Student Housing
How do you house students at a new university? This was the dilemma that faced architects Te Kiefte Architecten when asked to provide temporary student accommodation for a new university that was founded at The Hague in the Netherlands. Eventually the university will build permanent accommodation but for the present it needed studio rooms for 122 students – plus some common facilities – with a planned lifespan of five years.

Maison Hessel
The brief for Lille’s Maison Stéphane Hessel called for the design of a building which would serve three main functions: a 200-bed youth hostel, a creche for up to 70 children, and government-sponsored incubator for social and economic innovation.

Avilés Warehouse
Steel is the obvious choice of materials for industrial buildings, even more so if it is to be housing steel elements. So when steel maker ArcelorMittal was planning a new warehouse building in the port of Aviles in Spain, in front of its works, there was little discussion about the selection of materials.
