Office buildings can be converted into residential housing! Nathan Berman and Jeff Gural are proving it! If you're still on the fence about this possibility, take a look at their work. And, if you're looking for ways to make this process even more efficient, consider adopting prefabricated interiors. #commercialconstruction #adaptivereuse #officeforlease #officebuildings #destressed #destressedassets #prefabricatedbuildings #prefab

Alkhaleej Mixed-Use Complex : Reflecting on #2021, our office hosted a design competition where the Selected proposal would undergo further development by our entire team for submission as our office entry. At the End my proposal was selected for further development, ultimately representing our office. Moreover, our office's competition entry was chosen as the winning proposal. The complex will encompass a hotel, service apartments, Bank HQ, Bank Main Branch, and a shopping center. The Answer: not just form following function, but rather, form aligning with the best and most efficient utilization of each function. (Performance) - Each Part Looks Different Because it performs Differently Situated within a bustling urban district, the design will seamlessly accommodate and interact with the vibrant surroundings.

Time to enhance that building lobby! #Architecture #InteriorDesign #BuildingDesign #UserExperience #UrbanDesign #DesignTrends #PublicSpaces #ArchitecturalIdentity #DesignInnovation #SustainableDesign #lobbydesign #officefitout #buildingrefit

This article titled "The lobby is back, and it's here to stay" by Anthony Paletta, published on December 3, 2024, on Dezeen, discusses the resurgence of building lobbies as significant architectural spaces. Paletta argues that lobbies, once diminished in importance, are now being revitalized as essential areas that enhance user experience and building identity. #Architecture #InteriorDesign #BuildingDesign #UserExperience #UrbanDesign #DesignTrends #PublicSpaces #ArchitecturalIdentity #DesignInnovation #SustainableDesign #lobbydesign #officefitout #templerockdesignbuild #dezeen

Today we would like to express our gratitude to Archello, a platform dedicated to the collection and dissemination of architectural projects, for making known EXECON, one of the projects developed by our design studio TRESISMO. EXECON is an interior design project carried out in a five-story building belonging to the corporate of the same name. The design concept was defined as “home sweet home”, with the objective that each space would provide the feeling of working from home in the most comfortable way possible. This approach allows users to optimize their operations by efficiently distributing spaces and simplifying their work processes.

Therefore, all information related to our studio will be published from this new account. We appreciate your support to grow again as a community within this platform. #TRESISMO #EXECON #InteriorDesign #Interiorism #ModernArchitecture #CorporateDesign #WorkSpaces #Architecture #ArchitecturalDesign #DesignInnovation #Archello #HermanMiller

A New Era for our Chase Tower 🚀 We’re thrilled to unveil the complete transformation of the Chase Tower, a historic 22-story building located at the heart of Milwaukee’s “main and main.” Originally built in the 1960s, this iconic building had not seen major updates since the 1980s—until now. With a timeless, international design and a focus on modern amenities, we’ve breathed new life into the tower, making it the perfect destination for forward-thinking companies. Our goal was to create a vibrant, sophisticated environment that attracts qualified tenants by offering: ✅ Prime Location: Right in the heart of downtown, offering unmatched visibility and convenience. ✅ Modern Amenities: A stylish tenant lounge, conference rooms, fitness center, and enhanced public parking to balance work and life seamlessly. ✅ Refined Office Spaces: Flexible, light-filled spaces designed for the modern workforce. ✅ Connectivity & Accessibility: Revitalized public spaces, a river walk integration, and enhanced skywalk for seamless city connectivity. ✅ Sustainability & Efficiency: Upgraded infrastructure to align with eco-friendly practices. This transformation makes Chase Tower more than just a building—it’s a modern destination for businesses looking to thrive in a dynamic, connected, and professional environment. #Milwaukee #CommercialRealEstate #OfficeSpaces #ChaseTower #UrbanRevitalization #DesignInnovation #TenantAttraction #ModernWorkspaces #EUA #PrimeLocation #Sustainability

#Gensler's recent analysis of office-to-residential conversions hits several nails on the head: 1. Buildings aren't iPhones - their uniqueness is an asset, not a liability. 2. Deep floor plates do not necessarily mean dark units. They can also mean unique, vertically stacked amenities like gyms, lounges, and coworking spaces. 3. Non-uniform layouts: In a sea of cookie-cutter units, distinctive floor plans and unexpected nooks command premium rents. 4. Selective demolition isn't just an expense; it's value creation. Carving out sections can add light, air, and critically, allow for reallocation of floor area to high-value penthouses or rooftop amenities. 5. Façade upgrades: Not just costs, but future-proofing investments, often subsidized by energy efficiency incentives. However, Gensler overlooks the elephant in the room: #tax benefits. Local and government incentives often drive these projects more than design innovation. Perhaps Gensler's next piece could explore how creative architecture can maximize tax advantages. After all, in real estate, the most influential architect is often the tax code. #UrbanDevelopment #RealEstateEconomics #ArchitecturalInnovation

The New Star Less than a year ago, developers proposed a MAD architects-designed building that filled an entire city block along Sunset Boulevard, just steps from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. After siteline considerations, Foster + Partners has come up with a revised design for a 22-story office tower that features a corkscrew of lush gardens. It is hard to think of a more representative building for Hollywood than this. On the one hand, it pays homage to the circular Capitol Building less than a mile away. On the other, it overflows with multi-colored greenery from every opening. Office real estate has generally taken a real hit, particularly in LA. But this should be a destination space for anybody in the market. https://loom.ly/JLkmIxo #architecture #design #realestate

The design secret top firms don’t want you to know: (It's the detail that sets them apart…🤫) They focus their design energy where end-users spend their time. This is most clear with restroom design. Restrooms are the MOST used spaces but often the LEAST considered. And when they’re neglected, end-users leaves with a tainted experience of the architecture. Top firms know this. So they make sure that they focus their energy on creating remarkable restroom experiences by partnering with The Splash Lab. It’s an easy way to differentiate. The Splash Lab has refined the look and function of thousands of restrooms worldwide. Award-winning firms like SOM, Gensler, and Foster + Partners trust them to create memorable restroom experiences that reinforce their brand. (And so do hundreds of other firms of all sizes) Reach out to The Splash Lab & they'll help to enhance your most used spaces :) --- Thankful for The Splash Lab x Growthitect 2024 Partnership! I love partnering with companies that make it easy for architects to increase their value :)
