• At Blaak555 a careful balance between a business aesthetic and an informal lively feel is achieved through the creation of public and dynamic common spaces on the ground floor. Upon entering, a combined reception and coffee bar create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Designed to improve and stimulate social interaction, four main areas organise the layout, grouping circulation, bars, kitchen and seating. Corrugated recycled leather gives these cores a distinct identity that draws people together. Areas for focused tasks and collective working border the main cores and have a direct visual connection to the outside. #design #mecanoo #architecture #architectuur #arkitektur #arquitectura #arquitetura 🧑🏻‍💻 #interior #interiordesign Photography by @ossipvanduivenbode

  • Poetry is in the details. Hulme Living on Leaf Street is a fourth generation urban renewal housing development that combines apartments and single-family homes in one building mass. Many existing trees on the plot were preserved by the elegant shape of the complex. A wide variety of vegetation ensures that residents can experience all different seasons. Cycling paths and footpaths across the plot are connected to the existing infrastructure and informal walkways. This way, the building complex and its surrounding public space form one unified urban plan. Image by @g_holmesphoto

  • Shenzhen North Station Urban Design #Shenzhen, 🇨🇳 #China Architecture, #Urbanism #Landscape #Residential, #Office #Research #Mobility #Project #Design: 2017 Urban design for 1.36 million m2 development with offices, retail, apartments and hotel, underground parking, connection to public transport hub, design public space. . With a scheme of twelve staggering skyscrapers, an elevated pedestrian network and a beautiful green urban park, Mecanoo architecten gives the Shenzhen North Station business district a distinct character. The main buildings of the business district are set around a central urban park and vary in height between 278 and 428 metres. By situating the transportation nodes on the subterranean levels, the public park appears as an open green space, something the area currently lacks. #mecanoo #archdaily #architecture #architecturelovers #arquitectura #arquitetura #arquitecture #architettura

  • "Mobility is part of modern society; it is a daily pursuit, just like housing, work and recreation. Therefore, designing for mobility must be about people deriving a sensory experience from their everyday mobility. But we also know that the provision of mobility infrastructure has city-scale effects. So, we should consider mobility as a tool for connecting communities, facilitating new opportunities and creating conditions for economies to flourish." Francine Houben The RET has asked Mecanoo to think about how metro vehicles can be refurbished ensuring there is maximum capacity during rush hour and maximum comfort during off-peak hours, with the ambition of a comfortable, hospitable metro interior for everyone and an increase in transport capacity by more than 20%. #design #mecanoo #architecture #architectuur #arkitektur #arquitectura #arquitetura 🧑🏻‍💻 #mobility #interior #interiordesign

  • Happy to share our latest interior project. Located in the prominent Blaak business centre in the heart of Rotterdam, at the eponymous address, Five55 is a multi-tenant building housing several companies. Mecanoo was commissioned to upgrade the office building to meet the changing needs of its occupants and to boost the connections to the surroundings. A careful balance between a business aesthetic and an informal lively feel is achieved through the creation of public and dynamic common spaces on the ground floor. Upon entering, a combined reception and coffee bar create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Designed to improve and stimulate social interaction, four main areas organise the layout, grouping circulation, bars, kitchen and seating. #design #mecanoo #architecture #architectuur #arkitektur #arquitectura #arquitetura 🧑🏻‍💻 #interior #interiordesign Photography by @ossipvanduivenbode

  • KAMPUS is a new neighbourhood located at the former Manchester Metropolitan University campus in the heart of the city. Utilising the qualities of the existing built structures – Victorian brick canal-side warehouses and the 1964 concrete tower – presents the opportunity to develop at the city block scale, creating new connections and a new destination. A melting pot of buildings and spaces, KAMPUS will celebrate the vibrancy and diversity of the city with respect to the historic quality of Canal Street. Design Team: Mecanoo (design architect/landscape), shedkm (architect of the listed canal warehouse buildings), Exterior Architecture Ltd (landscape architect for the new build). Chapman Taylor is appointed as delivery architect for the new build. Property Developers: Capital & Centric and Henry Boot PLC. #Manchester

  • Mecanoo designs new RET Metro interior: Dynamic, modular and flexible. Previous to the corona crisis, thousands of travellers used the Rotterdam metro every day and some routes were at their maximum capacity during rush hour. Public transport company RET expects that the number of travellers will quickly increase again as soon as a vaccine for the virus is on the market. The RET has asked Mecanoo to think about how metro vehicles can be refurbished ensuring there is maximum capacity during rush hour and maximum comfort during off-peak hours, with the ambition of a comfortable, hospitable metro interior for everyone and an increase in transport capacity by more than 20%. In the new metro interior, every square centimetre is used to create as much space for travellers as possible. Mecanoo researched all kinds of variants for standing, supporting, leaning and sitting, which increases the variety in types of positions passengers can travel. This resulted in five modules of low and high chairs, benches, leaning elements and armrests that facilitate all possible sitting and standing positions. Curious to know more about the design?

  • Mecanoo’s proposal, Konka mixed-use, for the new Kang Qiao Jia Cheng development in Shenzhen draws from the small-scale urban tissue of historical chinese towns, employing a permeable urban fabric to allow pedestrian connections within the site and to all neighbouring areas. Located on a sloping site bordering the highway, the complex comprises two facing towers connected by a network of plazas and green terraces, as well as two stepped platforms which solve the height difference between the northwest and the southeast corner. #mecanoo #architecture #arquitectura #archittetura #render #visualisation #arquitectura #graphicdesign #graphicdesigner #arquitetura #skecthbook #conceptart #axonometric #highrise #tower #headquarters #residential #office #china #shenzhen #highrise #tower #masterplan #design #2nd
