection has been just been closed, but the documents for public exhibition are still available for viewing at https://lnkd.in/dEvW3xb9. Located on Wallumadegal Country, the Henley Precinct is an 8.6 hectare public space alongside the Parramatta River in Hunter's Hill Council. #urbanism #urbandesign #architecturensw #architecture #precinctplan #masterplan #community #culture

The Kent Stainless ‘Kilkenny’ shelter is so named as our first client for it was Kilkenny Leader Partnership. The shelters can now incorporate #RTPI Screens from Daktronics and Help Points from Gaitronics. We have now delivered 6 of these #shelters to various rural towns in Kilkenny. These are sued when the traffic throughput is not high enough to allow for advertising subsidized shelters. They arrive on site fully assembled and drop in place in one lift. The standard glass side panel here is 1050mm – but for urban areas that require a narrower footprint, this can have a 630mm width. In this case, the RTPI can be moved inside the shelter to the rear of the back panel.

🌆 The Magic of Historic Preservation in Modern Architecture and Planning 🌍 In our ever-evolving urban landscapes, there’s something profoundly special about weaving the old with the new. As an architect who’s been fortunate to work on both cutting-edge designs and cherished historical landmarks, I’ve come to deeply appreciate the magic that historic preservation brings to modern architecture and planning. 🏛️✨ Historic preservation is much more than keeping old buildings standing. It’s about storytelling, legacy, and the human spirit. These structures whisper the tales of our past, offering a rich tapestry of culture and history that grounds us. When we blend these timeless elements with contemporary design, we create spaces that are not only visually stunning but also deeply meaningful. Here are a few reasons why I believe historic preservation is indispensable in modern architecture: 1. Cultural Continuity: Preserving historical buildings maintains a sense of identity and continuity within a community, fostering pride and connection among residents. 2. Sustainability: Reusing and repurposing existing structures can significantly reduce the environmental impact of new construction, aligning with sustainable development goals. 3. Economic Boost: Heritage tourism can drive economic growth, attracting visitors and boosting local businesses. 4. Educational Value: These sites serve as living museums, offering educational opportunities about architectural history and design evolution. In our journey to shape the cities of tomorrow, let’s remember to honor the whispers of yesterday. By embracing historic preservation, we can create urban environments that celebrate our shared heritage while paving the way for a vibrant future. 🏙️🌿 Join me in this mission to blend history with innovation and make our cities timeless. Follow for more insights on sustainable architecture and urban planning. #Architecture #HistoricPreservation #UrbanPlanning #Sustainability #CulturalHeritage #InnovationInDesign
