The spiral, the symmetry, the specific safety solutions: the Axis Towers stand out for all the right reasons. These twin spiral-shaped structures can withstand Tbilisi’s often harsh weather conditions and even its seismic activity. Our Reynaers Aluminium façade solutions, windows, and sliding systems help visitors enjoy their stay at this multifunctional high-rise building even more. Tamar Digmelashvili Basically, the Towers are designed as "city within a city." Their multipurpose set-up allows residents to live, work, and relax without having to leave the buildings. And like in every other city, there is always something happening. A public recreational area between the 147-metre-tall complex makes it a popular meeting p... More

The Museum Hotel Antakya is located at the center Antioch which is used to be known as the world’s fourth-largest developed city during the Roman Empire’s reign according to the ancient sources. The site – approximately 20,000 sqm – is very close to Christian World’s one of the most important pilgrimage sites, St. Pierre Church. In 2009, the client, an investor who wished to build a five-star hotel, started excavation for a conventional hotel project which was already commissioned to a different architectural group. As soon as the process began, significant archeological artifacts were found and at that point the Cultural and Natural Assets Protection Board demanded the investor to initiate a scientific archeol...

The Marolles have a long and eventful history. The land ,that was made available by the social housing company “De BrusselseHaard” to build four social apartments and a local clubroom, is the result of the demolition of a large neighbourhood for the construction of the Tanneur social quarter.   The small narrow corner plot forms a break in the old urban fabric, it is a lost corner that is stuck between 2 residential typologies: the typical Brussels folk house on the one hand and a mastodon of a concrete apartment building on the other.   The immediate environment of the project has been the main source of inspiration in determining the vertical enveloping curve of the streetscape. It has been decided to build two e... More

The 247 Residence is a 10,000-square-foot home designed for a family of three with a vast community and a penchant for entertaining. From cocktail parties to family holidays, fundraising luncheons to themed events, the family regularly welcomes guests into their home. They also have a small child, and value their privacy.   In designing their home, our goal was to optimize the space for both events and privacy, taking into account the various ways in which homeowners and guests alike will interact with the space. The home was designed to accommodate various types of events—large and small, indoors and out, casual and formal—in addition to the basic needs of day-to-day.    On the ground level, we placed a drama...

On the raised level the canteen is located, which, underneath the canopy, has a terrace overlooking the hockey fields. There is room for a business club on the pavilion’s level. The smart façades consist of light grey, preserved pine... More

The Antwerp ring is a typical infrastructure with large scale programs being housed in even larger building volumes. In order to be in this ring culture, this new Freinetschool is looking for height by stacking a three-level primary school on top of a single-level elementary school. On a rather specific plot dragged around an existing sports hall, a school environment is sought to compact where it is needed and thaws and embraces where it is desirable. Around the polyvalent hall, the gathering place and the heart of the building, the elementary school extends in this green environment. In continuation of the polyvalent space, the playground is hidden behind the school while the building on the other side ends in a canopy that seals around t... More

“Lux mare” means "light of the sea" and the name was chosen because of the light that the ocean, which extends as far as the eye can see, reflects. This is because of its unique location and view. The surrounding area is comprised of isolated houses, most of which were built in the 1970s with gardens around them. © Fernando Guerra | FG+SG The two large plots had a two-floor dwelling in a very poor state of repair and another unfinished construction that is in the wrong place with the wrong size. This means that new constructions are the best solution to re-establish some balance and quality that the site deserves. © Fernando Guerra | FG+SG The two new houses are supposed to be two individual parts of a set,...
