Henrietta House / MoreySmith

The striking redesign of Henrietta House was born out of MoreySmith’s vision to transform the existing space into a workplace of the future – to be home to global property agent CBRE’s 2,000 London based employees. First constructed in the 1990s, Henrietta House had been used by CBRE for over 10 years and was no longer fit for their evolving needs and growing workforce. The business needed an aspirational HQ that employees could be proud of prioritising collaboration, wellbeing and client-facing interaction.

July 23, 2022 Andreas Luco 0

The House for Dani and Luis is located in the suburbs of Córdoba and is designed for an older couple. The context presents two situations, the ring road and a residential neighborhood, which define the architectural form of the house. The program is ordered in a linear sequence arranged in a distorted grid by the trapezoidal site located in a corner. The organization of the spatial categories is symmetrical, with two wings, social and intimate, rotated 64°. Towards the ring road, a continuous wall 4 meters high defines the façade and delimits the domestic space. It is constituted as the container and circulatory referent of the house, which does not reveal its interior and gives the house a solid appearance of brick and stone.

Located in one of the most beautiful addresses in the Serra Gaúcha, the project is situated in an area surrounded by remarkable vegetation, unique rock formations, and exuberant landscapes.
