The EMBASSY, a new building dwelling alongside Koellnischen Park in Berlin

TCHOBAN VOSS Architekten, Sergei Tchoban

The "EMBASSY" residential project is composed of six buildings that rest on a 22,774 sqm [245,137 sq. ft.] plot opposite Koellnischer Park. The park is located in Berlin's Mitte district, not far from the Spree River. It has a rich history of being a fortified city during the seventeenth century. During the middle of the eighteenth century, it was dismantled in order to expand the Prussian capital. Today, there are many embassies and consular offices located in the area. The Alexanderplatz and the historic center around Gendarmenmarkt are also nearby. The residential complex manages to fit seamlessly into its urban surroundings.

From industrial to residential. An adaptive re-use project in NYC uses the Climate Skin

Archi-Tectonics NYC

Archi-Tectonics' converted a long, narrow industrial structure in SoHo, a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan in New York City. This location is home to artists' lofts, art galleries, trendy boutiques and chain stores. It is an archetypal example of inner-city gentrification. This urban townhouse fittingly regenerates the existing structure into a spacious, flexible 8-story family home. The project doubled the space by adding a 4-story structure to the original and unifying the 2 volumes with a 3D envelope— the Climate Skin.
