Urban Nature Penthouse In Hong Kong
Hong Kong’s skyline has been regarded by many as the most astounding one all around the world, especially from the harbor or mountains. Considering such, this became the ideal location to develop our latest house project, a stunning penthouse replete with natural appeal, reminiscent of the region’s breathtaking horizons. Our penthouse in Hong Kong was imagined as a sort of paradisial landscape with sweeping city views, and then, decorated the interiors with high-end designs that epitomized the modern notion of luxury but in a lighter yet vigorous color scheme, especially playing on the timeless appeal of various shades of brown and neutral hues, eye-catching gold accents, and an abundance of greenery.
Hallway
The hallway was strategically designed to offer a heightened lifestyle experience. It highlights a clean aesthetic enhanced by marble features, including a timeless Nero Marquina sculpture and the Agra Console, inspired by one of the most famous monuments in the world. In regards to lighting, we display the Waterfall II Wall Lamp, a piece made of gold-plated brass and handmade crystal tubes.

Living Room
Every single corner of this living room area was meant to have ornamental flair, from the tray ceiling to the oxidized brass walls with small horizontal lighting units. The Shard Suspension Lamp becomes a spectacular lighting installation making quite a strong statement. It gives light to a series of exclusive pieces in a more neutral color scheme, including the modular and adaptable Anguis Sofa and the modern Galea Armchair.

Dining Room
The living and dining rooms are separated by foldable wooden dividers that offer it a more ethereal and natural look. This dining room showcases a delightful combination of light tones of beige and brown as well as a few floral adornments, including a lively wallpaper. Darian Dining Table makes a statement with its robust rounded form while the Nura Dining Chair becomes both an expression of luxury and comfort.

Master Suite
The master bedroom had a bit of dual decor character. On the one hand, it showcases a more Zen attitude with natural inspirations like silky wallcovering, wooden walls, tropical bedding, and a neutral terracotta rug. On the other hand, numerous ostentatious details certainly catch the eye, from the architectural ceiling to the high-end designs. Firstly, the Algerone Bed and the custom Waltz Nightstands create the perfect sleeping lair while the Algerone Dressing Table and Stool form a unique vanity space. Furthermore, the Bourbon Armchairs allow you to rest comfortably against a backdrop of mountains and the Delta Screen adds a dramatic flair to the corner, alongside a traditional sculpture.

Bathroom
The airy atmosphere of this singular bathroom set is commanded by a myriad of exclusive design features, starting with the extensive diagonal-patterned flooring. Nazca Vanity Cabinet adds an earthy feel due to its matte walnut root veneer structure. Besides plenty of natural lighting, this space also benefits from the harmonious and architectural allure of the Pharo Pendant Lamps.

Office
What better way to boost your creativity than to have sweeping views of Hong Kong’s skyline? Accordingly, the detailed Algerone Desk and Charla Office Chair were placed right in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to fulfill this effect. Moreover, an enlarged custom model of the Algerone Bookcase was placed behind the desk to offer as much storage and decorative space as possible while also adding a sense of modern glamour.

Outdoor
Decor-wise, the outdoors have been arranged with organic materials, bespoke wooden floors, green elements, and conservatory furniture that match the appeal of the city. The architectural blocks are also rather representative of contemporary architecture and introduce soundness to the area. The cozy Galea Seating family was chosen to adorn the outdoors as they combine style and modernity in a particular manner. Lastly, the Vertigo Dining Table in wood and marble becomes the perfect piece to host relaxing dinner gatherings.

Al Dhaheri reiterated IMKAN’s commitment to actively supporting the UAE’s public and private sectors through supporting home-grown brands that embrace the finest local concepts.

Sheikha Fatima Park is split into three experiential areas — A Discovery Zone, an Adventure Zone and an Experience Zone. Activities within the park will center around the wellbeing of the community with a year-round calendar of wellness and fitness events, family-friendly interactive activations, a pet zone, and a retail space featuring boutique shops and food and beverage pop-ups.
The impact of play is often disregarded and undervalued in the discussions around architecture, urban development, and city change. The Urban Conga’s work is highlighting the impact play can have on the health, identity, social, and economic values within the future development of our cities and communities. Play is universal and should be utilized as a vital part of the movement forward in reactivating our communal public spaces to become more inclusive, safe, and healthier places.
This work is paving the way for city stakeholders, urban designers, architects, and more to start exploring the idea of becoming a “Playable City,” an ecosystem of playable opportunities intertwined within the existing urban infrastructure that doesn’t just disrupt our daily lives but adds to it. Looking at opportunities that explore how play can start to exist in everyday spaces, and begin to encourage people to think about these spaces that could become PLAYcs: like a crosswalk, laundromat, public park bench, street light, or just the everyday spaces in-between.
As reported by WAM, Dubai participates in the Reinventing Cities Challenge for Renovating Urban Projects, organised by the C40 Network of Leading Cities for Climate Change, to renovate and transform several existing sites in cities into sustainable areas and projects.
Dedicated to delivering world class research together with new treatments and therapies, the Zayed Centre for Research by award-winning architectural practice Stanton Williams into Rare Disease in Children for Great Ormond Street Hospital Foundation Trust, University College London and Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity is the world’s first purpose-built centre dedicated to paediatric research into rare diseases.
With its prominent presence next to Coram’s Fields – the former site of the Foundling Hospital and a living symbol of children’s welfare for over 250 years – the Zayed Centre for Research is a new urban beacon of science and healthcare.
At the base of the building is a 600sqm double-height principal laboratory, visible from all sides within the Zayed Centre for Research as well as from the street outside. A shared single entrance bridge, which passes above these laboratories, welcomes both research staff and patients, drawing them into a central atrium, flooded with light. A transparent ground floor gives visibility and prominence to the activities inside the laboratories, while carefully articulated terracotta fins and glazing address Coram’s Fields and reflect the changing sky – expressing the civic significance of this ground-breaking institution.
A sense of openness and generosity dissolves the ‘clinical experience’ within. Encounters with ‘non-clinical’ surfaces, such as exposed concrete and European oak, create a calm and dignified environment for young patients and their families as they address their health issues: an environment shared with clinicians and researchers in the endeavour to understand and overcome the impact of life-changing diseases.

Exploring the journey and designs of Beirut-based Borgi | Bastormagi
Their creations hold an urban dimension, while putting the user at the centre of the design – they aim to question the relationship between body and space, suggesting different behavioural patterns and offering playful experiences that defeat gravity and equilibrium. The choice of materials is based on Borgi | Bastormagi’s inclination for minimalistic forms and techniques. Recent projects include a three-piece furniture collection named Hyphens which was showcased at Maison & Objet in Paris in September 2019, and a range of objects designed for the Sursock Museum Store in Beirut. At IMM Cologne 2019, Nada and Etienne presented Beirutitude: Design & Architecture in Revolutionary Times, a talk exploring design processes in Beirut’s current political landscape. Nada and Etienne’s new collection called ‘Shaping 90’ reflects their interest in challenging gravity and redefining balance. With Shaping 90 the design duo re-thinks the corner by proposing three multi-functional pieces for daily use – the Fillet shelving unit, the Pivot series of mirrors and the Bevel light.
