I-395 PEDESTRIAN BAYWALK & BIKEWAY

The future Miami Baywalk connection in front of the cultural district exemplifies a preeminent opportunity to demonstrate sustainable and socially conscious leadership for our nation’s future infrastructure. The holistic design philosophy layers a profound set of solutions woven together to establish new transit connectivity for the City of Miami and heighten broad community access to ecology, science and the arts within a cultural center of the Biscayne Bay. The project has the potential to become both a local and international destination that will contribute to the cultural and economic engine of Miami. Caption The primary purpose of the project is to establish pedestrian continuity of the Baywalk under the MacArthur Causeway... Más

Van Leesten Memorial Bridge

The new Van Leesten Memorial Bridge reworks abandoned freeway infrastructure (I-195) to connect five prominent neighborhoods and institutions within the city. Acting as a pedestrian center, the pedestrian bridge not only performs as a practical connector between regions, but also offers multiple programmatic interventions to encourage community connection and social engagement among city residents. The project captures a potential much larger than that of a pure connector. It leverages integrated program elements to serve as a mediator between urban and ecological spaces, allowing east and west to become a singular public space.

World of Volvo

World of Volvo is a joint venture between Volvo Cars and the Volvo Group. This new 22,500-square-metre experience centre is located in central Gothenburg, the city where Volvo’s journey began in 1927. Designed by Henning Larsen, the project integrates computational parametric design with mass timber. The impressive main structure, made from glued laminated timber (glulam) and cross-laminated timber (CLT), forms three majestic tree trunk-like columns arranged in a mathematical pattern. Spreading outwards, these columns support the roof’s entire mass. Rasmus Hjortshøj Rasmus Hjortshøj   Allemansrätten: the right to roam World of Volvo is designed around the Swedish concept of “Allemansr&a... Más

Sahara Mall Riyadh

In 2019, we were commissioned to create a series of sculptural benches for Sahara Mall in Riyadh, transforming public seating into an artistic and functional experience. The project brought together parametric design, advanced digital fabrication, and meticulous craftsmanship, resulting in a collection of 16 benches and 6 Rain Gatherer tables. Caption Parametric Design: The Intersection of Math and ArtAt the heart of the project was parametric design, an approach where complex forms are generated using algorithms and computational modeling. Unlike traditional furniture, these benches were not drawn by hand but calculated through precise mathematical formulas, allowing organic, fluid shapes that feel both natural and futuristic. Cap...

Flagship KLO Petrol Station in Kyiv

CONCEPTO PRINCIPAL La estación de servicio insignia de KLO en Kiev está estratégicamente ubicada en una arteria de transporte clave, la Avenida Mykola Bazhan, que conecta el Aeropuerto Internacional de Boryspil con el centro de la ciudad. La solicitud del cliente de crear una estación única se refleja en el diseño exterior fluido y ondulado, que proporciona sombra solar, acentúa la entrada principal con su curva y une las amplias alas de la estación con el edificio central en una estructura cohesiva. La capa exterior de la fachada está compuesta por paneles planos montados sobre un marco de metal, con iluminación integrada en los bordes, lo cual permite una funcionalidad... Más

Royal de Versailles' Rolex Boutique

Aided by cutting-edge digital technologies, Royal de Versailles’ Rolex Boutique embodies the high-precision craft, design, and construction that has defined the watch’s timepieces for over one hundred years. The digitally fabricated limestone facade underlines a fidelity to craftsmanship and material, bringing a modernist high-rise into the 21st century through fluid, organic forms. douplespace photo douplespace photo douplespace photo The language of the existing modernist façade is seamlessly integrated down into the mullions of the storefront, where the rhythm of the columns recalls the patterns of a watch’s band links.

Detail: Henning Larsen’s World of Volvo is a study in mass timber construction

El «Mundo de Volvo» abrió sus puertas a los visitantes en la primavera de 2024. El nuevo centro de experiencias, una empresa conjunta de Volvo Cars y el Grupo Volvo, está situado en el centro de Gotemburgo, la ciudad sueca donde comenzó la andadura de Volvo en 1927. El proyecto, realizado por el estudio de arquitectura internacional Henning Larsen, es un estudio de construcción masiva en madera. Con una superficie de 22.000 metros cuadrados, el edificio está construido con madera laminada encolada (glulam) y madera contralaminada (CLT). En el interior, tres majestuosas columnas en forma de tronco de árbol están dispuestas en un patrón matemático y se abren en abanico... Más

Panzhou International Hotel

Located in the Central Business District of Gaozhou in Maoming, Guangdong Province, the project is planned to be a high-rise city landmark with a height of 150m. The site is next to the largest shopping mall in the local area, and given the fact that this project is the final development phrase of the plot, all other volumes have been completed and put into use from the very beginning of intervention. SPDG was commissioned to redesign the façade, circulations, and interiors of the 2/3 built tower in 10 months. SPDG This is a project of atypical urban regeneration, as it is facing a ‘renovation’ object that has not yet been entirely completed but has been formed as a whole. A thorough study of major urban issues in t... Más

Office Renovation

The project entails the renovation of an office space located at one of the main buildings of a group of companies in Athens. The guiding principle was to create a timber interior that innovatively juxtaposes organic forms and clean lines. Spyros Hound Photography Spyros Hound Photography Covering the two pre-existing load-bearing columns and parts of the ceiling, the main element of the scheme is a sculptural plywood structure that draws inspiration from the ocean floor. The design fluidly unfolds and enfolds the space as it functions as a unifying gesture above eye-level. In stark contrast, the custom-made furniture was conceived in strong, geometric shapes that address the functional needs of a focused workspace as well as a c... Más

Illyrius

Illyrius was born by the request for a high-density residential project just outside the first urban circle, on an empty lot on the Rruga Dritan Hoxha artery, which connects the city center to Tirana International Airport, and to the coast of the Adriatic Sea. Caption To the ambitious brief, GG-loop responds using the parametric tool “Mitosis” launched in November 2020. The determined solution consists of 4 compact towers, tapered in a way that allows optimal light conditions in the courtyard and in the towers’ apartments.  Caption A modular and parametric system of generous balconies and terraces extends the apartments outwards and integrates greenery into the building. A system of continuous balustrades... Más

Delírios Armchair

Delírios is an armchair that uses both craftwork and digital ways of production. Its basis was digitally designed using parametric waffle programming, which is some kind of 3D modeling that creates a flow structures made with fittings. This structure was digitally made by CNC.  The name Delírios was chosen as a tribute to Flávio de Carvalho (1899-1973), the Brazilian artist who mixed in his creations design, painting, performances, set design and architecture as powerful social criticism. His creations inspire to date the Estudio Guto Requena.    Designed upon invitation of +55 Design. 2020  Concept: Estudio Guto Requena Creative Direction: Guto Requena Development: Bruno Baietto, Bernardo Yono Material: Multi...

Anemos beach bar

The proposal aimed at the formation of a unique identity for the café Anemos Kourouta through the design of its interior implementing a singular system in its internal envelope.  This was pursued by the creation of a continuous inner “skin”, which derived from wind flow diagrams and was based on the name of the café (Ανεμος is wind in Greek). This interior surface covered the interior walls with a total length of 45 meters and surface of 230 m2. Caption The structure is a composite multi-leveled surface that extends gradationally upwards, towards the interior. The frame was composed by curved steel beams and the cladding was made out of orthogonal wood pieces with a gra... Más
