The iconic VIA 57 West is a shining example of sustainable innovation in NYC. With features like radiant heating and cooling systems enhancing energy efficiency, it's no surprise this project was named one of Green.org's 10 Most Sustainable Buildings in NYC. As the city pushes for greener construction, advancements in sustainable design, like PEX piping, are paving the way for more efficient, eco-friendly building systems. ??Let's shape the future of sustainable design — one project at a time! #NewYork #Sustainability #ConstructionInnovation #PEXSystems #NYCDevelopment

VIA 57 West in New York City, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), is an innovative structure that introduced a new design concept in NYC — the Courtscraper. The structure combines 830,000 square feet of indoor space and 22,000 square feet of courtyard space. The mixed-use project consists of 709 residential units with a commercial and cultural space on the ground levels, as well as a variety of amenities for residents. This innovative building required sustainable technologies throughout, so the BIG group specified Uponor radiant for the heating and cooling system, which improved occupant comfort and reduced energy consumption. The intelligent design and forward-thinking construction even landed the project on the 10 Most Sustainable Buildings in NYC list by Green.org Visual Credit: Iwan Baan

???????? ???? ??????????, ?????? ???? ?????????? ???????? ???? ?????????? ??????????????. _John Ruskin Architecture bears responsibility. We must think in generations, for what we design and construct today can shape an urban space for 100 or 200 years to come. The key is not to fix a building's function for years, but to build it so beautifully that it can always find a new purpose. Buildings that are not only functional but also beautiful are sustainable in the long term and, as numerous successful examples demonstrate, can be repurposed time and again: A church, for instance, that is a magnificent building and loses its function as a "house of God" can find new life as a library, restaurant, office building, residential space, or even a club. If we follow this thought to its logical conclusion, it leads us directly to the essential topic of sustainability. Beauty has a lot to do with sustainability. Its contribution to issues like zero waste and life cycle costing is, in my opinion, greatly underestimated. Together with my team at Philipp Architekten, I am committed to a renaissance of beauty in architecture. It's about bringing the imbalanced relationship between function and beauty back into equilibrium. ???????????? ?????????????? | ?????????????? ?????????????????????? ??????

Studio Kristen Whittle (SKW) Melbourne and Waugh Thistleton Architects (WTA) London form joint venture to undertake sustainably driven projects in Australia. ‘We come together to form an exceptionally strong design alliance to promote the creative use of clean green mass timber technologies set to decarbonise the building industry globally. Combining our design expertise can help solve the looming housing crisis in Australia by promoting the use of a prefabricated systems for large scale urban regeneration projects with a speed to market, community centric revitalising design to construction agenda.’- Kristen Whittle & Andrew Waugh Large scale developments, wherever they are made, are inherently complex fields of activity. The need for clarity and coherence is key to an effective delivery. We believe that a ‘toolkit-based’ sustainable solution is key to resetting the Australian property market. This will help guide local industry and supply chains to NetZero and showcase how to properly and effectively service the needs of the public. ‘Mass timber holds the key to the future. When we combine a systems approach to master planning, building design and managing the supply chain we unlock the creative capacity for architecture to reach its ultimate promise- to serve the community with strong, cohesive, organic and responsive living environments’- said Andrew Waugh. Our combined design expertise, holistic team capacity, and research-based ideas for city planning and building construction link to Australia’s vision for a future green economy with low carbon fast track purpose-made manufactured solutions. We have come together to pursue world class architectural developments in Australia which can truly shape the nation. Our design philosophies embody the spirit of Australia through our fascination of the distinctive Australian landscape and the energy and vitality of its people. Innovative environmental design solutions must permeate each project type at all scales. Our creative partnership will build to achieve the highest global environmental design standards available, encapsulating ‘whole of life’ solutions with an enduring level of quality that our cities deserve- ‘The population needs better and more beautiful buildings than the ones we have been delivering over the past 20 years in the Australian marketplace’- said Kristen Whittle. #kristenwhittle #andrewwaugh #studiokristenwhittle #waughthistletonarchitects #masstimber #clt #prefab #prefabricatedsystems #urbanregen #urbanregeneration #healthycities

On the importance of Neuroarchitecture and the urgent need to understand the public-health ramifications of architecture and urban design. We should rethink the approach to over-minimalistic, pseudo-eco friendly designed spaces and affordable housing. A lot of inhabited spaces today are having a profound negative impact on the occupants' wellbeing.

