150 North Third Street Residential Complex / JBAD

March 19, 2022 Bianca Valentina Roșescu 0

As a prime example of a growing trend of urban infill and adaptive reuse projects, 150 North Third Street saves a 120-year-old warehouse structure and repurposes the building and surrounding parking lots as a mixed-use residential project. The historic, 5 story masonry and heavy timber structure was converted to apartments and expanded with a 5 story addition, configured in a “L”-shape, for a total of 79 apartments and 100,000 square feet. The addition and an amenity deck are raised above a concrete podium which provides limited on-grade parking for 27 cars. Retail space is located on the ground floor of the existing building and in a new 3,000 square foot, 1 story building on Third St.

The opportunity came for us to design a mixed-use building in the city of Santa Rosa, a small town located near the border with Argentina. Its horizontal landscape is marked by the surrounding farming fields, which still shape the visible limits of the city. In the last decade, a great number of new buildings have emerged, transforming the shape of the city with structures mostly alien to its urban life and identity.

Electra Electronic Industry Centre / A+noima

March 19, 2022 Andreas Luco 0

The Electronic Industry Centre in Iași brings together 11,000 square meters of production, office, technical and representation spaces, in a compact set of three industrial halls. They are linked together by a central body, which houses the common functions. At the center of this core sits a connecting “void”. The atrium is a gesture of generosity, a wide and bright place that puts spatial and human relationships first. Each of the three halls is made up of two sections. The 10 m, two-story, section of each building houses the technical and social spaces on the ground floor and the administrative ones, on the first floor. The production spaces are organized horizontally, efficiently in sections that span 20 and 40 meters, respectively.

His commitment to expanding the scope of architecture reflects his profound interest and involvement in philosophy, art, literature, and music.
