Together with co-architects HS-Architekten, MVRDV has turned a dated office building from the 1990s into an eye-catching entrance marker for Atelier Gardens in Berlin. Now bright yellow, the building is completed with a new living roof, and a sustainable timber rooftop pavilion and terrace, accessible via a grand external staircase.

KA13 is located in central Oslo. A formerly dilapidated building has become a bright and fully revitalized, modern office- and coworking space. The project consists of two parts: rehabilitation of the existing building and a new extension, as well as upgraded technical facilities. The extension is predominantly made from a wide range of reused building materials, sourced from different construction sites around Norway.

The breath of creation permeated the house, suddenly brimming with her tools and work. The sculptor needed to add a compact atelier to her home on the north shore of St. Michael Island, Azores. Within the farm compound (where two and a half decades ago our first project The Floating Cloud House was idealized), there is now a new workspace sprouting from the kitchen with two clay ovens, an archive, a reception area for clients, and a showroom and workshop area.

In Tehran’s “Ab o Atash” Park, near the Tabiat Bridge, there was a building that used to be a stable for horse keeping. Our project involved the renovation and change endeavor of this building from a stable to a coworking space and revitalizing it. The transformation from a stable to a coworking space was attractive and exciting. The stable building, abandoned for years, required extensive repairs and refurbishment. While preserving the overall form and facade of the building, we aimed to maintain its identity and give it a new social character by making changes to the interior spaces.

The project aims to create a modern office building that seamlessly integrates with its surroundings. Situated adjacent to the Służewiecki Stream, the building not only serves a functional purpose but also harmoniously complements the surrounding landscape. The geometric lines of the structure contrast with the natural terrain, forming a unique blend.

Dutch studio LMNL office [for architecture and landscape] has designed a simple shed that doubles as a studio on a local property in Brabant, The Netherlands. The project, called Studio Shed, is the firm’s second commission for the clients. In 2018, the firm designed the property’s main house as well as the 4000m2 garden. 

The existing building at St. Olavs plass 5 was built for Oslo Helseråd in 1968-1969. Designed by architect Erling Viksjø, the building has a triangular footprint and is situated on a site which slopes down from St. Olavs plass in the north to Pilestredet in the south.
