Greige Living Room by Althaf Khan

We often underestimate the power of neutral and monochromatic palettes. Using this color scheme appropriately, one can achieve great visual movement within the space. A living room usually acts as a formal as well as informal space within your home, we understand this and designed the living room in this home to exude warmth but also a sense of harmony and simplicity.

Activity Center / Adaptation by Marta Mocek

Adaptation of grange unit in Gdańsk, Poland.

The area neighboring the place of the project struggles with many problems involving spatial order, sociology, and architectural quality because of suburbanization phenomenon. Farm ground itself is in far-reaching degradation and has not been used for several years.

In responding to the area’s issues a complex of buildings, which makes the region look, more alive was designed, in which residential function and large mercantile structures dominate. The assumption of the project was to stick to the historical composition of the agricultural structure which includes large yard surrounded by buildings. The point of that is to create a public zone that integrates users. At the same time, it was planned to leave a part of historical tissues which are not distinctly degraded and valuable architectonically.

The project consists of three public utility buildings. The first facility has a function of a sports hall that is adapted to functional training (weightlifting, gymnastics, cardio sports and physiotherapy elements). The second facility is a restaurant with the idea of Slow Food. The third building is designed to be a hostel. The entirety closes with a preserved open construction of a traditional wooden barn which has an ecological market with local products in front of it.

Bare Bones Industrial Revolution Bar | Northern Quarter Manchester by Sonny Hayat

This scene was created with Manchester’s heritage in mind – the once mighty industrial revolution. The aim was to harmonise raw (and usually hard/cold) materials in to today’s 21st century environment, but also ensuring the scene is warm and welcoming.

The bar mainly consists of 4 materials – Concrete, Forged Iron, Galvanised Steel and hardwood – all the materials that we once knew so well!

Well now they can be relived in a trendy stylish bar in Manchester’s creative hub – The Northern Quarter.

Relax, unwind and work in a bar that takes you back to Manchester’s heyday.
