Agnes’ Have is a residential project that follows a cluster type development model and aims to offer high-quality housing with a wide range of housing types and sizes. We established a clear architectural idea creating buildings that form a strong unified entity, but at the same time each type of housing can be easily identified through material choices, roof shapes and facade alterations. The positioning of the buildings and the roof designs are thought in a way to optimize daylight conditions and give all homes a facade facing either south or west. Generating a community based neighbourhood and promoting social interaction between the residents is one of the main priorities of the project. Agnes Have’s welcoming outdoor areas offer residents many opportunities to meet and stay outdoors. We aimed to create a space for a balanced exchange between formal, organized living areas and opportunities for random, informal meetings between residents. The diversity of spaces in the courtyard allows for a dynamic environment that can be shared and enjoyed by the whole community.

The project is a direct geometric manifestation of the motto, “reciprocity�, where a series of smaller offices stand together in a single constellation, representative of the strength and stability of Die Continentale as an insurance provider. The group of buildings is designed as a ring-shaped composition, the effect of which should be clearly recognizable from near and far. At the southern border to the plot, the buildings are low, responding to the scale of the immediate context. The arrangement of high buildings to the north of the site helps to isolate both the internal courtyard and nearby neighborhood from the noise of the adjacent autobahn and ensures optimal daylight exposure for the interior spaces. The courtyard becomes a common meeting place. This characteristic is reflected in the choice of material; the warmth of the wood radiates the welcoming character of the space.

EnBW is a company that develops innovative infrastructure solutions and stands for a forward-looking, integrated district development. Our design for the new campus is to be understood as a manifesto for the transformation of EnBW. What EnBW plans for the neighborhood of the future is reflected in the world of work we have designed. The simple volume
features a distinguishable concave facade that
welcomes visitors through a forecourt. Equally, the building encloses the green area to the west. To add an urban accent, we raised two corners of the volume. At the same time, this results in a dynamic roofscape that naturally integrates the technical surfaces. In addition to the striking volume, the vertical structure of the facade also ensures an unmistakable appearance. Their vertical slats are made of aluminum that give the volume an interesting play of light and shadow, transparency and opacity.

The atrium forms, together with the surrounding areas, the “EnBW Agora�, which represents the heart of the building as a three-dimensional communication and meeting place. It is the central, connecting element that links all public functions together.

The definitive closure of the steel plant directly bordering the city center of Esch-sur-Alzette and the western end of Schifflange gave place to a design workshop to develop an urban and landscape concept for the future “Quartier Alzette”. Our overall concept aims to preserve the history of the site offering sensible solutions to link the many vestiges of the industrial heritage with the surrounding nature reserve. Through the integration of a mobility concept that is adapted to pedestrian and cycle paths we aimed to promote a human scale neighbourhood. The car parkings are located at the doors of the project to allow The pecularities of the site are connected in a rosary of interesting places of conviviality and memory. The industrial hall structures are to be transformed into different uses that offer a good mix of animation at all stages of development. It is a work that conceives a “European city” with urban instruments proven and effective, while convincing by its robustness.

The proposal creates an exceptional atmosphere, provided that it takes inspiration from the forms of architecture already present on the site and in its surroundings and implements them into new mixed-use blocks. In addition, the scale ratios in the zones of transition to the city are treated to make the progression as natural as possible.

“The Nature Islands” is a project that represents the interrelations between the beings living in Venice and its lagoon: plants, humans, aquatic species. An environment that does not separate humans from the rest of the ecosystem. We believe that in order to rebalance our environment, it is important that man, being one of the species within the immense diversity of nature, should not imagine that he can merely exploit its diversities without destroying these mechanisms of interaction between the different forms of life on the planet. On the contrary, it must reposition itself within the ecosystem on an equal footing with the different elements that compose it, in order to ensure its sustainability. This reflection led us to think of the future Venice by an inverse process of its formation by introducing living plant matter. The project is being implemented at four strategic locations to create a more engaged, global awareness of the future of the city.

The four points represent crucial points in which man will plant the first seed. A natural island will then arise. The role of man in his environment will be to understand how it works in order to continue to make it work and to find a union between man, nature and time. By giving a chance to dreams and hope, we would like to imagine that another way of life is possible. Next page: collages of visions of Venice after the interventions.

The project is located in Queens, along the Roosevelt Avenue, one of the most important arterial roads in this zone and a fundamental point of intersection with Manhattan. The project focuses on this particular part of the district, as it is one of the parts in which the urban structure does not follow a clear rule in the division of blocks and shows a complete heterogeneity. The purpose is to create a new meeting and collision point through the creation of a project based on the idea of rehabilitation of prisoners through performing arts. The project aims to redevelop architecturally and socially this specific part of the city, until now not fully operating and useful, so as to give the people a new meeting place with a singular identity but also offer a function of sharing of space and allow prisoners the possibility to take active part in their reintroduction into society.
