The Merlot Condominium explanation from KNQ Associates:
The homeowners love for The Renaissance cultural movement formed the starting point for the design of this high-rise apartment. This European note begins at the entrance, where we wanted to create a sense of adventure and anticipation.

SPACE was selected from among several architecture firms to design the new final departure lounge for a recognized brand of financial services and credit cards. This project is located at terminal 2 of Mexico City airport.

Toolbox is a professional office located in Torino, Italy in an industrial space. The aim of this design is to create a cohesive design concept that still embraces the diversity of the work group. The designer modulated similar volumes with different materials including cork and rubber. This approach allowed the designer to create a variety of spaces with different levels of function and privacy. The lobby features 400 undulating cubes, and cute icons were designed and placed next to rooms to indicate that room’s function.

From Parasite Architecture Studio:
The design proposal started from generating a completely black box, as well as a shape and as a concept, an abstract space that doesn’t breathe towards the outside world but keeps locked within the memory of events. Therefore the existing windows become showcases for exhibiting and communicating towards the outside, a sort of dynamic information screens. In the first design concepts we tried to cover and hide the existing structure, then tried to ignore it but came to realize that the best solution is to integrate the structure within the general interior design and to multiply it as a deformed projected image on the perimeter walls.Over the actual structure we imposed two elements with the intention of unifying the interior – one is the continuous strip of the perimeter walls that wraps up the entire space, comprising gaming as well as technical areas, and the other one is the artificial lighting that through its dynamic, intensity and color scheme modifies the space and in the same time divides it discrete in different areas.

Camenzind Evolutionhas designed the Google offices in Zurich. The offices comprise seven storeys of 130,000 square feet of floor space for up to 800 employees. On of their design concepts including ‘flexibility of space that allows employees take ownership and feel like they belong’.

The final design strategy involved the creation of highly functional, yet somewhat basic individual workspace surrounded by proportionally larger, highly stimulating communal areas and meeting spaces. Open-plan workspaces were created for 8-10 employees, while glass-partitioned offices were built for smaller work teams allowing for both transparency and light from the outside, as well as creating the required degree of privacy from within. And because the average Google worker moves workstations twice a year, each area has to be exceedingly flexibly and adaptable.
