Design Around the Globe

Doors on the latest and greatest in design are opening around the world – from Gulf Shores, Florida, to Cairo, Egypt. Catch up on four new projects and hear Principal and Senior Engineer Ryan Robley’s take on integrated design.

1. Mass Timber Feature

As timber stores rather than emits carbon, its use for both structure and interior design addresses bold carbon commitments and ESG goals. A quick trip to Austin, Texas, to check out the new T3 ATX Eastside shows how this building model with our partners, 汉斯 , works in action.

This month we’re sharing the latest in timber design. So, let us know what you'd like us to cover in the comments.

2. A Coastal Resort-Inspired Oasis

Just in time for those needing a beach vacation, the AC Hotels by Marriott Naples 5th Avenue opened in Florida this past winter. The hotel is located steps away from the Gulf of Mexico and offers modernized guestrooms and resort-style amenities. Visitors are welcomed by breezeways, open-air living rooms, outdoor seating, and more to enjoy the warm ocean air. The full story and interior design details are here.

3. School Design Inspired by Local Culture

Community pride is at the forefront at Gulf Shores City Schools, in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Our design draws inspiration from the natural beauty of the coastal city, incorporating familiar materials and soothing blue hues. Spanning 287,000 SF, the school offers students unique educational opportunities. From outdoor learning spaces in Alabama’s native wetlands to technology-rich classrooms, this center for learning is a shining example of the region’s rich heritage. Dive into the details here.

4. Elevating Education through Innovative Design

How can we create an enriching educational experience for students and faculty? Our design for expanding The American University in Cairo focuses on creating a flexible, inclusive, and engaging environment. Get the details on the campus’s transformational expansion.