One of my favorite columns to write for Urban Land is on emerging design firms, and this time is no exception: "Design firms led by Gen X and Gen Y principals are coming into their own in an era of aging cities and industrial parks, rising housing costs, increasing wildfires and floods, continuing urban sprawl, and the lingering dominance of the automobile. The 10 firms profiled here, led by men and women in their 30s and 40s, have responded creatively to these challenges, devising cost-effective approaches to the designs of residences and green spaces, shortening construction times by deploying prefabricated structures, and transforming brownfields for community use."

Sustainability, performance, and safety were the demanding and complex requirements for the HUB Victoria fa?ade renovation. ???? Located next to the iconic Victoria Coach Station, HUB Victoria is a Grade A office space spanning over 30,000 m2. This ambitious renovation involved advanced technical, logistical, and design capabilities, reflecting the high standards of the UK renovation market. Here’s how the fa?ade set a new benchmark: ?? Long-term commitment to sustainability: The renovation reused existing materials wherever possible, cutting embodied carbon and extending the life cycle of the structure. The project achieved BREEAM Excellent certification with emissions 61% lower than London Plan targets. ?? Design precision and adaptability: The fa?ade features 10 different cladding types, including unitised fa?ades, stick fa?ades, and double-skin glazing. These solutions blended seamlessly with both the new rooftop extension and retrofitted structures. ??? Logistics: Located in the heart of London, the project overcame tight site constraints with advanced logistics and prefabricated unitised fa?ade systems that streamlined installation and boosted safety. ?? “The challenge was integrating old and new elements while maintaining high sustainability and aesthetic standards,” explains Aaron Dehara, Staticus UK Regional Director. Aivaras Juodis, Staticus Project Manager, and Modestas Midveris, Head of Installation, add insights into how the team overcame challenges to deliver this complex renovation. The result? A visually stunning and high-performance fa?ade that was shortlisted for Renovation Project of the Year (UK) at the 2024 SFE Awards.

?? Maximizing ROI on Rental Properties with Architectural Expertise: A Case Study of 31 Clifford Way At Saloria Architects, we thrive on turning challenges into opportunities. Our project at 31 Clifford Way demonstrates how strategic architectural interventions can significantly boost the commercial appeal of rental properties. ?? The Challenge: Our client wanted to increase the rental income of their Art Deco Era family house without making it overly typical for the area. The key question was, why would a tenant pay more for a standard property? ?? Our Solution: We proposed a targeted investment strategy. By refurbishing and adding a loft conversion, our client could achieve a 7% return on investment. This included: - Complete property refurbishment - Addition of a 44m2 loft - Major internal alterations ?? Project Highlights: ? The property is located, near Neasden underground station, amidst 1920s Art Deco properties. ? Our design included enhanced living spaces, modern loft conversion, whilst being respectful of the original architecture. ? Saloria successfully navigated complex planning processes, including ensuring the fire safety of the building and that the work carried out met the required building regulations. ?? Outcome: ? The property's value and rental potential soared, offering the client an option to convert it into an HMO, potentially doubling the rent. ? The triple storey garden elevation now boasts enlarged glazing, maximizing light and views over the London skyline. ? The project, completed during COVID-19, was delivered on time and within budget, despite rising material costs and labor shortages. ?? Saloria’s Role: From conception to completion, we managed every stage: - Planning and design - Building regulations and site supervision - Tender process and construction phase support This project not only transformed 31 Clifford Way into a contemporary suburban villa but also demonstrated the power of strategic architectural investments.
