Amazon

The facility, designed beyond its vocation as an urban hub, acts as an operator that brings people together and connects them; it reduces mobility time, which increases the reliability of the transportation system. Its naturally lit central module makes the space more welcoming and facilitates decision making about routes. The glass facade reflects the surroundings, creating a dynamic fusion of movements, shapes and colors that enrich the internal experience. As a climate strategy, roof mounted cross ventilation was adopted, inspired by the rich Amazonian architecture.

Traeckaja 25

The architectural concept is a modern reinterpretation of the traditional brick building of the Grodno city center, avoiding stylization and a pseudo-historical approach.

Global Crest Kita Omura

It falls in an area of farmland, with the Omura Bay to the west and the mountains stretching majestically to the east. The building is a generous structure that allows visitors to feel the expansive landscape even when indoors: the large roof is supported by thin 75mm steel columns, and the glazed facade creates a visual connection between the vehicle delivery area and the surrounding landscape, enhancing the sense of openness. The thick roof and the series of thin columns accentuate the shingle surface of the roof, creating a subtle and tense appearance.
