Tin House
Located in London, one of the most densely populated cities in the world, the Tin House has been designed by Henning Stummel Architects to create a secluded and tranquil living environment. Occupying a previously empty site, the building comprises six metal-clad ‘pods’ which each accommodate one function. Services, such as toilets and stairs, are housed in the corridors that link the pods.

L'Orangerie
The regeneration of the Belgian steel town of Seraing, on the outskirts of Liège, began more than 10 years ago. Among the most striking of buildings to herald the municipality’s metamorphosis is the L’Orangerie, a rectilinear golden filigree-clad building occupied by CMI (Cockerill Maintenance & Ingénierie) and constructed by Willemen Groep company Franki.
