The Preserve South Beach creates an identity all its own in the Miami skyline with its new headquarters. Paying homage to Miami Beach’s rich architectural history, the new hub bridges past and present by incorporating elements of the city’s signature Art Deco style with a modern glass window façade. It marries the company’s hospitality roots with its home base’s heritage using a palette of natural elements and expressed stucco floor plates, seamlessly interlacing the landscape into its Gensler-led design. The result is an innovative and uniquely Miami headquarters that is launching its neighborhood’s evolution from a mere resort town to a successful mixed-use community.

W-Mission is one of the highest-quality textile manufacturers in South Korea.

“Tiered Realm” draws on the visualization of ‘home’ not just as a dwelling for two individuals but also as a space for one’s work & community – a world abuzz with creative energy and the spirit of the individual finding meaning within the collective. This residence-cum-studio is designed for an artist couple who work with mixed media & textiles, respectively. The home was conceived as a container for the dynamic dance between work, life, the celebration of collaborative artistic processes, and long-standing friendships. The project is situated in Ambattur, on the outskirts of Chennai – a neighborhood representative of sprawling Indian suburbia, with brightly painted 2-3 story houses occupying tightly apportioned plots of land. “Tiered Realm” deviates from the typical ‘BHK’ format, its burnished brick façade unfolding gently upwards from the street along the west edge of the site, concealing a tapestry of interwoven spaces united by a communicative vertical void.

HB comes from the need to create a spacious, comfortable, and pleasant space when working. That’s why an old warehouse space without natural lighting is converted into an open-plan, bright, and welcoming workspace.

The Visa building is an architectural centerpiece, establishing the neighborhood as a new place to work, play, and live.
