Zaha Hadid Architects has revealed its design for the 36-story Murray Road project for Henderson Land, in the heart of Hong Kong’s central business district. Creating new civic plazas enveloped by nature, the urban oasis is located in proximity to both Central and Admiralty MTR metro stations. Replacing a multi-story car park, the development is connected to adjacent public gardens and parks, through an elevated base sheltering courtyards cultivated with trees and plants. These outdoor areas seamlessly flow into the communal spaces of the interior. Inspired by the structural forms and layering of a Bauhinia bud about to blossom, known as the Hong Kong orchid tree, the design generates a very wide span of naturally lit, column-free, Grade A office space with a 5-meter floor-to-floor height giving maximum flexibility.

Montpellier-based architecture firm ARCO has introduced a floating residential complex proposal situated in kiribati. the project comprises several modular units, designed to correspond to the residents’ needs in a sustainable manner. the structures are made from wood, prefabricated in the workshop, transported by boat, and easily assembled on-site by the inhabitants. Each unit by ARCO features two levels, with the first one housing a daytime living area, as well as a space dedicated to professional activity. in this way, common areas open towards the unobstructed sea view, allowing communication with neighboring dwellings. meanwhile, the second floor is more private, featuring the bedrooms and the bathrooms. the houses are self-sufficient, including a vegetable roof garden, along with a wind turbine and solar panels which generate energy, while also serving as rainwater collectors. each unit has a filtering garden to treat wastewater (except sanitary). once the water has been treated with plants, it’s discharged into the sea.

A façade of 'solar leaves' forms NUDES' sustainable observation tower concept guided by principles of sustainable design, NUDES has conceived of a net-zero energy observatory tower. the concept, called ‘solar tree’, explores the notion of a modular architecture composed of prefabricated ‘cells’, where people can enjoy views of the surrounding landscape. similarly to the studio’s forest school proposal, the project is characterized by a cylindrical form and an array of projecting balconies. The vertical core consists of a circular ramp that connects to an orbicular corridor. leading into individual observatory cells. these cells are rotated and stacked to create a dynamic assembly that offers varied vistas and experiences at every level. each modular, prefabricated ‘cell’ consists of projecting balconies that allow visitors to step out of the tower’s skin and absorb the landscape devoid of any visual barriers. NUDES has also imagined these cells to house lightweight ‘solar leaves’, which could potentially contribute to net-zero energy requirements.

A few weeks after the first images of apple’s floating marina bay sands store in singapore emerged, the tech giant has now officially previewed what it calls its ‘most ambitious retail project’ to date. the project, which is the first apple store to sit directly on the water, appears as a floating object that offers uninterrupted 360-degree panoramic views of the city and its famous skyline. designed in collaboration with foster + partners, the sphere is an all-glass dome structure that is fully self-supported, comprised of 114 pieces of glass with only 10 narrow vertical mullions for structural connection. Internally, an oculus — inspired by the pantheon in rome — is located at the apex of the dome, providing a flooding ray of light that travels through the space. the interior of the glass is lined with custom baffles, each uniquely shaped to counter sun angles and provide a nighttime lighting effect. apple and foster + partners lined the interior with trees, allowing the green garden city of singapore to permeate the space, while providing additional shading and soft shadows through the foliage.
