[ad_1] A Victorian warehouse in east London converted into a spacious industrial-style family home is now on the market for £5.995 million ($7.6 million). The brick building, barely visible from the street, is squeezed into an alley in the Hackney neighborhood in the city’s south. But developer Maidenway and London-based Smith & Newton Architects have found a way to flood the once-derelict warehouse with light after years of renovations. “It’s definitely a labor of love for this project,” the company wrote on social media when the home was completed last year. The company said the scheme, launched in 2018, had…

[ad_1] McGill University is known as the “Harvard of Canada”. The Montreal university, which enrolls 38,000 students a year, will expand in part with the help of Diamond Schmitt and Lemay Michaud. The project, called New Victoria, will restore parts of the Royal Victoria Hospital, a historic Canadian landmark. The hospital was originally designed in 1893 and consists of three free-standing pavilions in the Scottish Baronial style.

[ad_1] Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych (FSO) in Warsaw was the mainstay of Polish industry for much of the 20th century. Starting in 1948, it produced 4 million vehicles in 60 years and provided employment to more than 20,000 people annually.

Eventually, GM shut down operations at the plant in 2011 following a series of trade deals between the United States and South Korea. Now, 6.5 million square feet of industrial land on the east bank of the Vistula River is…

[ad_1] From the outside, the building designed by Spanish architects OHLAB looks a bit like a larger version of the Popsicle House you built as a kid. However, the wooden slats that cover the facade of Palma’s residential complex are more substantial. As the designers note on the project description page, they filter sunlight, creating changes in lighting and shadow. It’s part of a trend among energy-efficient designers who are trying to use better materials and geometries to control the temperature of buildings. The concept, known as passive architecture, aims to achieve “rigorous levels of energy efficiency” without sacrificing comfort,…
