Jining Zoucheng Ferroalloy 1971 Industrial Heritage Park (Phase I) / DDON Planning & Design

The Ferroalloy 1971 Industrial Heritage Park is located on the site of the former Lunan Ferroalloy Factory in Zoucheng, Shandong Province. The project has not only allowed local residents and tourists to once again stand at the foot of the factory's iconic industrial heritage, but also provided high-quality and recreational urban green space. Respecting the site's history and integrity, the project infuses industrial-era cultural elements into Zoucheng, the millennia-old cultural town. This project enhances and enriches the city's overall quality and cultural value, contributing to the coordinated development of surrounding areas and achieving regional revitalization significantly.

The Sanctum House / RENESA Architecture Design Interiors Studio

The Sanctum in Amritsar, designed by Renesa Architecture Design Interiors Studio, stands as a rare architectural experiment in India, an attempt to reinvent the domestic typology through geometry, material, and spatial narrative. Spread over 12,000 sq ft on a generous three-acre plot, the house positions itself as a contemporary meditation on permanence and introspection, moving away from the predictable box-like houses or ostentatious palatial villas often seen in the country. Instead, it locates itself within a modernist lineage yet interprets it through the lens of Indian climatic, cultural, and emotional realities. At its heart lies a vast circular courtyard, not merely as an ornamental gesture but as the generative void around which the entire home pivots. The circle is carved out with great precision, forming an inward-looking sanctum that recalls the ritualistic and spiritual role of courtyards in traditional Indian homes, yet here it is stripped of nostalgia and reimagined as a modern sculptural landscape, with water bodies, planters, and shaded peripheries interweaving to produce a space that is contemplative, communal, and ever-changing with the light.

Barbara Bar and Restaurant / 89 stopni

A Very High Bar - During the very first visit to an abandoned venue in the heart of Warsaw, we came across nothing but old racks scattered around the former tailor's workshop. The place was almost empty, yet filled with an indescribable aura, something almost tangible, something you'd never experience in a modern building. We knew from day one that we would do anything to retain the spirit of that place. Our investors approached us with a request to design a cocktail bar right next to Bibenda – their restaurant, a popular spot frequented by both locals and tourists. It was a big deal for us to be working with such successful restaurant owners, and we knew the bar had been set very high. Although creating a follow-up to a popular spot might have been tempting, it wasn't enough for us. We wanted to create something unique that would stand on its own and win people's hearts simply by being what it is. And we did so – after long, exciting months of intense work, Barbara came to life.
