House K / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten
In the far north of the Bregenzerwald lies the small community of Sulzberg on the ridge of the same-named mountain. We built a house on a steep slope in the middle of a densely built-up residential area, which makes perfect use of the limited plot of land. Due to the extreme slope, we have divided the spaces into three floors.
Arrive East Austin Hotel / Baldridge Architects
The Arrive East Austin Hotel comprises eighty-three rooms and a multi-use podium housing two restaurants, three bars, a coffee shop, leasable street-side retail space, and parking. The owner/design team sought to question established anti-public hotel tropes — the grand entry… the “hotel” restaurant… the empty lobby. Instead, the team chose to minimize the hotel identity and create something that is not so much a hotel with supporting amenities beneath than a collection of public-oriented food and beverage establishments that happen to have hotel rooms above.
The Lumen Office Building / Ryder Architecture
This speculative office development was secured through an architectural competition win for Legal and General, which is leased, managed, and maintained by Newcastle City Council. The building, a 9,300sqm NIA with A1 / A3 use on the ground floor, has been designed so that each floor can be split into three tenant domains if required. It is designed to British Council for Office standards with a ratio of occupancy of one person per 8sqm NIA, and to BREEAM Excellent with an EPC rating of A.

La Cité hosts several public and private services devoted to young start-ups, such as Ad’Occ, At Home, Nubbō, and Roselab.
Casa Schneider / Ibarra Rosano Design Architects
Coming full circle…. Casa Schneider is home to the architects’ very first client, nearly twenty years after the Garcia Residence (the first project for both architect and client) was built.
Holiday Home / Orange Architects
Located on the beautiful Dutch island of Texel, Holiday Home is unlike any other residential villa. Instead of dividing the house into different spaces by walls, Orange Architects decided to divide spaces according to the specific use at any moment in time. Escaping from routine is quite literally built-in.
Gables House / Chadwick Dryer Clarke Studio
‘Gables’ is a striking low-impact village home.
A New Smart Future Showroom / pc-|< Paolo Cesaretti arch
Divided into three areas – Retail, Commercial, Customization – the 860 sqm. stand of Jomoo Group at Shanghai KBC 2021 impresses a feeling of renovated energy, a symbol of rebirth after the Covid time. This long period marked for all of us a new sense of community, a better connection with local cultural awareness, and an increasing belief in technology as the way to make human life better. This feeling is delivered by the stand design and the connected key visual concept: dreaming the future with a smile.
Collège Simone Veil / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten + Colas Durand Architectes
The College in Lamballe (Brittany, France), planned for 820 students, is mainly constructed in timber. It consists of two separate buildings: a long rectilinear parallelepiped rests on a gently curved base, to echo the site’s topography and fit in with the landscape.
