New offices and showroom for DOW in Antwerp Design and execution of new offices and showroom for Dow in Antwerp. This new space might be located in an empty floor of an existing offices building with a traditional structure, which was to be kept, but without letting this impact the project from getting an unique character. Yannick Milpas The aim of the project was to promote a collaborative atmosphere that could communicate the values of the company. Meeting rooms, open work spaces and the integrated furniture were designed so people could work together. The arena, located right in the centre of the space, settles as the project heart and as the main sample of the democratic architecture provided by the company. Yannick Milpas... More

Palazzo’s Centenary Square, the largest public square in the heart of Birmingham, currently lacks cohesion or a clear identity or atmosphere. Mecanoo’s design transforms the square into one with three distinct realms: monumental, cultural and entertainment. These palazzos form an urban narrative of important periods in the history of the city; The Repertory Theatre (REP), a 1960s concrete building, the Library of Birmingham, designed in 2009 and Baskerville House, a listed sandstone building designed in 1936. The busiest pedestrian route in the city, what Mecanoo calls the red line, leads pedestrians into Centenary Square. The cantilever of the library is not only a large canopy that provides shelter at the common entrance of the Library... More

The new mixed-use Radius development in the Prestwich area of Manchester, U.K., presented the ideal backdrop for the latest outpost of a trendy, native-born restaurant group called Croma. The restaurateur saw the space as a highly visible anchor for the 45 million Euro, mixed-use town center building. The architect saw that, too, but even more: It could be the perfect "signature space," with 900 square meter in a cavernous double-height volume with large perimeter windows - roomy and bright enough to add a sweeping mezzanine level. "Croma places an emphasis on design," says architect Griff Evans of local architecture firm Ombler Iwanowski Architects. "Their food is not that expensive, but their restaurants make you feel glamorous." Us... More
