Developers LaSalle Investment Management, Lipton Rogers and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) say they have listened to feedback and made "substantial" revisions to the 1 Silk Street plan, and have reduced the western section of the block by three storeys. The original plans for the 1980s former Linklaters building involved demolishing it and building a block of two towers, each standing 20 storeys above the ground floor.

The Frank Gehry-designed Tin House sits behind wooden gates on 3.2 mountainside acres with such amenities as a rock-climbing wall, a lawn suitable for soccer practice, animal coops and hutches and a four-stall barn. The two-story Modern-style residence, created for renowned abstract painter Ron Davis and built in 1972, is constructed of corrugated metal.

This project is an architect's home and office located in a densely populated residential area of Tokyo. As there were other houses adjacent to the boundary of the site on all sides except for the north side, where the road is located, it was decided to install a large window facing the road, but the challenge was how to create a bright garden view through the north-facing window.

The 8,500-square-foot Loacker Galaxy references the manufacturer's goods and packaging in three key areas. From the mezzanine, guests can peek into the lab or head into the production space themselves, where they can make their own goodies. The brand's bold red hue covers ceramic floor tiles, while silver laminate and metal have a futuristic feel. A coffered fir ceiling in the cafe echoes the look of favorite biscuits, and brings in a natural warmth.

"I just thought, 'Why don't I buy one?'" says Ben, when he saw an older bungalow in their favourite village, one row back from the beach - the perfect place for a coastal home.

Designed by the architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron, the center's cavernous galleries and outdoor areas have been shaped and proportioned to let Calder's kinetic mobiles move slowly in the natural airflow of the building, and to allow visitors to walk through and around his large-scale sculptures, or "stabiles," in the changing hues of year-round open-air daylight. "The pieces transform as you move around them and through them and with time," says Jason Frantzen, a partner at Herzog & de Meuron who led the design team.

Renewable energy systems in commercial architecture often remain hidden behind facades or tucked away on rooftops, treated as necessary but unsightly additions to building design. This approach misses opportunities to celebrate sustainable technology as part of the architectural experience, particularly in industries like wine making, where connection to natural cycles and environmental stewardship could enhance rather than compromise the visitor experience.

Positioned at the heart of this redevelopment area, the project has been described as Taiwan's most significant cultural initiative of 2025. SANAA's design follows the guiding idea of creating 'a library in a park and an art museum in a forest.' The building is lifted above ground level, allowing natural light and park breezes to move freely through shaded plazas that provide open, permeable access from all sides.

Glass already has a mesmerizing quality fragile yet enduring, transparent yet expressive but scaled up into furniture, it becomes almost hypnotic. In his debut collection, designer Clive Lonstein pushes the material beyond its expected forms, transforming it into sculptural tables that feel all at once grounded and ephemeral. Made in collaboration with art and design gallery STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN, the limited-edition Glass by Clive Lonstein collection highlights the powerful qualities of this material, elevating glass as the main attraction in any room. While many contemporary designs lean heavily into aesthetics at the expense of usability, Lonstein takes a stand for both.

So when I got the invite to check out Octant Douro earlier this spring, I jumped at the chance to spend the weekend at a property I've been lusting over for a year. Our group was also the first to experience the property's brand new House Collection, a group of 20 freestanding accommodations that include outdoor spaces, full kitchens, separate bedrooms and living areas, and sumptuous marble bathrooms.

Brutal Honesty is a project rooted in direct expression and raw authenticity. Earth-colored retaining walls rise from the terrain like abstract rock formations, defining three terraces.

The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, designed by MAD, features 1,500 uniquely molded FRP panels and organic geometries, creating a floating effect above the park.

The design of the house begins with a simple promise: to preserve the site's nine mature neem trees at all cost.

David Rockwell's designs in restaurants blend theatrical elements that foster community and connection. His career reflects a pursuit of creative risks rather than just scaling projects.

Every project is an opportunity to go further than what is initially thought possible. This loft conversion and top-to-bottom reconfiguration transformed a dark, cramped one-bedroom apartment into a bright, multi-level family home.

The Agnews campus features a thoughtful design that integrates elementary, middle, and high schools into a cohesive space, while honoring the site’s historical significance.
